RAILROAD ISSUE IS BECOMING ACUTE Senator Cummins WVAnts Investiga tion-Anticinates Strikes-Joint Author of Measure Would (et at Root of Present. Trouble. Washington, March 12.-Senator Cummins of Iowa, joint author of the Cummins-Elseh railroad act, declares his intention of asking congress for authority to conduct, with the as sistance of the commerce comnmittee of the senate, a thorough investiga tion into the railroad situation. Ile will act on the first (lay of the extraordinary session. By that time, judging by the clerity with which developments are rushing to a head, the inevitable "blow-off" will have arrived. Congress and the adminis tration at this (late realize that something must be (lone to save either the railroads of the country from general bankruptcy, or the com merce of the country which on ac count of exorbitant freight traflie, can not move with essential smooth ness. The announcement of the Pennsyl vania railroad that it will reduce the wages of its employees will be fol lowed by similar announcemenfq by all other railroads. It is undoubted ly true that the employees will not suffer such reduction without violent protest. It. would cause little sur prise were numerous strikes to be developed. At any rate, there is no question but that the situation is seri ous, and that in its present status, it can not much longer endure.

Because of general ignorance, Senator Cummins regards it as absolutely essential that . an investigation be had. The interstate commerce commission is authority I for the statement that the condition j of railroads grows more distressing ionith by month, and that no reduc- I tion in rates could justly be order- j ed; and that freight and passenger traflic correspondingly decreases. It I is reported to Washington each day | from each section of the country that producers can not reap) even i modest profit when cost of transportation is j unbearable. The Cummins-Esch act was pur posely malde exceedingly liberal and I generous to the railroads in order that they might have an opportunity to get on their feet. It is held by I Senator Cummins and other influen tial members of congress that if under that act the railroads can't I give good service at fair rates, some thing is radically wrong. It is for the purpose of ascertaining what is wrong that Senator Cummins will asks for the investigation. The consuming and shipping pub lic represent to Washington that they G. C.
