The proposal of William McAdoo.
director general of railroads, that the
period of Keileral operation of the roads
be extended t" tHe years may have stir
prised a large part of the public, but it
was no surprise to the prominent offi
cials of twenty-four big railroad com
panies, constituting the Hallway Hecu
tlves Advisory Committee, which Is In
session tins week on the BellevUe-S'trat-ford
Hotel roof.
Mr. MrAdoo said three alternatives In
the railroad situation presented them
selves' tJovernmrnt operation for a
ear and nine months following the
peaie proclamation, prompt return of
the toads to prlate operation, and ex
tension of the Federal control period to
!le years. He eliminated the two first
mentioned and the third was left.
liy the same reasoning processes ap
plied to the same situation the Advisor
Committee had already concluded that
these three main courses uete open.
nllr iputril ArgunientH
Tliev had anticipated Mr. McAdoo's
arguments and anticipated, therefore,
his proposal of a five-year extension.
So the committee touay proceeded
with itH consideration of the situation
Just as lt would hae proceeded If Mr.
McAdoo has not given publicity to his
views.
Members of the committee refused to
discuss Mr. McAdoo's position today, ail

The committee is (Uite gratllled bv
President Wilson's attitude as shown

must be constructive and helpful rather
than simply repressive, as it has been
