RAILROADS AND LACK OF LABOR

When it is announced by President Pearson of the New Haven system that his road is embarrassed seriously by the lack of skilled mechanics and en- zine, train and yafdnien it shows one of the important handicaps under which railroad operation is being car ried on. How this operates is shown by the report of inspectors of the in- terstate commerce commission who report that there we're Oh the third in the company's roundhouse at Cedar Hill 42 locomotives laid up for re- pairs. Owing to shortage of me- chaziies 1t was then declared that while some of them would be put into ser vice very soon there were overhaul of them which would require from two to twelve days to make sefviceable. The same situation exists regarding the |. handling Of cars through shortage ot operating forces.
 It is thus made plain that the cut ting off of the many passenger trains was done not solely for the purpose oi clearing the rails for the movement of the freight trains but for the SC.
 
 crate them, for the reduction in pas. senger trains means that those wht have been employed in that service will now be engaged in the movsmen, fos freight trains.
 { Shortage of skilled mechanics i! likewise felt in England where it il reported that there are thousands O. locomotives out of service because O the inability to get the men and ma tetial to repair them. There, however new engines are taking the place O those which are disabled, but here tn, roads are suffering from their inAbil !ity to get new equipment to replac the damaged and the combination makes the problem of the railroad in deed serious, and such can be expect ed to continue until there is de cided improvement in the labor sit uation.
