RAILROAD OUTLOOK IN U. S. RESTS
ON WAR, SAYS LEHIGH VALLEY HEAD
Owing to a cold, E. 15. Thomas, president of the Lehigh Valley Rail
road, did not attend the annual meeting of stockholders held in this city
today, but at tho request of the EVENING Ledoeii, ho gave out the following
statement:
"The railroad outlook for 1010 is a difficult one about which to
prophesy," according to Mr.
Thomas. "Everything depends upon
tho situation abroad. If the wnr
continue, it is highly probable the
present level in railroad earnings
jvill be maintained; but if the com
ing year sees n cessation of hos
tilities, wo must face a gencrnl re
adjustment, which will then depeno
upon tho situation in this country;
particularly, much will depend upon
tho treatment tho railroads receive
from the regulating nnd legislative
bodies.
"Constructive legislation is cer
tainly calculated to follow tho work
of n commission formed on tho
lines suggested by President Wilson
in his recent message to Congress.
A careful inquiry into tho activities
of Stato and national regulating
bodies, I believe, will rovcnl them
engaged largely in petty matters
which, failing to give tho public
better service or more safety, tend
only to hamper tho railroads, add
great sums to their cost of opera
tion nnd make now financing for
them exceedingly difficult. Tho
most constructive work possible
would bo tho curbing of these ac
tions nnd the introduction of a sys
tem in the hnndling of such mntlcrs
ns must naturally come before such
bodies; nnd the adoption of a plnn which would insure uniform nction in
tho vrrtous States ut the same timo protecting tho railroads from the
petty 'tucks from which they havo suffered so seriously in recent years.
The railroads of the country havo faced nn unusual situation tn the
last fow months. I believe every una
