THE BEE : OMAHA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1919. V REGULATIONS BY GOVERNMENT IS CUYLER'S PLAN Chairman of Railway Execu . lives Offers Outline of Pro posal for Private Own ership of Roads. Washington, Jan. 9. A com prehensive program for private ownership and management of rail roads under strict government reg ulation was laid before the senate . interstate commerce committee to day by T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Ex ecutives, representing practically all leading roads in the United States. The plan includes pro vision for merging systems, a large measure of unification of operation, pooling of facilities and, in certain cases of earnings, and in enforce ment of adequate service under su pervision of a secretary of trans portation, a new cabinet office with the Interstate Commerce commis sion acting as a supreme court of review of rite disputes Wage Adjustment Board. Wage and employment disputes which could not be settled between employes and managements would be referred to an adjustment board within the department- of transpor tation under the plan, and strikes and lockouts forbidden pending in vestigation. "The power of regulation, in cluding all rates, state and inter state should be exclusively in the ..hands of the national government. State commissions should not be interfered with by the federal act except so far as necessary as to carry out the purposes herein men tioned. "No new or branch lines of rail road or"T3rge and expensive ter minals should be constructed unless ,a certificate of public convenience and necessity is first obtained from the secretary of transportation. . "The carriers should have povr to initiate rates, schedules of which should be filed with the Interstate Commerce commission, with the secretary of transportation and with the state commissions in which the rates are applicable." vii mbnuyu ntu. , Railroad executives have pledged Director General McAdoo their co operation and have urged him not to relinquish federal control until congress has had,, opportunity to legislate, Mr. Cuyler declared.

' "My son is very hard on shoes, so keeping him properly shod has been quite an expense to me," writes Mr. J. , Allison Allen, of Amity, Arkansas. "But since I started to buy Neolin soled shoes for him I have found that it costs uniy auvui a iiiuu as mucn 10 - keep him in shoes. r ! 1 ! This is because Neolin Soles are so tough and durable that they wear a very long time. , Shoe bills are kept down because you don't need so many pairs. . You can get Neolin-soled shoes at almost any good shoe store. They come in all styles and for all members of the family. Ne6lin Soles are also available everywhere for re-soling. , They are produced by a scientific pro cess to be what soles ought to be: com fortable, waterproof and long-wearing.

S, OPERATIONS TO HELP RUSSIA, SAYS HITCHCOCK Senator States That American Troops Are in Disordered Land on a Friendly Mission. Washington, Jan. 9. American and allied operations in Russia are friendly and not hostile to the Rus sian people, although in opposition to German-bolshevik forces. Chair man Hitchcock of the senate for eign relations committee, said in an address today, replying to the re cent demand of Senator Johnson of California, for an officiajstatement of the American policy in Russia. "There is no Russia," he declared. "What was Russia is a vast disor ganized aggregation of local govern ments." Senator Hitchcock prepared his address after consulting with Acting Secretary Polk at the State depart ment. After pdinting out that seizure of the ports of Vladivostok, Murmansk and Archangel was pro posed by the supreme war council to prevent Germany from obtaining valuable stores, he said: "In each case it was done as a measure of war against Germany and not against Russia. In each case the local Russian government exists and functions with the Amer ican and allied soldiers. N Disorganized Aggregation- "There is no Russia. What was Russia is a vast disorganized aggre gation of local governments. Lenine and Tro.tzky have the great cities of Petrograd, Moscow and some others, and thus have the center of the wrecked nation, but it is the most unhappy, most lawless, brutal and most bloody. Other parts of Russia are comparatively calm and orderly. "We sent about 10,000 men to Vladivostok, the Pacific port, and about 5,000 to Archangel, the Arctic port in European Russia, and Mur mansk, the port which leads to the Murnam coast."
