WALL STREET APPROVES ; GOVERNMENT'S PLAN 1 o c. I Sw?ep:r,g Advance in Securities Mar- \ ket Follows Announcement. C New York.?Wall Street exressed i unqualified indorsement 'of president Wilson's plan for the government to run the railroads by a sweeping ad- t vance in the securities market. The upturn was one of the most sensa- s tional in years. The assurances of I net earnings and of the maintenance t of railroad properties were the factors a of the government program which t | pleased investors s,nd dealers in ] 'stocks and bonds. . | The pessimism over the railroad j outlook gave way to enthusiasm when the rather unexpected news from ! Washington was read. Orders to buy , poured into broker's offices from all over the country, and the market was primed for a big advance long before ! it opened. j Railroad shares, esptciallv those, i under greatest depression in the wide spread decline of recent months ,re corded extreme gains of 5 to ten At-- fJ-mm 19 t points m cne rejji cacnuou?o 6iuuj/, to 18 points in the less active divi ! dend issues and 3 to 13 points in nu merons non-dividend stocks. The bond market for rails kept pace | with the movement on stocks, various : underlying or junior issues advancing 3 to 8 1-2 points. i Industrials and the many related ' stocks which figure in daily market dealings were ignored in the first up swing of prices, but were taken up vigorously later on the theory that every line of trade will be stimulated by the upbuilding of the railroads. MISPLACING OF CASS : ^ | CAUSE COAL SHORTAGE i l ! i Washington. ? President Wilson's decision to take over the railroads will ^ keep the senate coal inquiry within narrower limits than originally plan ned. Members of the manufacturer's * committee, investigating both coal r and sugar, are disinclined to go into i the transportation difficulties, now j that they believe improvement is in sight, and in the hearing touched only C casually upon the lack of railroad fa- t cflities blamed for coal shortage. BROTHERHOOD'S BEHIND GOVERNMENT'S PLANS Washington.?Heads of the four railroad brotherhoods conferred with President Wilson, discussing in de tail the part the employes will play cftvorTirnpnt tp fni 1st inns A. B. Garretson, of the conductors, said af terward that wage increases were not mentioned.

Washington.?r.-"-* -losses ion and operatio : ; ' u n. ' is rail oads for the war *as proclaimed by 'resident Wilson and became eftect ve at noon Friday. December 28. Wil iam G. McAdoo, retaining his place n the cabinet as secretary of the ] reasury, is plac d in charge as direc or general of railroads. Every railroad engaged in general ransportation, with ite appurtenances ticluding steamship lines, i3 taken ver and all systems will be operated c s one under the director general. In a statement accompanying his n roclamation, the president announc- j, d that as soon as congress reassem- -u iles he will recommend legislation ;uaranteeing pre-war earnings ana ^ aaintenance of railroad property in ood repair. Government backing will be given o new issues of railroad securities ^ hat a ready market may be' found. Great Surprise. The president's move, although orecast for weeks, came at this time ^ ,s a great surprise to nearly every- n ;ody in Washington, including rail- A oau officials. It had been generally telieved that he would await the re ssembling of congress before taking ir.y step. He acted through Secre- ^ ary of War Baker, under authority onferred in the army appropriation 1 ,ct. Management of the roads will re aain in the hands of railroad officials md the railroads' war board, com prised of five railroad heads, will con inue to direct actual operation under >ecretary McAdoo's general supervi ion. The chief practical effect of govern nent operation will be to permit a omplete unification of all rail svs ems, impossible under private opera ion by reason of statutes prohibiting >ooling of rail traffic and earnings, ."he reads themselves had gone as far s they diired in this direction, and it >ecame known only that they had >een warned by Attorney Genera] Jreeory that a violation of anti-pool ng laws could not be permitted. Interurbans Exceptd. Although the proclamation applies o all electric lines engaged in gen eral transportation, local interurban ystems are specifically exempted. Congress will be asked to guaran ee earnings equivalent to the aver ige net operating income for the hree-year period ending June 30, m7.1 lailroad experts estimate that this rill cost the government next year j. n the neighborhood of $100,000,000, ij vhich can be raised in large part by!e ncreased freights, if the interstate P sommerce commission grants the i oads' application for the 15 per cent. 1 ate increase now pending. Otherwise t I will be paid largely out of the gen-; t iral government funds. I 0 The interstate commerce commis-! sion and other government agencies! ^ vhich have to do with the railroads vill continue to perform their func-i Ions as heretofore, except that they i( vill be subject to orders of the direc-1 0 or of railroads. I * Railroads Not Blamed. iC The president makes it clear that! a lis decision was not made because of e my failure on tne pan 01 me ran oads to perform their whole luty in so far as they could while hampered is they were by legal restrictions. The plan of control as outlined in :he proclamation and statemeat leaves much unsaid as to details, but | :he general scheme appears to follow losely the British system. fICE-ADM IRAL WEMYSS BECOMES FIRST SEA LORD London.?Vice-Admiral Sir Rosalyn IVemyss har been appointed first sea ord in succession to Admiral Sir John j I.
