THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RAILWAYS WAR FOR VACATION TIME BUSINESS Train Speed. Plane Flights and Even ‘Bargains’ Are Weapons. Eji T'liitfl fra* DENVER. Col.. May 6.—A “railroad war. reminiscent of the early days, when competing interests fought for a foothold in the virgin west, is being fought out along new and modern lines. Using every weapon in their possession, the roads are engaged in a speed war. Just as the “empire builders’’ of the early days supplemented their appeals to congress for land grants with burly razorbacks, known as “claim jumpers.’’ who battled the razorbacks of competing companies, the roads of today have gone about conducting the war with "practical'’ methods. They have chopped their running schedules, announced new summer trains, and added airplane flights to their service arrangements. Even freight schedules have been speeded up. Ana’ now. as if the lure of aviation were not enough, the suggestion of a "price war” is contained in the Union Pacific’s announcement that it will eliminate extra fares on its Los Angeles Limited. The prize at stake, aside from the prestige and advertising value of ! operating the fastest trains, is the | rich revenue of the summer vaca- | tion travel. Fire Loss 5302.86.' in March Indiana's fire loss for March | totalled $302,865 according to Alfred E. Hogston. state fire marshal. He j pointed out that greatest losses oc- | cured in rural and small town areas where protection is lacking.
