of tons per car has increased IS per
cent. This increase, he says 'if it
were general throughout the coun-
try would be equivalent to the addi-
ton OF Az, 900 cars to the equipment
Of the country's railroads"
Under federal control the number
of railroads drawing salaries Of

duced by 400 and $4,615. 900 a year
has been saved. The expenses of
the law department have been re-
duced s1,5OO,O0O a year. By the
consolidation Of ticket offices and
the abandonment of competition, il
is estimated that 23.566,633 will be
saved. And Of this amount, ST.
100000 will be saved on advertising
bills.
At the same time wages have been
raised; the eight-hour day has been
granted: women are receiving the
same pay as men for the same sort
of work; and Negroes are no longer
being Disseminated against in their
wages and conditions OF employ

Freight routes have been short

age book, good on all roads, is be-
ing adopted. BY the consolidation
OF terminals efficiency has been in
creased and one cause OF great in
convenience TO travellers has been
removed.
It remains true. however, that the
first aim OF the railroad administra-
ton is 10 move the men and ma
terial needed by the government war
program. To this. everything else
is subordinated. The savings in
expenses. the Improvement in the
conditions OF labor, and the simpI-
