A lot OF wartime mayors. for war

NJ ADOO TELLS
RAIL REFORMS
Report on Seven Months
Control Shows Won
derful Savings.

Reaffirming his intent to human
ize the railroads and negative the
idea that corporations have no souls, 9"
William G. McAdoo, Director General
Of the United States Railroad Admin
istration, made public yesterday a
report to the President covering the
first seven months of his trusteeship.
He showed a unified system Of rail-
way and water mileage, which was
formerly 2.s05 railroad companies,
operating S9IOl4 miles OF trackage,
and boat and steamship lines en-
, gagged in coastsise transportation and
navigating an inland water system
which included some fifty-seven
canals, 3,N57 miles in length, as we'll
as many thousand miles of navigable
rivers, lakes. bays and sounds.
In rccouatiuG a great series Of re-
I forms and savings in operation, the
Director General points out that there
were but two considerations, aly avs
before the Federal administration OF
transportation:
VI Ailt war
The service to the public at the
lowest cost consistent with The pay
ment OF fair wages TO the railroad
employees and the maintenance of the
transportation system under control
OF the government as a self-support-
ing rather than money-making
agency"
Taken Over In Bad shape.
The report outlines the crippled con-
ditions OF the railroads when taken
over, their insufficient motive power
and equipment. and their failure 10
move freight promptly because OF con-
gestion and blockades. Mr., McAdoo
says there is reason to belle re sub
stantial progress has been made IN
accelerating the movement Of traffic
and employing the available equip
ment more intensively."
He Is confident that the railroads
VIII shortly be in a condition to meet
any demapds that may be made upon
them "if the needed motive power
already ordered can be secured. and
the skilled labor necessary is not
Withdrawn from the railroads for
military and other purposes"
Immediately upon the roads coming
under government control a series of
reorganization of staffs and methods
was begun to effect savings in opera
tions.
Vast Troop Movements.
Among the operating accomplish
ments Of the lines under government
control are the movement of about
o'fDo'o5s troops between May 1, 1917
ana July l, 1918, without serious in
convenience to the normal passenger
service OF the lines. speed with which
Iuunoer for ships, airplanes and
otner government requirements are
now being handled, fifteen days be-
ing the time for delivery from coast
10 coast. and the movement. of 1000, =
0O tons more coal for the six months
! ending with July than In the same
I period year ago. which up to that
time was a record.
Friends of government ownership
see IN the McAdoo report evidence Of
tnelr contention that the great nation
al public services can be more cheap
ly and effectively operated by the
government than by private interests.
! ana even railroad men, opposed
10 such governmental activities. con-
cede II record OF marvellous
achievement.
