RAILROAD LEG ISLATION COMING By MARX LEWIS Federated Press Staff Correspondent. which may bring to a head the struggle of the magnates to obtain a valuation of the railroads almost double what ex perts say' they are worth will be in troduced by the La Follette group when congress reconvenes in Decem ber, representatives of the railroad brotherhoods announce. The idea of government ownership of railroads or the Plumb plan which the railroad brotherhoods and organ . ized labor generally have indorsed, has gained srength, it is stated here, as a result, of the recent decision handed down by the interstate commerce com mission in the case of two roads that the basis of valuation is to be repro duction cost instead of the original Washington.— Legislation TT UJTZ i id à \l * « TT v E After ^ B Every Meal ig Have a packet in your pocket for ever-ready refreshment.

Announcement by the Union Pacific railroad that it will contest the de cision of the I. C. C. fixing the final valuation of one of its subsidiaries, on the ground that the valuation should be $75,000,000 instead of $45,000,000, was taken by railroad men to mean that the owners will seek new means of delaying the valuation of the roads. Ten years have elapsed since La Fol lette succeeded in getting the valua tion act passd by congress. Addition al proceedings to contest the I. C. C. decision may mean a delay of another year or more, during which, the pub lic will be paying railroads rates based upon ' an excessive tenative valuation. The legislation which the La Fol lette group will urge in «the next con gress will provide that the intrastate commerce commission, in valueing the railroads should find the original cost, and if it cannot find them, to estimate them. Such legislation, if enacted, has the shortcoming that it may be de clared invalid by the courts, the su preme court having ruled in one case that tlie reproduction and not the or iginal cost must be used as a basis for determining value. A statement issued by railroad labor organization contains an attack made by William G. McAdoo, director gen eral of railroads during the war, on the association of railroad executives. The association of railroad execu tives has engaged in a deliberate and organized propaganda of falsification for the last three years about federal control of railroads, because it has realized that only by poisoning public opinion could it accomplish the selfish purposes it hajd in view," McAdoo de clares. "It would be interesting to know how many millions have been spent by the railroads on false propa ganda. Every dollar of this illegiti mate expenditure has been paid for by the people thru increased freight and passenger rates." .. MASONS AND K. OF C.
