Postmaster cabells Invoking Aid
'''ss Of Busine Organi-
sZatIOnS.'

Postmaster Royal, r. Cabell has sent
out letters to the Chamber Of Commerce,
the Retail Merchants Association and
the Richmond clearinghouse Associa-
ton, asking their cooperation In the
matter OF securing better train conncc-
tons for handling mail north and south
of Richmond.
The idea is to induce the Richmond.
Frederlcksbprg and Potomac and the
Atlantic Coast Line, II possible. to nut
on trains which will be made IN at
Washington and Richmond to insure the
prompt movement OF Northern and
Southern mails when the regular trains
are delayed. 1t Is pointed out that it
happens nearly every day that Northern
and Southern mail trains are late. and
this results in a great disturbance OF
the Important mail between New York
and Richmond and points both north
and south OF here.
It Is fact which is not very gener-
ally known that in the matter Of mail
service the railroad authorities consider
Richmond In the light OF way-station.
and It Is regarded only, as "a connecting
link Abetween the North and South.
Those in authority say that Norfolk and
other towns In the State are far ahead
of Richmond on Northern mali connec-
lions.
II the interests referred to work in
harmony, 1t is believed that the rail-
roads will yield, and will put on moro
trains. I'll

remedies already outlined. Elabora,
ting upon them, he says:
This is the real railroad problem
of the United States, and it is one
which the people have been singularly
slow to perceive and reluctant to re-
alize.
Two Remedies Needed.
1.-TWO remedies must be found. The
prohibitory expenses now attached to
enlargement of terminals at many
points, and the absolute lack of avail
able space at any price, may be met
by decentralization of traffic. There
must be more points for export, more
interior markets. \ 15-foot canal or
channel from St. Louis to New Orleans
would go further to relieve the entire
middle west and southwest than any
other work that could be undertaken.
With such a depth of water single
powerful towboat would carry from 80
to 40 train loads.
Terminal troubles admit of more
general diffusion of business, permit
ting transfers to take place and for
warding TO be done where land can be
secured in adequate quantities and at
more reasonable prices To this the
traffic system of the country must be
adjusted. The heavy transfers must be
made away from the larger cities.
Investors Frightened Away.
1T is not by accident that railroad
building has declined to its lowest
within a generation. at the time when
all other forms of activity have been
growing most rapidly. The investor
declines to put his money into enter
prises under ban of unpOpularity and
even threatened by individuals and po-
litical parties with confiscation or
transfer to the state. This feeling
must be removed and greater conf.
dence be mutually established if any
portion of the vast sum
is to be available for the
work"
