JOHNSON ASKS AID FOR RAILROADS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES Baldwin Locomotive Works Head Assails Excessive Reg ulation and Persecution by States ADDRESSES LUMBER MEN "The people of tho entire country need protection against the legislative tendency In various States toward the weakening of tho transportation systems." Alba B. Johnson, president of the Bald win Locomotive Works, made thla declara tion today before the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Association, which Is holding Ha 34th nnnual convention at the Bellovuo-Stratford. Mr. Johnson said that Congress should bo urged to bring about tho centralization of regulation of Interstate commerce nnd advocated moderation nnd conservatism In the reculatlon of rnllr-nnrfa An .-An..., , he asserted, the defects of tho system oi regulation nave Become more and moro apparent, IIo predicted a readjustment of the functions of the Interstate Commerce Commission nnd said that Congress will probably be asked to establish regional Bubcommlsslons. "Tho expenses of tho railroads are In creasing," said Doctor Johnson "They must bo treated so that they will attract new capital." After pointing out the necessity of holplng tho railroads In other ways, Mr. Johnson touched upon the subject of In mirnnce. In this connection, ho saIiI: "The Supreme Court has declared that Insurance Is not commerce. However, In surance la essential to commerce. Life Insurance espocinlly has become so glgantla In Ita scope nnd so benetlcont that It affects tho welfare of tho people and tho business Interests In a Vital man ner. "Insurance should have tho protection of Federal legislation," Mr. Johnson said. "It Is now BUbJcct to the varying legisla tion of different States, and in some cases meets with extreme persecution. It Is necessary to centrallzo tho control of In surance and free tho companies of un Eclcntlflo exactions. "I consider this to bo one of tho most Important measures upon which nn In telligent public opinion should bo created, for onca the great masses of our peopto have studied and formed an opinion of tho Justness of tho measures asked for, rolicf will surely be forthcoming from tho legislative authorities. "It has taken more than 20 yenrs to establish in tho minds of our people tho principle that not only transportation, but nil other line of business must bo conducted In the Interests ot the people, nnd must also bo subject to bo much of Government Inspection nnd regulation as Is necessary to determine tho equity and reasonableness of Its operations. "But public opinion, which throughout tho last two decades has been hostile to transportation and tho larger business In terests of tho country, must learn that true prosperity can come only from n mutual understanding nnd harmony of business practices and public opinion. It Is Impossible for public opinion to Insist effectively upon measures which are de structive of business Interests, and 'It Is equally Impossible for the business in terests to contlnuo practices which are injurious to the public welfare. Thero is a common ground upon which both these conflicting Interests can stand, and the next great period of education through which wo must pns3 Is tho defini tion of this ground, so that public opinion and tho business practices ot the country may be In cordial accord; the one sustain ing nnd justifying the other, and a thorough co-operation established. Let us hope that It will not requlro another period of 20 years far such a thorough study nnd discussion of the subject as may be neces sary to accomplish thla end." The delegates were welcomed by How ard B. French, president of tho Chamber of Commerce.! Addresses were also made by Director of Public Safety Wilson and Glrdon C. Edeard, who presided, Tho convention will close tomorrow ilght. EXHIBIT WILL TOUR COUNTRY Government to Equip Train Showing Safety First Work WASHINGTON, March 15, The safety first exposition, held In Washington re cently, showing what the Federal Gov ernment Is doing in tho saving of life and property, may soon be brought to the doorsteps of every citizen in the United States. The exposition was of such far-reaching educational value and created so much public interest that Secretary of the In terior Lane conceived the Idea that the rest of the country should be given the opportunity of seeing It, Daniel Wlllard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Hall road, has offered to furnish a special train to transport the exhibits. The rail, road also agreed to haul thla train free, stopping In each city or town to enable the people to Inspect the various exhibits.
