repaired at once. II It was necessary
to give men working rules that de-
stroyed their efficiency, to avoid the
delay that would have come from
strikes, such course was Justltied py
the demands of war" But, he de-
cIared, if the railroads had been per-
mitted to CO. ordinate their efforts, as
they tried TO do. there would have
been no need of federal control
When the railroads undertook 10
work together under the direction oI
the old war board, the attorney
general threatened to have the Off
GERS arrested for violating the anti
trust law when the government TOOK
the roads for operation. but pro-
ceeded to bring about unified action,
as the railroads themselves had tried
to do.
After the war, Storey said. the
same reasons that justified certain
actions during the war no longer oD-
tanned, and the country began TO
grow restless under the conditions as
they found them. They missed the
ordinary courtesy to which they had
become accustomed; they become
alarmed at the growing cost to the
government Of the railroad machine;
they became convinced that old sys-
tenn gave them better results than
the new. AS a consequence, Congress
prepared after several months study
the Transportation Act, 1920. IL re-
ceiyed most careful considera ton
and, when passed, was the first
commemorative, constructive piece or
legislation enacted by Congress 70
cover the whole railroad situation.
"As result Of the Transportation
Act. 1920 the roads came back 70
their owners on March J, 1920. But
things have not worked out az was
hoped when the act was passed. inc

the entire county regardless of own
crship with track detcriorated. WIN
