hardship to the industry. and ! shall

they were here. We must adjust our
selves to the conditions faced and re-
auctions effected must extend all the
way from the mine to the household.

too great hardship to any operator,

will start September s. Between that
date and September 9 the railroads
will complete the entrainment Of 200,
600 men, or approximately 30 per cent

third movement Of the same size on
October 3.
Some conception of the magnitude
Of the task confronting the American
Railway association in preparing
schedules that will assure the safe
and prompt transportation of these
armies without interfering with regu
lar traffic may be CLEANED from the
fact that to move merely one field
army of $4,000 men requires 6,229 cars
made up into 366 trains, with as many
locomotives and train crews.
Meanwhile, in addition to moving
the $4,000 recruits for the national

to supply transportation for the $50.
