ASK U. S. SUPERVISION
PLANS TO SOLVE OPERATION Ex.

PROBLEMS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service. }

Washington, March 21.-Co-ordina-
tion of the facilities and service of
the railroads under strict government
supervision is proposed by the nation
al association of owners of railway
securities as way out of the trans
portation crisis.
The plan has been submitted to
Chairman Cummins of the Senate in
terstate commerce committee, and $.
Davies Warfield, president of the as
sociation, announced representatives
of his organization would appear
later before the committee.
Mr.. Warfield says that the plan will
save millions of dollars annually, in
crease facilities and service and lower
fares and rates. He adds that Ameri-
can transportation has Outgrown its
present system and warns that the
railways must recognize that only
drastic measures will save them from
being swallowed up in the demoraliza-
ton that government operation and
after-war adjustment has brought"
Unless intensive economical meth
DDS in administration are adopted he
continues, There is no alternative but
government operation, followed by
government ownership, although the
country has given evidence of being
opposed TO it,"
The proposed plan is supplemental
10 provisions of the transportation act
permitting regional consolidation Of
physical properties by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The proposed coordination would be
brought about through national rail-
way service, to be organized by an act
of Congress, and which also would be
an agency to purchase equipment to
be furnished the railways without
profit.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion would select five of its members
who would constitute the service divi-
sion. This division would have super
vision and initiatory and regulatory
powers to be exercised through the
board of the national railway service.
The board would be composed of
forty members, subdivided into two di-
visions-finance and administrative
and railway officials Of twenty mem
bers each.
Subordinate to the board would be
four group railway-boards, one in each
of the four rate territories-eastern,
southern, western and mountain-Paci-
fic. Each board would have seven
members, five to be selected by the
railways and two from the shippers.
The twenty railway officials serv-
ing on these four boards would serve
as the railway officials division of
the national board.
Cooperating with the group board
would be ten committees, each select
ed from the railways of each group.
