TAMPICO LARGEST OIL
PORT IN The WORLD

During March, a record month
for Mexican oil exports. approx
mately 100000 barrels of crude
and refined oil were shipped from
the port of Tampico. which is the
largest oil port in the world. This
was about so per cent of the total
shipments from Mexico. and COM
pares with less than 100000 bar
rels shipped from the port of New
York in that month. An observer
recently counted 80 oil tankers ly-
ing at the mouth of the Panuco
River. near TampiCo. at one time.
These ships were estimated to rep
resent an investment of more than
500. 900, 900. and to have A total
carrying capacity of 100000 bar
rels of oil.
Exports of oil from Tampico
reach a monthly total considerably
in excess of the total shipments of
oil from the United States. whicn
averaged about 100000 barrels a
month during 1919. compared with
a present average of shipments
from Tampico of between 10000
and S.Oo0.OO0 barrels month. The
principal oil ports next to Tampico
are New York and Port Arthur,
Texas. New York takes a promi-

RAIL SERVICE {
HUGESETBA
Most Serious Factor in Both
Industrial and Financial
Situation.
TONNAGE INCREASES
April's Earnings Surprising
In View of Confusion
Caused by Strikes.

The inadequacy OF railroad serv,
ice continues to be the most serious
factor in both the industrial and
financial situations, although 1t
must not be understood that the
movement of freight Is not heavy.
For the first three months OF this
year the tonnage handled was 24.T
per cent greater than in the first
three months of 1919, and 20 per
cent greater for the month Of
March. Compared with the corre-
spending months of 1917, tonnage
was greater by rs per cent in Jan-
uary. 1920; by per cent in Feb
ruary. and by Sc per cent in March.
These figures are for months be-
fore the railroad strikes began.
Tonnage figures are not available
for later months. but for April the
gross earnings of the roads were
greater than in April of last year,
amounting to 1886. $50, 900, against
s373,sS3, 900 in April. 1919.
The fact that earnings were
greater in April than a year ago 10

ner which has suggested concerted
action for the purpose of influence
ing the wage board, which has been
celebrating upon the applications
for increased pay. Recently. out
breaks at Philadelphia and Balti-
more have compelled the establish
ment of emoargoes against consign-
ments TO those important ports.
There could be no more striking
example of injury done to the en-
tire age-earning population by
the inconsiderate action of a part
of il than is afforded by these
strikes. Thousands of wage earners
have lost millions in wages by the
shutdowns OF industrial establish
ments made necessary by these
strikes. while the cost of food sup
plies and other goods have in
creased. The railway men justify
their action by complaining of the
slow procedure Of the Wage Board.
but IL may be noted that the In
terstate Commerce Commission is
quite as deliberate in dealing with
the applications of the railway
companies for increased rates. In
fact, the rates have been insufi-
cient for years.
The railway employees have fared
very well on the whole as compared
with wage earners in other in
dustries, regularity of employment
and rates of pay considered, and
very we'll compared with the treat
ment accorded railway sharehold-
expected to have due regard for
their responsibilities and to act
with deliberation. Such a body as
the Wage Board, composed as il Is
of representatives of the employees,

lie. inevitably requires time to
reach an agreement. and probably
will have TO compromise differ

ordered our boy scouts to guard all

fectively did they do this that the
plans of the Germans were COM

This in itself shows the value of
the move mcnt. 1t has been rccog-
