STATEMENT TO
The PUBLIC

Complaints have reached me from
time to time Of overcrowded trains
and unsatisfactory conditions pre-
vailing in some sections of the coun
try in passenger train service. 1
feel certain that there are grounds
for some of these complaints. but
am sure the public Will be interest
ed to know that the reasons are two
fold.
First. the great number Of troops
now being handled over the various
railroads between the homes and
the environments. between the differ
emit cantonments and then to the sea
board. 10 making extraordinary de-
mands upon the passenger car and
sleeping car equipment Of the coun-
try. This has caused . scarcity Of
day coaches and sleeping cars which
It IL impossible to remedy imma-
|diately.
Secondly. the increased demands
upon track and terminal facilities
for the transportation Of the ire
mendous amounts Of coal. food sup.
plies. raw materials and other things
required for military and naval op-
eraticns, - we'll - for tina support
Of the civil population Of the country
force the largest possible curtail-
rrsnt OF passenger train service. The
movements Of troops and war mater
lals are Of course Of paramount Inn
portancs and must be given at all
times the right OF way.
1t was hoped that the increase in
passenger rats recently made would
have the Wholesome effect Of reduc-
ing unnecessary passenger tralllc
Throughout tho country. The small
