"The policy of the United States
Railroad Administration" said the Dr.
rector General, has been formed and
shaped by desire to accomplish the
following purposes which are named
i'll what / consider to be the order of
their Importance:
81. The winning of the war, which
includes the prompt movement of the
men and material that the Government
requires. To this every thing else must
be subordinated.
"2. The service of the public, which
is the purpose for which the railways
were built and given the privileges &C
corded them. This implies the main
tenance and improvement of the rail-
road properties so that adequate trans
portation facilities will be provided at
the lowest cost, the object of the Gov
eminent being to furnish service rath-
err than to make money.
"3. The promotion of spirit of sym
pathy and a better understanding As
between the administration of the
roads and their 100000 employees, as
we'll as their 100, 100000 patrons, which
latter class includes every individual
in the nation, since transportation Las
become prime and universal neces-
sity of civilized existence.
a. The application of sound econ
omies, including:
"A. The elimination of superfuoCs
"B. The payment of fair and living
wage for services rendered and just
and prompt compensation for injuries
received.
&C. The purchase Of material ind
equipment at the lowest prices con-
sistent with a reasonable but not an
excessive profit to the producer.
ID. The adoption of standardized
equipment and the introduction of ap-
proved devices that will save life and
labor
"E). The routing Of freight and pas
senger traffic with due regard to the
tact that straight line is the shortest
distance between two points.
"F). The intensive employment of
ali equipment and a careful record and
scientific study Of the results obtained,
with a view to determining the com
Darative efficiency secured"
