Government Control of Railroads in Federal Plan
Washington outlines a federal central control program for railways with four main features. Outstanding securities must be accepted as valid, railroads may make private agreements but public interest remains protected, long term tariff schedules will be favored for shipper certainty, and centralization under federal supervision aims to prevent state exactions. Strong support from the President, cabinet, Interstate Commerce Commission, and railroad leaders backs the plan.

Despite sharp losses, officials note no railroad, mine, bank, or other major property default and many view the situation as a shift enabling cheaper labor and money. E. H.
