"Tell what went on,' she was ord- erea. l "A good servant says nothing,, she answered, and a ripple 'of laughter went over the crowded court room. . Not until she was put under a se- vere grilling did the servant tell more of the details of the Vert Logls. Her son Alexandre visited the Steinheii house twice, she declared. ' Mme.

Deplores Possibility of Another Reaction Against tbe Railroads Would be Step Toward Govern ment Ownership. ' . (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Nov. I 10 -Urging co operation with the government att thorities, state and federal; with a view to preventing anti-railroad leg islation, the executive committee of the Railway Business Mens' Associa tion today presented its report to the association at its second annual meet ing here. The report urges perma nent organization for protection add declares that a fight should be made for laws just to the railroads and the public. Nothing is td "be derived from a policy of obstruction by the " roads, it declares; "there will be com- . missions- whetfceHfce raiiroaiijrlike-it""" or not." ':, It adds, "many thoughtful obsem ' ers look forward. with grave appre- v( hension td another reaction of publio ; ieling gainst the railroads." The association is composed prin cipally of interests , connected , wita the making of railroad supplies. It was left to the committee whn formed to frame a policy and this tha committee in its Report says was dona with the one distinct understanding that in view of the members of the organization beiag composed of men of different political opinions no ac tion should be taken In matters ot public policy, "except such as would tend to promote wisdom In railroad legislation." The committee main tained complete Independence of rail road officials, hoping that when that was understood the organization "would command public attention and approval as we might not ba abde to do if we were believed to be merely echoing the Voice of the rail-' roads." Continuing the report says: "Our hope was that through this peculiar relation we could place our selves in the position of a conciliator between the public and the rail roads." . The committee refers to the pos--sible action by congress at its coming session in a revision of the laws reg ulating interstate commerce, and be lieves it a subject in which the asso ciation should interest Itself, saying: "Should the new legislation (it any), however, be framed in the full knowledge and with the absence ot retaliatory animus, a policy of regu lation may be established acceptable alike to the public and the railroads and reasonably certain to assure equable treatment for all and ade quate development of facilities. "It is our settled conviction that no real benefit can come from a gen eral program of obstruction to regu lation. Regulation has come to stay. i.,ne will be commissions whether railroads like it or not." The report further urges co-opera iion, saying: "Friendly proffers of conference In August are worth a great deal more than public attacks in March when the bill is in its final stages." The report, discussing the possi bility of another reaction of public feeling against the railroads, . says the least evil which could attend such, s a reaction would be renewed efforts -to have the government more and more absorb purely managerial -functions. Such a step the report calls "a dangerous stride toward government ownership." , "If public sentiment is thoroughly educated such a step will never be ad --. vocated," It declares. In conclusion, urging a permanent : organization, the report sayet' 'r- If tbe return - oC Brosperlty and. the present recession ot hostility . -.. against, the railroads-. should foster v heedlessness- and! result tn a lapsd ' ' into practices' open' to Just criticism, .A 1 this will furnish material for a new, ,.
