dent Of tho Union Pacific sy.-
tenn. in bis monthly statement
Heretofore" says Gray. atbers
has been a widespread car short.
age during each fall harvest. Last
year II was 10000 cars, but .bix

Gray calls attention TO the M

10 reduce the number OF cars and'
build up coal storage ahead of.tlme
10 that cars would be available
for the peak period. All these ob.
)ectiyes have been substantially at
tanned. says Mr. Gray, who calls
tho showing remarkable.
Specifically. the statement points
out that the roads Increased tho
average daily movement OF freight
cars from % miles per car per day
IN 1921 TO 29.5 miles: they reduced
the number Of locomotives and cars
requiring repairs TO 1877 and 81
per cent respectively: and stored
more coal than in any previous
year.
In fulfilling this program" Cray
says. 1855 new freight cars and
1858 new locomotives were put in
service during the first 10 months
this year. larger number than in
a similar period within the last de-
cade."
The roads are spending more
than billion dollars this year says
tho statement. for new equipment
end other improvements. thus full
filling for the first time in IL years
the prophecy OF James j. Hill. the
great railroad builder OF the North
west. that the roads must spend a
billion dollars every year to keep
abreast OF the country's growing
traffic.
The statement says that this si,-
i0a.o00.o00 being spent for additions
and betterments is almost entirely
new or borrowed money and that
the expenditure Is predlcated on
the inherent faith in the AmerIcarl
people and their desire for fair
play.
Even this year" says Gray. 1T

roads win earn the 5.T5 per cent
on their valuation which the law

mission permit. but which is not
guaranteed because II they do not
earn 1, they do not get Il"
The statement ends with the re-
ulindcr that "anti-raiIroad laws pro-
dtine no freight cars"
