By Lowell Mrtlett TJniUd Nw Staff Comcpoadcat ' Washington. March 12. That;. the railroads , are heading straight j; to- ward federal control again Is the opinion. In Washington - Quarters where most consideration is given to rauroaa arairs. J The announced intention of the Penn tsylvanla is to cut wages and the pre paratory steps In that direction taken , by the Missouri. Kansas A Texas and the St. Louis-San Francisco, with the certainty that such action will result in tbs men on those lines quitting work, is held to make renewed government ?p- eratlon . Inevitable. It is expected, f ur ther, to result In a. greater movement in 'favor of government ownership than has tyet been started In this country. ; imi'vvna utt T.innn I . s i . The most significant thing now oc curring in American railroad affairs is not the controversy of the railroad ex ecutive and the railroad union officials before the railroad wage board in Chi cago, and not : the announced cut in wages by the roads named. It "is a series df .negotiations started secretly 10 days ago between representatives of .certain Important banking i houses and - certain representatives of organized 7iabor over the heads of the railroad executives. The initiative came from the T hanks in question, not from the men tak CTng an important part in the pour par-'-irr, most of which have been conducted -tn New York, although the first meeting -was a quiet two-man meeting In.

It vaa -profitable, he said, but now the banks -must give it up, in the interest of the jwhole business community. What . he -jntant was that the banks, must - be -ready to allow the railroads to pass out jDf private hands or private control at -.the least in order to avn!d wholesale receiverships . which would paralyse i about reedy to Indorse government Ownership, though declaring doubt that wiv puuuc is jreHirvii iur,iut sic p.

SHIPPERS TO MEET f j i Shippers will take a hand in the bat-1 tie between railroad managers with their workers Monday,' when, they meet in ' conference here on the rate situation. The shippers position was outlined by Clifford Thorne, an attorney for ship pers organisations. He said: "It is hardly fair to expect labor to absorb all the reductions. The high passenger and freight rates were estab lished to produce increased revenue to the railroad companies as well as in creased wages. That attempt failed. We should now try to put rates back on a basis which would not seek to accom plish either of these results. And then business will revive. This would be for the benefit of all of us. It will help labor. It will help the railroads. It will help business.'' , Thorne -'said he was confident a re duction in freight and passenger rates is contemplated by railroads If they get the wage cut. - 130 Congressmen Set Sail for Canal Zone Norfolk.
