RAIL ROADS PRESENT
CONDITION IS BLAMED
ON FEDERAL CONTROL
tBs The Associa.ed Press.

Washington, April 13.-Grounds
for the declaration that the rail-
road administration failed to turn
back the railroads to their ownel .
in a condition to be self sustaining
was declared today by Chairman
Cummins of the senate interstate
commerce committee to have been
established during the committees
inquiry into general railroad con-
ditions.
Such declaration, made today by
Julius Kruttschnitt. chairman of
the Southern Pacific board in com
pleting his testimony before the
committee, and previously made by
other witnesses, drew supporting
responses from Chairman Cummins
and also from Senator Pomerene,
democrat, Ohio, both of whom said
the railroads were bearing the
blame which should be charged
against the railroad administra-
ton.
1.-THE most serious complaint
against the railroad administra-
ton" Chairman Cummins said,
lilies in the fact that it did not re-
turn the railroads in a condition to
be self sustaining. 1t ought to have
established rates before returning
them that would have made the
railroads reasonably self-sustain-
ing. 1t not only imposed on the
railroads a most unpopular and
unnecessary duty (of asking rate
increases) but imposed on congress
the necessity of providing guar
antee for the six months following
federal control"

costs of operating gas and electric
autos as compared to horses. The
results convinced them that, for
anything under twenty miles a day
the horse is more economical"
While it is doubtless true that,
here and there, individual firms
have found it more convenient and
economical to use the horse instead
of the motor for delivery purposes.
the fact remains that the truck
horse is fast passing out of exist
ence. In a few more years. wheth-
err legislation forces the issue or
not. probably he will be as obso-
lete as the horse car. Gradually
the largest business houses of the
country have sold their horses and
introduced motor trucks into their
delivery systems. Moreover. sta.
tjstics, of which the Horse associa.
ton appears to be so fond, show
that the number of horses in In
dustry is decreasing at a rapid
pace.
In 1910. for example. when the
great motorization of American be-
gan, there were 12S.224 horses on
the stree,s or New York. BY 1920,
single decade later, there were
only 1910. and this year the num-
Der has been reduced to 62,254. A
similar reduction has occurred in
every other large American city.

road depots are centrally located.
This means that trucking COM
panies in New York have a max
imum amount to handle with a
minimum length of haul.
THE congestion in the business
sections of the city. where most of
the trucking is done, makes travel
necessarily slow. The exclusive
use of automobiles in place of
horses in these areas would in
crease the congestion, without
noticeable speeding up of traffic.
Horses are more easily stopped and
started than motor trucks. Think
of how difficult it would be to de-
liver milk by motor.
Furthermore" continues Mr..
Dinsmore, Statistics do not bear
out Mr. Harriss' statement that the
automobile is now cheaper than the
horse for every kind of vehicular
use. Figures are available which
show that the actual cost of operat-
| ing five-ton gas truck for a nine
hour day equals $26.25 as against
$13.05 for the cost of operating one
five-ton two-horse wagon truck
for the same period.

of the American Institute of Meat
Packers made an exhaustive in
vestisation of the comparative

TRUCK HORSES
DISAPPEARING
FROM STREETS
FREDERIC j. HASKIN.

New York City, April 1S.-The
truck horse may be SLOW but at
least his exit from New York will
be speedy, if the traffic improve
ments recently proposed by DR..
John A. Harriss speclaI deputy po-
lice commissioner of traffic here,
are put into effect.
81 believe" says DR.. Harriss,
THAT a law should be passed at
once putting an end to the use of
horses in Manhattan by 1925. That
would give the owners of horses
warning and allow plenty of time
in which to dispose Of their ami
mails The horse is too slow. 1t
slows down on traffic everywhere.
The automobile is now cheaper
than the horse for every kind of
vehicular use"
Since DR.. Harriss is the man
who introduced, as an experiment
at his own expense, the traffic
towers which have brought order
out of chaos on Fifth avenue, his
Judgment is much respected. If
he asserts that the horse-drawn
vehicle is clogging the city's traf
flee arteries, the public is willing
to concede that he knows what he
is talking about. But the Horse
Association of America is not. 1t
has come forward with loud pro-
test, backed BIZ private testimonials
and statistics.
Business men in New York know
that it is ridiculous to talk of speed
ing up traffic by the elimination of
the horse" declares Mr.. Wayne
Dinsmore, secretary or the associa-
ton. "Only the other day, the
transportation manager of one of
New York's largest ice companies
declared that better time could be
made in the downtown districts
with a team than with q motor
truck. and in actual delivery work
there Is no comparison between
the two.
Statistics show that without
exception horses are the cheapest
to operate, the longest to live and
the easiest to handle on all short
hauls in cities where frequent stop
work and deliveries within RAJ
dius Of 10 miles from the heart of
the city are essential.
Big Loads, Short Hauls.
Consider the situation of the
trucking companies, for example.

