chine gun in operation will use up a
bale in three minutes; in a naval bat
tie like the one off Jutland over 5000
pounds minute are consumed by

REVOLUTIONARY MOVE IN TRANS

Nonessentias Hard, Is the Plan
Shift Employees and Equip
mcnt as Needed.

hington.-Operation of all rail-
way lines east of Chicago as one CEN
tralized system was decided on Satur-
day by the railroad war board, to OBJ
tain maximum of efficiency in traf-
fic movement. Cars and trackage ia
cilities will be pooled, regardless of
ownership or the railroads individual
interest
This almost revolutionary move was
announced after conference between
members of the war board and gov
eminent officials at which many rem
edies were offered for the freight con-
gestion that has paralyzed transporta-
ton in the east. 1t was adopted as
the best and readiest means of meet
ing situatio nthat has threatened the
production and dispatch abroad of war
materials.
Under War Board.
The roads will be operated by a
committee of vice presidents of the
lines, under the general direction of
the war board, itself comprising five
of the country's railway heads. The
committee of vice presidents will be
given full authority to adopt any
measures found necessary to accom-
plish a unified operation. The opera
ton program calls for the following
Diversion of locomotives, employees
and machine tools from western to
eastern railroads.
Utilization of repair shops on west
ern lines for repairing eastern equip
ment.
Pooling of all tracks and equipment
in the east wherever practicable.
Pro-rata distribution among eastern
roads of open top cars on a basis of
tonnage-carrying capacity of the equip
ment in the pool.
Diversion from congester lines of
all freight that can be handled by any
open route.
Eliminate Cross haun
To make more effective the pooling
arrangement the war board recon-
mended that the government take the
following steps Immediately:
Survey the present contracts and
methods of purchase and shipment of
coal that cross hauls may be elimin-
ated and that coal may move on the
shortest route from producer to con-
sumner.
Extending pooling of coal production
and shipment.
Transfer, as far as possible, the
movement of foodstuffs and other ex-
port commodities to southern ports to
relieve congestion in north Atlantic
ports.
Survey all government requirements
involving the movement of raw mate
rails and manufactured products SO
that accumulations on roads and In
terminals may be eliminated while
products are awaiting shipment or ex-
port.
| Require wherever possible the build,
ing. OF war Industrial plants In. terri
tory other than the eastern seaboard.
| The pooling plan was worked out to
the railroad heads some days ago and
has been formally approved by gov
| eminent officials.
