LARGE QUANTITIES
OF RUBBER HOSE
USED IN COACHES
Nearly Four Thousand Miles of Tub
ing is Used in Various Ways in
Their Manufacture

If all the air brake, signal and heat
ing hose in use on. the 100000 rail-
road coaches, pullman and freight cars
now in operation in the United States
were stretched in a single line, 1t
would reach 3,77O miles-enough to
bridge the distance across the Allan
tic from New York to Gibraltar.
Amazing figures just compiled by
hose experts of Goodyear are enlight-
ening to the public as how essential
rubber in its various forms is to the
successful and safe operation of rail-
road trains.
There are six pieces of rubber hose
connecting every passenger or pullman
coach, two 22-inch lengths of air brake
hose, two similar lengths Of signal
hose and two 24-inch lengths of steam
heating hose. The first allows stimuli
tneous application of the air brkes on
every coach, the second permits in
slant signalling from any part OF the
train. while the third carries exhaust
steam from the engine boiler for heat
ing purposes.
Latest availble figures show that q
500, 900 freight cars are rolling in the
country; $4,000 passenger coaches and
10, 1000 sleeping Pullman cars. This Is
a total of 2,75O,00O cars equipped with
two pieces of 22-inch air brake hose,
making a total of 5.14O,00O lengths.
Hose is replaced every six months be-
cause of severe usage. which would
make a total Of 1O,280,OO0 lengths, or
22s, 1850, 900 inches of rubber hose used
for air brakes alone.
On each of the 10000 passenger and
Pullman coaches there are two lengths
of signal hose and heating hose. Figur-
ing four lengths to the coach, it would
require 200 miles Of such hose OF
Americas annual requirements.
Modern railroad coches are equipped
with electric lights and storage bat
teries. They are recharged by means
of dynamo beneath the car operated
by a rubberized fabric belt connected
With one axle of the truck. This belt
is ten feet long. The average life of
such a belt is $4,000 miles, but re-
placements are fequent because of no

The Facts of the Telephone
Situation in Louisiana
BIZ EPsB
CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE TELEGRAPH COMPANY
Why Telephone Material Is So Scarce

This was true even during the period
when the Government was in possession
and control Of the telephone properties OF
this country.
The greater part of the available tele-
phone equipment and materials was sent to
France, none Of which was ever returned.
On August LIST, 1919, when the telephone
properties were returned to the owners by
the United States Government, the avail
able supply Of equipment and material was
so small and the needs of the telephone
companies in this country so great, that alt
the telephone factories in the United States,
working day and night, could not within
three years have furnished the equipment
and materials necessary to restore the fa-
cilities to the pre-war status.
The equipment and material required by
this Company to complete its 1920 con-
struction program, will equal 1,400 car
loads of freight, averaging 10000 pounds
to the car, hauled from different parts OF
this country and delivered at hundreds Of
places in the five states in WHICH the COM
pany operates. This is equal to thirty-five
trains of an average of forty cars per train,
or $4,000 tons of materials.
Every business man knows what this
means.
Freight shipments from the industrial
centers of the North and East ordinarily
were uSttNeEGQ WlIUlU TWO OF LIEcS W&GA5e
now a much longer time is required.
The Western Electric Company is the
largest manufacturer Of telephone equip
ment and materials in the World. It has
representatives in all the markets of the
world. 1t buys its raw materials in vast
quantities at the lowest possible prices.
The Western Electric Company furnishes
this Company with the bulk Of it's equip
ment and materials and acts as our Supply
Agent.
1t did not accept any contracts from any
foreign government prior TO the date the
United States entered the war and only
than at the instance of the United States
Government. tt thus held itself in readi-
ness to serve at its maximum efficiency the
needs of the telephone industry in this
country.
It has a capacity for a much larger out
put but strikes, shortage Of productive Lac
Dor, lack Of fuel and shortage Of transpor-
tation, facilities affecting the securing Of
adequate raw materials-has curtailed its
output.
We have not relied entirely on the West
ern Electric Company, but have placed or
ders with other manufacturers where they
could promise deliveries. Each manufac-
turer with whom we have placed orders is
confronted with the same problems in SCI
curing his supply of raw materials.
In the face of all these difficulties the
manufacturers are turning out in excess Of
what was their normal output,

protection from snow and ice. Figur-
ing one ten-foot belt to the 10000
coaches in use, about $4,000 miles of
betting is used for train lighting alone
as original equipment.
Rubber is put to other uses on trains
as tender hose, squirt hose, cylin-
der head and air pump packing, gauge
glass gaskets, rubber flooring connect
ing curtains between coaches nd as
window shades.

The telephone material supply situation
is always one of factory capacity, LABOR
raw materials and transportation.
Prior to August, 1914, the supply OF raw
materials; the manufactured output; laDor
and transportation, was adequate. AS
result prices were low and DELIVERIES
prompt.
From June. 1915, to April, 1917, (when
this country entered the war; prices aver
aged an advance of nearly 100 per cent and
deliveries became intolerably slow.
Raw materials for telephone purposes are
obtained from all parts of the world.
platinum, used in switchboards, came
from Russia.
silk. used in vast quantities for insulat-
ing wires, comes from Japan
Old MANILA rope, used in making paper
for insulating wires in cables, comes from
the wharves of the world.
Diamonds, used in drawing out tlne wire
for use in switchboards, came from Europe
MANY other illustrations could be given.
These foreign sources OF raw materials
s11nulv were eliminated during the period
of the European war and are now lar De-
low normal.
Lead, copper, iron and tin, used in large
quantities in the manufacture OF telephone
equipment and materials, are also essentlaI
for the making of munitions. The war
Greatly reduced the available amount OF
raw materials and lessened the telephone
manufacturers production.
Strikes in industrial centers which fuf-
Tished the raw materials, and strikes and
embargoes on railroads essential to trans
Dortation of both raw materials and the mn
fshed products, are prime factors IN the
present shortage in telephone materials and
facilities.
The factories Of our suppliers have ca
pacity for much larger output, but strikes,
shortage of productive labor, lack OF fuel,
shortage of transportation facilities and
enbargoes affecting the sources OF raw ma
terials, have greatly interfered with their
possible output.
Today, with prices higher than war
prices, the demand greater than ever
known, current production is far lass than
the demand, being approximately 40 per
cent below the average, with deliveries slow
and uncertain.
In the face Of this condition the demand
for telephone service has increased and con-
tinues to increase enormously.
To meet this demand all available sur
Mus facilities and materials were gradual
IL but constantly put into use.
When the United States entered the war
in 1917, the Government needs were, OF
course, given precedence and only small
part of the available raw materials manu-
factured from that date until the signing
of the armistice was allotted to telephone
companies.
