"We men at the hemd of great corporations
are coming to a btterunderstanding" Of
what th government: expects ' of ' ua" ha
continued. "We are getting th pobit of
; view of the administration. I am of the
opinion that th administration la beginning
to realise that It haa been a little too radical
In Ita attitude toward the rallroadr and I
took to eee Its opposition take on mora and
ore of the aplrlt of co-operation." 1
ifr. Harriman deollnedio talk about the
teport that he had obtained control of the
aadlng railroad. -Speaking of agitation
gainst corporate wealth he eald: - -
"They we" U of jjs ought to. have- con-
lldered the posalbla effects of thla agitation
before It waa begun or before oondltlone
that; made Ita growth possible were' Allowed
to continue. It e had all met on common
ground and co-opeaated for far mutoal bene-
fit nobody would hi : worrying over th
situation aa if ia today. We all made a mla-
Ukef In Nthto.i. i teaUae' the mlatake 'and -4

: to aae llrf OppoalUon take on- more of the
spirit of co-operation. I believe' the; rallr6ad

' justice . x . ' . -'''-.
We men; at the head" of the greaV cor.
poratlona on our part are coming to a better
understanding of what the government e-
pects of ua. Wa are beginning to get 'the
point of view 6f the administration. We
teei war. now au or us me pudmc tne gov-
erpment and the railways are on common
ground where we can deal with each other
tin the right aplrlt - . .
i TO WW PUBLIC GOOD WILI
"I am more than willing to give my aup-
port to auch a process of enlightenment. I
am ready to make the advancement Of such
. a scheme of co-operation my chief Interear;
v Surely there could be few conditions that
would be of more' wide publlo benefit than
to eliminate hostile friction .
"Railroad managera have I am willing to
admit. In the past neglected to build up a
r strong barmony relationship between them
selves and with the -government and the
' public. ' Tbia matter had' been left to eubor-
dlnate officers and the remit has been that
'such relations have been completely neglect-
ed. Now we must take the matter In our
hands. In order to bring about a better un-
derstanding and co-operation ; . v; v .
"Our policy in the. past haa been a mis-
taken one but It can net be eald that we
have neglected our aervloe as to the publlo.
When one eonsldefa what -the railroads have
ttone to develop this nation we can not be-
' Ueve that the" railroads have been anything
but beneflcliU to .the jiatlonf;-v v;;t.v
"The marvelous development of the coun-
try baa been due to a large dagrei to the
enterprise of Ita railroads. Since the time
we took 'hold of the system of railroad of
. which I am the. head tha mm nf rfjl trfi ft
haa been expended In rebuilding the roads
rhla haa been all done since 1800.. Aa another
Instance of what the railroads are doing to
' advance the general prosperity of -the nation :
I'll tell (you that the roads of which I am
the head purchase about 1000000 tone of steel
rails yearly and during that period we have
purchased about 4.000000 tone. -
"All thla adda to the welfare of the nation
and the development work which the rail-
roads have done in some cases resulted In
the building of so large a tract that tbeV are
now unable to handle it' - t
"Combination really - benefits the publlo.
The publlo may think otherwise but It will
learn the real truth In time. That time will
come sooner if combinations are legalised.
I believed in control and regulation aa I
declared before .the interstate commerce
commission but 1 think within the limit of
such control corporations ought to be al
' lowed to combine as they And It necessary or
beneficial.' - '
. -i RAILROAD MISTAKES 'f
Mr. Harriman said the railroads had fre-
quently been at fault In the past by their
. failure to live up to traffic agreements. In
thla way' there had come a lack of confidence
among railroad men and the public naturally
grew to lose' confidence In the acta of th
railroad men. l; '
Restrictive ' legislation Mr. Harriman
thought must tend to reduce dividend un-
: less met In some other way.- The fact la
plain he said there ia a lack of confidence
by capital. He cited the price paid by the.
. New York New Haven and iHartford Rail-
' road company for its recent loans in France.
Aa to the money outlook Mr. Harriman said
that the present tension Is bound to react on
Industrial co-operation. .i .- r . -
. "I know. In a general wAy of all around
movement to reduce upplle. That's com-
mon sense" he said. "A for our own roads
We are making our business more compact
trid trying to conduct traffic at lea coot.
We may have to come to higher freight
rates." - ' ! .
Mr. Harriman then tools tip the Chicago
and Alton reorganisation. H eaid that In
considering the condition that existed at
that time the .road haill not been over-
canltalised. - ' -
