no workers to help in producing
them. It was emphasized by officers
of the organization this morning that
Harrisburg must keep up her splen

that workers report for duty at once.
"We are living in comfort and
peace," said Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert,

M'ADOO JUSTIFIES
THE GOVERNMENT
CONTROL OF RAILS
Tells Senate Commerce Com
mittee the Reforms Made
Should Be Permanent
By Associated Press
Washington, Jan. 3. —Accomplish-
ments of railroads under federal
| control ni the last twelve months
1 and arguments for a five-year con-
I tinuance of government operation to
• provide a fair test of unified direc
tion were recited to-day by Director
i General McAdoo, testifying before
; the Senate Interstate Commerce
I Committee, which took up consider
: ation of his recommendation for ex
. tension of control to 1924.
I Mr. McAdoo read a long prepared
statement, constituting a compre
: henslve review of conditions under
, federal management. After citing
J reforms effected under unified con
trol, ho said:
Points to Rail Reforms
"I believe 'that even under th
j handicaps of war conditions a suf
! llcient showing has been made to
indicate that all the reforms 1 have
mentioned are desirable as perma
nent peace measures. * * * It seems
to me that anyone who wishes a fair
and dispassionate study made as to
what is the best ultimate solution
and as to the extent to which the
reforms I have mentioned are in the
interest of the American public, must
be anxious to havea reasonable per
iod of federal control after the war
under conditions calculated to make
for tranquility and single minded
ness upon the part of the federal
railroad organization. I do not mean
that this would be desirable in or
der to accomplish government own
ership."
Predicts Lower Rates
Referring totlie increase in freight
and passenger rates six months ago,
Mr. McAdoo said that similar action
would have been necessary eevn un
der private management to prevent
serious losses, and said it should be
possible to lower rates materially
this year.
Uniformity of rates and equitable
distribution of the rate burden over
all railroads is possible only under
unified control, Mr. McAdoo urged
as another argument for the five
year continuance plan.
Great improvements and exten
sions should be made in terminal
facilities by enlargement and con
solidation, he said. This, he said,
provides the greatest opportunity
for reducing railroad costs and pro
moting public convenience in the fu
ture.
Loss of $130,000,000
Mr. McAdoo estimated the gov
ernment's loss in operating railroads
this year at $136,000,000. This rep
resents the difference between the
amount guaranteed to the "Toads as
rental and the sums credited to the
government in railroad income. If
the higher rates had been in effect
the entire year he estimated the gov
ernment would have made a surplus
of $10,000,000, and in 1919, with ex
isting wages, operating costs and
traffic volume remaining substan
tially the same as in last year, the
government should make a surplus
of $100,000,000.
He also predicted thata consider
able reduction in rates could be ef
fected in 1919.
Wage increases to railroad em
ployes lastt year added between
$600,000,000 and $700,000,000 to the
payrolls, Mr. McAdoo testified. In
ndition the coal bill was $140,000,-
000 higher for the ten months of
1918 ending November 1, than in the
same period of 1917, and the cost
of crossties and lumber increased
$65,000,000.
Many economies brought about
under unified management, such as
rerouting, common use of terminals
and equipment, heavier loading and
elimination of useless competition,
Mr. McAdoo explained, will not be
reflected until this year. Neverthe
less. he said, reports from five of the
seven operating regions show that
on a group of selected principal
items of economy, savings totaling
$85,576,000 have been effected.
Changes Should Be Permanent
"Many of the changes In railroad
operation inaugurated during last
year," the director general testiiled,
"should prove of permanent value
and should continue, If possible, re
gardless of what form of control is
decided upon for the railroads. Such
reforms include maintenance of the
permitsystem so as to coqtrol the
traffic at its source, maintenance of
heavy loads for cars; pooling of re
pair shops; elimination of circuitous
routes; unification of terminals;
maintenance of the sailing day plan;
consolidation of ticket offices; utili
zation of universal mileage tickets;
standardization of equipment; main
tenance of the uniform freight class
ification introduced by the railroad
administration; maintainance of
common timetables between import
an tpoints; maintenance of high de
murrage rates and uniform rates,
establishment of through way bill
freight from point of origin to desti
nation; elimination of the old prac
tice of paying in mileage or per diem
rental for the use of freight or pas
senger cars of one carrier by anoth
er; simplification of the old prac
tice of Apportioning interline pas
senger revenues; and utilization of
water routes for the relief of crowd
ed rail lines." *
Competition and self-interest of
individual roads would prevent the
carrying out of many of those re
forms under the old system of pri
vate management, declared Mr. Mc-
Adoo. a
The retiring director general told
the Senators how the government,
taking over the railroads the first of
last ▼fta'r at a time when they were
threatened with physical and finan
cial breakdown had righted condi
tions gradually, moved 6,496,000
troops, hauled great quantities of
food at a critical time in February
when the very success of the war
depended on the food situation and
hauled 37,083,000 more tons of bitu
minous coal during the ten months
ending October 31 than in the same
period of the year before.
Inconvenience Due to War
"Whatever inconveniences may
have resulted to ctvilian travelers,"
he asserted, "are due entirely to war
conditions and are in no way related
to the fact thatthc railroads were
under government control,"
The director general went at
length into the necessity for pooling
terminal facilities in scores of cities.
This program cannot be carried out,
however, hesaid, except under some
form of unified control extending
over a number of years.
He emphasized that waterways
should be used Snore extensively In
co-ordination with railroads, but ex
pressed doubt whether this would
be done if the roads went back to
competitive private management.
The Capo Cod Canal should continue
under federal control, he said

