Would Replace Trains.

The present move is typical of SINH
lar steps being taken by railroads all
over the country. Railroad officials in
many instances declare bus competi-
ton is running their profits. 1T is
getting to n point" said q Reading
official today, where steam trains are
losing tremendous sums of money by
bus competition. 1t is up to us to
meet this competition, or go out of
business"
The Reading bus program would
eliminate 164 1916 passenger train miles
year and substitute 265,647 bus miles.
This stand is resented by bus men
and truck manufacturers.
