RAILROADS TO GET
new U.S.ADVANCES
ADMINISTRATION NEGOTIATING
SETTLEMENT WITH RAILROADS
FOR ADVANCES OF s5oo,o0o0oo
WILL BENEFIT ALL BUSINESS
Railroad Will Give Notes To Govern
uens EVideneing Indebtedness
At Six Per Cent Interest

Washington.-The administration,
is is learned. is negotiating a settle
ment with railroads under which the
roads would receive advances from
the federal treasury of half billion
dollars during the next six months.
The money, the administration
hopes, will benefit all business by
reviving the buying power of the
roads, and permitting their rehabili-
tation. At the same time, it is held,
one of the principal causes of unem-
ployment Will be abolished.
The railroads will give notes to
the government evidencing the indeht-
edness, bearing interest at per cent,
according to Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon. Meantime, the claims of
the roads against the government,
and the claims of the government
against the roads, which are in dis
pute, will be compromised, and the
sums now to be advanced will offset
against the ultimate balancing.
Additional appropriations will be
sought from congress for the adj
vances, Mellon indicated, although
there is in the treasury at this time
nearly a quarter of a million dollars
from which payments can he made
without legislative action.
An advance of half a million to the
roads would bring the total govern
ment holding of railroad securities to
nearly a billion dollars, $400,000,0 600
worth of bonds now being on deposit
on which the roads are paying inter-
est regularly. The claims of the roads
against the government for under
maintenance approximate 100000
while the government claims about
$500,000,000 from the railroads as a
result of permanent improvements
made during federal control.
The administration, it was learned
holds that the railroad problem may
prove the key log in the industrial
JAM" and believes that as the rail
roads right themselves and business
will follow. 1t was pointed out that
railroads employ 20 per cent of all
labor in the country and ordinarily
purchase 20 per cent of all supplies.
The inability of the roads to make
purchases has reacted throughout in
dustry, is is argued.
The roads, it was stated, are pur-
chasing fewer supplies and employ
ing relatively less labor than at any
time in their history. Disabled cars
have increased from 5 per cent to
16 per cent in a month because of
the poverty of the roads. Employees
number 100000 less than normally.
Back to its efforts to relieve the
railroads, is the desire of the adj
ministration to lower freight rates,
which it is argued would stimulate
all business and would particularly
benefit agriculture. But it is be-
lieved that the roads must first be
put in a sound condition, and be given
ability to effect changes in the inter
est of economy.
