That the railroads are not only
under strict governmental regulation
and supervision, but that the cost of
such is borne by them rather than
by the taxpayers, is the assertion of
H. D. Pollard. Receiver for the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway today. Mr.
Pollard's discussion was inspired by
the present treed toward governmen
tal regulation and supervision of all
industry, which so far as the rail
roads arc concerned is rothing
He said:
“The railroads have for a long
time been supervined and regulated
by governmental authority. They
are under contract, through collec
tive action with they employes as t
hours, wages, and working condi
t'ons. Labo- relations are subject t
review by Federal authority under
the law.
“Moreover railway rates are regu
lated by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, inurin'ate rates
service by the state utrtity commis
sions. The value of railway property
is fixed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and financial transac
tions such as the issuance of securi
ties, taamwing. from the Recon
struction Finame Corporation etc.,
t be apyrovt-d by it. The Com
mission requires regular and com
plete reports of practically every
'railway activity. The railways com
ply with the salfety requirement* of
tate and Federal authority."
Mr. Pollard mentions the recent
provision by Congress for a Federal
Coordinator and staff “in addition
to the regu’ar and long prevailing
regulator}’ measures" governing the
Uroads. He says “the expense of
the Coordinator'* administration

railroads themselves, which are as-
