S. P. Ready To
Transport Armies

The entire resources of the South
ern Pacific company and auxiliary
companies with their $4,000 employees
are today aligned with the United
States government for the mobillza-
ton Of troops and supplies, acting in
concert with the federal authorities
under an arrangement worked out by
committee of railroad executives.
President Sproule has named G. F.
Richardson, Southern Pacific super
intendent Of transportation, as his
personal representative and assistant
in the work of handling government
work in the western district
Some time ago tho American Rail-
way association appointed four COM
mittees of executives under the direc-
ton Of Fairfix Harrison, president of
the Southern Railway The commit
tees represented the eastern, western,
southern and central parts of the
country-William Sproule, president
of the Southern Pacific company, is
chairman of the western department,
with f. P. Ripley, president of the
Santa Fe system, and ]. D. Farrell,
president OF the Oregon-W Washington
Railway and Navigation company, as
associates. l.. F. Loree is chairman
of the eastern department, r. II.
Ashton in charge of the central de-
partment and w. B. Scott, chairman
of the southern division. Each chair
man has associates representing all
the lines in his territory.
The experience of the roads in the
Mexican expedition last summer has
given the railroad officials an indi-
cation of the requirements of the
country in war time. The movement
of 100000 men, with attendant food
supplies, lorses, motor trucks, tents
and other equipmcnC was handled
with dispatch by tho carriers. Since
that time the lessons of the mobiliza-
ton have been studied by the exec
utives with a view to just such a
crisis as now confronts them.
The Southern Pacific company,
which handles the burden of traffic
from the western district to and from
the border, has made all arrange
ments for duplicating the feat on a
larger and moro expeditions scale.
With wage controversies no longer
disturbing factor, tho railroads are
in much better condition to meet the
strain of the war than they would
have been a month ago. With the
approach of tho warm weather, con-
ges..on has disappeared to great ex-
tent, and the rules they have adopted
are showing good results.
To further tho cooperation be-
tween government and railroad au-
thorities, the transportation execu-
tives have detailed special corps Of
their men to work with army officials
at all important centers Of mobiliza-
ton. and it will be the duty Of these
men to assist in working out all the
problems of transportation that come
before military chiefs.
