Cummins Urges Rail Consolidation to Save Federal Control
Sen. Albert B. Cummins told the Sioux City Traffic Club that U S railroads must consolidate into a few systems under government supervision to meet growing commerce while avoiding government ownership. He outlined five objections to public ownership and warned that without consolidation government control would lead to a single system and disaster for the people. He argued that private ownership can endure only if consolidation keeps railways in efficient operation and ensures fair returns.
