RAILROADS TO FIGHT;
BATTLE TO BE FIERCE

NEW YORK-Railroad and finan-
OF the severest struggles for suprem-
acy in railroad history, which is sched-
uled to begin the moment the Penn
sylvania railroad opens its new $780,
100000 terminal in the heart Of New
York city The conflict is to be be-
tween this great system. the greatest
in many respects in the world. and the
New York Central lines, which hope
to wrest the traffic supremacy from
the system which a Thompson, Cas-
satt, n McCrea and their predecessors
have made almost a household word
throughout the United States.
The New York Central management
is being groomed for the fight which
seems to be inevitable and which will
in a measure, revolutionize methods
in vogue on the Pennsylvania for a
generation. This does not mean that
the Pennsylvania methods are obso-
lete, but simply that strenuous aggres.
siveness Is to take the place of con-
servatism because conservatism can
no longer maintain the supremacy
which has been the Pennsylvania
boast for many years,
In preparation for the struggle
which both managements have realized
is coming. money has been spent with
a. hiah hac ctr tho
financial circles of every civilized
world In preparing the New York
Central to cope with the Pennsylvania
more than 500, 900 has been ex-
pended and the finishing touches are
being put on by an expenditure this
year of fully $S0.0O0.000 in additional
track facilities and In bettering the
present track and roadbed. With the
same end in view the management of
the Pennsylvania has expended close
to s2OO.OOO,O0O fully half of which was
New York, in buying valuable business
property, tearing 1t down and erect
ing In It's stead one OF the finest pas
senger stations. II not the finest sta
ton, in the world.
Naturally the preparation for such a
struggle would extend to every de-
partment and every feature OF the sci
ence of railroading. The effort has
been on the part of both arrangements
to secure, first. the very best facilities
in the way of track. road bed, rolling
stock, stations. power and terminals
that money could buy.
