A DEAD LOSS TO INDUSTRY
(Chicago Tribune

The Illinois Central railroad appeals
to shippers to eliminate an economic
waste amounting last year to $1O4,-
39S,930 on the railroads of this country
through insufficient or improper pack
ing and loading of commodities for
railroad transportation. That amount
of money was paid out by the class 1
railroads Of the country for damages.
That much of the loss is unnecessary
and due simply to carelessnses or in
efficiency is shown by comparison with
the figures of 1916, when the total OF
such damages amounted to $23.S46,965
or more than sS0,OO0,00O less than
last year.
There is in the figures and the APP
peal tip not only for manufacturers
and shippers but for rail road en-
ployees. This sum of more than $780,
100000 annually is dead loss to the
railroads and to the public throu gh the
destruction or damage of property. 1t
cuts down the net revenue of the car
riers and indirectly results in higher
freight rates and lower wages. That,
in turn, depresses every line of bus
mess.
If shipping clerks would remember
these facts every time they pack a
shipment of goods; il truckers would
remember it every time they take such
goods to freight car for shipment; if
freight handlers would remember it
every time they load car. and if
switchmen, brakeman, and engineers
would remember it in the handling of
grains, that vast sum might go even
tually into their pay envelopes.
1t is the inefficiency as we'll as the
wage per hour of workmen which
