Uncertain Future of American Railroads Sees Federal Control Likely

York Dec 27 The annual report of the gubernative committee of the Rails business Association warns that unless rail rates are adjusted to align with federal control, total revenues will not cover total expenses. It argues government takeover is probable under present law and urges rates be just and reasonable with legitimate purposes. The report notes only 955 miles of road were built in 1915 and predicts 1916 will barely exceed that, despite higher industrial activity and earnings. It condemns eight hour shifts and calls for statutory jurisdiction to ensure public interest in railway regulation.
