Jim Watson to Lead Fight of
Railroads for Private Control

cause Of private ownership of rail
roads.
The job Of the institute now is to
get facts" and publish them to the
country.
Watson's lob win be to take these
facts and with the support of pub
lie sentiment make the fight in the
next Senate. And beyond the next
Senate lies the presidential campaign,
the real objective Of the institute.
Issue to People
The understanding now is that the
OLD guard can avoid any prolonged
discussion of transportation IN the
next Congress. The cry will be to
take the issue to the people, to let
taem decide when they elect a Presi-
dent. and then to let the Congress
which follows interpret their decision.
It was TO assist the old guard in all
the prehminaries to a fight with the
progressives that the institute was
organized. according to the word here.
Incidentally, Watson's association
with the transportation fight has
linked him up with President Hard
ing again. The President is counted
on to be the champion of private
ownership.
