Says Willard

Washington, May 4--Curtailment o
passenger train service and shipment o.
most of the countryis output of rolling
stock and rails to the allies were fore
cast yesterday by Daniel Willard in q
speech before the national defense con
ference of governors and representatives
of state defense councils.
Already Mr.. Willard said, the federal
councils general railroad board is work
ing on plan for readiustment of seized
ules. Other nations at war, he said, have
discontinued passenger schedules entire
~, but the American government hopes
to bring the railroads TO their highest
point of efficiency by eliminating dupli-
cation and reducing the number of pas
senger trains as far as possible without
mountaineering the public Of the $4,000
passenger train locomotives in the United
States the railroad board hopes to release
1000 for freight trains.
at is vital that France and Russia
have locomotives and cars" said Mr., Will
lard. "We will have to furnish them.
How can we do it? We can do it by
getting along with what equipment we
have and by putting into force measures
of greater railway economy.
"The general railroad board of the de-
tense council, comprised of five railway
presidents who are operating the coun-
try's lines on continual system. is work
ing ON these measures now. BY reduc
ing the time allowed shippers to load
and unload cars we will have 245,000
freight cars for one trip a year. Ger
many has reduced the loading and I'M
loading time limit to six hours. We
can reduce our present limit from 4S to
"a hours, and although it will cause some
inconvenience, it is in the interest of all
the people.
"There will be more wartime rail bust
ness than the lines can handle. The coun-
try's systems are hauling more freight
than ever before, but they cannot carry
all that is in sight and it will be neces
sary for the general railroad board to de-
eide which classes of freight shall have |
preference.
Already the board has said coal must I
go first and we are filing the country's |
coal yards for next winter. What is the
next most important commodity remains
nlent asked that seeds and agricultural |
implements De HioNeus anu Iht3 too are
being given preference.
Il shall give you an instance of what 1
we have accomplished in economy of
transportation. Heretofore the railway Il
lines have taken coal from the East to
the Pacific coast in steel cars and re-
turned the cars empty. The railroad
board had shippers put their coal in box
cars, and these cars are now being re-
turned loaded with freight. 1t caused
some inconvenience in unloading, but
everybody concerned periodically agreed
to accept the change.
eve are now rushing coal from the
central field to the Northwest by way of
the Great Lakes and all other freight
goes behind the coal. | can say believe
this means there will be no coal shortage
in that region"
