REORGANIZATION BILL ATTACKED

BY PETTINGILL,

Enactment Would Result in ‘Legislative Nightmare,’ Hoosier Says.

Times Special ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13.—Rep. Samuel B. Pettengill (D. Ind.) urged defeat of the Government Reorganization Bill awaiting Congress’ action in an address here last night before the annual meeting of the Associated Traffic Clubs of America. The bill would put the Interstate Commerce Commission under the control of the Cabinet, resulting in nationalized transportation, Rep. Pettengill said. He termed it a “legisiative nightmare.”

“Under Government control na-|

tionalization would be inevitable,” Rep. Pettengill asserted. “The carriers would be subjected to financial starvation and the Government would be the only buyer at the sheriff's sale.” Indorses Railways’ Stand He indorsed the position of the National Transportation Committee that “economic competition must decide the question of survival between the railroads and their competitors.” “The last stand against state socialism will be made by the railroads,” Rep. Pettengill said. “I do not favor the railroads over any other form of transportation but mention them only because they are nearest the gun. “Competition for the nation’s carrier business should be limited to the economic field and should not be carried on in legislative halls. Insist that your competitor be given no legislative advantage and demand none for yourself. “What I fear more than the Socialist or Communist is the American businessman completely discrediting the whole system of free enterprise by rushing to Washington to put legislative shackles on his competitor and creating a law-made monopoly for himself.”
