TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1917. ROADS ASK PUBLIC FOR CO-OPERATION Head of Railway Executives' Advisory Committee Out i lines Remedial Plan. PROBLEM DECLARED VITAL Centralization ol Regulation. by Fed eral Commission Suggested as Measure as Important as Federal Reserve Act. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Jan. 10. Frank Trumbull, chairman of the railway executives' advisory committee and chairman of the board of directors of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Com pany, at the annual dinner of the Louisville Transportation Club tonight, appealed for the co-operation of the American people in solving the eco nomic problems confronting the rail roads. "They have," he said, "the oppor tunity to accomplish the most Impor tant piece of work since the passage of the Federal Reserve banking act." He asserted the greatst conomic problem the country faces is its trans portation problem, the solution of which "will require the intelligent and unselfish co-operation of all the many Interests involved." He declared it was the people's prob lem "just as vitally" as it was the railroads' problem, and the previous policy of the public of considering the railroads as something "from which they might properly wring the last possible ounce of service at the lowest possible cost has had but one effect which today is glaringly apparent. "Today, even'after the most prosper ous year in their history," Mr. Trum bull said, "we find the railroads ut terly unable to meet the demands of commerce. Returns Less Than 6 Per Cent. "Railroad efficiency has been seri ously impaired and railroad credit in jured so that the business of the whole nation is suffering from the lack of its fundamental need adequate transpor tation. To this statement doubtless the railroad critic would reply that dur ing 1916 the railroads earned more than a billion dollars net the great est sum in their history. This sounds impressive, but it shows a return of less than 6 per cent on the railroad property devoted to the use of the public And in the face of a constantly rising cost of labor and material this margin of earnings is bound to de crease." Meanwhile, according to the speak er, one motor company in 1916 had earned 3000 per cent on its capitaliza tion, while scores of other corporations had earned 50 per cent and more on .their common stock. In their invest ments, he said, the "American people had returned an obvious answer whether they would place their mon ey in "unregulated private businesses showing such returns or in the over regulated railroad business with Its many uncertainties and relatively meager returns." Remedy la Outlined. Turning to the question of a rem edy. Mr. Trumbull said: "Upon the suggestion of President "Wilson that the time had come to discover if present methods of regula tion could not be improved on. Con gress has undertaken through a joint commission of the Senate and House to make inquiry into this whole trans portation problem. Under 'the direc tion of the committee, of which I am chairman, about 90 per cent of the Im portant railroad lines of the country will present their suggestions for the committee's consideration. "Briefly, they provide for Federal supervision of railroad, securities; Fed eral incorporation of interstate car riers; Federal regulation of rates; a regional and functional division of the work of the Interstate Commerce Com mission; restricting rate suspensions to not more than 60 days, and giving the Interstate Commerce Commission pow er to prescribe minimum as well as maximum rates. "It is the belief of the railroad -exec utives that if the railroads can be re lieved of the inefficient regulation of 48 states and the Federal body and this regulation be united under one head with regional subdivisions that a Kreat part of their present difficulty will be removed. On this platform the railroads have taken their stand and ask for the co-operation of the people because the business of this country ran prosper only as it is adequately served by efficient transportation.

