Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1921-08-26
FRIDAY, AUGUST &c, 1921

short time ago we read pamphlet that
gave comparison of the rates charged the gov
eminent by several eastern railroads for over
hauling and repairing their engines in their
own shops and the prices charged by the Bald
win Locomotive Works for precisely the same
kind of work and the same period of tine name
ly, during the time that the railroads were undeE
government control and their bills paid by the
people, number of distinct instances were
given and in every case showed the work to have
been done by the Baldwin works for about one
third Of what Uncle Sam was soaked by the roads
maintaining their own shops The average bill
rendered to the government was $4,000 while
the charge was about $1,000 The figures bear
out recent statements of Henry Ford who became
the owner of a run down raiload last year and
by the application of Ford business methods has
made the road pay something that old railroad
heads said it was impossible to do In additionsto
raising the wages of every employee he has &C
complished many other things such as reducing
freight rates, more than doubling the daily mile
age of freight cars and such provoking incidents
as happened to us few weeks ago when barre
of gasoline ordered from Amigo and billed out
from that station, failed to arrive and finally at
ter two weeks of tracing was found quietly rest
ing in the freight room at the starting point.
Ford has eliminated such vexatious occurrences
other roads could do the same if more attention
was given providing efficient service and less to
the task Of paying big dividends to the roads
stockholders. A large railroad system is an I'M
weildy affair and naturally accumulates an over
weight Of non-eficiency all along the various de-
partments Of activity, even when intended to pro-
duce an opposite effect. For instance, it has been
the tendency among railroads of late years to in
crease the size weight ETC., of their roadbeds and
rolling for the purpose of hauling bigger trains
and more tonnage. Ford contends that this is
one of the great leaks in railroad operation and
that as a rule a 75-ton engine will accomplish
more and do it cheaper and last longer than the
2OO-ton type now generally used and he intends
to produce an engine of the lighter type that will
revolutionze the entire railroad business. In
one way his statements sound feasible as it has
been since railroads adopted their present equip
ment of short cuts, regardless of cost finely bal
lasted road BEDS and heavy, expensive rolling
stock, that we began hearing SO much about their
financial difficulties and hard luck stories general
ly.
