RAILROADS MASTER
HUGE TRAFFIC TASK
RISE TO GOVERNMENTS WAR
NEEDS by EFFICIENT CO.
OPERATION.

American railroads have achieved
the astounding feat of adding to their
freight service, in the short space of
two years, an amount equal to the
freight traffic of Great Britain, Rus
STA, France, Germany and Austria
combined. according to an announce
ment by William Sproule, chairman
of the Western department of the
railroads war board, who summa-
rized the results accomplished by the
organization during the first four
months of its existence, as follows:
Excess of untitled car acquisitions
over idle cars. or what is commonly
called car shortage, reduced 70 per
cent.
Freight transportation service in
May 16.1 per cent in excess of that
rendered in 1915 which was "a per
cent greater than in 1915.
(. Twenty million miles of train serv-
ice saved for essential freight by
elimination of unnecessary passenger
trains.
Empty freight cars, irrespective Of
ownership, ordered into districts
where most needed, 1890, a policy
brand new in American railroading.
Pooling of lake and tidewater coal
and lake ore saved $4,000 cars.
Regulated abnormal export move
ment of 75,6s2,62S bushels of wheat.
corn, barley and oats to allies from
May 1 to July IA with no delays or
no blocking OF facilities.
Secured nationwide cooperation
in intensive car loading.
Stationed trained railroad men at
every cantonment and at Washington
headquarters to cooperate with the
government in transportation plans.
Perfected plans for moving 1,000,-
900 men from Ave thousand different
points to the 80 training camps by
October 20, with equipment to MI
10000 freight cars.
Freight Of all kinds IL being
handled in unexampled volume. the
railroads hauling from mines alone
100000 more tons of fuel than
ever carried before.
Organization, hard work and the
faithful help Of the 1,760.000 rail-
road men," said Mr.. Sproule, 'is
making the accomplishment pos
sible."
