BY CHARLES F. CARTER. Author of “When Rallroads Were New,” Etc. What has become of the ‘“rallroad problem” about which so much was eard prior to Midsummer, 19237 The doctors could not agree on what the “rallroad problem” was, but it is understood to have been serious. Yet, despite the handicap of this mysterious malady, the rallroads mov- ed the largest tonnage in history in 1923 without car shortage or delay due to any fault of the carrfers. In the first ten months of the current year the raliroads have moved nearly six hundred thousand more carloads of freight than in the corresponding period of the record year, 1923, not only without delay, but with surplus cars and locomotives in good repair ready for service, but Idle for lack of treight. In explanation it is pointed out that billions of dollars have been in- vested in new equipment and other facilities. That helped, but it is more enlightening to hear that the rall roads have learned much about co- operation. Railroads and shippers learned to co-operate for their mutual benefit through the medium of the Regional Advisory Shipping Boards. The rallroads and their employes learned to co-operate for their mutual JOHN COOLIDGE PAYS VISIT TO GOVERNOR President’s Son Attends Birthday Party of Daughter of Connecti- cut’s Chief Executive. By the Associated Press PLAINVILLE, Conn., November 28. —John Coolicge, son of President and Mrs. Coolidge, and John Steele of Rochester, N. Y., classmates at Am- | herst Coliege, are house guests of Gov. and Mrs. Trumbull at the Trum- bull home here. The young men at- tended a dinner and reception last night in honor of Miss Florence Trum- bull, the governor's eldest daughter, on her twenty-first birthday. This is young Coolidge’s second visit at the Trumbull home. Near the end of the school year last Spring he was entertained several days by the Trum- bulls, whom he met while going to Washington for the Inauguration of his father. Yesterday afternoon the young men accompanied Gov. Trumbull to his of- fice in Hartford, where the governor signed a reprieve which granted Ger- ald Chapman three months more to live SATURDAY, NO Bl& TEETH ALL OVER DISGLISED THE WO0D6 BY STICKS AN 'n-um AN ONE DAY THE POOR LIL KID WANDERED OFF 1N THE WOODS AN’ CAME Yo A PLE ow L:NGG' He AN AN 30" LIKE THAT L . 1925, by The Bell Syndicate, Tne.)

That proved so satisfac- tory that soon they were working to- gether in other phases of thelr mutual affairs. Not a small part of the movement toward greater efficiency and better handling can be traced to wise pro- vision for the health and happiness of raflway workers and their familles. Shorter hours, better loan and build- ing societies, the encouragement and the providing of facilities for sport, and, finally, the active co-operation of execunves has created an “esprit de corps” which now benefits public and workers alike. Travel has been made safer by a reduction of nearly 40 per cent in killed and injured since 1913 despite a great increase in traffic in that period. Employes have invested mil- lHons of dollars in the stocks of the roads on which they work; and, not unnaturally, being interested in divi- dends, have taken to soliciting busi- mess for their employers. One road refnrls 1.170 carloads of freight and 878 passengers secured through em. | ploye solicitation in a recent month. Scores of millions have been saved in claims, other millions have been saved in fuel consumption, trainloads and train speed have been increased. In short, the “railroad problem' has gone to that bourne from which, let us hope, there is no return. (Copyright. 1925.)
