Steam Versus Electricity.

The steam railroads vary greatly in
their attitude toward electric competi-
ton. but it has been almost the uni
form experience of railroad managers,
east and west, that rate cuts to meet
electric competition are quite futile
Electric transportation handles traffic
in small units. The power house is the
locomotive, and it can haul ten single
cars as easily as it can a train of ten
cars coupled together-more easily, in
fact But in steam service, to reverse
the figure Of speech, each transporta-
ton unit must have its own power
house. Disregarding technical refine
ments, it may be said that it would
cost steam railroad five times as
much to run an hourly single car train
during a fifteen hour day as it would
TO run three fve-car trains. That is the
primary reason on the side of absolute
cost which makes it impossible for
steam road to compete with an electric
road for light short haul traffic.-Ray
Norris in Atlantic.
