Many people have been disturbed
recently ever the practical break
down Of the transportation system Of
the country.
Conditions became so deplorable
that the railroad executives petitioned
10 Interstate Commerce Commission
TO assume charge and regulate the

during the war by the federal govern
ment.

gestion in rail transportation is said
10 be one Of the prime causes Of the
high cost Of everything.
