RA1RoADING TO VICTORY

This fine tribute to the railroad
industry recently appeared in South
side Virginia News, Petersburg,
Va: much has been said and heard
about production in this war. There
has been terrific drive to stir
industry and workers to manufac-
ture war materials of all kinds-a
public drive which all the people
have listened in .on--and these
groups have won praise from the
government for their splendid per-
formances.
mot much has been said about
the railroads. Perhaps that is be-
cause the railroads required no be-
seeching. OF their own volitiOn,
they have tackled that part of the
war job which they and they alone
could do--and did it! Increasing
their rolling stock, improving their
tracks, subordinating all other
traffic, they have given right of way
to the war, moving men and supplies
to the training camps and then out
to combat stations or points of en-
barkation, moving raw materials to
factories--then, yanking finished
war machines, munitions and equip
ment out of factories, have rushed
them to their destination in the
states and piled them up on wharves
faster than ships can get them
abroad.
"The way this has been done is a
fine testimonial to the ability and
spirit of railroaders, for it has re-
quired extraordinary work of Off
Gals, engineers, trainment dispatch
ers, station agents, freight handlers
and trackmen This is not new
spirit engendered by the war; it is
the traditional spirit of railroaders,
turned to good account in this emer-
gency. If there had not been rail-
roads, and railroad men of such
spirit, what hole we would be in
now that gas and tires are short!
"And the railroads job has but
begun. The country is leading into
what will probably develop shortly
into the greatest transportation
crisis of all time,' writes Wash
ington correspondent. A year from
now every locomotive and every car
will be needed hauling things for
every minute they can put into SER
vice. Pullman cars will be hauling
express: yes. freight"
Answering the Washington CORES
pondent's prediction that conditions
may necessitate the government
taking over theN railroads, the News
concludes; I'VE believe the rail-
roads have proved their ability to
meet even the extraordinary re-
quirements of the war. We'd rather
trust our lives and our property in
transit to railroads handled by rail-
readers than by office holders And
we don't want to see any more of
our democracy side-tracked."
