TRAFFIC INGREASE TREBLED SINCE 1898 Greater Efficlency Enabled Rail- roads to Meet Country’s Growing Demands. The American railroads are more than one-third of the railways of the world, The traffic hauled on the rail- ways of the United States is now three times as great as it was twenty years ‘ago. In four months now the railroads carry as much freight and as many passengers as they did then in a year. Iv the three months alone of the har- vest movement in 1919 the traffic equal- ed that of the whole year of 1898. In 1898 freight ton miles cartied by the railroads of the country were more than 100,000,000,000 a year. In 1910 they were more than 250,000,000,000, in 1913 more than 300,000,000,000 and in 1918 more than 400,000,000,000. Al- though the railway mileage increased only about 65 per cent since 1890, im- provements_in tracks, terminals, equip- ment, ete, have been so marked that the volume of goods carried (measured in the number of freight tons carried one mile) increased more than five times from 1890 to 1917, Increased Efficiency. Taking account of both freight and passenger service, the railroads in 1900 hauled 186,000 traffic units (freight tons carried one mile, plus passengers carried one mile) for each railway em- ployee. By 1917, the last year of pri- vate operation of the railroads prior to the entry of the United States into the war, that 186,000 had been increased to 296,000, The following table shows the In- crease in efficiency of American rail- roads since 1900, which enabled the railroads to keep pace with the growth of the country: Ton miles increased........ 190% Passenger miles increased. ‘Trackage increased . Cars and engine increased. Workers increased ...... Output per worker increased 60% Average train load increased 180% These figures show that the traffic hauled by the railroads of the country has increased more than three times as fast as the trackage, more thaw twice as fast as the equipment and more than twice as fast as the number of workers. This has been made pos- sible by far-sighted investment of new J. C. Snook is in Denver attending to business there, bel Cee rest of the week.

Three of them have preaching} once a month, and one has’ preaching twice a month. ‘There is no resident! minister in the town, Rather an un-| intelligent system, isn't it? Among the chief aims of the Inter- church organization is the avoidance of such duplication of effort. One small church could offer the same number of services and more to the people in the village which has the four houses Of worship, and the dom- bined efforts of the four denomina- tions could insure a resident minister. In the same county from which this example of church shortsightedness is drawn, there are 179 churches, all but one of them Protestant. Of these 134 are white and 45 are for colored peo- ple. This means that there is a white} church for every 224 white people in} the county and a colored church for every 210 colored people, LWIGGIN jing, jy a man like Lloyd George, who can combine VERY SLMPLE, lisere straw BUT IT COSTS $100—Just a simple little Joseph creation of sells for $400.

The one thing that will defeat labor in the next election is a scare-monger- anti-revolutionary slogan launched the moderates of all parties. ich an election platform would prob- sweep the country, just as did George's “Make the Germans ‘Bring the war criminals to jus- swept the country in the post- election of 1918. But if the moderates can only keep the revolu- tionaries in check, labor. will win the next election. At present nearly all the responsible labor leaders may be numbered among the moderates. Robert Smillie, the min- Frank Hodges, his lieuten- Robert Williams, transport work- ‘8’ leader, and Charles T. Cramp, who is rapidly ousting J. T. Thomas as the railwaymen’s leader, (to mention the three great unionized branches of Brit- ish labor) are frankly revolutionary, but they do not get elected to parliament. lronically enough their own followers seem to vote them down when they are put up for parliament. If a Labor government were returned within the next twelve months, Arthur He does not entirely satisfy either the “reds” or the moderates, so should be a fairly satisfactory leader. And the men from whom he would have to chose his cabinet are practically Il_moderates. The press has recently been selecting possible Labor cabinets, neluding J. B. Clynes, William Brace, James O'Grandy, G. J. Wardle, Stephen Walsh, Ben C, Spoor, W. R. Smith, G. H. Roberts, J. H. Thomas, Ben Tillett, James Hodge, G. H. Stuart-Bunning, George N. Barnes, Vernon Hartshorn, C, B, Stanton and James Sexton. All these are experienced trade union offi. ministrators. Two leading laborites not yet men- tioned are J. Ramsay Macdonald and Philip Snowden. They are of the in- tellectual revolutionary type. Both were & moderate cabinet might do good work without being dangerous. It is an open secret that Ramsay Macdonald has slated himself for the foreign or colon- jal office, while Snowden has his eye on, the job of chancellor of exchequer. Labor, however, does not pretend to} understand the socialism of statesmen like Clemenceau, Briand and others. A labor government here would probably lead to a weakening of the “entente cordiale,”” and to a gradual estrange- ment from Italy, which is now regard- ed by “reds” here as a stronghold of militarism. Countries like Spain would probably be more or less ignored, un- less a British labor cabinet was em-! broiled with the Madrid government through unwise support of the Barce- lona extremists. The United States and South America, 3,000 miles or more dis- tant, would not receive much attention, and this would be likely to lead to con- inual diplomatic friction, Such is the only conclusion that can be drawn from the records and utter- ances of British Labor statesmen.
