GOVERNMENT RIVER BOATS > MAKING MONEY Mississippi and Warrier Barge Lines Success, Senate Is Told. Times WasMnaton Bureau. 1328 Neto York Avenue. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Government operation of a freight bargeline on the Mississippi and Warrior Rivers is a success. The- Inland Waterways Corporation, Government subsidiary, saved Mississippi Valley shippers approximately $2,000,000 over rail rates during 1925 and moved 1,250,000 tons of freight, Gen. Thomas Q. Ashburn, its president, told the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee recently. The net profit for the first ten months of 1925, he said, was $340,,756, or more than 4 per cent on the present book value of the corporation’s equipment. This contrasts with ’a slight loss in operation in 1924. Litigation More tonnage was moved In 1925 than in 1924, despite the fact that about 40 per cent of the tow-boats and btfrges of the company, available in 1924, were tied up in litigation in 1925 and could not be used. Greater than the demonstration of

profits, however, Ashburn said, was the showing that river transportation has a large and valuable place in American economic life and that it helps, rather than hurts, the railroads, which strangled the original river-traffic on the Mississippi. The roads themselves are beginning to recognize this and to cooperate with the experiment,- he said. The Inland Waterways Corporation was started in 1920 to take over and operate the equipment, which the Government had created as a war measure. It was given $3,000,000 with which to work. Ashburn said that despite the losses in operation in the earlier years, about $1,500,000 remains in the treasury, and he does not' think it will be needed. Cairo to New Orleans The corporatidn operates between Cairo, 111., and New Orleans, on the Mississippi, from New Orleans to Mobile, Ala.’ and up the Warrior River J.O Cordova, Ala. It carries freight into and out of thirty-six states, at an average of 80 per cent of the rail freight rate. Its present annual capacity is 1,500,000 tons. Now an expansion has been approved, by which the corporation would establish a barge line on the Ohio from Pittsburgh to Cairo.

ly to extend the Mississippi River service up to the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, he said. Tonnage carried, by years, is as follows: 1920, 360,000 tons; 1921, 672,000 tons; 1922, 860,000 tons; 1923, 979,000 tons; 1924, 1,571,000 tons, and for the first ten months of 1926, 1,000,000 tons.
