BIG BENEFITS IN U. S. CONTROL OF RAILWAYSJHOWN Car Shortage Cut in the East, Operate All Roads as One Now. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 20. Specific reforms effected on eastern railroads under pooling and commort operation made possible by the government management were reviewed in a report from A. H. Smith, regional director for the East, made public yesterday by the railroad administration. All lines have been regarded as a unit, Mr. Smith explained, and the aid which some have been able to give others under this plan has enabled the railroads to clear up the congestion of last winter and eliminate practically all car shortage. Only in open top cars is there any dearth of supply now, he said. Some of the Reforms. Concrete reform measures were enumerated as follows: "Elimination of approximately 2,200,000 miles per month of unessential passenger train milage. "Assignment to eastern roads of 122 locomotives constructed for the United states military railways in France, 125 locomotives constructed for the Russian government and 118 locomotives under order for the southern and western roads. "Transfer of power from one road to another to relieve congestion or shortage of power. Labor is Interchanged. "Common use of terminal facilities at large commercial centers. "Interchange of labor to eliminate accumulations of less than carload freight. "Classiflcf tion of freight by the originating railroads to permit trains to be run through to western terminals without re-switchlns. "Co-ordination of harbor facilities at New Yora. "Routing of freight to tidewater via the delivering line at destination resuiting in a very great relief to the seaboard terminal facilities. Save Engine Efficiency. "Diversion of traffic to roads with most favorable grades, resulting in saving of engine efficiency. "Running of locomotives through over more than one road In connection with troop and freight movement to save power and the delay to traffic." Other improvements based on reports on June 1 were noted as follows: "On Feb. 1 blast furnace production was 57 per cent, of capacity and byproduct coke 67 per cent. At that time 113 out of 290 blast furnaces were out of blast. At the present time the blast furnace situation is practically normal, there being no furnaces out of blast because of lack of transportation. Increase Coal Movement. "The movement of coal via the great lakes is progressing satisfactorily, there being an increase of 26 per cent, in cars dumped in vessels so far this season. The ore movement from the lakes of 4 per cent. In cars shipped. "During the winter months steel tonnage plied at the plants awaiting shipment continued to increase and reached the peak about March 1, at which time there were approximately 600,00 tons awaiting movement. This tonnage has been moved with the exception of about 40,000 tons, which is held on account of embargo. "On Jan. 1, there were on hand at north Atlantic ports approximately 41,000 cars of export freight in cars, on piers, and on the ground. This has been reduced to approximately 23,000 cars."
