Greatest Freight Traffic in History A RING the first six months of i MM i-his year the railroads hauled the largest amount of freight ever carried during any six months in the [History of America, i And despite this tremendous traffic, which in June resulted in the greatest ’ever carried in any one month, the freight car shortage has been turned in to a surplus o? more than 84,000 cars. These facts arc available following ■I report or the Car Service Division of the American Railway Association on ; the progress of the railroads since 1922 to increase their facilities and im prove . transportation capacity and performance. The report shows: j . 1. In the first six months of 1923 tlje railroads hauled the largest traf fic of any six months in their history. 2. In June, they hauled the larg est traffic ever carried in any one month. 3. For the week ending June 30th they loaded 1,021,770 cars, the larg est car loading on record. 4. In the first six months of this year 79,2.40 new freight cars were put into service and 1,993 new loco motives. 5. The total number of bad order freight cars has been reduced from \ 216,011, or 9.5 per cent., on January 1, to 190,411, or 8.4 per cent., on July 1. 6. Bad order locomotives have been reduced from a total of 15,549, •* 24.1 per cent., y cn January 1, to 11,450, or 18 per cent., on July 1, when there were the greatest number -of serviceable locomotives on record. I 7. The number of repaired loco motives and cars turned out of rail road shops per month has far ex ceeded the performance of previous years. In the first six months of this year an average of more than 38,000 repaired locomotives were turned cut each month against only about 21,C00 for the first six months of i 922. In ■eune over 1,200,000 freight cars pass ed in and out of the railroad repair ihops the country. 8. The average loading per car I was increased from 27-8 to os in to 2i tau> ia May. ; “In the public interest,” he wrote, . “it is inexpedient that these secret societies, which collect large sums , of money from their members, and . use all their resources to support : strikes, however violent, should con tinue to be exempt from the usual ■ legal processes to prevent violations i of contract and enforce payment of 1 damages.!’ Colonel Stimson stressed the need of constructive leadership and uni i fied front in self organization and , self discipline in the public’s in ■ terest. * Colonel Goff emphasized the im i portance of basic considerations in , the coal labor problem to the whole ‘ problem of American social and eco -1 nomic development.

PAGE FIFTEEN the form of American trade unions into industrial unions as an opening wedge toward compelling ttie ma jority in America, or a militant and effective minority, to accept the doctrine of communism. Investigations conducted by the Bituminous Operators’ Special Com mittee, appointed to cooperate with the United States Coal Commission, have found that labor is one of the principal factors of the cost of at the mine, amounting to 68.7 per cent of the total. The constant interruption of the coal supply by nation-wide strikes, made possible by a growing monopolistic power on the part of the United Mine Work ers of America, is given as the chief deterrent to a regular supply of coal at satisfactory prices.