GREAT BRITAIN
WILL PAY DEBT
To j. G., CLAIMS
London Paper Says There
Has Never Been Any
Doubt About EnqIand's
Intentions in the Matter.
(By The Associated pressD

London, April 13 (by the Assocl-
ated Press. )-There has never been
the slightest doubt that Great Brit
ain would repay her American
debt ito the uttermcst farthing,
declares the Spectator today. the
sooner the matter is placed on a
clear and businesslike footing, the
better, it declares, adding that al
ready there has been a great deal
too much discussion on the subject.
The Spectator emphasizes that
the United States should be treated
as having peen an obliging friend
and that payment should be settled
primarily to suit Americas con
Venience.
ANY British government" it
says, which proposed to try to
wriggle out of our obligation or to
ask the American government to
let us off, or inflict any other
humiliation of this kind upon us,
would be driven from office with
ignominy."
This periodical adds that this
does not mean Great Britain is too
proud to accept help from America,
but rather that, should it ever be
necessary, Great Britain could and
would accept it. The determine
ton to pay debts, it says, is due to
self respect, not to "a surly feeling
that we don't want to let anybody
do US kindness"
The Spectator suggests that the
/. debtor and creditor treasurers i'm
mediately discuss the best way
of carrying out the transaction,
the rate of interest and the gen.
eral conditions that would be
most convenient to the United
States. 1t expresses the opinion
. that payment in gold would be
: undesirable to America and sug-
gests terminable rather than per-
petual annuities, or a plan carry
ing an open sinking fund.

FREE COAL SHOVELED
BY PENNSYLVANIANS
LIVING NEAR RIVERS
fRv Associated Pressl

HARRISBURG, Pa. Dec. 2.-The
coal problem this winter is only one
of strong muscles and a vehicle
wheelbarrow, horse and wagon, or a
motor truck for some of those Penn
syivanians whose homes are on the
banks of streams which flow from the
hard coal regions.
River coal-so called because It is
found in the beds of those rivers-is
the solution The coal, in the form
of small particles, finer than the grade
commercially known as buckwheat,
has been used for years, largely by
manufacturing plants, but the fear of
shortage this year has increased house
hold consumption, and many persons
living along streams in which 1t is
found are gathering their own supply
with the use of shovel and cart or
automobile for transportation
The coal is mainly the product of
culm or refuse banks in the vicinity
of mines further up the steams. 1t is
found in the Lehigh, Schuylkiu and
Susquehanna rivers, down which 1t has
been washed in the years since an
thracite mining was begun in Pennsyl-
vania. In many sections of these riv-
ers beds several feet thick have ex-
listed, but commercial dredging and
pumping operations combined with
greater conservation on the part of
mining companies, is reducing the
supply.
Gets Winter Supply.
Householders who have gathered
their own winter fuel from the rivers
have found the coal frequently in ed
dies near the shore, where 1t has been
necessary only to shovel 1t out One
man, living near the Susquehana in
the vicinity of Harrisburg, has OBJ
tanned a complete winter supply at
only the cost Of transportation. Corn
mercially the coal sells for So ton.
Forced draft is required for its use in
household furnaces, and when so used
it produces, 1t is said, as much or
more heat than the grades commonly
sold for household use.
More than a halfmillion tons of riv-
er coal valued at nearly 100000 were
recovered from the Schuylhll, Susque-
hanna and Lehigh rivers in CONNER
cial operations during 1921 state re-
ports show.

1t will mean more and better-built

ment in shop, laboratory, and library
