WANT U. S, BOARD
Cuyler Urges Broad Federal
Regulation Plan Beforo
Houso Committee
ASKS FOR ADEQUATE RATES
Hy the Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 20 Recommenda
tions of the Association of Railway Ex
ecutives for return of the railroads to
private operation under conditions that
will Insure ndequatc revenues and max
imum service lo the public were laid
before the House committee on inter
state nnd foreign commerce today by
Thomas I)e AVitt Cuyler, of Philadel
phia, chaliman of the association.
Congress, under the plnu, would di
rect the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion to "approve rates which will en
able the railroads to be self-sustaining,"
the rate regulating authority to
be vested exclusively in the central com
mission and reglonnl Bubcommlaslons.
There would be no guarnntec of income
or dividends bv the government.
Uroad regulator) powers would be
vested in n federal transportation board
to be rated as n co-ordinate body with
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
This board, to be composed of three com
inissieyiers appointed by the President,
would be chniged with "general over
sight of transportation from the point
of view of the public interest."
It would relieve the Interstate Com
merce Commission of nil functions ex
cept rate regulation, valuation and ac
counting. Money for Expansion
In regulating rates the commission
would net upon certification by the
board fiom time to time of the nmount
of revenues needed by a railroad to pay
opeiating expenses and a "fair return"
on the value of its properties and main
tain credit sufficient to nttract new
capital necessary for the expansion of
facilities
It was believed, Mr. Cuyler said,
the railroads should have from $700,
OOO.OfiO to SI, 000,000,000 of new cap
ital annual) for expansion of facili
ties to meet the growth: of population
mill industrv. The proposed board also
would hive authority to distribute traf
fic when necessary to relieve congestion
on certain lines, to require the use of
joint terminals when in the public in
terest, and in times of national emer
ge iicv to consolidate all lines into a
unified s)stem.
It also was recommended thnt Con
gress authorize the consolidation of
existing lines into "strong, competitive
s) stems" when cousidereel to be In the
I ub'.ic inteiest.
Would Broaden Control
The association recommended, Mr.
Cujler said, n greater unification of
public regulation of the railroads b)
"bioadening nationnl control." It be
lieved, he said, there should be ex
clusive national control of the issue of
securities and the expenditure of new
enpitn). Provision for federal iucor
poiation of interstate carriers also was
advocated
To avoid the risk of "financial dis
aster" upon return of the roads to pri
vate operation, Mr. Cuyler said the rail
vva) executives believed it necessary
that the guaianteed standard return
from the government be continued until
it was possible to "restore the equilib
rium between revenues nnd expenses"
,nnd make the carriers again self-supporting.
It was proposed that this re
adjustment of rates be undertaken by
the interstate commerce commission in
consultation with the director general of
railroads nnd the proposed fedeial
transportation board.
I5v wa) of further financial relief for
the roads upon resumption of private
operation, it was advocated that their
indebtedness to the government on ac
count of capital expenditure made dur
ing the period of government control be
funded foi ten )enrs.
In concluding his stntcment, Mr.
Cuvler nttacked the Plumb plan for
reorganization of the railroads, declar
ing it was mi radical that when under
stood it never would be approved by the
company.
Washington, Aug. 20. (nv A. P.)
Dnector Cencral Hines and represen
tatives of the six railvvny Rhop crafts
began discussions today of the shop
men's wage demands. It was said that
Mr Ilines was working on a plan for
the handling of these and similar de
mands f i om other union? affecting vir
tually nil the railroad emplojes. De
tails are expected to be announced in a

Norfolk Butcher Admits That,

i
About Testifying
opposed to regulation;
n- the Associated Pres
Washington. Aug. L'O. Opponent
of legislation providing for regulation
of the ment packing industry were heard
today when the Senate agriculture com
mittee resumed consideration of thn
subject.
William T. Nnrdln, of St. Louis,
manager of a milk condensing plant,
objected to federal licensing on titer
ground that other industrial establish-'
rncnts would be required to submit to"
regulation. The situation from the retail
butchers' standpoint was presented by
Emmanuel Washerman, of Norfolk. Vb
"Anv legislation thnt hurts the pnek
ers will hurt the retnll-r nnd the busi
ness," he said "I've nlvvnjs found tho
packers fiiir nnd square "
The witness admitted that lepre
sentatives of pickerR hail talked to him
nhout appearing before the c ommlttee,
but Bald lie was interested himself.
"I don't doubt some retailers ar
profiteering," he added.
In the main. Wussermnn said, thn
lnrge puckers furnished better meat at j
loner prices than independents
T Unvis Hill, head of n Ilnltimorti
packing house, nnd fourteen other in
dependents, presented n letter of pro
test against the regulntlon measures.
"You've seen the statement of tho
federal trade commission that the fivo
packers control lire stock prices?"
Senator Kenvon asked. "Vou think
that's wrong''"
"Thej Influence prices, not control
them."
Hill said his own firm "did better
than the large pnekers, if you tako
their stntcment. Thnt meant an S per
cent dividend on its SI ,000,000 capi
tal." he explained. '
"About profiteering," Senator Ken
yon snid, "do jnu think there Is any of
thnt in the packing business?"
"When I hear of the profits of some
of mv friends in the shoe Vnd drygoods
business, I'd be inclined to think wo
were profiteeiiiig If we did ns well."
Questioned about the organization of
the American Institute of Ment Pack
ing, Hill insisted thnt its contiol was
in the hands of' the independents.
