Private Operation Cannot

States Judge Lovett
VVASH'INGTON. D: (‘.. Aux.
Private operation of railroads cannot
be restored at existing rates. Robert
S. Lovott, president of the l‘nlon Pa-
cific Railroad. yesterday told the
House Interstate Commerce commit-
tee during a discussion in which he
a.
. contended the railroad problem “is
‘ solely a question of railroad credit."
“if the railroads were turned back
to their owners today under existing
conditions." declared Judge Lovett,
“it is not too much to say that halt‘ of
the roads would go into bankruptcy:
and the dividend paying roads would
have to reduce their dividend pay-
monks."
Vi'age increases without proportion-
ate increase of rates would be disas—
trous, Judge Lovell asserted, adding,
"It is utterly impossible to consider
the private owners taking over the
trailroads and operating them at the
. present rates.”
of the
M’itness,
Howard Elliott. president
Northern Pacific. another
lurged early adoption of a national
ttrancportntion policy. declaring delay
only tended to make "all classes un-
certain and unsettled." In adoption
of the transportation policy he thought
Congress should observe four princi-
ples. as follows:
Government regulatory machiney to
encourage the present transportation
system so that rates will pay allcosts.
including new capital needed for ex-
pansion of facilities: abandonment ot'
present method of adjusting wage and
working disputes. with substitution of
"a sane method of deciding these ques-
tions." including abolishment d
strikes: modification of the Sherman
law to permit consolidations and mak~
ing of Federal authority supreme in
regulating rates. securities and ac-
counts
Railroads should have the right to'
initiate rates. Mr. Elliott argued, add-
ing that. the Interstate Commerce
Commission should have the right of
suspension and review.
Both Judge Lovett and Mr. Elliott
urged the adoption of the reorganiza-
tion plan of the Association of Bali-
