sk,p-stop a Success In Detroit.

The fuel administrator at Detroit.
Mich. has required the street railways
In that city to operate under tho skip
stop" plan. and the saving in coal, 1t is
estimated. ranges from fifty to seventy
five tons day.
While street railway oflcials in
Washington today were up In the air
as to what the order requires. and
whether 1t applies to Washington at
all, the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company estimated that, II put
into effect here, it would mean a saw

tons per day for each Of the nine Mon

would not discuss the probable effect OF
the order. but. it was pointed out by
ton. If both companies saved as much
as 200 tons a. day on the nine Mondays
specified the total saving would be only
1900 tons. -5s ~. ss.- .s.,s...
A committee of experts for the electric
railway war board estimated that both
companies, by maintaining 'tslxip-stops'' in
the outlying and intermediate sections,
would save 9.400 tons of coal in the course
Of the year.
Strive for Substitute Plan.
The ultimate saving under the "slip-
stop" plan appears to be so much greater
that it was considered probable today that
every effort would be made to have the
fuel administrator accept this plan in lieu
of the one involving a so per cent reduc-
tion In rush hour service on the nine con-
secutive Mondays named in his order.

Russia still in War.

Il is to be pointed out to the Presi-
dent Russia is not yet out Of the war
and that her continuance as belliEer-
ent, even though the nation did not
actually .present a fighting front. would
be Immensely. beneficial to the United
States. The moment is ripe, the Presi-
dent is to pe told. for this government
to seize its opportunity and bring Rus
sia back to the allied fold. 4-.s -,
It is understood that some degree OF
recognition for the bolshevik govern
ment Is to be recommended to the
President on the theory that Lenfne

purposes, the Representatives of the

be hostile to the United States.

Bad weather reduced coal movements

The. railroad administration today

the temporary transfer OF skilled rail-

acute shortage in competent labor ma
terial. Machinists and car repairmen:
it was pointed out by executives Of

were met with the announcement that
the railroads were helpless to improve
the situation materially until the snow
and ice blanket covering the middle

from western railroad territory to the

SKIP STOP PlANAS
BIG SAVER Of COAL
Better Than Garfield Order,
Visiting Engineers
Claim.
ADOPTION HERE ASKED

Immediate adoption Of . "sktp-stop
system for washington's street railway
lines will lead to q bigger saving IN
coal than carrying out the fuel admin
istrator's order for curtaalment OF car
service on nine consecutive Mondays,
beginning January %.
with estimates already available
showing that skip stops, II established
in the outlying districts and sections
beyond the business area. would lead to
q saving of e,4oo tons Of coal year,
New York engineers who are making
survey OF the local traction situation
today declared that this system. II ap-
piled to the city generally. would pro-
duce results exceeding those contem-
plated by DR.. Garheld's order.
Suggestion has been made to the
Commissioners that they appeal to the
fuel administrator for a suspension of
the order as 1t applies to local traction
tenn may be given a chance to bring
about an even greater economy Of coal.
80 Per Cent or In Rush Seen.
It is estimated that service during
rush hours will be reduced fully 80 per
cent IL the order is not altered Dis
trict oficials believe that this heavy
curtailment will be disastrous to the
ef1cient conduct Of government busi-
ness. ~ -. ss1.s
The same belief is shared by repre-
sentatives of the John A. Beeler Or
ganization that is Investigating street
ear conditions for the Public Utilities
Commission. so.
It is known that, considerable study
already has been made by this organi-
zation OF the "skip-stop'' plan; that
several lines have been charted with
proposed stop eliminations, and that 1t
would be ony matter Of two or three
weeks before q comprehensive plan
could be presented for the adoption of
"skip-stops' in the business as well
as intermediate and outlying sections.
It Is urged. therefore,. by those who
have some knowledge Of what the sur
vey has thus far disclosed. that. II DR..
Garfield will lift the coal ban as far as
washington's street cars are concerned
It should be possible to have skip
stops operating within a month, with
no reduction in the number Of cars op-
Grated and with as extensive saving OF
coal assured as under the more drastic
government plan.
