WILL OFFER PLANS
TO CUT DOWN HIGH
COST OF LIVING
Leaders of Electrical Industry
to be Told Way to
Lower Prices.

PASADENA. Calf. May IS. -
Three hundred or more leaders OF
the electrical industry OF the United
States. here for the opening Of the
four-days' convention OF the National
Electric Light association, will lis
ten 20 plans TO cut the high-cOst-
of-livins by electrifying railroads
and uniting physically all the cleo
trio power companies in the United
States.
Increased. efficient and econom-
ical production alone IS the solution
Of the high-cost- living problems"
declared NJ. II. Aylesworth, Of New
York. executive manager Of the as
ISOLATION. in outlining the subjects
10 be discussed at the convention.
Output thus could be increased
without increasing the number Of
men employed but by diverting the
channel OF their energies"
Is Bound TO Come.
Mr. Aylesworth said electrifcation
or railroads was bound 10 come.
Eliminate the necessity OF railroads
hauling coal for their own use" he
said. and. with their present equip
ment. they could handle more than
twice the normal freight traffic Of
the country. Spoilage OF perishable
crops would be lessened and speed
in shipments would help TO stabilize
prices by more nearly meeting the
law Of supply and demand. Electro
fcation OF the railroads will mean
the saving of millions OF dollars and
the conservation OF enormous guam
titles OF coal each year"
Mr.. Ayiesworth said that a com
mittee representing the association,
which has been cooperating with the
secretaries OF the navy, war, treas
ury. labor and commerce. had made
a survey Of the electrical resources
OF the nation Ito devise means Of
increasing the capacity reserve" and
that their report would shed new
light aad power lines" he said, al
ready has been ordered by several
state public utility commissions. We
expect this action TO be emulated by
other commissions because IL means
better and more continuous service
for the public and more economical
operation OF the individual COM
panies by tending to equalize the
power load factor. BY this physical
iLterconnection. individual compan-
les having surplus electric energy
would furnish the surplus to ad-
iOcent companies having greater cuS-
toner demand than capacity. In
terruptions 10 service through break
downs. fuel shortage or water power
failure also would be minimized."
The national public policy COM
mittee of the association, which will
make it's recommendation to the
convention, is composed of John A.
