RETURN TO
COMPETITIVE BASIS
Would Withdraw. Restrictions Placed
by Government to Solve Trans
portaslon Problem

Observation-Disclosures OF a rail-
road rate heliday-duriag which rail-
roads could make their own rates with
out government restrlction-has been
suggested at the treasury as a possible
solution OF the nations transportation
problem.
The belief was expressed that II 4
holiday OF government rate regulation
OF five years or more was declared,
the railroads could Fix their rates TO
meet the varying changes In the diff
ferent sections Of the country some
what on a basis Of what the traffic
would bear" and better railroad ser
Vie and greatly improved industrial
and commercial conditions would arise.
Secretary Mellon was represented as
fayoring the removal Of rate restrlc-
tions from the railroads and a return
to the old competitive basis under
which he was understood TO believe,
the country had the cheapest and best
transportation facilities In Its history.
The suggestion advanced at the
treasury was made merely AS one OF
the possible solutions OF the national
transportation problem but was taken
as significant In view Of the known In
tention OF President Harding TO recon-
mend changes in the transportation act
sometime next winter.
