COUNTRY DEMANDS ACTION Shippers, Investors and Representa tives of All Branches of Business De mand Unification of System of Rail way Regulation—Roads Ask Fewer Masters. V* ashlngton, 1 >ec. 18.—The Congres sional, Joint Committee on Interstate Commerce, which has been conducting the inquiry into government regulation and control of transportation, last week decided to suspend its hearings on the subject and adjourned, subject to the call of the cliainuan, because of the pressure of other work before Con cress. According to the resolution cre ating the committee, it Is required to submit a report by January Mil next. If is understood that before that time the committee will ask for an exten sion of time and that (he hearings will be resumed at a later date, when some of those who already have appeared before the committee will be question ed further and a great many others will he heard. It is probable, howev er, that the hearings will not he resum ed until after adjournment of Congress on March 4th. In addition to regular routine business the commerce com mittees of the two houses are charged with the important duty of preparing and presenting tiro legislation asked for by President Wilson to make im possible a railroad strike without pre vious investigation. This will leave little or no time for the consideration of the general questions of railway regulation. Country Wants Something Done. Members of Congress and others who are interested in the inquiry un dertaken by the Newlands Committee insist that there is no intention of abandoning it. It seems doubtful, indeed, if the country would irermit the matter to he dropped if there were evidence of a desire on the part of Congress to do so. The nation-wide evidences of in terval evoked by the initiation of the Newlands inquiry show that the peo tun- ers and investors, as well as railway men themselves—are alive to the fact that the railway situation is highly un satisfactory and that steps roust be taken without imitecv - ary delay to make ii possible for the railroads to meet the growing needs of the nation. From, reports received hero it seems as though almost every commercial or ganization and business interest in the country were engaged, in studying the railroad question. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has been conducting an elaborate inquiry into various phases of the subject for many months past. Many local and state commercial bodies in every part of the couirtry have committees en gaged in study of the problem and have indicated a ties?re to come here and present their views. National or ganizations of manufacturers, lumber men, coal operators, wholesale and re tail dealers, have expressed through resolutions their desire for the unifica tion of the system of railway regula- tion. The National Industrial Traffic' League, speaking from the viewpoint of shippers using the railways, has Indorsed exclusive federal regulation providing it is accomplished in such a way as to give full protection and prompt adjustment In matters relating to transportation within the states. Many Interests Studying Problem. All these organizations represent pri marily the shipi>ers of the country, but they are not the only ones who are taking a hand in (he discussion. The Investors of the nation, through their o#n associations and through commit tees representing the savings banks and other financial organizations, are [ire paring to show the necessity of improv ing railn ad credit and protecting the rights of those whose money is invest ed in railway securities. Finally the railroads themselves, being vitally con corned in the improvement of existing conditions, nre planning to submit their views through their executives, oper- nting officials and traffic experts and to assert their willingness to accept far reaching federal regulation along lines that will enable them to attract capital and to provide the facilities needed for the prompt and efficient handling of the country's transportation business. Main Trouble is Too Many Masters. Not all of these interests are in ac cord as to tlie remedies that should lie adopted. There seems to lie a genera! agreement, however, that many of the difficulties which confront the railroads and which make it impossible for them to meet the requirements of t*ie na tion's commerc e promptly and satisfac torily arise from the haphazard and often con flic ting measures of regulation that have been adopted from time to time by the federal government and the forty-eight states and that what is needed is a well ordered, systematic scheme of federal regulation that shall cover the whole country and make it possitde fur t he railroads to provide the ! ons and improved facilities so clod, while at the same time fully the public interests. : '"/f?
