SET HAUL RECORD
May Biggest Freight Month
Railroads Ever Had.
War Board Efficiency Given
Credit for Showing.

Official statistics, just compiled,
show that never in a single month in
the history of American railroads, was
so much freight traffic moved as IN
last May.
Returns from roads having 49,
miles of line show that in May last
they gave service equivalent to carry
ing 29,522, S7O,10s tons of freight one
mile In May, 1916, when business
was considered heavy. the same roads
carried 25,426, S45,011 tons of freight
one mile.
Even more striking than the estab-
record by American railroads is the
fact that. with an increase of only one
half of / per cent in locomotives in
service and of only lie per cent in
the number of freight cars in service,
there was over 16 per cent more
freight handled in May, 1917, than in
May, 1916.
This result" said ]. R. Koontz,
general freight agent of the Santa Fe,
was possible only thru the methods
instituted by the railroads war board
to increase the efficiency of the roads.
with the cooperation of shippers and
receivers of freight, and the public
generally"
Last May railroad locomotives ran
an average of 71.3 miles a day, and
freight cars 1856 miles day, while
in the same month of last year loco
motives averaged 65.6 miles and
freight cars 2S.3 miles d day. The
increase in mileage per day was 5 per
cent and there was an increase of 9.5
per cent in the mileage Of cars NOV
ing under load.
The number of freight cars in the
shop or awaiting repairs in May, 1917,
was 104,061 against 113,147 cars in

Among 5000 Miners and Give Up.

Ironwood Mich, Aug. 6.-The strike

walked out. All mines except the
Colby and Ironton mines continued
working large crews. With the arrival
of the Michigan mounted constabulary
and the subsequent arrest of fourteen
strike leaders. the backbone of the
strike was broken. Since that time
