Railroads to Get Half a Billion in U S Advances

The plan aims to revive buying power, rehabilitate the lines, and curb unemployment by funding railroad improvements. The roads would issue notes to the government at 6 percent interest, and government and railroad claims arising from wartime control would be offset. Additional appropriations may be requested. substantial railroad securities already in government hands would increase to nearly one billion dollars. The administration believes restoring railroads could unlock broader industry, as railroads employ about 70 percent of U S labor and drive purchases.
