WOULD DEVIDE EXCESS EARNINGS OF RAILROADS Louisville, Ky.' Jan. 29—Walker D, Hines, director general of railroads, in an address before the Transporta- tion Club here tonight, urged the nec- e8sity of a division of excess earn- | ings of railroad corporations above a | reasonable return fn order to protect | the public against excess carnings of very prosperous railroads and in order to insure a Yair return to all rail- roads. “Thase whooppose this plan seem to assume that it will operate as a discouragement upon it capi- tal,” said My. Hines. assume that if this plan Is not adopt- ed there will be no discouragemert of private capital, but they should re- member the discouragements which have existed heretofore. The real question is whether a plan shall be adopted which will both protect. the public interest and reasonably protect private, capital or whether on :ie other hand a plan shall be adopted which will fail to do either with any degree of satisfaction.” Mr. Hines declared his helief that unless the railroad prohlem at the present time is dealt with, “in a bo!d and effective way,” the return to pri- vate management after federal con- trol “will be wholly disappointing.” The diregtor general also urged the compulsory” consolidation of the raii- road systems of the country into a few large systems and suggested the par- ticipation ,of the public and labor in the management of the railroads Ma- jor General Leonard Wood, who is visiting Louisville on an inspection trip, was another speaker at the ban- quet.
