NATION’S RAILROADS !He Rejects Proposals of Roads’ " Exacutives to Retain Control | = Washington, D. C., Dec. 11.—Presi- dent Wilson last night rejected the proposal of the railroad executives to retain control of the rallroads under the Interstate Commerce Commission's nnification scheme. As a consequence he will go before Congress within a, few days perhaps before the end of the week, with a message urging the pool- ing of the nation’s transportation facil- JIties under government operation. The railroads’ view, as drafted by , Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the | Railroads War Board, was submitted to President Wilson yesterday after- noon by Senator Newlands, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee a-tives Limited, Ogdensburg, N.Y. on Rallroads. After his conference at the White House Senator Newlands announced thc President’s intention of laying the situation before Congress. Here are the outstanding features of Mr. Harrison's recommendations: 1. The immediate appointment of a traffic officer to represent all import- ant government departments to secure efficient government co-operation. 2.

The railroads' position was lald down ’in the following letter from Mr. Har- | rison to Senator Newlands, made pub- | lic by the latter last night: “The American railroad system has not broken down.

They have a prompt and beneficial action on the organsof elimination, relieve headache and biliousness, tone the stomach and restore appe- as to the immediate requirements a{l the railroads in their present situation. Their operating troubles are a volume [ of traffic greater than the capacity of the plants in certain limited territories, aggravated by excessive use of prefer- ence orders, and their now serious malady of dilution of labor, which is general throughout the country and common to all industry. Nevertheless, the railroads under present manage- ment are prepared to furnish all the transportation which the existing plant can produce under any form of maragement. **1. They do not ask one billion dol- lars from the government or anybedy else at the moment. They could not invest it in plant and equipment if they had it, becaure of the aifficulties of getting materials and labor. That figure represents in round figures what ought to be spent in every year for several years to bring the American railroad plant to capacity to handle efficiently the growing traffic. “About $€00,000,000 per annum on the average has been spent for a num- ber of years for road and equipment, | which, at present prices, would be equivalent to about $1,000,000,000 for, road and equipment. “2. They do not ask at this time for repeal of the anti-trust and anti-pool- ing laws as relating to them, for they do not consider such relief immediate. 1y necessary to increase unified opel tion. The co-operative use of f: ties will be continued in such way as to obtain maximum efficiency. “The present system of voluntary unification is adequate for this. No interest has declined, or will decline, for selfish or oth¢r reasons to respond to the requirements of the present co- aperation organization. “3. The immediate appointment of a traffic officer to represent all im- portant government departments in transportation matters, with whom the railroads can deal, to secure ac- tive government co-operation, the prompt and orderly transpartation of government traffic and avoid the ex- cessive use of preference orders which congest traffic instead of facilitating it ‘4. Most of the rallroads need lo- comotives immediately ‘and enough new cars to replace those warn out. There are approximately 3,800 loco- motives and 33,000 cars still on order undelivered for American railroads. The railroads expect to provide the capital. Priority orders are essential for prompt delivery of such equip- ment. “5. Approximately 2,000 locomo- tives and 150,000 cars, in addition to those now on order, are necessary for early construction to meet the re- quirements of next year, and at pres- ent prices represent a cost of approx- imately $500,000,000. While a num- ber of rallroads are able to purchase their quotas of such equipment with- out aid, it is apparent that because the United States has necessarily oc- cupied the investment market for war loans, as evidenced by the recent re- quest of the secretary of the treasury that no new private financing shall be undertaken without conference with him, the railroads cannot next year provide thraugh their usual channels for the requirement of capital, for the acquisition of equipment and other possible additions to plant. They in- voke, therefore, the co-operation and aid of the government through the Treasury department and the Federal Reserve board to secure for them, on their own individual credit, the new capital found by the government to be necessary not only for enlargement of plant but for renewing maturing ob- ligations. “6. Immediate increases in rates as defined by the Interstate Commerce commission’s special report to meet increasing operating expenses and strengthen credit are necessary in Iastern territory and may become ne- cessaTy in other territories. “7. Rallroad men drafted to be en- rolled and assigned to railroad service until actually needed for military service. “Faithfully yours, I (Signed) “FAIRFAX HARRISON, “Chairman.” Senator Newlands declined to make public the details of the attitude as- sumed by the president during their interview. He was in conference at the White House for about a half- hour, after which time he went to his office at the Capitol and issued a state- ment on the situation. Senator Newlands has been busy since his arrival in Washington in se- curing for presentatian t6 the senate committee on interstate commerce all available information regarding the railroad situation and the recent rec- ommendations made by the Interstate Commerce commission regarding the unification of railroad operation with a view to meeting war conditions. Senator Newlands said, in part: “The Interstate Commerce commis- sion and the Rallway War board dif- fer as to the necessity of legislation to meet the urgent requirements of the war. The commission insists that unification of operation should be con- ducted either by the carriers or by the president. The railroads, on the other hand, claim that there is no ne- cessity for legislation: that the unifi- cation of the rallways already ar- ranged for under the Railroad War board is proceeding successfully. They state that in the past $600,000,000 per annum has been spent for road and equipment which at present prices will be equivalent to $1,000,000,000 and that the Western and Southern roads will be able to meet the require- tite.

Most of them, how- ever, have come out for government operation. The railroads’ opposition to govern- ment operation is well understood. But some surprise was expressed last night at their objection to suspension of provisions against poaling traffic and profits. . Those within the government who believe the railroads themselves can handle the situation if given free rein do not oppose legislation to make a full pooling compulsory.
