RAILS CHIEF RAPS FEDERAL CONTROL "Menace to Our Constitu tional Government," Says Agrtcw T. Dice U. S. RAISED ALL RATES Reading Head Tells Diners Operation Produces Bet ter Results Government ownership of railroads would "seriously endanger tho founda tions of our constitutional government," In the opinion of Agnew T, Dice, presi dent of the Philadelphia and Heading Hallway Companj". He believes thnt under government control tho methods by which new ralU road facilities would sooner or later be controlled would be similar to "the nntlonal scandal that recurs with each session of Congress In the huge appro priations for the Improvement of rivers and harbors." Mr, Dice mado these statements last night In an address at the annual ban quet of the Scotch-Irish Club, in the Bellevue-Stratford. Governor Sproul and Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador to Mexico, were guests at the dinner, V. K. liaises Rates Immediately Mr. Dice started his address on rail road control by nssertlng that almost Immediately after the 'government took over the roads on December 28, 1517, freight rates were raised 26 per cent nnd passenger rates 60 per cent, while so many passenger trains were taken off that passenger mileage was reduced 60,000,000 miles par year. None of the railroads, Mr. Dice said, had ever asked or expected Increases of the size that were made at once. "The excuse for taklnr over the rail- toads was given thnt the railroads had failed or broken down," said Mr. Dice. I rf spectfully submit that the railroads did not fnll or did not break down, but that the government failed r broke down In not providing proper super vision and regulation nnd authority to the railroads to ennblc them to do whnt wns necessary before the war to strengthen them. Hnd this been done. I nm satisfied that better service woum have been given during tho wnr, and I know that conditions on tho railroads today would be Infinitely better than they are." Says Trial Hhewrd Kvlla "The trial which has been made of government ownership of railroads In many countries, where that condition has been forced by circumstances and con ditions that do not exist In America, leaves no room for any reasonable doubt as to the evils, industrial and political. that Inevitably follow government own ership. "The national scandal thut recurs with each session of Congress, In the huge appropriation for the Improvement of rivers and harbors, furnishes an ex ample of tho methods by which the con struction of new railroad facilities would soner or later be controlled. Can It be doubted, moreover, that constant pres sure n-ould lie brought to bear through political channels to secure the adjust ment of rates desired by favored local ities, sections or parties? The uniform experience of countries which have gov ernment ownership (with the possible exception of Germany) Is that railroad management cannot be freed from politi cal Influences nnd It cannot be doubted that to subject the growth nnd operation of our American railroads to political control would bo aolndustrlal and eco nomlc disaster. "It may safely be ald, nevertheless, thnt a prime factor In the lowering of the American grade of railroad service under government operation has been the deadening of Individual Initiative, which Inevitably results when government red tape gets wrapped around any Industrial enterprise. "Mention hns been made of the un breakable connection, wherever govern ment ownership has been tried, between railroad management and politics. In every countrj', excepting Oermnnj-, where government ownership his como about, the evil political contequences have been fully recognized and fruitless endeav ors have been mode, both to preserve the railroads from the blighting effect of politics, and to preserve the pollcal life of the country from the corrupting Influence of having the vast body of railroad employes made amenable to po litical control.
