PACE EIGHT BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE AY, DEC. 9, 1920 REPORT URGES ROADS BE PAID. ALL SUBSIDIES Back Holding ments to Common Carriers Usder Guaranty PRIVATE Pay SCORE Interstate Commerce Commis: | sion Urges Use of All Steel Coaches Wahsington, Dec. 9. Immediate payment to the railroads of sums due them under the guaranty provisions of the Transportation act but with: held under the ruling of the comptrol- ler of the treasury was declared by the Interstate Commerce commission | in its annual report teday to be “vital * ** in order that the carriers may prop ve the public.” The com- mission recommended that Congress amend the railroad act to permit the release and payment to the roads of the money thus tied up. } Many of the roads are greatly han- dicapped because of their inability to collect the guaranty, the commission sa Although advances against the anticipated deficit were made in scores of instances, thé report said, some..of | the roads. made. no application for aid prior to September 1 and as a re- sult they are estopped from claiming even a portion of moneys “justly “due them” until the mechanical work oi completing their audit for the entire guaranty period can be accomplished. The commission said that in most cases it could now determine “amount or part of amount due the carriers,” but that its certifications of these sums to the treasury could not be honored by the treasury since thd} comptroller had ruled that such ap- plications for advances must have been granted prior to September 1. The commission believed it should be authorized to make “reasonable esti- mates” to alleviate the difficulties con- fronting many carriers in meeting op- erating expenses, fixed charges, etcé . Would Cut Out Bonus The year’s rail operations have de- veloped the need of several other changes in laws, the commission said. It urged Congress to amend the in- terstate Commerce act to provide for the punishment of any person “offer- ing or giving to an employee of a car- rier subject to the act;any money or thing of value with, intent to influ- ence his action. or decision with re- spect to service and also to ,pre vide for the punishment of the guilty employee.” Appropriate legislation governing the transportation of explosives was asked as we hanges in la affect ing the awarding of reparations for damages which, the commission held, should be a matter entirely for th2 adjudication of courts. ¢ The menace of wdpden passenger } BONUS | | AIR CAPT AIN HELD [ IN TRAIN ROBBERY | CAPT.

Question of Bribery Referring to the question of bribery of railroad employes, the commission s a result of the inadequacy of the car supply and of railroad trans- { portation facilities generally during the past year, a p e has grown up among shipper ing operat: ing employees of railroad companies in order to obtain trausportation ser- vices. The demoralization effects of this practice are far-reaching. Brib- ery of this cha ‘ter Jn many instane-, th es can not be directly and effectively’ reached under existing laws.” On the subject of equipment sup- ply, the commission declared that while the shortage gould be minimized by car conservation and increased ef- ficiency, the only permanent solution was substantial additions to equip- ment. The latest general statistics of the commission showed that the railroads,.under, its jurisdiction, owned approximately 2,368,870 freight: .cars while an additional 140,000 cars were owned privately. / The freight cars were divided as follows: 1,062,830 box 1,009,875 open top Gars, 107,820 t cars, 83,000 stock cars, 60,200 re- frigerator cars and 45,000 cars of mis- cellaneous types. Freight Volume Increase Desipte the shortage of equipment enumerated by the commission,’ it showed that the volume of freight carried during the first seven months of 1920 exceeded by 17.1 per cent. the | freight traffic for the corresponding period of 1919. Freight traffic as a whole for the last seven months also | was said by the commission to be in excess of that of the entire year of 1919. While the traffic has increased, the commission’s figures show, the net operating income has suffered a con- tinuous decline since 1917. The com- mission attributed this to heavier maintenance costs in which war tax- ation figured. Incomplete statistics, however, made it impossible for the commission to offer accurate compari- son between the years 1917 and 1920, and. it made no attempt to estimate the figures for any portion ef the year.
