COUNTRY DEMANDS ACTION 8hipp*ri, Investors and Reprsianta- tivei of All Branehei of Business De 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, Children Cry for Fletcher’s The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which hos been In nso for over over 30 years f has borne the signature of jy and has been made under his per* sonal supervision since Its infancy* CAaSyfflaACtUAZ Allow no one to deceive you in this.
