SAMUEL REA SUGGESTS
PRECAUTIONS FOR RAILS
Rejects View That Higher Rates
Would Increase Living Costs or
Facilitate Profteering.

DETROIT, Mich, January 16-Re-
lease of the railroads from federal con-
troll is desirable. but their aba ndonment
by the government without proper bust
ness and legislative precautions would
be a calamity. Samuel Rea. president
of the Pennsylvania railroad. declared
in an address at the annual dinner here
last night of the Detroit real estate
board. He urged that the standard
compensation fixed by the federal con-
troll act be continued for at least six
months and the roads be returned with
sufficient working capital ''tr resume
operations"
Mr.. Rea suggested the funding of the
war Indebtedness to the government and
adoption Of a ratemaking rule or the
fixing of some minimum return for the
guidance of commissions which regu-
late rates.
Failure of Congress to deal adequately
with the railroad situation, he said
would mean a "stagnated railroad sys-
tenn" which would cripple industry and
curtail production.
Mr.. Rea rejected the view that in
creased transportation rates would in
crease the cost of living or be an ex-
cuse for profiteerng. 81 am firm be-
lever" he continued, ''in the fact that
with better facilities we can do in
creased business and secure increased
production and efficiency and avoid a
total stoppage of new railroad mileage.
But the railroads can never work effi-
GENTLY nor at lowest costs with de-
ficient plant and deficient revenues"
Gov. Frank o. Lowden of Illinois was
another speaker. He described econo-
mics effected in his state through the
governmental agencies into nine COM
pact departments. He also described
the working of the state budget sys-
tenn.

SHIPPING MANIPULATIONS

Chicago Food Director Reveals
Conditions at Chicago Interest
ing to Consumers.

CHICAGO, January 16.-ManipuIa-
ton of shipments has caused jump
in potato prices here from So and
1925 a hundred pounds to So and $3.50,
according to statement issued today
by Russell ]. Poole, director of the
bureau of foods, markets and farm
products of the city and health de-
partment.
On December 5 the statement said
potatoes were selling at the lower
figure. There was a gradual increase
until January ), when the price
jumped 80 cents a hundred.
We find that during this time,
due to the negligence in handling
potatoes by shippers or the railroads.
there have been S61.106 pounds of po-
tatoes frozen. spoiled or wasted" said
the statement. This is a matter of
1882 bushels and, at the present
price of cents pound, as they cost
the consumer, that would mean $43,-

Poole said that most of the Michi-
gan and Wisconsin potatoes sent to
the Chicago market have been held
by farmers and the Potato Growers
Exchange, (which seems to me con-
trary to the Sherman antitrust law"
He pointed out that the farmer sells
to a dealer at his nearest market,
the dealer to Chicago brokers, who
handle only carload lots; the broker
to commission men, the commission
men to retailers and the retailers to
consumers. The consumer, he said.
