Santa Fe Reports Huge Reduc-
ton in Loss and Damage.
Claims This Year so Per Cent
Under Those of 1921.

The Santa F'e system is making a
wonderful record in the reduction of
loss and damage claims, according to
a report which has just been issued
By H. c. PribbIe, general claim agent.
for the first six months OF the year
1922.
: The report shows that the payments
made during the first half of the cur
rent year were just 40 percent of the
amount paid out during the CORE
spending period in 1921. or in other
words, the reduction amounted to so
per cent, a showing which Mr.. Prib-
BILE doubts has been equaled by any
other railroad in the United States
2 During the first six months of last
Year, the Santa FEES freight revenue
was $73. 6s0,e41.53, and it paid out in
loss and dana ge claims $2,0s5. 034.56
for ratio of 2.SS per cent. In the
sf,me period this year, the ratio of
loss and damage claims to the freight
revenue was only 1.27 per cent, the
payments having been reduced to
$3.50, 41O.O7, compared with az freight
revenue OF S65,547. 563-S4-
{ These figures are not only gratifying
to the claim department and the
Santa Fe. but are equally important
to shippers who may readily see that
where they had five chances of hay-
ing their shipments damaged or lost
IRst year, only two chances exist at the
nresent time.
Federal Control Costly.
During the war and years following
under federal control, the santa F'e's
lpss and damage claims reached a
figure never before known. In one
year the ratio to freight revenue went
as high as 2.99 per cent, and during
one period of six months it reached
313 per cent. The bill was almost

being paid out for the careless han

of its employees and fix the response

But the goal has not yet been
ached. Mr.. Pribble says that the
company's pre-war ratio of loss and
damage to freight revenue was only

fighting to again reach that mark and
Mr.. Pribble is confident that the ratio
for the entire year of 1921 will not
be over 1 per cent.
