Three months ago the number of
cars in daily industrial service was
215. The increased number required
since that time has been 155, or a
growth of 71 per cent, in the period
named. This has been due to in
creased speed of construction work,

and the enlargement of others.
Railroad Earnings Drop
During First Three Months
Washington, May 16.—Railroads in
the first three iiK>nths this year
earned only t~ 1,705,000, as compared
with $179,431,000 in the same period
last year, making a loss to the Gov
ernment under the system of com
mon operation of about $109,000,000.
This report by the Interstate Com
merce Commission covers all but five
of the 196 railroads in the country.
The net income in March was $03.-
033,000, or $7,000,000 less than in
March, 1917. Operating revenues In
March were $363,000,000 and operat
ing expenses $283,000, making net
revenue a little more than $52,000,-
000. From this was deducted taxes
of $15,000,000 and rents for equip
ment and joint facilities, leaving the
net income, the item on which Gov
ernment compensation is based, $63,-
000.000.
Eastern railroads earned $16,870,-
000, as compared with $23,000,000 in
March last year; western roads, $30.-
000,000, as compared with $31,000,000
in March last year, and southern
loads reported $16,000,000, about
$1,000,000 more than In March last
year.

MANY CARS USED
IN WAR DEMANDS
Thousands of Workers and
Soldiers Carried Each Week
From Plants and Camps
So rapid has been the growth of
war industries along the lines of tthe
Pennsylvania Railroad that 370
passenger cars are now in constant
daily use for the operation of work
men's trains serving these plants.
Altogether seventy-six industrial
trains are operated each day to and
from establishments engaged in
shipbuilding, shell makir. r, ammu
nition testing, powder manufacture
and rifle production. The number of
passengers carried daily in each di
rection ranges from 31,000 to 32,-
500.
As there are approximately 2,500
passenger coaches on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad's directly operated
lines east of Pittsburgh and Erie,
nearly fifteen per cent, of this equip
ment has been taken out of regular
service and concentrated upon in
dustrial plants in comparatively
limited areas.
In addition to the cars devoted
exclusively to war industrial service,
the Pennsylvania Railroad, every
Saturday, transports from Camp Dix
and Camp Meade between 9,000 and
10,000 soldiers to their homes on
furlough, and each Sunday returns
these men to the camps. This move
ment requires from 150 to 200 cars
every Saturday and Sunday. Besides
this a heavy movement of furlough
ed soldiers is handled every week
end from other camps, and at the
same time the regular movements
of troops under the direction of the
War Department must be provided
for without hitch or interruption.
