Railroads and private management debated amid federal control
Mr Hines warned the old system failed and urged Congress to fix a general rate standard to ensure earnings exceed a reasonable return. He stressed shared management among capital, labor, and public, favoring early three-way participation to avoid past ad hoc control. Elmes noted the difficult postwar credit climate and the need to balance higher rates with public protection. The director general defended federal control, arguing deficits stemmed from prices lagging commodity costs and cited potential $494 million extra revenue if June 1918 rate increases had been in effect January 1, 1918.
