Railroad Services Must Be Improved
BY Consumers Union

Railroad Services Must Be Improved
Over 100000 railroad men have
lost their jobs since 1920, Consumer,
Union points out in a series Of
articles by two railroad authoritie,
on what ails the railroad industry
Passenger traffic has declined, anc
since 1888 American roads have beer
losing as much as $500, 600, 900 {
year on passenger service.
Yet Americans travel at least fouI
times as much as they did at the
height of railroad passenger pros
perity. They are using automobiles
and BUSES, while passenger coaches
roll along five-sixths empty.
Why has railroad travel fallen off?
High rates, obsolete equipment and
poor service drive away the Gus
toners. The roads may reply that
they r already losing money on
their passenger service and can't
afford to lower rates or improve the
service. But, the writers argue, it's
possible to improve the service, in
crease the revenue and bring this
important industry back to the posi-
ton of public service it should
occupy.
Experiments already tried by sew
eral roads indicate that straight l
cent a mile fares, instead of the
present 2B-cent basic fare with
exorbitant additional charges for
Pullman travel) may quintuple pas
senger traffic. Modern, air-condi-
toned, high-speed trains, now highly
advertised but hard to find, will
attract enough additional passengers
to pay for themselves several times
over. Single unit motor rail cars
with Diesel electric motors can pro-
vide comfortable, air-conditioned,
fast travel even on short local runs,
at % cents a mile operating costs
instead of the AZ cents a mile used
up by old style equipment.
The railroads talk about new pas
senger equipment but install very
little of it. Consumers Union articles
demonstrate that only one out of
every % trains running is a modern
train. Only 5 per cent of locomo-
tives have been built since 1929; SO
per cent date from before the war.
To compete effectively with auto
travel, railroads should make it pos
sible for the passenger to take a
train, instead of Catching it as he
now does. Railroads can, if they
will, pick up the passenger at his
home, relieve him of all the fussy
details of securing tickets and check
ing baggage, deliver him and his
baggage to his street and number
destination after a comfortable,
speedy, tipless ride. That is not fan
tastic wishful thinking, but the sober
report of a federal Investigation.
Such Improvements, Consumers
Union believes, would enable the
to re-employ many of the
of men who lost their jobs,
would create new jobs and new
business in equipment building,
would provide decent salaries, in
stead of tips to railroad porters,
walters and sleeping car attendants.
In so doing, they would contribute
materially to national recovery. And
they would provide convenient, safe
and comfortable travel to millions
of Americans.

Bunker Hill staged one of its justly famous Independence day parades yesterday and the whole community augmented by dele- gations from other sections of the city turned out "t0 go to town" in big way. The parade was one of the largest and best in years. Glancing to few of the pictorial records of the celebration, we present first those grotesque figures in the upper photo. They are members of the Bunker HiM Mems league, including Henry Ross, c. H. Sage, G. II. Sachlogh, E. M. Knutson, R. B. Story, c. c. Harlow, E. w. Rogers, F. D. Green and Leonard WeltOn.
 In the center row, we present Mrs. Jane BrOphy, driving Dob- lin along streets famiiiar to Mrs. Br0phy, but perhaps strange to the grand old steed. The two little girls are Miss Justine Ma iOney, daughter of MT. and Mrs. E. Vincent Maloney of Circuit ave- and Miss Betty Brophy, daughter of MT. and Mrs. James P. Br0phy of Watert0wn. Miss MalOney was one of the prize winners of the day.
 In the lower left we have mixed group of principals in the Parade of the Horribles". On al other occasions they are Bunker HiIl's outstanding residents, whose likenesses would be recognized in- stantIy by hundreds of friends If presented in the press.
 In the adjoining oval, center, are the three Cassidy children, mem- bers of the family of MT. and Mrs. Thomas P. Cassidy. A young friend, name unknown for the present kindly consents to hold their pony when the canary sings and the camera clicks.
 On our extreme right the Mys- tery Pals are staring right at you. Do you know 'em? They saw you if you were along the line of march yesterday.
