cites Henry Fora's Efficiency.
Couzens drew On bis former ASST
citation with Henry Ford IN whose
company he vas heavy stakeholder
during the early years Of It's develop
ment, Tor support Of his statements
regarding additional efficiency which
the roads might make possible.
"Mr. Ford has drawn the attention
Of the railroads a number Of times TO
the great necessity Of reducing
weight 80 as to reduce the enormous
amount Of dead tonnage hauled.
"He has pointed the way on
number Of occasions as to how costs
may be reduced without reducing
wages. all Of which should receive the
serious and earnest consideration Of
those who want to solve the problem
and whose diagnosis Il expected to be
relied upon when the operation is
performed at the next session Of Con-
gress."

NEW STRIKE REMEDY
PROVEN USUAL BUNK


CHICAGO, April 5.-PrOf. Henry
M. Herrick, language professor Of
Rockford College, flashes before the
public eye for the moment with a new
strike remedy. He wants an indus
trial reserve army created. This
would be part of the national defense
system and would be used in any part
Of the country.
ut win take but few trained re-
serves to defend our vital industries,
such as mining and transportation"
he said. AS usual, this freak remedy
is no different from other freaks that
are always based on smashing
strike, rather than preventing it by
removing the cause.
With child-like innocence the pro-
lessor believes that a nation OF indus
trial Hessians and strikebreakers,
other than those Of private detectives
and corporations, can be maintained
in this country. He also believes that
a man can step from counting room.
for instance, and start working in q
coal mine with it's falling rock and
its gases, or can extricate railroad
cars from the bewildering maze of a
large freight yard where injury and
death are common occurrences.

/. A loss instead Of a gain In loco
motive performance during the last
is years. A decrease in freight train
miles per locomotive Of 20 per cent,
while the average tractive effort Of
freight locomotives has increased so
per cent.
2. No improvement in net ton miles
per 1000 pounds Of tractive effort
since 1903. Despite the increase Of
power of locomotives. this figure In
1890 was 100000, the same as It had
been II years before.
g. While the. ten most efficient
roads average 77.2 miles per freight
locomotive day, the average for the 80
large roads is e3.4 miles. II the latter
roads averaged as well as the former.
they would save 5000 locomotives
worth $4,000 each or a saving Of
5000, 100000 In capital investment
Two thousand more engines could be
saved in passenger traffic, an added
saving Of $1,000, 900.
4. The ten best roads consume 1907
pounds Of coal per LOCO gross ton
miles, while 40 other large railroads
show an average of 201.T7 pounds.
IL these 40 roads maintained the av-
erage Of the best ten. they would save
11,452,OS3 tons OF coal, an annual
economy Of 45,O0O,OOO. The same
rule applied to passenger locomotives
would save an additional s20,OOO. 900.

Mass Of propaganda AfIoats
There Is an immense am0nnl Of
propaganda even now being cireulaf-
cd IA defense Of the railroads aa now
operated. There are also doma-
gogues going around the country over
stating our railroad difficulties. and
with all Of this It Is going to Be hfd

remedy. 81
From my observations here there
Is an absence Of any discussion e. to
more efficient and economical meth
DDS Of transportation SO Is to reduce
costs. Everyone admits that the cost
is too high, but It seems that most an
OF them are trying to solve It BY what
is always the easiest way-ths reduc-
ton Of wages.
THE first thing that occurs to a
captain Of industry or q railroad man
ager when he wants to reduce cost Is
to cut wages or to increase working
hours at the same wage. It is axiom
attic that most everyone avoids aIl the
work possible. and this applies to
brain workers as well as labor.
why not let US concentrate on
ways and means Of reducing the cost
Of performing transportation service
without having to slash wages ct all?
lnadequacy Of HALL Facilities.
"The inadequacy Of railroad facili-
ties is admitted, and this inadeQuacy
is chiefly responsible for high oper.
ating costs and consequently excess
sIve freight rates. There are volumes
Of testimony in the hands Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and
other bodies IN notification OF this.
No less an authority than President
Rea of the Pennsylvania railroad, i'm
mediately prior to the breakdown Of
the railroads in 1917, declared that
the railroad facilities OF the country
had become so impaired as to consti-
tute a menace, not only to the cause
Of the allies. but to the Industrial and
business ability Of the United States.
Since that time there has been con-
tinual reduction In the annual con-
struction of new lines.
This may seem old stuff but II
is mentioned because so much has
been said about the pre-war condition
of the railroads and the condition Of
railroads when returned to private
1T Is quite common complaint
that while the country seems TO be
exceedingly prosperous and that still
better times are coming, there is a
restlessness and uncertainty on every
hand" he asserted. However, many
viii adopt the. policy of the ostrich
bury their heads in the sand and
fatl to see this restlessness; others
will try to camouflage the situation
by investigating committees that
should be investigated themselves,
and still others will favor boards Of
inquiry that start out with the best
Intentions in the world. but eventual
