New York business men and manufac-
turers provided more conveDiences than
those Of this city, making 1t easier to
handle and ship their goods.
Mr.. Rea says the charges against the
Pennsylvania system emanate from two
Observation-Disclosures The first Of these,
he says, is the belief that the routing Of
the freight and the selection Of it's
destination lie in the hands Of the rail
roads. and the second the belief that
the Pennsylvania railroad profits by the
longer haul to New York.
To correct the first of these misunder-
standings, Mr.. Rea says the railroads
simply ship the goods to the points to
which they are consigned. Concerning
the second Misunderstanding he says
the additional charge which the rail-
roads are allowed to make for the extra
haul to New York city does not com =
pensatc them for the extra 100 miles
they have to move the merchandise.
What Philadelphia needs, says Mr..
Rea, is not greater frontage on tide
water stream. more piers, or greater
railroad facilities. but more traffic. -

TRANSFER OF ROADS
MADE SIMPLY HERE

The three great railroad systems run.
ming into Philadelphia have been re-
turned to their corporate owners and
are operating smoothly today.
The transfer Of the Pennsylvania,
the Reading, and the Baltimore and
Ohio systems took place at midnight,
without hitch. The railroad admin
istration employees, most of whom also
are employees of the roads, had pre-.
pared carefully for the transfer.
Both the Reading and the Pennsyl
vania systems will be operated in ac-
cordancc with new plans announced
about month ago. The changes in
the Pennsylvania method Of operation
entail reorganization of the entire sys
TEN. The changes in the Reading meth
od are not so sweeping. but arc consid
cred vital. Both systems have their
HEADQUARTERS here.
The only physical evidence Of the
change at Broad Street Station was O

transfers announced recently. Officials
given other titles or duties under pri
vnte management moved into their new
quarters.

comotives have been used to the utmost,
and need thorough overhauling and re-
pair. The supply Of new freight cars
and locomotives has been far below nor
NAL, and is behind the needs OF the
country. These faults will be rem
cdied."
In view Of these great changes, which
were announced several weeks ago,
President Rea, of the =. II. r., thought
it advisable to make further state
ment to the employees, commenting on
this and also upon the return oil the
roads to private ownership. This state
ment says:
Effective with the return OF the rail-
roads to their owners for operation on
March I, the lines of the pennsylvania
system have been divided into four oper
ating regions to facilitate and encourage
closer and freer contact at all times with
the employees and the public.
"All efforts must be devoted to meet
ing the demands of the country, but,
as result Of war conditions, and the
crisis through which the nation has
passed, the property is returned to its
own management with its roadbed and
equipment below it's usual standard.
Further. our facilities have not kept
pace with the growth Of in dustry. and
until additional cars, locomotives,
tracks and terminals can be provided,
we must utilize the present facilities
TO the fullest possible extent. For
some time, and for these reasons, the
service rendered cannot fully meet pub
lie requirements. However, it is hoped
that every one who requires transporta-
ton Of the Pennsylvania Railroad sys-
ten, either freight or passenger, will
see constant improvement. Our future
success depends upon our ability to
command and retain the confidence and
co operation Of the public. which we
can have only il we fully meet all our
obligations and conscientiously perform
our every duty.
"For a long time many Of Us (both
employees and ofhcers) have justly felt
that our real problems were not appre-
| ciatcd and were not understood by the
public but now we believe the Amer
ican people arc thoroughly alive 10 the
necessity for understanding these prob
lens. and deciding upon a policy under
which they can be settled on a just
basis.
''In cur own organization. the long
! ing for return to the Pennsylvania
standard Of work and service is appar-
ent on every side. If each of us-the
275 900 men and women who comprise
the personnel Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road systcm-will respond to this spirit
and work together as we have in the
past. we shall succeed in satisfying
the public and earning a fair return
for the many hundreds Of thousands
Of our citizens, and their institutions,
who furnished the money to create and

RAISES MAIL RATE ISSUE
7urleson Asks for Reconsideration OF
Increase Granted Railroads

Washington, March 1.-(By A. P)
--Postmaster General Burleson today
requested the Interstate Commerce
Commission to reconsider its decision
six weeks ago in the railroad mail rate
case, by which the railroads we're given
an increase in compensation for carry
ing the mails.
Among reasons advanced by the post
master general for bis request was that
under the new compensation schedule
the roads received more for handling
the mails than the express companies
received for similar service In CONNER
cial work. Mr.. Burleson also attacked
the rules and regulations prescribed by
the commission governing the trans
portation of mails. He urged a revision
Of these regulations as well as a recon =
sideration Of the space rate basis Of pay.

Governor.
ASK Director Sproule why the port
of Philadelphia is losing out in port
business" said Captain Gately. director
Of the United States shipping board
here.
"A short time ago" said the cap
tain. "the director publicly criticized
the shipping board for the trouble. say
ing that there was tremendous con
gcstion Of traffic here, and that it was
due to the gross incf6cicucy of the
board.
Good Ad for Port
'To my mind that statement was the
best advertisement for the port that
the business is coming here, despite
knockers.
"The steamship men here have been
doing their very best to boost the port.
especially during the last fourteen to
sixteen months. The port Of Philadcl-
pha is doing 500 per cent moro busi-
ness now than it ever did in the two
to five years previous to this time"
Captain Gatcly said. however. that
ne could not vouch for the active inter
est of manufacturers and business men
here in this matter.
"Whrn they have the facilities here
FOR doing business the business men here
consistently ignore them" said w. II.

Through their neglect the Merchant
