RAILROAD OUTL00K BELIEVED BRIGHTER
MCAdoo Confident Lines Will
 Stand Necessary Burdens

Washington, Sept. 9.-Tn q report to the President, Director General McAdoo tells an interesting story of the work of the United States Rail road Administration during the first seven months of it's existence.
 The American transportation sys- tenn Is briefly described as including a steam railway mileage Gall traclls) of 397.014 miles, owned or controlled by 2,905 companies, tmploying 1,700- 8l4 persons. Their property also comprised various boat and steamship lines engaged in coastwise tranSporta- tion and navigating an inland water way system which included some 57 canals, 3,057 miles in length, as well a S many thousand miles of naViga ble rivers, lakes, bays. sounds and inlets. Of the 2,905 railway companies, 1S5 operated major systems, each of which had an annual operating reve- nue of $1,000,000 or more, 221 were switching or terminal companies, L., 434 were plant facility roads con- Structed primarily to serve some par ticular factory or industry, and 765 are what have come to be described as "short-lne" railways, dependtnt upon one or more of the larger sys tems for through connections.
 MT. McAdoos view of the future is optimistic. He says that there is good ground for believing that substantial progress has been made ''in aCcelerat ing the movement of traffic and em- ploying the available equipment more
 ic 2 T that the railroads will shortly be in condition to meet any demands that may be made upon them if the needed power already ordered can ba secured and the skilled labor neces- sary is not withdrawn from the rail- roads for military and other purposes. These, he says, are very serious phases of the railway problem.
 Elaborate traffic statistics are ad- duced in support of his claim with re- gard to the intensified employment of equipment. These statistics show that both the carload and the trainload have been substa 1tially increased, and that by "rerOuting," the distance that freight must be hauled between many centers has been greatly sb bortened- In one instance SS0 miles have thus been saved, and in many other cases the saving runs from 100 to 300 miles.
 As one example of the economy that has thus been made possible he men tions the fact that recently during a, period of about 60 days some S,999 cars were rerouted in a certain western territory so as to effect a saving ia the mileage travelled by each car of 195 miles, equal to q total of 1,754SO5 miles

RECONSTRUCTION
 FOR R. R. EMPLOYES
Draft Boards Asked to Review Cases Where Men Have Been
 Placed in Class T.

Washington, Sept. a.-Draft boards have been asked by Provost Marshal General Crowder to reopen all cases where skilled railroad employees have been placed in Class I and to deter mine anew whether the men concerned are entitled to exemption from mili- tary service.
 No change in the regulations has been made but it is expected the re- viewing action of the board taken in the light of industrial developments will result in the exemption of a larg, CT numb Der of railroad men and present some relief from a situation which has led to a. protest to President Wilson by Director General McAdoo
 The review is asked to cover all skilled railroad employees, without re- gard to the branch of service. Men in railroad service between 8 and 45 years of age, who register Thursday, will be held for service or exempted under the new regulations in reference to occupational exemption, the appH- cation of which is expected to be more liberal The present order only applies to those within the old draft ages who are not in service.
