Railroads Moving to Real Economies.

While expert accountants and attorneys are
presenting figures and arguments on behalf of
the railroads petitioning for permission to in
crease their rates, the practical operating forces
of the several systems are busy contrivng work
able plans to get greater service out of existing
equipment as less expense. One way already
discussed by The Bee. is to load freight cars
to nearer their maximum capacity and by so do
ing to increase their utility. Another is to induce
patrons to load and unload with greater speed,
thus returning cars to service sooner, and through
the combination to add fully half the number to
the freight cars In existence simply through bet

One OF the most important of recent devel-

and to transmit that liberated power into tractve
effort has long been the study OF the engineer.
The greatest advance in this science is now ex-
emplihed in the use Of pulverized coal. Fuel
crushed to impalpable dust is fed into the fur
mace and there consumed, The result does away
with ashes cinders, sparks and other objection
able products OF ordinary combustion, achieves

the fuel and in actual service has evaporated so

from coal burned under ordinary service eondi-

fuel are too many to be here eatalogued, but
are understood by practical railroad men.
Electrhcation of railroads is inevitable, but
pending that time the adoption of the pulver-
lied coal for steammaking purposes on locomo-
tives will effect such economies as will swell net
earnings materially Practical men are busy look

The chief subjects taken UP at the
meeting were increasing the labor supply
and better cooperation between the gov

ed the production Of naval and merchant
