Last May in his message to the
that the railroads would be handsd
over to their owners at the end of the
calendar year. 1t is now necessary
to act by issuing the proclamation. In
the present circumstances, no agree
ment having yet been reached by the
two houses of Congress in respect to
legislation on this subject, it becomes
necessary in the public interest to al
low reasonable time to elapse be
tween the issuing Of the proclamation
and the date of it's actually taking ef-
feet.
"The President is advised that the
railroads and express companies are
not organized to make it possible fol
them to receive and manage their pro
perties if actually turned over to then
on December 81, and if this were
done, it would raise financial ant
legal complications of serious cha
racter
''The railroad and express compan-
les should be given ample opportunity
to adequately prepare for the resump
tion of their business under the con-
troll and management of their owns
stockholders, directors and officers
Therefore, the transfer of possession
back to the railroad companies will
become effective at 1901 a. M, March
1, 1920"
The decision of the President was
set forth in the following proclama-
tion:
