mand Unification of 8yatam of Rail
way Regulation—Roada Aak Fewer
Maatsra.
Washington, Dec, 18.—Tho Congres
sional Joint Committee on Interstate
Commerce, which has been conducting
the Inquiry Into government regulation
and control of transportation, laBt
week decided to suspend Us hearings
on tlie subject and udjourned, subject
to the call of tho chairman, because of
the pressure of other work before Con
gress. According to the resolution cre
ating the committee, It Is required to
submit a report by Junuury 8th next
It Is understood Hint before that time
the committee will nsk for an exten
sion of time and that the hearings will
be resumed nt a later date, when some
of those who already have appeared
before the committee will bn question
ed further and n great mnny others
will he heard. It Is probable, howev
er, that the hearings will not be resum
ed until nfter adjournment of Congress
on March 4th. In nddltton to regular
routine business the commerce com
mittees of the two houses are charged
with the Important duty of preparing
and presenting the 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 Newlnnds Committee
Insist that there' Is no intention of
abandoning it.
It seems doubtful, indeed. If the
country would permit the matter to
he dropped If there were evidence of a
desire on the piirt of Congress to do
so. The nation-wide evidences of In
terest evoked by the Initiation of the
Nowlands inquiry show that the peo
ple of the country—shippers, consum
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 must be
taken without unnecessary delay to
make It possible for the railroads to
meet the growing needs of the nation.
Prom reports received hero It seems
ns though almost every commercial or
ganization and business Interest in the
country were engaged In studying the
rullroad question. The Chamber of
Commerce of the United States has
been conducting an elaborate Inquiry
Into various phases of the subject fot
many months past. Many local and
state commercial bodies In every part
of the country have committees en
gaged In, study of the problem and
have Indicated a desire to come here
and present tlielr views. National or
ganizations of manufacturers, lumber
men, coal operators, wholesale and re
tail dealers, have expressed through
resolutions tlielr desire for the unifica
tion of the system of railway regula
tion. The Nationnl 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 shippers of the country, but
they are not the only ones who are
taking a hand In the discussion. The
Investors of the nation, through their
own nssodutlons and through commit
tees representing the savings banks and
other financial organizations, are pre
paring to show the necessity of Improv
ing railroad credit aud protecting the
rights of those whose money Is Invest
ed In railway securities. Finally the
railroads themselves, being vitally con
cerned In the improvement of existing
conditions, arc planning to submit their
views through their executives, oper
ating officials and traffic experts and
to assert their willingness to accept far-
rcnchlng 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’^ transportation business.
Main Troubla Is Too Many Mastara.
Not all of these interests are In ac
cord as to the remedies that should be
adopted. There seems to be a general
agreement, however, that many of the
difficulties which confront the railroads
and which make It Impossible for them
to meet the requirements of the na
tion’s commerce promptly and satisfac
torily arise from the haphazard and
often conflicting 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
possible for the railroads to provide the
extensions and Improved facilities so
badly needed, while at the same time
protecting fully the public Interests,
