commissions. who complained that
“book value" was unreliable, while
the carriers contended that their fig-
ures were conservative, especially be-
cause of rising cost of materials and
equipment. ,Inq-eases in passenger
rates and flat freight Increases in-
stead of the precentage advances, also
were advocated by shippers to equal-
lze the burden of any advance.
Setting out the necessity for the
increase, the railroads claimed that
the net income of all the country's
roads fell from 31.056.000.000 in 1916
to $510,000,000 in 1919, while their in-

contended that saving promised by
them could not be eil'ecfed at once

were when taken over and because
of unsolved labor difficulties.

Mr. Thorne also argued that the
rate advances asked were excessive
as the carriers had not made provision
for more efficient operation or for
decreases in the cost of materials.
He also argued that the companies

tribution of frleghl; cars that will
break all records i’Or railroading in
this country. The association of rail-
way executives will ‘ndertake. with
the cooperation of other common car-
riers and shippers to get an average
daily minimum movement of freight
cars all over the country that it is
predicted will straighten out conges-
tion within a few months.‘ ,
The greatest saving will be in the
time of loading and unloading cars.
{or 25 per cent. of car service is tak-
en up awaiting either loading or no-
loading. For several months in 1917
during the stress of the war the rail-
roads increased the minimum move-

miles a day. which is the record. ‘Un-
der present operation the cars travel
239 miles daily.
