The American railroads are more than one-thir- d 'of the railways of the world. The traffic hauled on the rail-ways of the United States Is now three times as great as It was twenty years ago. In four months now the railroads carry as much freight and as many passengers as they did then In a year. Id the three months alone of the har-dest movement In 1919 the traffic equal-ed that of the whole year of 1898. In 1898 freight ton miles carried by the railroads of the country were more than 100,000,000,000 a year. In 1910 they were more than 250,000,000,000, in 1913 more than 300,000,000,000 and In 1918 more than 400,000,000,000. Al-though the railway mileage Increased only about 65 per cent since 1890, Im-provements In tracks, terminals, equip-ment, etc., have been so marked that the volume of goods carried (measured In the number of freight tons carried one mile) Increased more than five times from 1890 to 1917. . Increased Efficiency. Taking account of both freight and passenger service, the railroads In 1900 hauled 186,000 traffic units (freight tons carried one mile, plus passengers carried one mile) for each railway em-ployee. By 1917, the last year of pri-vate operation of the railroads prior to the entry of the United States Into the war, that 186,000 had been Increased to 296,000. The following table shows the In-crease In efficiency of American rail-roads since 1900, which enabled the railroads to keep pace with the growth of the country : Ton miles Increased 190 Passenget miles Increased.. 170 Trackage Increased 56 Cars and engine Increased.. 75 Workers Increased 85 Output per worker Increased 60 Average train load Increased 130 These figures show that the traffic hauled by the railroads of the country baa increased more than three times as fast as the trackage, more than twice as fast as the equipment and more than twice as fast as the number of workers. This has been made pos-sible by Investment of new capital to Increase the efficiency of the transportation facilities and thereby enable the railroads to Increase the amount of traffic handled and reduce the amount of labor required to handle it. DEFERRED WORK ADDS TO RAILROADS' TASK Large Capital Expenditures Re-quired, Says Hines Impos-sible to Do All Now. In order to keep pace with the growth of business and production In this country and the demand for In-creased transportation facilities an enormous amount of railroad worlt must be done In the next few years which will require the Investment of billions of dollars of new money. This Is essential not only to maintain the railways at their normal high standard of service and efficiency, but also to make up for ordinary expansion and Improvement needs on existing linen which were interrupted by the war and to a large extent deferred alto-gether. Railroad managers realize that even If the necessary new capital was avail-able It would be practically a physical Impossibility for the railroads to ac-complish any large part of this de-layed and accumulated work during the present year. Consequently the most vital needs of the railroads will receive first consideration In the plans for the Immediate future so that the public demands in the months of heavi-- ' est traffic may be served as efficiently as possible. Vast Amount of Work to Be Done. Walker D. Hines, Director General of Railroads under government con-trol, emphasized this task facing the railroads after their return to private operation In a letter to Senator Albert B. Cummins, chairman of Senate Inter-state Commerce Committee, and Rep-resentative John J. Esch, chairman of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. Mr. Hines pre sented this phase of the railroad prob-lem to them In urging the necessity for pressing the railroad legislation and to point out that delay would "se-riously Impair the public service by virtually suspending Improvements and the acquisition of equipment" "In order to keep abreast of the growth of business In this country," wrote Mr. Hines, "It Is Indispensable that railroads should continue to spend large sums in the acquisition of new equipment, the enlargement and unifica-tion of terminals and the construction of additional and the enlargement of existing shops, engine houses, turn-tables, etc., and In the carrying for-ward of normal programs for the revi-sion of grades, construction of addi-tional main line tracks, longer and more numerous passing tracks, etc. "A vast amount of work now re-mains to be done," he added, "which the Intervention of the war has neces-sarily delayed and accumulated, and the result Is that during the year 1920 very large capital expenditures ought to be made to make up for the Inter-ruptions Inevitably due to the war and to prepare the railroads to serve ade-quately the Increased traffio throughout the country. "In the year or two prior to the be-ginning of federal control this work was largely arrested by the difficulties of securing materials and labor and also by the difficulty of securing new capital. During the year 1918 this work was largely restricted to things which could be promptly done and which would have a relation to win-ning the war and also restricted by the scarcity of materials. The result was that comprehensive programs for developing the railroads were lurgely Interrupted. "During the calendar year 1919 there has been unavoidably an almost com-plete stoppage of all these matters be-cause of the prospect of early termina-tion of federal control and the result-ing Indisposition on the part of Con-gress to make appropriations." Urge Adequate Rates. In a resolution adopted by the Asso-ciation of Life Insurance Presidents the heads of the country's large Insur-ance companies express their attitude toward the railroad situation as fol-lows : "Rehabilitation of the railroads and establishment by law of rates adequate to provide for the present and future demands of our growing commerce and to stabilize the credit and securities of the roads." Clothes. Sir Walter Scott tells as In "Ivan-hoe,- " "men wore one thickness of clothes, whether of wool, leather or velvet The shirt was Invented, but for a long time was worn only by the nobility and gentry. Then followed the waistcoats, breeches, and then the trousers. The overcoat, which suc-ceeded the medieval coatcloak, was rare until the seventeenth century. The dates are not known." American Weights Wrong. The United States bureau of stand-ards reports that many of the weights submitted by American makers for test have been unsatisfactory. This hag .caused such great delay and In-convenience that 'one of the largest dealers is already considering the ad-visability of importing at least those weights which are to be certified by the bureau. Apparently the trouble is mainly due to insufficient factory In-spection. , Protection for Public The executive council of the Natlon- - al Association of Credit Men in a pub-lic statement on the credit situation of the country says : "The council In its consideration of the transfer of the railways to private control felt that It Is of the highest Im-portance that the railways be protect-ed from the dangers of receivership and the public assured agulust unin-terrupted itervka." Intolerance Always Error. Tew men ars really mean, but many are Intolerant and lacking In forbear-ance toward others, forgetting that the temporary decisions of men are all subject to revision according to tot stern law of compensation. . The Four Flush. "A fonr flush," says Cactus Joe, "Is entitled to a certain amount of respect as somethln' to build on. It's mostly objectionable because of efforts to Im-prove it from the bottom of the pack." |
