TRAFFIC BUsINEss LOST
GROUND IN NOVEMBER

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Feb. I. -
Tables prepared by the Bureau Of
Railway Economics from the reports
made by the railways for that month
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion show that the business done by
the railways Of the United States in
the month of November was some.
what less than the business done in
November, 1910, when measured by
the average per mile, the only basis
on which comparison can properly be
made.
The total operating revenues Of
railways include their receipts for
freight and passenger transportation.
for mail and express service. and for
all other traffic service rendered.
The average receipts in November.
1911. for n little more than 30 per
cent Of the total mileage Of the
country. were si,054 a mile, n decline
of sls "a mile from the receipts in
November, 1910. There was decrease
in average receipts in both freight
and passenger service. The decline
was unevenly distributed. The lines
of the eastern part Of the country
show only "A slight decrease for No.
vember, 1911, in comparison with
November, 1910, while the lines in
the southern section show a slight in.
crease and the lines in the western
section falling off. In the total
operating revenue. the receipts for
freight transportation represent III
per cent and receipts for passeng ger
transportation EOS per cent, the re.
mainder coming from mail, express.
and other sources.
Operating expenses also show
lower average per mile Of line. These
include all costs Of maintaining track
and equipment, the cost of operating
trains, Of securing traffic and Of nd.
ministration, but do not include new
construction. Expenditure for main.
tenanee Of tracks and buildings was
reduced by an average Of $40 n
mile rs compared with expenditure
in November, 1910. For the mainte.
nance Of equipment there was an in.
crease averaging 10 cents mile; and
the cost Of conducting transportation,

do was to build a road solidly and he
kept his eyes ever on the improve
ment of its physical properties. This
singleness of purpose once involved
him in a row with the late E. H.
Hartman, from which he emerged
with credit TO himself.
He was born at Rock Island, Ill,
Nay 16, 1856, and entered the rail-
road business in 1873, accepting a
minor clerkship with the Atlantic &
Pacific Railroad company in st. Louie.
For the next Is years he remained
in the employ of that company, of
the Missouri Pacific and the Wabash,
st. Louis & Pacific. Then he was
appointed assistant general manager
of the Wabash railroad, six months
| later being appointed general mana
ger of the Wabash Western. In July,
| 1889, he was appointed general mana
ger of the reorganized Wabash rail-
road and in 1893 he became vice
president.

Trunk dates from Dec. 81, 1895,
when he resigned his position with
the Wabash to become general man
ager of the Canadian road. 1t was
with this road that he made his in
fiuence most strongly felt. The
Grand Trunk showed the disadvan-
tages of absentee ownership and con-
troll when Mr.. Hays was called to its
head. Its owners were content to
take their dividends in London and
let the property run itself. Mr.. Hays
undertook to change all this. He
went TO London and held a number
of conferences with the owners. The
physical property of the road must
be improved, he assured them. They
needed more and newer rolling stock.
He was persuasive and indefatigable.
In the end he triumphed.
The Grand Trunk showed signs of
| improvement. The service was ex-
tended. 1t was at this juncture that
the Southern Pacific needed a presi-
dent to succeed Coils P. Huntington.
The position was offered to Mr.. Hays.
He accepted.
1t was his idea that he could take
| the Southern Pacific out of politics
But the late Mr.. Harriman's purposes
happened not to coincide with that
ideal The result was friction. II
soon became evident that Mr.. Hays
and Mr.. Hartman could not sit com
fortably at the same directors table
Mr.. Hays withdrew, but not hastily.

Charles Melville Hays. native son

smaller in tonnage, which was com
manded by Captain Smith.
According TO Mr.. Marston, Captain
Smith had always insisted that the
steamers that he commanded should
carry an equipment of boats and RATS
sufficient TO take care of every pas
senger and every member of the crew
in case of disaster at sea.
He had been successful in his de-
mands until he took command Of the
Olympic, when he was unable to in
duce the officials of the line to carry
more boats than we're included in the
original plans Of the ship.
He was also unable to induce the
company officials to equip the Titanic
with additional boats and RATS when
| he took command of that ship.
Captain Smith knew that the Titan,
! ic did not carry enough lifeboats and

boats and RATS it does to afford any
sides, there is always danger of some /
of the boats becoming damaged or
swept away before they can be !
manned
Mr.. Alarston says he asked Captain |
Smith why the company took such
chance and whether it was to save
money.
No" the captain is quoted as re-
plying, "T don't think it's from motives
of economy, as the additional equip
ment would cost only a trife when
compared to the cost of the ship, but
the builders nowadays believe that
their boats are practically indestruct-
IDLE, as far as sinking goes, because
of the water-tight bulkheads, and that
the only need of lifeboats at all is for
/ purposes of rescue from other ships
that are not so modernly constructed,
or to land passengers in case of the
! ship going ashore. They hardly regard
them as life-saving equipment.
Personally, | believe that a ship
ought to carry enough boats and RATS
to carry every soul aboard it. have
followed the sea now for forty years
and have attributed my success in
not having an accident, until We were
rammed by the Hawke in the Solent at
Southampton, and was eXonerated in
that case, to never taking a chance.
Il always take the safe course While
there is only one chance in thousand
that ship like the Olympic or Titanic
may meet with an accident that would
injure il so severely that it would
sink before aid would arrive, yet if l
had my way both ships would be
equipped with twice the number of
: lifeboats and RATS. In the old days
, it was different from today with the
mergers and trusts in the steamship
, business. Now the captain has little
to say regarding equipment. All of
that has been taken out of his hands
J and is taken care of at the main Office. -
In the discussion Mr.. Marston says
he asked Captain Smith if there was
any truth in the statement that has
t been made, that the ships were una
f Bile to carry enough life-saving equip
ment to carry the crew and passeng
ers in case the steamer went to the
bottom.
only in cases of excursion steam
ers," the captain said, according tC
Mr.. Marston. Excursion steamers
loaded to their capacity would moi
have room to carry a fourth of the
boats and RATS to carry their passeng
ers and crews in case of disaster.
But these steamers do not ge
far from land and they are onl!
crowded in summer when the waite
is warm and a passenger with a life
preserver coula remain afloat for hour
until he was picked up.
I'm the cases of ocean steamers,
the captain continued. there is not
one of the transatlantic liners tina
could not carry enough boats and raft
to carry every passenger aboard. o
course such equipment would take III
space, but it would make but LITTLE
difference in the vessels tonnage"
