Funding Of
Railroads
Is Raped
McAdoo Declares Gov
ernment Not Moral
", Legally" Bound
to Program.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Disap-
proval of the administrations rail-
road funding bill, recently report
ed to the senate interstate com
merce committee, was expressed
by William G. McAdoo, former
director general of railroads, In a
letter presented to the senate to-
day by Senator Stanley, democrat
Kentucky, who requested Mr.. Nc
Adoo's views after the committee
refused to hear him.
rhe government is not morally
and legally bound, as stated by
President Harding, to fund the
$763, 600, 900, the railroad owe the
government for additions and bet
terments, Mr.. McAdoo asserted.
He declared ''the president must
have been misled into making such
a statement adding that the law
provides for the funding OF the
remaining Indebtedness" of the
railroads, which he calculated at
$263 100000.
Payment of this balance, Mr..
McAdoo said, may be deferred ten
years by the railroads provided
satisfactory security was given
and six per cent interest were
paid.
He urged that before any
further advances were made, the
railroads be required to abandon
the "inefficiency of labor" claims
amounting, he estimated, to about
$500, 100000.