DECISION EXPECTED SOON Right of Congress to Regulate Wages as It Does Rates Main tained by Sir. Haserman. Argument Lasts 3 Days. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Final argu ments were heard by the Supreme Court today in the case testing Constitution ality of the Adamson act, with members of the court continuing to display their extraordinary interest by fre quent questioning of counsel. A decision la expected within a few weeks, although summary action on the important issues - is not deemed probable. February 26 has been men tioned as the possible date for the de cision as the court reconvenes that day after recess of three weeks to prepare opinions. Three days of arguments were con cluded this afternoon. The closing ad dress was made in support of the law by Frank Hagerman. of Kansas City, special assistant to the Attorney-General, who contended vigorously Con gres has authority to regulate rail road employes' wages in exercising its Constitutional power over interstate commerce. Attorney-General Present. Attorney-General Gregory, several Senators and many railroad and other lawyers, followed today s proceedings. Maintaining power of Congress to pass the law. .Mr. Hagerman said it can oe operated temporarily like the Interstate Commerce Commission temporarily reg ulates rates. Is there any law of that kindr asked Justice McKenna. 'It's done by the Interstate com merce Commission in daily practice, said Mr. Hagerman. There's no claim ' that this law is confiscatory," the attorney continuea. Consrress acted in Its discretion, a ac cretion with which the judiciary has no power to interfere. Oh, no one claims mat liib luui . substitute its discretion ror mat oi Congress," interrupted Chief Justice White. " Pre?edenti Are Cited. The Federal employers' liability. hours of service, pilotage auu. m aws were cited by Mr. uagerumu precedents of the attention of congress to contracts or erapiojuiciiu When Justice Whitney asaea it w. awa were analogous to rate regula tion, Mr. Hagerman said: Til admit the question in inn goes a litue turiner man ju heretofore decided." Justice Pitney asked if Congress had power to regulate the price which rail roads snail pa; iui iv4 - gines. - I want to know if 'there is Any vested right in private property the line being private operation and pub lic regulation?" said Justice Pitney. "Can Congress force men to work against their will for wages they may not be satisfied with?" Mr. Hagerman emphatically gave ma Individual opinion that Congress has powers to enact compulsory arbitration legislation, "if necessary for the move ment of trains." Workman and Cars Compared. That railroad workmen are Just as much a part of 'transportation as cars or locomotives was contended by Mr. Hagerman, saying: "If this court can say that the wage of the man who makes possible, the movement of trains has no real or sub stantial relations to commerce, then my words are without erfect. a he pay of men has a direct bearing on ef fectuality of transportation." 'Can Congress fix tne price or cross Hfs'" asked Justice McReynolds. The attorney replied tnat moments In actual movement of trains were sublect- to Congressional regulations. "The question of ties is lust a de gree removed, ne saia, ana we are only dealing with the movement' or the trains, and the court has saia tne men are a part ana parcel oi move ment In everything that concerns tne movement of trains, engines, cans and what-not. Congress is supreme, witn power to regulate anything that deals with the movement or commerce, con gress has the right to remove or pre vent obstructions of commerce, whether by- compulsory arbitration- of a strike or the bold threats of carriers last September to stop carrying freight in anticipation or a strike. Public Interest Cited. In the interest of efficient and safe transportation, the attorney argued, the public has an interest in employes receiving an adequate wage. "The public has an interest in re ducing expenses: hasn t it? ' asked Justice Pitney. "Is it your view that Congress go so far as to appoint rail road officers and directors?" "If a carrier abuses its trust. Mr. Hagerman answered, "and doesn't per form its public runctions, tne puoiic is entitled to the use of the road and could have a court take hold by re ceivers." Regarding the power of Congress to prevent strikes. Justice McReynolds asked: "Is there no limit in what Congress can do to stop a strike? In the Debs case could Congress have ordered the railroads to pay Mr. Debs $50,000 to stop a strike? "That s putting it pretty fierce, but I believe Congress could." Mr. Hager man answered. Case Closes Amid Laughter. "Oh, you don't mean that," Justice Vandevanter interjected. "That minim izes and detracts from everything you have said. "I think," suggested Justice Holmes to the attorney, "that you are very wise in dealing with this question to be precise and not consider the degree the matter can be pushed. In arguing that the law was work able, Mr. Hagerman pointed out that the railroads had admitted It by agree ing to keep separate accounts after January 1 to insure prompt payment if it were withheld. Asserting that the railroads "need not be afraid of the United States," and turning to the railroad lawyers. Mr. Hagerman closed by quoting, amid gen eral laughter, a line from the gospel hymns as follows: " 'While the lamp holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return.'
