MCADOO‘S BLUFF. The Republican. Publicity Associntion, | through — ix — President, | Hon. Jonathon Bourne, Jr., Head ma ter "Unless Congress immediatly ennets legislation continuing Government con trol of the railromis for & period of five yours Mr. MeAdoo has threatened to — sond | udvice by — wireless to Mr. Wilson to turn them to their private owners at onee. It is part of the Domocratic plun that the public, particularly the stock holders and employees of the roads, should throw their bunds in horror at Mr. McAdoo‘s sugestion and feverishly write their Senators and Representati in Congress to get busy on the five year legislation. The ebmotic condition in which the [the roads now are, with their immense \burdons of increased wages and tremendous equipment bills to meet, is ‘enough to strike terror to their owners ‘when they are suddenly threatened \with the withdrawal of the financial ‘support of the United States Treasury. "But let us study the aiteation, and nee if the McAdoo throlit is not a case T pure bluff. The first and immedfate result of throwing the roads back to their owners would be to sond them to the hands of the receivers. |The prime duty of the receiver is to [reduce expenses, and inasmuch as there is hardly a road in the country that would find it possible to meet the enormous drains upon it with its present | operating . income . drastic curtailments would go into effect at once. ‘The shipping and traveling pub lie would be the suffers from reduction in the number of trains, the im» possibility of collecting Judgements for damages, the prompt cessation of all improvements that may be under way, and loss of other benefits custom arily extended to their patrons | by solvent . rafiroads. . Dividends, . of course, would cease at once, and the hundreds of thousands of stockholders ilove seek a means to reek vengeance |on the individuals and political party [that hed been the cost of their loss. One of the first acts of the receivers would be to apply for a court order | reducing wages of employees to a point conforming with the ability to d Such an order would make enemies of the men affected. They would | promptly forget the raise in pay given them by the Administration, and think only of the reduction foreed upon them by the relinquishing of the roads by the Government. The officials of the {roads, upon whom would fall the tre- | mendous task of bringing order out of ‘chaos, would see to it that everyone possible was done to bring discomfit« ‘ure to the men responsible for the predicament of their propertics. In short, to throw the roads overboard at such short notice would bring such a storm of condemnation about the heads of Wilson, McAdoo, and the Democratic party that they would not bave a chance at the elections in 1920 jor for the next fifty years. | "And they know it. If there is one [thing above others to which the Administration has devoted Itself it is the attempted cultivation of popular approval of its official acts. ‘To suddenly reverse their policy in that direction, and bring down upon them a country-wide flood of indignation such as Mr. MeAdoo‘s rash act would entail, is the very thing above all others of which the Democrats will never be guilty. The leaders of that party know that the best thing for them is to let Congress work out some mort of legislation providing a means for the return of the roads with the least and — disorganization . possible, ich legislation is of Republican p it will divert attention, equally as if it came from a Demccratie hand, from the mistakes | of the Government in the operation. of the roads, and in just the proportion in which is successful in avoiding financial disturbances. | The Democrats n Congress are wise enough to reallize all that, and the McAdoo threat is but an attempt to bulldoze Congress into hasty enactment of legislation extending Federal control for five yeats longer. "But it will fail | in its | purpose. Republicans . who . will control next [Renate and House have the courage Jof their convictions, They know that [a continuation of Government control 11 add .to t * difficulty . of | utitely returning the roads to their owners. They also realize that the most carefully planned legislation is it will be one of the first efforts of the new Congress, and the country
