time since the middle Of August when
the railways In a large part Of This

mand for. The recent strike in Illinois
greatly delayed the shipment Of coal
from the mines Of that state. The re-
suit Is going 10 be that during the next

1.-THE railways have now entered the
period when they viii have the great |
est difficulty they have ever expert
enced in handling the available traffic,
declares the Railway Age Gazette in its

with special reference to the recent
announcement that on October the
number Of untitled acquisitions for
acquisitions for cars exceeded the
number Of surplus cars at various
points in the country by 7O,3sO cars.

forth an effort approaching the super
human n the railways are to be en-
abled TO handle all the trarflc available. "
Among the reasons given for the ex-
preston OF the foregoing views are the
following:
within the last eighteen months, and
more especially within the last six
months, the railways have increased
the efficiency with which they operate
their facilities TO an extent which few
years ago would have been declared
impossible. In July they handled ~ ~
per cent. more ton-miles with each
} freight car and almost 10 per cent
more ton-mlles with each freight
locomotive than they did IN July
1916. They handled not far from
80 per cent. more traffic with each car
and each locomotive than they did II
the same month two years ago.
"But the unprecedented increase II
traffic which began about two years
ago continues undated. The roads ar
