WANTS RAILROAD SERVICE AT COST Chief of Conductors Modi-1 ( lies Uriginal .brother hood Proposal AGREES TO PRINCIPLES liy the Associated Press Mathlngton, Feb. 10. Somo direct governmental agency, working not for profit but to furnish transportation at cost, was advocated today by tho four railroad brotherhoods a-j their solution of the railroad problem before Congress. A. B. Garretson, president of tho. Order of Hallway Conductors, speaking', tons tor tno four Dig employes organlza- tho other throe brotherhoods had been won over to government ownership of railroads by experience under govern ment operation, and that all Indorsed In principle the proposal presented by Glenn H Plumb last week, though they had not considered its details. Mr. Garretson said tho financial and operating sides of tho railroad ques tion were virtually one nnd that the task of Congress was to decide whether the two functions- could be performed best by private or government owner ship. Warren S. Stone, head of the engi neers: TV. G. Lee, of the trainmen, and Timothy Shea, of the firemen, Mr. Garretson- said, were private owncrihlp ad vocates until the experlenco of govern ment operation. Ho explained that they still advocate private ownership In gen eral, but government oVnrshlP'-as ap plied ,to the railroad Industry. ') He thought It was "die germ of what government ownership might be if per fected" that had caused their change of, mind. " Much of Mr. Garretson's time on the stand was occupied with n theoretical discussion of rates and returns. Ho op posd any scheme for guaranteeing a re- turn to tho railroads under private ownership, and said It was ns legitimate to guarantee 'every other line of busi ness as the railroads. Ho asserts that if the government became liable for a deficit In the railroads' Income the gov ernment niso must be -a participant in their profits.

By "Transport THE T LKDG&RPHIIIADELPHiAV MONDAY, C&Ftwm PROD CoMlnurd from r.ie Or. LI 1 1 E M KlllCltilS and tho Allies in regard to Germany , is the question of shipping enough! raw material to Germany to get her Troops Stop Picketing, industries, In somo degree, started t jut r TiTl before peace is signedf ' Raid Meeting, Rout Mob European opposition to all this is of two sorts. One motive is the de sire to keep Germany weak, another is the tiosire to keep German wealth where tho Allies can seize it for reparation. Germany as Plague Spot The American position is that the world cannot afford to havo a great nnunrrfzed nntion in central Eurone as n breeding spot for social disturb - ancc, and Germany cannot pay un - less permitted to produce. But the credit question, as already indicated in these dispatches, is big ger than the question of the rela tions with Germany. If underlies the whole problem of making peace and the whole question whether or not the present social organization of the world will be able to maintain itself or will yield to drastic changes. Without a single economic com mand you would have tho economic forces of Europe working at cross purposes, with less harmony than existed between the military forces of the Allies before the naming of Foch as supreme commander. "Restoring Prosperity" Countries are barring out each other's products and striving to kill ofr tlle industr5es f Gjr ns if somehow, prosperity could bo re- stores, provided only enough damage could be done to rivals. Instead of commercial industrial co-operation among peoples who are setting up peace in tho world thero is nothing but fear and friction. The question what part America will play in furnishing credit for tho fu 'ture doubtless is tho biggest one iefore the new council. The council naturally cannot have authority to compel America to fur nish credit, or England or France to let down present economic bar riers, but its decision on questions like this will have great weight be cause its solution of all problems will bo inter-related. Europe is likely to get out of America somo things it wants and America, in return, to get certain things it wants in respect to the restoration of relations with Ger many. Pressure for credit from the United States; is not confined to France. England, much more po tent diplomatically and commer- cially than France, is pressing equal- Iv hard for credit from America, Thc demand takes two forms-Mian- i cellation of part of the war loan and advance of new loans now for industrial reconstruction. European government financiers are not impressedwith the position of the American Treasury Depart ment that additional borrowing in' America is not practicable. On the question of the cancellation of tho war debt England is not likely to take the advanced position I of offering also to cancel some of her loans to France and the lesser Allies. Her argument is that the, weaker 1 nations Vnust get securely 'on their feet lest they pull down stronger .. .!,,,., . , , , nations with them into financial and social difficulties. j fidently was expected by omcIaU today, I despite the action of the strikers' con ference committee In refusing to yield LLOYD GEORGE HOME AGAIN I on the que8tlon 2iHta' t0 work i1 pAbaFi llainvn In Tamasmb 1 remicr D.6CU86CS Labor 1 roubles' in thd United Kingdom U Ixmdon, Feb, 10 Premier T lnv,1 George, who returned from Paris Satur day night, was engaged ypsterday In dis cussing the labor troubles In the United Kingdom with the cabinet ministers and the Board of 'Trade officials.
