"Federal supervision of the railroads would bo welcomed. An orderly move ment of freight according to some widely controlling plan Is needed. 'With the Government as a partner, railroad man agers would probably be less harassed hy restrictions which leave too little time for bare traffic problems. If pos sible, rail shipments are worse, although January was a large month for ship ments for a leading Interest In tho middle West. "No cessation In foreign demand la noted. Hall commitments have now en tered the third quarter of lfllS and 57, 000 tons have been closed for that de livery. So less than 1SO.O00 tons of heavy rails and 20,000 tons of medium sections arc wanted by France, while England will take 73,000 tons." Tho Iron Trade Review says: "Iron and steel makers havo hastened to assure the Federal authorities that their wishes, whatever they may entail, will be met promptly. At the moment there Is no clear prospect of the Imme diate effect of tho week's developments upon the large export movement In iron and steel. .Shipping, already backward, has been retarded further. "Confidence Is felt, however, that methods have been or will bo devised by the Entente Powers within ,a reasonable period to keep unchecked appreciably tho steady flow to Europe of finished muni tions, bhcll steel and forglngs and other all essential military products of the American works."
