In this connection a high official source today authorized the following statement: "Generally speaking, the legitimate de mands of labor for representation on the committees of tho Council of National De fense will be met In the reorganization of the council." That was as far as any official would o pending the President's announcement, It was explained that the President and Cab inet fully realized that the existing com mltteo sjstem Is extremely cumbersome. Kach committee has many more members than are needed. As a result, there has been bitter criticism of their work nnd cer tain Senators and Representatives have ! leged thit members of these committees were more Interested tn obtaining Govern ment contracts than they were In seeing that war preparations were pushed or that excess profits were taken out of Govern ment contracts Under tho proposed reorganization, all this will be changed. The various com mlttees will be pruned so that most of them will havo only a few members. Many com mittees will bo entirely abolished. The en tire work of the advisory committees wilt be readjusted so that men will not be In the position of seeming to have made pur chases from themselves or from corpora tions In which they are Interested.

The First and Refunding Mortgage is a first lien on the Company's "clearing yard," which represents an actual cash expenditure by the Company of approximately $10,000,000, and in addition, is a junior lien on all the remaining property of the Company. The real estate alone owned by the Chicago & Western Indiana Railroad Company Was recently valued as railroad property at $96,057,' 950.98, and the total valuation, including construction, additions' and improvements, Was $128,011,827.16. As against this valuation, the Company's total debt, including all prior liens and the notes (but excluding the First and Refunding Mortgage Series "A" Bonds, pledged as collateral security) amounts to $66,000,000. The Chicago tfi IVcsfern Indiana Railroad Company has two principal divisions its passenger terminal and the main tracks leading thereto, and its "Belt Railway" division, utilized entirely for freight interchange. This "Belt Railway" division, which includes the "clearing yard" above-mentioned, is controlled by and operated in the interest of the following companies! Pennsylvania Company Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company Illinois Central Railroad Company Chicago, Burlington fi Quincy Railroad Company Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company of Indiana - Minneapolis, St. Paul 6z Sault Ste.

Of the twelve railroads mentioned above, the last five own all of the capital stock of the Chicago and IVestern Indiana Railroad Com pany, and jointly use the station terminal properties of the company, including the "Dearborn Station," and its connecting tracks, for all their freight and passenger business to and from Chicago under nine hundred and ninety-nine year leases, which have been in force for many years. These leases require the payment of taxes on the Chicago - Western Indiana property and interest on its obligations issued from time to time as funds are expended for betterments and improvements.
