What It Means? The Railroad Crisis!

process had brought rails to S28

air brake brought trains under
scientific control for the first
time. Block signals reduced &C
cidentS. Pullman cars changed
night travel from nightmare to
comfort.
8. Railroad workers and man.
agements produced the genius
ard organization to operate the
largest railroad network on the
earth with speed and efficiency.
Three ways have been propos-
ed to save the railroads. There
are arguments against all three.
l. Voluntary consolidation with
government supervision over all
transportation.
Consolidation would eliminate
the waste of duplicate lines and
labor costs, and keep buses,
planes, etc., in fair competitive
positions.
But who will pay off the in
vestors in strapped railroads?
With few takers low, where are
the railroads to find new inves-
tors to finance mergers? How
about the communities that
would be cut off from railroad
connections? What are you going
to do with the thousands of wor-
kers who would have to be dis
charged? And what if the rail-
roads just won't consolidate?
2. Consolidation under gov
eminent compulsion.
Here you have all the diff
culties brought up in plan No. l.

stitution, which says you can't

perry without due process of law.
An act of Congress is not necess-
arly due process-at least, not un-
til the whole fight would be
threshed out in the courts for
several years.
3. Government ownership.
The railroads represent an in
veStment, according to govern
ment figures, of some S25,000,-
600, 900. The people and corpor-
atoms who now have their money
in railroads would have to be paid
if the government took them over.
Part of this payment and the
railroad debts as well would have
to become a public debt, and the
national budget is already carry
ing depression burden.
Then, too, government owner
ship has never been long-term
paying investment in any coun-
try. The federal government sank
something like a billion dollars in
to its operation of the railroads
in this country during the World
war.

But Crisis Continues
Yes, the railroad crisis is still
with us, and will be the next
time you pick up a paper. But
meanwhile, Congress will have
to find a temporary solution, or
else the railroads will face the
wringer in the midst of a recess
sion. That probably means gov
eminent loans to buy equipment
and pay bills-for the time being.
Then, when economic skies are
a little clearer and the 1888 Con-
gressional elections are out of the
way, the government may tackle
the railroad crisis in earnest.

Washington-f you can't make
head or tail of that railroad crisis
the President tossed to Congress
the other day, console yourself.
Some of the worlds ablest fin
anciers and the cream of railroad
genius have been trying to solve
ore railroad crisis after another
for more than a hundred years.
It's a wonder the railroads are
still with us.
They have competed with each
other ruthlessly; they have been
hit by competition from buses,
automobiles, trucks, airplanes,
pipelines and electric power lines.
They have been in seven finan-
cial panics since 1887, with inves-
tors bearing the brunt each time.
They have borne regulation
good, bad and indiferent-from
48 states and the federal govern
ment.
Through the years, taxes and
labor costs have scared; today
the railroads are paying annually
! $24O,00O,000 in taxes, $4,000, OO0,-
900 in wages.
Why They Survived
The railroads have survived
and held their place as basic
industry, still as important as its
recent rival, the automobile, fol-
these reasons:
l. The American public needed
rapid transportation to develop
this young and amazingly rich
nation. The railroads were the
answer.
2. Railroad inventive genius
constantly figured out ways te
cut costs and increase safety ano
comfort. The first steel rails cost

The Air Force of the United States
Army recently conducted extensive
war game maneuvers for seven days
along the Atlantic seacoast from
Maine to Georgia, with Mitchell Field,
Long Island, serving as the headquar
ters. Having decided upon a ground
plan and designated air bases and
facilities, which included a network
of Bell System teletypewriter circuits,
Mai. Gen. Frank M. Andrews put the
Air Corps into air en- masse, various
planes taking part from airfelds as
distant as California, Texas and Lo-
uisiana. These planes were laden with
more than 5000 men and three mil
lion pounds of baggage and the spec
tacular maneuvers employed the most
modern equipment and the latest in
aerial operations. In all, some 22O
planes of many types participated.
While these focks of planes were
busily engaged in protecting the
American coast from the enemy"
their operations were being coordinat-
ed and directed by means of a net
work of forty-fve teletypewriters con-
nected hv o'''c'-;'7 t9talino approxi-

emergency telephone and teletype
equipment, which provided the main
communications link for the various
units participating in the air maneu-
vers. Within one month from the re-
ceipt of the Army's order, which in
cluded forty-five sending and receiving
teletypewriters, the system was in
stalled and tested out; about one week
later it was in actual service. Due to
their close proximity to the Army's
radio stations, each teletypewriter had
to be completely filtered to prevent any
interference with the radio signals.
According to Col. Lewis the teletype-
writer system handled an average of
10000 words a day and on one day
he estimated that it handled 10000
words.
While the results of every phase of
the maneuvers will be subjected to a
minute scrutiny by the Army high
command before any conclusions are
arrived at, it is understood that the
teletypewriters proved extremely ade-
quate as vehicles of communication
no small accomplishment where they
had to keep up with the operations of
planes that hit speeds Of more than
250 miles per hour.
