And the Cars Came Railroads Make Good on Promise to Move All Business Offered A low freight rate and no cars in which to ship is as unsatisfactory as a low price for bread and no . bread. Heretofore, fall harvest has brought a widespread shortage. Last year it was 140,000 cars. This year there is generally a surplus of cars throughout the country and especially of box cars in the West and Northwest, notwithstanding the roads are handling the greatest volume of business in their history. For 1923, all the railroads of the United States joined in a co-operative effort and with a defined program to improve traffic conditions and to establish new standards of service, even excelling pre-war records. In fulfilling this program, 134,636 new freight cars and 2,963 new locomotives were put in service between January and October, 1923, a larger number than in any similar period within the past ten years. Remarkable progress has been made in reducing the number of locomotives and cars awaiting repairs, 86.3 per cent of the locomotives and 93.3 per cent of the cars being in serviceable condition in October. More railroad coal has been placed in stock pile storage and more commercial coal dumped at Lake Erie ports than in any previous year, thus making equipment available for other necessary traffic during peak periods. From an average movement of 22 miles per day, (including idle time) in 1921, the railroads made 29.2 miles in September, 1923. In the 42 weeks from January 1 to October 20, 1923, the railroads loaded and moved 40,545,620 cars, which was an increase of 18 per cent over 1922 and 10 per cent over the record year of 1920. Ins't this a splendid tribute to the efficincy of the carriers and the co-operation of shippers? T,he roads are spending this year 700 million dollars for new epuipment and 400 million dollars for other improvements. Years ago James J. Hill, the great railroad builder of the Northwest, said that the roads must spend one billion dollars every year for addi tions and betterments to keep abreast of the country 's growing traffic, but this is the first year in twelve that the railroads have found it possible to obtain that amount. Such expenditures have a vital bear ng on .national prosperity, contributing to theexpan i on of industry and employment of labor, increas ng the demand for products of mine, forest and arm. This $1,100,000,000 being spent in 1923 is almost entirely new money, and not taken from earnings. , The expenditure is. based on the conviction that the American people will encourage compensatory rates and discourage attempts to embarras the railroads in their efforts to provide adequate service. It is not predicted on present earnings for even in this record breaking year, it is unlikely that the roads will earn the 5.75 per cent on their valuation permitted by the Interstate Commerce Commission under the Trans portation Act, but which if they do not earn they do not get. Anti-railroad laws produce no freight cars. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. C. S. GRAY, 4 Omaha, Nebraska, President. December 1, 1923.
