NEW Y.pjtrh-, "March 17 New York Lirrucing the worst housing crism ita hisUry. Apartments 'are virtu ally unobtainable. Three hundred thou sand persons enough to fill 75,000 more apartments than are available are crowded into the city to swell ita normal number of home renters. The causes are: The building of new apartments to keep pace with the growing popula tion has been virtually suspended for" two or three years. j Sixty thousand families, or about 200,000 persons, have moved here, some to await the return of soldiers Fifty thousand are kept here on government worker as agents of for eign interests. Another 50,000 have 'come through the usual channels of migration. Kvery new hotel is filled before the ileeorators are through, W. A. Robertson, chief inspector of the tenement house department, be lieves a serious situation next autumn can be averted only by the execution of some comprehensive housing plan to be undertaken by the city or federal government. Federal Control Fails. A group of unhappy commuters was sitting in a b tailed train out on the Jersey meadows the othei; morn ing. The quarrel of the harbor boat operators and their employes had again left us without ferry service. Why doesn't Uncle Sam operate the ferries, too, and stop this foolishness : demanded ono irritated passenger. 'Humph!" grunted another, draw ing u typewritten sheet from his pock et. ''I used to believe in government operation, too, till 1 read that." It was a summary in which Julius Kruttschnitt, president of the South ern 1'ncific compnny, in his testimony before the senate committee on inter stnto commerce had packed the re suits of the final nine months of rail road operation under private operation and the first none months under gov ernment operation into a convenient nutshell, as follows: 1. A larger volume of freight traf fie handled under private control than H the, some JFVw .under government ontrol, ('',': 2. Under private control the larg est volume of freight traffic ever handled in any one month. X Loaded car mileage 7.5 per cent larger than under government control 4. Greater number of londed can per train than under goveiiment con trol. . 5. Miles run per locomotive per day 7.2 per cent higher than under government control. G. Miles run per freight car pel day G.l per cent higher than under government control. 7. The physical condition of tft freight locomotives better than under government control. 8. The condition of freight carp equally as good as under government control. ''That converted me," said the own er of the typewritten sheet, "so I had a set of copies made and hand out onr every ttme I hear the suggestion that home hWving attended school" W?re the pasf three months.
