Commerce Commission
Told Rail Tie-Up Is
Worst Menace to Trans
portation Since 1917.
Roads Would Curtail
Passenger Service, Lift
Laws and Use Equip
ment In Common.

Washington, May I5.-(By the
Associates Press. 1.-THE govern
menf was asked Saturday to take
emergency action similar to that
taken when this country entered
the war" to help dig the railroads
out from under the worst freight
congestion since 1917.
A joint appeal to the Interstate
Commerce Commission by the AS
sociation of Railway Executives and
the American Railroad association
declared the freight jam to be such
as to warrant and require" imme-
diate use of that h0dys broad pow
ers under the transportation act, in
checking menace which had as
sumed threatening proportions.
Common use of equipment and
embargoes, priorities and diversions
of shipments were urged by the rail-
roads as means which the commits
sion could employ to remedy the
situation. The roads ask. also,
they be allowed to cHrtaiI passenger
service where necessary but indi-
Gated this would be done only in
extreme cases.
Would Suspend Hampering Laws.
While the present conditions continue,
the appeal says, carriers should be re-
lieved from operations of state and fed
eril laws which hamper them in meet
ing the demands upon them.
1t was requested also that the com
mission set aside its regular policy of
holding formal hearings, that no formal
summons be issued and that no answer
be required. All Of this could be done
as means of expediting the effective
dates of orders given by the commission,
1t was explained.
Get No Chance for Repairs.
The railroad officials represented to
the commission that there was no i'm
mediate hope of obtaining ample equip
ment and that the volume of commod-
tiles being offered for transportation
permitted no time for proper repairs.
The labor situation had augmented the
difficulties and does not promise immed-
late improvement, they said The un-
authorized strike of switchmen, the pc
tition stated. has contributed to the
growing public distress on account of
delay in the movement Of freight"
There was no indication tonight as to
the commissions course. Its fuD pow
ers under the transportation act have
not been employed as yet.
&c. C. Ready To Go Limit.
Officials expressed desire to ego
the limit" but hinted they did not know
where this might lead.
The railroads petition asked that the
emergency powers of the commission be
employed so that:
Necessary food, fuel and other vital
directly affecting the cost
of living and the life and comfort of the
people may be given preference and
priority in movement"
