McAdoo denies rail contentions in new wartime contract
Director General McAdoo released terms of a standard government railroad contract after lengthy talks with company representatives. He said most contentions raised by the Association of Railway Security Holders are denied, including court rights after the war and appeals from ICC decisions. He argued private control would have caused large losses in early 1919 and cited fixed net income under federal management and government borrowing as stabilizing factors. McAdoo dismissed the association’s objections as unreasonable and not representative of railroads.
