Railroads do
War Time Job

Americas railroads are per-
forming a "learly miraculous" job
in the present war, Roob II. Allie,
Detroit, publicity director of the
Mic higan Railroads Association,
told the Ypsilanti Rotary Club
Monday.
That the railroads are meeting
the war situation is no empty
boast" he declared Last year
we performed the greatest freight
service ever achieved by any sys-
TEN of railroads in any country in
history. We handled 725 billion
ton-miles OF freight, 1870 more
than in tie former record year.
1912, and / a times that carried in
1918. And we did 1t without a
single major complaint. In all.
43,500,000 carloads of freight were
moved last year. In addition,
passenger miles in 1913 totaled 50
billion, $50 more than in 1912. four
times what il was in 1899 and dou-
Bile what 1t was in 1918. Today We
are carrying three times as many
soldiers and four times as much
military freight as in World War !.
Specifically. here are some of
the things we are doing: Daily
we move 10000 carloads OF freight
into and out OF Army and Navy
camps; 1900 carloads into ports
for export. and 1000 of these car
loads are food for our Allies under
lend-lease. Every week we move
3,400 carloads of food into Army and
Navy training areas and every
month we handle 10000 carloads
of freight for the Navy. Every
month we move 100000 soldiers
in 5000 special trains. In addi-
ton. we are moving the bulk OF
Pacific Coast lumber and canned
goods: all Maine potatoes going
south; all florida citrus fruit.
Caribbean sugar and tropical fruits
coming north from lower Atlantic
and Gulf ports. Every day we
haul an averf re OF 100000 barrels
of oil products TO the Atlantic
Seaboard. We are doing many
unaccustomed and unusual jobs
and doing them well in addition
to our normal activities.
Mr.. Allie asserted there was no
actual breakdown on the railroads
in World War days. THE trouble

misuse. not L proper use. of the
railroads by the government that

Congress May

Washington. Mar. 81 ms -
Leaders OF ma or farm organ "a
tons are considering a change Of
attitude in their fight against con
sumers food subsidies by propos-
ing that Congress itself definitely
state in the extension OF price con
troll what subsidies may be paid.
With congressional sentiment ap.
parently strong for extension OF
price control after the expiration
date June 80. the most formidable
obstacle appeared to he a drive by
some members to prohibit payment
OF food subsidies
One Of the leaders OF a major
organization explained that prev.
iously they favored some subsidies,
such as price supports. and oppos-
ed ''roll-backs" and other consum-
ers' subsidies. This caused them
to be accused OF Inconsistency.
Under the new program. the
farm organiEa cons would state
their position as favoring subsidies
which would encourage produc-
ton but would ask Congress to
definitely state subsidies to be al
lowed instead OF supporting an
anti-subsidy rider" to the price
control bill.
Meantime. demand arose in the
Senate Banking Committee for
modification of the Price Control
Act.
