Paid for Outside Work Higher
Than Own Shop Figures.

have added to denials made their refu-
tations OF charges that railroads have
been engaged In farming out their re-
pair Jobs for greater prices than they
could have been accomplished for m
their own shops.

give details of the repair work done
for their lines by outside shops. In
commenting on those letters Mr.. Guy
Ter said: "In the unexampled traffic
congestion of 1920 the railroads took
steps which 1t would have been almost
criminal neglect not to have taken. for
the country's business was suffering
great losses"
st. Paul, Mr. Byram said that work
was done by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works on twenty st. Paul engines
which was not ordinary repair work,
but which meant their complete recon-
struction. This work could not be
done as economically in our own shops
as at the Baldwin works. where they
were built" he said.
Hale Holden. president OF the Burling-
ton, said that the Baldwin Locomotive
Works repaired seven and the Daven-
port Locomotive Works seventeen of
that roads engines. The situation In
dicated that during the previous two
years the condition of our engines was
below normal" said Mr.. Holden. land
so many required overhaulng we would
be unable, with our own facilities and
considering our other limitations, to
satisfactorily handle the heavy traffic
through the winter"
w. II. Finley, OF the Chicago North
western, said that the first of the loco
motives to be repaired in outside shops
was sent out by the Railroad Admins
tration and that altogether the Admin
istration sent out thirty-five engines fol
repairs and that the company had sent
out thirty. The repairs were made by
the American Locomotive Company.
Henry Walters. chairman of the At.
lantic Coast Line Railroad Company
said that thirty locomotives. needing the
heaviest of repairs. were sent to the
Baldwin Locomotive Works on the best
terms that could be made with the re-
pair company. "It was impossible for us
10 keep up at our shops with the re
auirement OF repairs to meet the power
demanded" said Mr.. Walters.
