Bryan Denounces Private Ownership of the Railroads Washington, Aug. 30. William Jennings Bryan laid before the House Interstate Commerce Com mittee his dual plan of State and Federal ownership of railway lines as a solution of the railroad reor ganizatTßn problem. In doing so, the former Secretary of State de nounced private ownership of the railroads as indefensible and intol erable and characterized railroad magnates as political corruptionists. "We have never tried Govern ment ownership," declared Mr. Bryan, refering to the railroad ad ministration. "A subsidized news paper never thinks to tell that the Government took over the railroads when the private owners could not run them. The Government has been only in temporary control, and the roads in the hands of those who wanted to see Government ownership fail so they could get the roads back."
