COOLIDGE’S ‘NO’ ON U.S. RUNNING OF RIVER LINES Shippers Demand Increased Barge Service; Congress to Get Plea. BY C. J. LILLEY WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The next Congress will be asked by the War Department to decide just what will be done with the Inland Waterways Corporation. This was announced by Secretary of War Davis, at almost the same moment it was being made clear at the White House that President Coolidge is opposed to the Government going into the shipping business on inland waterways. The Inland Waterways Corporation was started with a capitalization of $5,000,000 to experiment in barge service on the Mississippi apd Warrior Rivers. Want More Barges Beginning with a few barges, this service has now developed to such extent that shippers all along the Mississippi and its tributaries are clamoring for more barges, so their goods may be moved. President Coolidge takes the view that Congress did not intend that experimenting in inland waterway barge service would commit the United States to a definite policy of handling inland shipping. Rather the President considered that Congress merely wanted the Government to take the initial step, that private capital might later take the industry over. Whether the time has come for private ownership and operation is one of the problems with which the next Congress will be faced. A special committee of shippers appeared before Secretary Davis and the advisory board of the Inland Waterways Corporation to urge that $53,000,000 be voted to provide more barges and shipping facilities along the Mississippi and warrior Rivers. Problem Up to Congress , Backing this request were letters from business men as well as oral testimony from the committee that the barge service is inadequate to handle the great volume of traffic that has been developed for it. Secretary Davis said that the inland waterway problem would be presented to Congress this fall in full detail. In addition the alternatives facing Congress will be enumerated, he said. The alternatives are: 1. Congress to sell the Inland Waterways Corporation, its barge lines and facilities to private interests to own and operate. 2. Leave the corporation as it is and let it struggle along with its present limited facilities. 3. To increase its capital stock to meet the demands of the shippers. 4. To adopt a policy of government development of inland waterway shipping and extend it to other navigable streams. Coolidge Against Move When Congress does take up this problem, as it undoubtedly must, it is expected that the Coolidge Administration will take a firm position for private development. Representatives of the shippers said private capital would not want to take’over the barge service as it now stands because it has not been developed sufficiently. Members of the advisory board are thought to favor continued expansion nd increased capitalization by the Government.
