ton of the railways; and while it is too
soon to pass any judgment, two facts
stand out very strongly and are worthy
of note.
tThese first is that in these five
months on the face of the figures, the
roads carried slightly less ton-mileage
than in 1917. This, in spite of the ire
mendous pressures of war and of the
known increase in many lines of produc-
ton, is certainly very significant Elk
ira traffic has been carried in other
ways, largely, as we know, by motor or
trucks.
"The second fact is that the num-
Der of available locomotives and cars re-
manned practically the same as in the
first part of 1917. There was no in
crease. The roads were taken over for
their supposed inefficiency. But the
government, with all its money and
power, has found it easier to acquire ex-
perience than to increase the efficiency
of the railroad machine.
CATER five months Of unlimited
credit and power there is no increase in
cars or locomotives, or rail movement, or
