Ford spent and is continuing to
spend millions of dollars in his eff

most efficient short line IN the coun-

He has cleaned up the entire sys-
TEN of ASS miles from Detroit to
Ironton, O., modernized the road
bed, rebuilding the structures con-
nected with the road, making short
cuts building new bridges, renew
ing and polishing up locomotives and
adding thousands of freight cars and
other new equipment.
Ford is encouraging his em~
ployes to invest in the road-and
it's a paying proposition.
He has stopped operation on Sun
days.
He has nickel-plated the locomo-
lives and furnished comfortable
seats for the engineers.
He is open to all sorts of sugges-
tions from his help.
He has raised pay and lowered
freight rates.
Ford runs his road on the open
shop plan, although most of the
trained workers are members of
the railroad brotherhoods. He pays
the men considerably higher than
the scale, but they are compelled to
work out their allotted days time
regardless of what their regular as
signment might be, say railroad
brotherhood officials. -

which has already begun to mate
rialize. They are:
/. Double tracking
2. Electrification.
The entire road was single track
when Ford bought it in July, 1920.
Now he has a double line running
between his River Rouge plant, jusc
outside Detroit and Flat ROCKS
Mich, 1876 miles farther south. 1t
was the first short cut he had made
on the road, eliminating considera-
Bile switching of cars from one road
to another and producing faster ser
vice.
OF this same stretch OF road, Ford
plans to experiment with electric To-
comotives. Generators are already
being built in the River Rouge
plant. The water power is ready a.:
Flat Rock. All he needs are the
electric locomotives and the power
lines. These he expects to have
installed by May, according to lat
est plans.
Whether Ford will go through
with both these dreams. for the en-.
tire system, is a question no one
. here would essay to answer. Every
one shakes his head obviously.
And Ford remains silent.
