PEACE'I'DIJ S. ELECTRICLINES

 

New Haven Man, Now Czar of American Trac-
tion Lines, Looked to to Iron Out Bus-Trel-
yFights and Fare Difliculties — Never

Had a Strike While Head of Conn. Co.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19. -— Abano
donment of useless battles—that is
what the street railway men all
over the country see as a. result
of the appointment or Lucius 8.
Steers of New Haven as mentor of
the traction lines of the nation.
Radically every electric railway
line in the t‘nlted Statas hasa
tighten its hands of some kind.
either to secure adequate financing.
to adjust taxation, to change fares.
to alter wage schedules or.to meet
bus competition. The executive
committee of the American Eleo-
trio Railway association which ap-
pointed Storrs. undoubtedly expects
he will' be able to steer the public
service companies clear of unneces-
sary . ompllcailons.

Theindustry has scores of expert
engineers and statisticians but his
assoclaiss declare Storrs was the
only man about whom they could
my: "Take your problem to Storrs.
he's already solved it." Mr. Stern
ins been known as one o! the most
progressive men in the electric
Quaccticut Company which oper-
railway game. As head of the
allies nearly all the electric lines in
that. state he has been singularly
successful in applying modern me-
thods 0: financing and operation

'a'nd in amalgamating trolley and

bus lines.

Bus competition right now is
one of the largest problems the
traction companies have to solve.
There. is every indication from his
past performance with the Connec-
ticut company that Mr. Storrs will
advocate absorption of the bus
systems and their operation as
feeders and adiuncts to the eleo'
tric lines rather than long drawn
out and expensixc competition. It
is notable in this connection that
the large bus intorcsts all over the
country have great confidence in
the new czar oi the tractions.

The menace of the bus cannot be
overlooked from the electric rail-
road standpoint. Over ten thou~
sand new buses will be built and
put into commission this year. One
large manufacturer predicted today
that 300 OOU would be required to
fill the demand of the next ten
years. The policy 0! amalgamation
.6: street car and bus lines already
has receiyed a. good start. Today
there are approximately 17 0 elec-
tric railway companies owning and
operating '..500 buses in conjunc-
Lion with their rail cars J.’1\
Shannahan. president or the Amer-
less Electric Ruilnay association
said today:

."Far seeing electric \i-lvmy ex-
ecutives exeryvhere alu supple-
mént’ing their rail service with
basses wheer tiantic warrants and
enlightened public onxcials and

as are co—upeiating with them
in- an edort to establish the best pos-
dine ear-bus services."
‘hlr. Storrs is expected to act as a
niacin ouicer between the traction
companies and the public and his
.érVices wiu be available tor the
public it the latter desires to turn
is him as an expert lie is sure to
m to the railway men the value
oft good ’will 0! patrons and em-
phasise the necessity of taking the
public iully into their confidence.

He will drge this especially in
connection with new financing. The
electric lines expect to spend about
use. 000. 000 in‘ new plants. .equip-
snout... bettermen a. maintenance and
applies. That money must be rais-
ed: iron the public and Sierra will
urge that so tar as possible this b_e
o! s5~
entities to the patrons or the ling
involved. ‘

9t the present time. disputes over
rates or {are are largely confined to
ssdttered cities. The general rate
Ell-.ovm' the country today 1.1;“
reached a. point just under seven
eiyd ..' halt cents tor cash cash ride.

'1' this “about average over
touched in the industry and the idea
of the old axed tare is passing out
oLs'xlstence.

There are few wage disputes to
occupy the attention of the new

Refining executive at present.

m advanced about 3 per cent. 'in
the M year- Mr. Storrs has never
had a. strike on the lines at his com-

’.gaaic congestion is having a big
influence on street railway opera

p‘erlence ‘is expected to be invalu-
able in many cities in establishing
missions which will speed up
transit.

The time worn analogy or the

 

stone‘castr'into'the pool or water
still holds good in being about my
simplest illustration.ot the "broad-
chafing” 0! radio waves through the _
ether. ’

.Whan a stone is thrown into a'
pool-‘0: water,'waves are sent out if: '
all directions. The LENGTH of m. 4
wave ia‘ measured. usually in leg;
or inches. in’ terms of the distance
from the‘creet 0! one wave to lhc'
crest «the non. These waves grad. 1'
usily dimilh in eight but the die-
lance between crests remain the
same oven until the waves have

pics on the water. And the more?

power used to throrthe stone in the"
water the stronger will be the result.
mg wave and the further it will
"arty" until the waves are ripples.

So with radio waves. The water
is replaced by that invisible all perv:
vading medium called the "other. ;
The stone is replaced by a poverful'
electric ether disturber" but till
waves are similar. These wane:
spread out in all directions from the
transmitter. The distance from crest
to crest. or the WAVELENGTH.
remains. the same always. unless :t
is changed at the transmitter. The
more powerful the
transmitter. the higher these clhcr
waves are and the further th=y “-1.:
carry until they become more ethm
ripples.

Theoretically, the waves going
(rent the spot the stone is thrown
into the water NEVER cease. Prac-
tically they finally die out. but if
we had some means at measurmg
