GOVERNMENT CONTROL
’ SXED BY RAILROADS
Officials Request Interstate
Commerce Commission to
Handle Crisis.
Washington.— Railroads of the coun
try, through the association of railway
executives and the American Railway
association, have asked the interstate
commerce commission to exercise its
emergency powers to relieve the car
Shortage and freight congestion.
In a statement filed with the com-
tesion, the railroad officials declared
tke situation was such as to "warrant
and to require emergency action sim
ilar to that taken when this country
sntered the war.”
The railroads’ formal petition asks
the commission to assume its emer
gency power under the Esch-Cummins
bill, which gives it power to supervise
distribution of cars and motive equip
ment, curtail passenger service and
Issue priority orders.
Appeals of the railroads -for help
have brought to light new dangers. De
velopments showed that a decidedly
menacing condition confronted the
commercial world through the tie-up
of the financial resources of business
houses. Delay In movement of prod
ucts was declared to have brought
many plants face to face with an im
mediate shutdown.
Interest rates at this time are so
high as to make it. out of the question
for most of the manufacturing con
cerns that borrow to finance further
production, according to treasury of
ficials. It was said the congestion was
costing the nation "millions a day”
through under-production.
Wholesalers and retailers alike are
suffering through inability te obtain
delivery of good, railroad men said.
BRITAIN AFTER WORLD’S OIL
President Tells Senate John
Would Exclude Allens.
Bull
Washington.— Great Britain’s policy
with reference to world petroleum sup
plies is reported to be to exclude
aliens from the control of petroleum
supplies within the empire, and to
endeavor to obtain some measure of
control over oil properties In foreign
oountries, the senate was informed in
a state department report transmitted
by President Wilson.
The report, signed by Under Secre
tary Frank L. Pork, was furnished in
response to a resolution by Senator
Gore, democrat, Oklahoma, asking
what disabilities were being imposed
upon American exploitation of world
oil resources by other countries.
of Riddle to restrain the state from
proceeding with the construction of
the se-called Canyonville cutoff sec
tion ef the Pacific highway.
The state board of control, acting
upon statements contained in telegram.«
received from the three members of
the state highway commission, indi
cating that there was urgent need of
funds with which to meet obligations
already Incurred by the state through
the awarding of contracts for post and
forest roads in Oregon, disposed of 81,-
000,000 of bonds under the so-called
federal aid road law passed at the spe
cial session of the legislature last Jan
uary. The bonds were purchased by
the Lumbermens Trust company of
Portland, which submitted the most
satisfactory bid of 89.09 in behalf of
the Continental A Commercial Trust A
