RAILROADS HARD HIT.
The great war congress ended
in tumultuous scenes, the equal of
which have been witnessed only a few
times in the history of the United States
and they were scenes, too, which reflect
no credit to some of the actors whose un.
fortunafe antics were never more actuat-
ed by partisan jealousy and animosity
than in the closing hours of the sixty-
fifth congress. Just what has been
gained by them is difficult to determine.
If it was to force an early call of the
next session of congress that Senator
Sherman stood for hours on the floor of
the senate making a speech which had
no other purpose than to wind-up the
sixty fifth session without giving the
Democratic party in the few minutes of
its control, the privilege of enacting
needed laws, the effort was a sad failure.
It was also bad politics because the fail-
ure of congress to provide certain appro
priations, chief among them the $750,-
000,000 for the railroads, cannot help
but redound to the discredit of the per-
petrators of the successful filibuster,
The railroads, today, find themselves in
a sorry state, a state so comphcated that
the rail administration itself, has no
immediate plan to extricate jtself, Fail
ure of congress lo pass the $730,000,000
appropriation leaves the railroads ‘all
dressed up and no where to go". The
administration faces a deficit of $381,
000,000 due to the lines for settlement of
1918 accounts and no money in sight to
carry out the extensive improvement
program which it was planned should
help to provide employment for thous
ands of skilled mechanics and laborers
during the period of reconstruction,
Unless funds can be obtainede either
through the costly practice of private
financing or the questionable aid of the
war finance corporation the railroads
will remain unpaid and as a result they
may be slow in paying their bills for
supplies and materials. An unpleasant
outlook with the heaviest purchasers of
our country's manufacturing products,
at least, temporarily financially embar-
assed. The railroads must be financed
at once or must pecessarily go back to
their former owners and this without
regulative legislation which the most ar
dent opponent of permanent govern.
mental control recognizes as necessary
fo meet the new conditions of the day.
