Nov. 13.—General Pershing explained yesterday the American transportation system to the corres pondents as follows: "I have just made a tour of the lines of communication and the liases. New methods in Army or ganization are showing excellent re sults already. After a study of the great transportation problems I mad? a recommendation, which the department approved, that all mat ters relating to transportations dnd construction be consolidated under one head. "This is now in charge of Briga dier General W. W. Atterbury. \s sisted by expert traffic men. he is looking after every detail of trans portation from the ships' holds to the rail-head destinirtion. Intermountain Rates May Be Given Slight Increase Washington, Nov. 13.—Formal ap plication to make the rate increases caused by the readjustments ordered in the intermountain rate case was presented by the railroads to-day to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. Transcontinental rates to Pa cific coast terminals would be in creased. In general present rates from the Missouri river to intermediate points would be retained and rates from ter ritories east of tho Missouri would be increased slightly by the addition of differentials to the Missouri river rates. Rates to Pacific coast pointsi would be increased from five to fif-' teen cents more than rates to inter mediate points. All rates on commodities less than carloads to the Pacific coast and in termediate would be eliminated and commodity shipments destined to in termediate points in less than car loads would move at class rates. RAILROAD RUMBLES SHIPPING DAY HELPS TRAFFIC; Pennsv Reports Increased Speed in Philadelphia Plan; Other Benefits Less-than-carload freight shipped from Philadelphia, under the new "Shipping- Day" or "Sailing Date," plan ,is moving to destination with more than three times the average speed achieved under the old method of handling. Observations of actual car movements from Philadelphia to a large number of points on the Pennsylvania lines, both east and west of Pittsburgh, the results of which have just been tabulated, show that from the placing of the freight in the car, until it reaches destination, an average saving of more than 08 per cent, in time is being effected. This means that the average speed of movement has been more than tripled. For instance: where the average time in transit was formerly three days, it is now less than one day? and where it was formerly six days, it is now less than two days. Increased fcpecsl The increased speed .under the "Shipping Day" plan is due to the fact that the cars are being loaded to capacity at the point of origin, thus avoiding the necessity for re handling less-than-carload freight at transfer stations, in which operation, under the old plan, a large amount of time was unavoidably lost. In addition to the benefit resulting to shippers from speed in transit, the "Shipping Day" plan, as hitherto announced, by saving the use of nearly 100 cars per day in handling less-than-carload freight from Philadelphia, is helping to in crease the car supply for other pur poses. Foreign Trackwalker Is Killed Near Thorndale Tony Epolite, a trackwalker for the Pennsy on the Philadelphia divi sion was killed early this morning. He was struck by Train No. 10 near Thorndale.
