1 I I Further Control Of Railway Lines Urged by Lauck Economist for Unions Suggests Ways for Extending Trans portation 'in Speech to Woman's, Trade League. New York, April 22. Further ex- n.i-n nf nuliiic control and su- . pcrvision of railroads was advocated in an address by W."' Jett Lauck, economist . for the railroad unions, rm-,A nnK nf liis associates at the of the Woman's Trade Union league. T He contended that requiring the roads to "serve commerce and indus try effectively" rather tlfen the "in dividual intcrests-of a small group of financiers and investment bankers, would develop the "full possibilities of the industry in the public inter est." ' , He suggested that the transporta tion be extended .with the following objects in view: - . To subordinate existing financing eontrol.of the railroads to the public interest by placing the transporta tion industry -on a. cost-of-service basis, s ' ' . " ' - To obtain long term credits for the railroads under . governmental auspices. tr ' . . To create machinery for supervi sion, in the public interest of railway expenditures . and operating, and financial1 performance. To work out unification of rail road properties so that the maximum results in economy and efficiency of operation may be attained. , "The fundamental necessities of the railroad situation," he said, "are the necessity of maintaining the sol vency of the transportation industry and at the same time, reducing and readjusting freight rates to stimulate a revival of traffic and .business ac tivity, will not .be -met, by a reduc tion in the wages."
