Thon Attacks Refusal to Permit
Payment Of Money
Loaned Roads.

Refusal of the Treasury Department
to authorize the payment Of money
loaned the railroads from the. $780,
600 900 railroad revolving fund by
the Interstate Commerce Commissio
was scored by Alfred p. Thon. counsel
for the Association of Railroad Ex-
ecutives, before the fourth section of
the Interstate Commerce Commissi ron
today.
He declared that the Treasury had
no jurisdiction over the distribution
of the loan fund which was promoted
to aid railroads to meet maturing
obligations and purchase rolling
stock and equipment.
In connection with the Treasury
contention that the road could have
obtained the money from outside
sources, Thon said: IF the roads
were unable to obtain the money at a
fair rate of interest, the commission
may feel justified in considering that
the roads were unable to obtain the
money"
