Washington, Dec. ;M,-?President >Vil? son i (?ii in lit issued proclamation* return* iug the railroads Ami express companies to private control March 1. Failure of Congress to enact remedial legislation was given as the re a sou for extending by two mouths the time origi nally nnuouuced for relinquishing govern^ rneut control of railroad properties. In his message to Congees last May Prea'i dent WUaon said that the roads would be turned back at the end of the calen der year. "No agreement having yet beeu reach' ed by Congress," Secretary Tumulty said tn announcing the piwftnnftttoix "it tw? cornea necessary in the public interest to allow a reasonable time to elapse be tween the issuing of the proclamatloa aud the date ?f its actually taking effect. The President Is adviwed that the rfcil road and express companies are not or ganised to make It possible for theai to receive and manage their properties If actually turned over to them on Decem ber 81." The Esch-Cummius bill, designed to meet conditions iucident to the rctura '/of the roads, now is in conference. Inasmuch us the staffs of the various systems have-been retained virtually in tact by the railroad administration, 'the return of the railroads to private con trol will involve legal and (inaucia! rath er than operating questions. Those de' purtments of the i'aiiroad administration will remain in existence with increased j>ersonnel for months after the operat ing nflieerx have left the government sor vice.
