Figures
What They Mean
By A. A. PATTON.


NEW YORK, April 2l.-More To-
comotives were delivered to railroads
during the first quarter this year than
in any similar period since 1880. Ship
ments topped the 1887 quarter by one
third.
The Commerce Department reported
yesterday SO locomotives were shipped
by manufacturers in the first three
months, against II last year. March
deliveries totaled 48, compared with
Is in February and 36 in March a
year ago.
This does not seem to jibe with the
low level of rail income, smallest in
20 years, which has resulted in a dras-
tic curtailment of equipment pur-
chases in recent months The anom-
ally is explained, however, by the
length of time required to complete
an engine after the order is placed.
Trade circles point out locomotives
delivered in the past few months were
ordered late in 1886 or early last year
when income and profits of the car
riers were still rising from the previous
depression.
Actual orders placed for such equip
ment have been cut sharply from last
years level. The Association of
American Railroads recently stated
only 36 engines were ordered in the
first quarter against l0S last year.
Although the stream of locomotives
from the. various factories scattered
over the country was relatively high in
recent months, most observers believe
the peak has been passed. The best
1887 month, October, saw 81 delivered
to carriers This is substantially
above the current level and backlogs
have slumped sharply since that time.
Demand for new traction equipment
has, however, held up better than de-
mand for freight cars. Thus, whereas
orders for the former were 80 per
cent of the 1887 figure in the first
quarter, freight cars ordered were only
3 per cent of the previous year-820
against 27,6OO.
The reason for this, analysts hold. is
that new locomotives can be expected
to save from 10 to Is per cent in op-
Grating costs, while savings from new
freight cars would be limited. There
fore, with very little cash available
for the purchase Of new equipment.
locomotives we're an almost unanimous
choice.
A recent survey by Standard Statis-
tics Co. estimated 10 per cent of all
the locomotives now in service are
over 18 years old. During this period
tremendous Neurological progress has
been made. Mechanical stoking has
cut fuel costs substantially, as has
superheating and increases in possi-
BILE steam pressure. while integrated
frames have reduced repair expense.

Sunday Ban Sought.

England's new Sunday Trading Re-

indignation among storekeepeVs and

because of it. Customers have joined
the protest and it is expected 5000, 900
signatures will be attached to petitions
for repeal. Small storekeepers in South
London have been hit especially hard
and many declare they will have to
go out of business. Stores at holiday

BERLIN, Oct 22.-The residents of
Sudetenland may choose their deputies
next month for Reichsfuehrer Htler's
non-debative parliament in the substi-
tuition of civil rule for military in the
newest part of Germany.
No general election for complete
renewal of the Reichstag, Hitlers
sounding board, will be held. officials
said-only the inhabitants of Sudeten-
land will vote on the as yet unde-
termined election day
In this and other respects the an
nexation Of the former Czechoslovak
territory and it's predominant Germanic
minorities will differ from the annexa-
ton Of Austria.
When Austria was annexed all
greater Germany voted on expansion
Of the Reichstag and rendered virtu-
ally unanimous ia" on the question of
approving the anschluss.
Approval Not Question.
In Sudetenland voters will not be
asked whether they approve the union
won by the four-power Munich Con-
ference, officials said, adding, This
would be superfluous."
The Sudeten German party, led by
Konrad Henlein, now German COM
missioner for Sudetenland, was being
taken over by the German National
Socialist (NazD party. The Sudeten-
land election will not be held until
the absorption has been completed
Not all Sudeten party members were
being accepted by the Nazis. Henlein's
lists were carefully checked, and only
those members adjudged as deserving
Nazi party membership were being
accepted.
1t was assumed that most of the
Sudeten deputies who formerly sat in
the Czechoslovak Parliament at
Prague and helped lead in the minor
ity campaign against the Prague gov
ernment will be honored with seats in
the Reichstag,
Trains Expected TO Resume.
Railway traffic between Germany
and Czechoslovakia was expected to
be resumed next week. Members of

sion said they hoped through trains
between Berlin and Vienna via Prague
could start running within five or six
days"
Czechoslovaks We're returning some
rolling stock which they took with
them in the evacuation Of Sudeten-
land. French and British representa-
tives supported the German view that
the equipment belonged to the Sude-
tens because they helped pay for it in
taxes and otherwise.
The new border between Czechoslo-
vakia and Germany was thrown open
today to free trade for an unspecified
period but the order on this side Of
the border applied only to Sudeten-
land-not the rest Of Germany
Czechoslovak goods were flowing
duty free, into Sudetenland, and Su-
deten goods were going into Czecho-
slovakia just as they did before the
Germans marched in early this month.
