Washington, Feb. 1.—The railroads of the country were in better physical con- dit#n at the end of the period of fed- eral control than they had been when taken over during the war, William G.

The commit- tee which is conducting an inquiry into recent conditions was unale to hear all of Mr. McAdoo's testimony today and he will continue his statement tomorrow. Mr. McAdoo contended railroad labor had been loval, remaining at its post when more lucrative emplovment was offered in other industries and that wage increases made while he was director- gentreal were not excessive but sub- sequently were further increased. The railroads were turned back to their owners, he declared, with 2,000 more locomotives, 28,815 more freight cars and 1,051 more passenger cars than | they had possessed at the beginning of federal control and “were In condition to meet the heaviest demands In their his- tory.” The credit of the railroads was de- stroyed before the war” Mr. McAdoo told the committee, quoting statements by railroad executives on the subject. The railroad .executives, he added, did not produce under federal control the results as to revenue and operation they had brought about prior to that time. The raflroads were permitted to con- tinue for four months after federal con- trol was established with Httle inter- | ference In the way of manazement, sald Mr. McAdoo, but the regional reorgani- zation, he contended, was necessary In May, 1918, when he “became convineed that the management of the railroads by the rallroad corporations could not produce desired results.” Tnification of the rallroads, the form- er director-general continued saved £118.000,000 in rating ckpenses in 1918, Throughout federal control, ex- rienced raiiroad executives were in ze of the propertiez .under his di- ion he sald, denyinz “the deliberate attempts made to create the impression that I thade immeliate drastic changes in the manazement of the railroads and, disregardin~ the experience and at of the ble raflroad men of the country attempted to tun the railroads upon new and untried thvories of my own.” Replying o a auestion by Senator Fernald, ~ republican, Maine, Mr. Masdoo declared he Aid not advocate 7001z of, business by the railroads un- @er private control but favored as- sisting the roads in commeting for traffic. If the rallreads were in “deplorahle conditions” when returned to the cor- March 1, 1920, and if their cqipment was I the “worst condition ever known” Mr. MeAdoo asked how was it possible that in that vear as st Parations #A in the testimone of their executifes thew handled “the largest vohime of traf- S in thelr history, Performance of this “greatest task” he added, was possible hecause “during the federal control, $1.219.540.291 was expended in - imorovements, tions, betterments and eauipment which made the railroad promerties a hett traneportation machine than on January 1. 1918, when the government took pos- Considerabls tims was given hv Mr. MeAdon during the afternmon session to a discussion of rafiriad waze cond tions. e sald that in his opinion rall- road lahor wae grossiy underpaid at the the government and that there were many grave abuses in matter of working conditions.
