Abnormal Winter Weather Will Be Reflected In Frightened Train Schedules This Spring

standing hy for emergency service If a piece of equipment breaks down or Q train fails to arrive In time to be turned around and started back, 10 no longer k possible to pull rec serve equipment out of storage and 20 ahead on schedule,
 So even before the northeastern hllEsards arrived, trains were run- ming late. Often they were leaving terminals behind schedule: they lost time at stations, In spite of slowed down running schedules; they came to over.worked sections of track and had to dawdle along in procession.
 When traiflc was normal, the lee. way between trains ordinarily was great enough so that Q delayed train would cause little disruption, Now one train badly behind, may stall trafilc for scores or hundreds of miles.
 BUILD UP PERSONNEL
 The roads have succeeded in building up their personnel far more than their equipment, though not in proportion to traffic increases, They have lost thousands of ex- perienced men to the armed forces and to better-paylng war industries, They have replaced these by up- grading, by making apprentices into journeymen, and by hiring green employees.
 The Railroad Retirement Board reports, as of the end of i044, Q shortage of 84,954 men. The rela- tive inexperience of many, in the jobs they now i'll, undoubtedly has something to do with delays with minor breakdowns, with a substantial increase in the mum. Der of accidents reported to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 Even after allowing for the in- creased mileage of trains, the number of accidents involving more than $l50 damage to rail- road property has gone up about 30 per cent since 1889. ICC reports in- dicate that manpower failure has R dlsproportionate responsibility for l this increase.

Ny S, BURTON HEATH NEA Stan Correspondent

New York, March lS -. The ab. normally severe winter just passing in the northeast has disrupted pas senger schedules east of the Mis- sissippi, has complicated those far- ther west, and has brought about Q nationwide shortage of freight cars.
 Until the bllazards arrived that made this the worst winter in al- most half a century, in the east ern snow belt, the railroads were getting by pretty well in spite of the enormous traffic they were handling with inadequate equip ment and depleted personnel.
 The blizzards would have caused some trouble anyway, but they found the transportation systems already up to their ears in over work, and for time they tied things up thoroughly.
 RUN MORE TRAINS
 In order to accommodate the passenger and freight loads put upon them, the roads have had to do certain rather obvious things = run more trains; put more cars behind each locomotive; drive each locomotive, and each crew, further each day; pack more freight or more human beings into each car
 They have frightened up sched- ules so that many key sections are handling more trains than they were intended to run. On It's Washington division, where the Southern used to handle 65 trains day, 1t now runs ll0. On It's Baltimore division, where the Baltimore and Ohio used to have 62 trains n day, 1t now has i47. The Pennsylvania is running 239 trains day between Altoona and Pittsburgh, which used to accom- modate only l78 day; 26i trains
