Southern Pacific system already OPP
crate by electricity. Benefits found
are reduction In fuel cost, in main
tenance cost, elimination of coaling
engines, Increased tonnage per train,
increased speed on grades, increased
reliability, reduced train crews, In
creased safety, reduced damage and
wear on equipment, reduced deprecia-
ton on tracks and improved atmos-
pheric conditions. Noise also is elm
mated. The child OF the future may
not identify a railroad train as a
"choo-choo."
Electric Operation Cheaper.
An operating costs considered, the
experts figure that there is a net saw
ing OF % per cent in electric opera
ton of railroad trains as compared
with steam. An analysis made by the
Norfolk & Western railroad revealed
that the fuel cost of running an cleo
trio locomotive 100 miles was $44.95,
compared with a cost of S72.42 for
a steam locomotive,
II Is estimated that power can be
transmitted by cable for a distance
OF 200 miles before the leakage makes
the transmission wasteful. In many
sections OF the country no railroad
is more than 200 miles distant from a
coal mine. But in the non-coal-produc-
ing regions, the mlne-mouth electrical
plants would be supplemented, under
the plan, by hydro-electric power
plants.
The nation is rich in water power,
by far tie greater part of which is
undeveloped. The general scheme OF
railroad and industrial liberalization
would include greater power develop
ment from the streams. Between
these h~ydro-electric plants and the
coal-consuming power plants the oun
try could be covered with a network
J of power cables which would serve
every purpose.
Some coal movement would con-
tinue, such as that for domestic heat
ing, but the great bulk of the coal
transported to run railroads and fac.
tories would not leave the mines. Its
energy would be shipped by wire.
Such a ~stupendous development
could not be realized in a day. 1t
would be the work of many years, but
with the forces of the government,
supplemented by the support of tho
great Industrial and railroad corpora
tons, it might be a feasible undertake
ing.

Of steam to keep the dynamos turn
ing.
One of the underlying reasons for
discomfort among coal miners and
therefore one of the main causes of
the coal strike is the intermittency in
the industry. The big demand for
coal m in the winter time In the
summer months It falls of. Coal Is
mined as the market calls for It.
Therefore, when the demand is light
there is little mining to be done. The
men are thrown out OF employment.
The result is hat coal miners work
but from 1876 TO 210 days a year.
While their wages. are regarded as
good their work is NOT steady and
therefore their earnings for the year
are not large
1t Is the opinion Of experts that the
coal industry is overmanned. There
are some 100000 men engaged In 1t.
Under the power plan, the intermit-
tency in the work of coal miners
would be eliminated. The coal would
be feeding machines running steadily
and not ar ever-changing o~pen-markei
demand.
Fewer Men Would Be Needed.
The requirements of the power gen
orators could be reckoned In advance
with a fair amount of accuracy and
the coal could be kept coming above
ground regularly all the year round.
Fewer men would be required to take
care Of this production and while the
change would throw many thousands
out of work 1t would b. gradual and
ultimately would result in a clear
economic gain, 1t is claimed. Fewer
men would be doing one branch of
the worlds work. The remainder
would become engaged in other pro-
ductive labor.
The first step In the plan for the
electrifcation Of the nation is the
changing over of railroads from steam
to electric power. The railroads cross
the country In every direction and fhe
cities and Industries which consume
power are built up along their tracks.
Power cables would parallel the
tracks. but would carry so much more
power than would be required for the
railways hat the surplus would be
ample for diversion to the cities en-
route. This would run the mills and
factories, light the cities and furnish
power for municipal traction lines.

rector general OF railroads during

Washington.=A plan for the con-
version of coal into electrical power ut
the mouths Of coal mines and trans
uniting the currents to the Industrial
consuming ceBters has been called to
the attention Of the President, Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover and other
high officials OF the government.
; In proportion TO its value, both In
money and in heating power, coal is
Unfortunately bulky. More than one
third of the total railroad freight OF
tie United States is coal. On some
roads in coal-producing sections coal
amounts TO so per cent of all the
freight hauled. A very large portion
OF this coal is railway fuei-that is,
coal to fire the engines which haul
the trains.
Louis Brande.s. now an associate
Justice of the Supreme court of the
United States. In his brief In the Five
Per Cent case before the interstate
IN commission. estimated that
when all items of cost to the railroads
OF buying and hauling their own coal
were added. the total would be $780,,
100000. Since that estimate vas
made, prices and costs have Increased

To transport coal to meet the Amer.

ployed annually and OF these 1900.
600 cars are employed in hauling coal
and other traffic. These figures have
been filed with the interstate com.
merce commission.
The commiss'o on has found, in one
OF Its Investigations into the coal traf'
nc, that approximately 81 per cent OF
all the coal cars return to the mines
empty.
These figures give an impression OF
the extent to which the transportation
system Is burdcned with the move

how much more railroad equipment
would be available for general freight
