STEAMER HANEY DISABLED GUARANTEE GALLING 1 Head of Union Pacific Sys tem Explains Relationship of Government to Kail roads. . OMAHA, 'Anpust 1. (Special) Thnt the United States ffov crment tloes NOT guarantee tho railroads of the country is brought to tho public view in a recent statement of President Carl It. Gray of the Union Pa cific System. President Gray cites the trans portation act. under which the railroads arc now operating, and accentuates tho point that the arrangement under which the railroads were paid during the Federaj Control came to an end on the last day of August, li)20. The statement of President H Gray quotes figures showing that the railroads of the coun try have never yet secured the return of (i per cent (later re duced to 5.75 per cent) fixed by the , Interstate Commerce Commission, and asserts that, on such n basis, the government would now owe the railroads ore than a (billion dollars. That the railroad earnings have been better since January, 1923 than for the same period m any of the three preceding yea's we are assured, "but lh" ; v o of return is , still lower- i-'ion tho Interstate Commrr o Com-i mission has prescribed as rea sonable." The s tat men t concludes with a reminder thut the "price of transportation can only ibo re duced as the cost of transporta tion is 'reduced' referring to the advance in a railroad's cost of living as in the case of the individual. President Gray caps his state-' nient with these words: "Constructive suggestions are alvays welcome." IIiiho Hull KckiiIIh Tmluy.
