GOVERNMENT AGAIN •
MAY TAKE OVER RAILROADS

I themselves, according to many officials.
It was recalled today that Walker JV
Hines. former Director General or Rail-
roads, appeared before a committee "f Con-
gress as long ago as February. 1919, and
urged the necessity of the immediate ap
propriation «>f $7.Vj,0OCUM)O, to build new
f'lulpjnent. Mr Hlnes sijpuseij the neces-
sity 1% constructing large amounts of new
rolling stock and declared tbat If the work
were not done the country would find It
"elf confronted with Just the situation
which has now arisen.
1'he statements of Mr. Hiries caused a
storui of disapproval and protest from
many of the railway executives, who ap-
peared personally before congressional
committees to urge that Congress not ap
propriate the SToO.'KNl.OOO for new equip-
ment, stating that sii 'h an assessment
against the capital accounts of the rail
roads would be "an economic disaster."
Congress saw fit at the tiiue to take the
opinion of th»* railway executives Instead
of listening to Director General nines, and
refuse;! the appropriation. This directly
brought about the present situation.
| Confronted with the Inability to inime-
. diateiy build the necessary rolling stock
to handle the Nation < transportation busi-
ness, the Interstate Commerce Commission
will put into effect this week practically
all the efficiency measures, by means of
which the country whs able to play its
great part iu winning the war, and at the
same time continue almost normal Indus-
trial conditions.
FREIGHT CONGESTION GROWING.
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON. D. C.. May It).- There
were indications tonight that the Govern-
ment would act in 4s hours to break the
Nation-wide freight jam, which for nearly
n month has been slowly clenching its grip
en industry. Sweeping orders by the In
teratate Commerce Commission, granting
priority of ahipment for fuel, food and
perUhahleM, were confidently awaited by
i allroad officials, who yesterday appealed
to the Commission to use all of the emer-
gency powers vested In It by the Trans-
portation Act. They expected the Com
mission also to bar temporarily the trans-
portation of all "dead freight," so that
necessaries of life could be rushed to com-
munities where shortages are expected
soon to exist.
The Commission was understood to be
prepared to lay aside its routine business,
that its whole effort might oe directed
at ending the truffle congestion. Its ex-
perts have l-een instructed «o work in
• -oujuncti>n with the Railroad Association
Car Service Committee in assembling all
'ivailablc data en ihe car situation, with
•j view to apportioning the supply where
it would (lo the most good.
Roads Ask for Help.
Appeals of the railroads for help have
brought to light new dangers In the sit-
uation. Developments in the last 24 hours
showed that a decidedly menacing condi-
tion confronted the commercial world
through the tie-up of the financial re
sources of business houses. Delay In
movement of products whs declared to have
brought many plants tare to face with im-

Will Work Together.
Railroad Officials reiterated their de-
claration to go "all the way" with the
Commission on any program. They were
frankly willing to unify the limit ex-
change equipment, or to make other ar-
rangement. to meet the temporary require
ments. What they want, they asserted,
is a lifting of the burden until they cau
get on their feet.
The volume of freight of sll kinds of-
fered for transportation was said to be
larger than the roads ever had been called
upon to handle. Ilailroad men said that
unless there was a quick relief the Jam
would grow and the movement of any
freight made more difficult within a few
weeks, bccause'of the increasing uumber
of cars tied up.
