It Is my understanding that numerous groups In the country are organizing for a bitter fight It Is well known, of course, that the railroads themselves have reorganized their associations Into one solid and substantial agency which Is to act as their spokesman. Indications are that out of the movement by the railroad managements will come a trade body to be known as the American Railway Institute, which will serve as the spokesman Plans call for all of the railroads. for establishment of headquarters In Washington where the group will be In close contact at all times with the shifting trends of governmental maneuvers respecting the railroads. New York, February 20, 1SG9. Avenue, Corner Eighteenth St. Hon. Andrew II. Green, Comptroller of the Central Park. My dear sir: I have the pleasure through you to present to the Central park commissioners the colossal statue of "Columbus, the work of our gifted countrywoman, Emma Stebbins. Columbus Is represented as standing upon the deck of a ship alone and at midnight, just before the land of the Western continent burst upon hls view. Hls mutinous crew have all deserted him and are feasting below, while he the Intrepid discoverer, with a firm grasp upon the rudder-poslooks eagerly, anxiously forward, piercing the darkness with hls eye of faith, and with earnest prayers to heaven for success, waits for the dawning of day that day which, coming at last, brings with It victory and repose. This statue Is truly grand In Its conception nnd beautiful In Its execution worthy, Indeed, to occupy a prominent place In our Central park. It will add one more attraction to that charming spot, which the commissioners and yourself have done so much to adorn for the pleasure and delight of the t, people. The statue and pedestal are both at the Academy of Design, subject to your order as soon as a suitable glass house has been provided to protect the marble from the weather. With the hope that the commissioners will be able to provide this during the present season and receive the proffered gift, I remain. Tour obedient servant, MARSHALL O. ROBERTS. bj Vntiti Nmpvn Uni.a. Coupled with the certainty that there will be railroad legislation considered by the Federal forthcoming sion of cangress Is a strong renewal of activity among advocates of government ownership. In previous letters I have reported ownership advocates In and out of the administration were said to be working on plans for legislation designed eventually to result In federal ownership of the transportation systems. How far this has gone canIt can be said not now be stated. definitely, however, that the movement Is gaining force and observers well acquainted with the undercurrent of government plans Insist that the railroads have a battle on their hands that is larger than the Immediate prospect of additional restrictive legislation. In some quarters In Washington we hear the expression that the administration plans to seek enactment of regulation for the bus lines and other carriers that are In comThis petition with the railroads. has been tried several times before, but nothing has come of It because congress heretofore has refused to be serious about legislation for control of the bus lines operating over state and national highways. It Is to be recalled, though, that congress heretofore has not been so subservient to the Chief Executive as has been the ease since the New Deal became operative a year and a half ago. So the extent to which the administration will or can go respecting control of the bus lines seems at this writing to be highly problematical. Authorities tell me, however, that the Eastman plan, which must be assumed to have Presidential approval, will be comprehensive and of itself, should give an Indication of the severity of the fight that Is to come.
