CURTAILMENT
Passenger Train Serv-
ice Threatened
Daniel Willard Forecasts Entire
Output Affected

Washington. May 3.-Curtailment OF
passenger service and shipment of the
country's entire output of rolling stock
day by Daniel Willard in speech before
the national defence conference of gov
ernors and representatives of state de-
fense councils.
Already. Mr.. Willard said, the federal
councils general railroad board is work
ing on a plan for readjustment of sched-
ules. Other nations at wa, he said, have
discontinued passenger schedules entirely
but the American government hopes to
bring them to the highest point of eff
cheney by eliminating duplication and re-
ducing the number of passenger trains as
far as possible without inconveniencing
the public.
Of the 14,0OO passenger train locomotives
in the United States. the railroad board
hopes to release 4O0c for freight trains.
1T is vital that France and Russia have
locomotives and cars" said Mr.. Willard.
I'VE will have to furnish them. How can
we do it? We can do 1t by getting along
with what equipment we have and by
putting into force measures of greater
railway economy. BY reducing the time
allowed shippers to load and unload cars
we will have 245,0O0 freight cars for one
trip year Germany has reduced the
loading and unloading time limit to six
hours We can reduce our present limit
from As to "a hours, and although it will
cause some inconvenience it is in the In
terest of all the people.
There will be more wartime business
than the lines can handle. The country's
systems are hauling more freight than
ever before but they cannot carry all
that is in sight and II will be necessary
for the general railroad board to decide
which classes Of freight shall have pref
erence."
