WILL REQUIRE MANY
 YEARS TO PUT k. R.s. IN
 RUSSIA BACK IN SHAPE

MOSCOW, May l2- Russian rail- road shops, working at maximum ot peace time capacity, will require more than 10 years to restore normal traf- fic with the present facilities of pro- duction, according to a survey recent lv published in the Economic Life. The chief needs are shown to be the i'm portation of rolling stock and the home development of the transpolta- ton industry.
 The survey shows that in 1914 the number of locomotives was approxi- rate!y 10000 with 16 percent unfit for use. The present number of lomo- lives is about 10000 with fifty-nine percent out of commission or in need of repairs, and the number of cars 25OO Lines in operation have also diminished about 20 percent.
 The maximum pre-war production in the Russian shops was 1,SOO loco- motives and 10000 cars annually, and the number that retired each year was 300 locomo ives and 30,000 trucks. The present need is for 1900 locomo- lives and 450,000 cars.
