THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1935 APPEAL DELIVERED - FORRAIL AID BILL Pelley Asks Public Support to Equalize Transport Competition. In an unusual appeal “to those whose interest in railroads is more than casual,” J. J. Pelley, president of the Association of American Rail- roads, today called for public support for pending legislation designed to equalize competition between the | railroads and other forms of trans- portation. He cited particularly two bills—one to regulate the rates and charges of domestic water carriers, and the other to repeal the long-and-short-haul clause of the interstate commerce act. Urges Equal Treatment. Pelley argued that the railroads are entitled to equality of treatment with their competitors, whether highway, airway or waterway, and declared the latter have been aided materially by “public funds.” A step forward was made in the last Congress, he said, when interstate motor carriers were made subject to Federal regulation. To the contrary, he pointed out, op- erating costs will advance about $54,- 000,000 annually as the result of the new rail pension bill. while other | pending measures, including the six- | hour-day bill, mncrease the cost | of railway operation disastrously.” Expression of Views Sought. “Those who want to see more near- ly fair conditions of competition in transportation, with the benefit to business and recovery which will be %, result,” can be of real help by com- ' . : municating their view on these bills i 8 3 / to their respresertatives,” he empha- sized, Increased efficiency has put the £ 3 2 railroads in a position where they can i improve their financial standing with § § { 3 any substantial increase in business, H 3 Pelley said.
