PLAN TO RESUME
RAILWAY INQUIRY
AFTER MARCH 4TH

of Congressional Business.

Shippers, Investors and Representatives

Washington, Deo. IS.?The Congressional
Joint Conunltt.ee on interstate
Commerce, which has been conducting
the inquiry into government regulation
and control of transportation, Inst
week decided to suspend Its hearings
on the subject and adjourned, subject
to the call of the chairman, because of
the pressure of other work before Con
press. According to the resolution creating
the committee, it is required to
submit a report by .January Kth next.
It is understood that hero re that time
the committee will ask for an exten
sion of time and that the hearings will
he resumed at a later date, when some
of those who already have appeared
before the committee will he questioned
further and a great many others
will he heard. It is probable, however,
that the hearings will not be resumed
until after adjournment of Congress
on March 4th. In addition to regular
routine business tbo commerce committees
of the two houses are charged
with the important duty of preparing
and presenting the legislation asked
for bv President Wilson to make tin
possible a railroad strike without previous
investigation. This will leave
little or no time for the consideration
of the general questions of railway

Country Wants Something Done.
Members of Congress and others
who are interested In the Inquiry undertaken
by the Newlands Committee
insist that there is no intention of
abandoning it.
It seeins doubtful, indeed, if the
country would permit the matter to
be dropped if there were evidence of a
desire on the ptirf of Congress to do
so. The net!nn-?:, evidences of interest
evoked by the initiation of the
Newlands Inquiry show that the people
of the country?shippers, consumers
and investors, as well as railway
men themselves?are alive to the fact
that, the railway situation is highly unsatisfactory
and that steps must be
taken without unnecessary delay to
make it possible for the railroads to
meet the growing needs of the nation.
From reports received here it seems
ad though almost every commercial organization
and business interest in the
country were engaged in studying the
railroad question. The Chamber of
Commerce of the United States has
been conducting an elaborate inquiry
into various phases of the subject for
many months past. Many local and
state commercial bodies in every part
of the country have committees engaged
in study of the problem and
have indicated a desrre to come here
and present their views. National organizations
of manufacturers, lumbermen,
coal operators, wholesale and retail
dealers, have expressed through
resolutions their desire for the unities- I
tion of the system of railway regula-1!
tion. TiiO National Industrial Truffle 11
league. speaking from (he viewpoint j!
of shi[i|ierft using the railways, has'
indorsed exclusive federal regulation
providing it is accomplished in such a
way ah to give full protect'on and
prompt adjustment In matters relating
to transportation within the states.
Many Interests Studying Problem.
All these organizations represent primarily
the shippers of the country, but
they are not the only ones who are'
taking a hand in the discussion. The j
investors of the nation, through their
own associations and through commit-,
tees representing the savings banks and
other financial organizations, are pre !
paring to show the necessity of improv-1
ing railroad credit and protecting the
rights of those whose inone^ is invested
in railway securities. Finally the
railroads themselves, being vitally con
cerned in the improvement of existing '
conditions, are planning to submit their
views through their executives, operating
officials and traffic experts and
to assert their willingness to accept, t'arreachtng
federal regulation along linos
that will enable them to attract capital
and to provide the facilities needed for
the prompt and efficient handling of
the country's transportation business.
Main Trouble Is Too Many Masters. '
Not all of those interests are in aectitd
as to the remedies that should be
adopted. There seems to he a general

Switzerland in a note to all of the
warring powers has announced its
support of President Wilson's appeal
for a discussion of peace terms.
The president and Mrs. Wilson attended
a community Christmas eve
celebration.
The third "war Christmas" of the
twentieth century for the nations of
Europe finds more talk of peace.
Official reports to the state department
last week from the border
and Mexican interior points said Vil
la bandits occupied Torreon.
Concerning unofficial reports that
one of the Teutonic proposals is a
return to the status quo before the
war, except as to creation of Polish
and Lithuanian kingdoms, it is said
that this apparently is impossible
from the British viewpoint, as it
would not provide any compensation
to Belgium.
Russian troops have captured a
line of Teuton trenches on heights
te the south of A ;usualia in the region
of the Trotus valley of Roumania.
Great Britain, in conjunction with
er allies., has issued a "declaration
regarding the present state of Belgium"
in which protest is made to
.he civilized world against the "slave
aids" conducted by the German auhoritios
in Belgium and a warning
riving to the world that "the work of
relief which neutrals have buiit up
? in (larger of falling."