NEW WAREHOUSE
COMPLETION NEAR
Freight NVork Will Be Cen
tralized Under One Roof;
Use Warehouse Section
The enormous new freight ware- 1
house building of the Pennsylvania
Railroad system is rapidly nearlng
completion. Just how soon the work
will be completed officials cannot
say, and likewise they were unable
to tell when the freight, offices will
be. moved from their present location
in South Second street to the second
floor of the new structure.
The new structure WHS made neces
sary by the steadily increasing
amount of freight now being handled
In Harrisburg. Eight lines are carry
ing big amounts of it here and the
old quarters became decidedly cramp
ed as the business developed. This
building is 440 feet long, 50 feet wide
and lias four stories, with a roof more
than a half acre in extent. Equip
ment of the establishment is up-to
date throughout.
The lower part of the building,
which was set aside for freight ware
house purposes has bedft completed
and been in use for several months.
The other part of it will soon be com.
pleted and all work in connection
with the freight traffic will be con
tralized under the one roof.
The completion of the freight sec
tion will finish the big task the
Pennsy system began with the build
ing of the Front and the Second
street subways and the Cumberland
Valley bridge. The cost has bqyn sev
eral million dollars.
Government Has 1,200
Engines For Winter Drive
Washington; Jan. 3. Twelve hun
dred of the 61,000 locomotives in
good working order on government
controlled railroads nre being held in
reserve for emergency use during
possible winter storms. Railroad ad
ministration officials believe these
locomotives will eliminate all danger
of such a shortage of motive power
as resulted in traffic congestion dur
ing the bad weather of last winter,
when the railroads had practically
no locomotives in reserve. In addi
tion, repair shops, roundhouses and
engine pits have been repaired in
preparation for winter difficulties.

Cyclist Exonerated For
Death of John Deimler,
Run Down in the Storm
Huinnielstown, Jan. 3.—While at
tempting to cross the staW highway
in the blinding snow near the Ruth
erford yards, John Deimler, aged 40

Fire Apparatus Races
and Turns, but Finds No
Fire in Double Alarm
The down-town streets were! turned
into a race track for the fire appa
ratus of the various companies of
that district about 19.30 o'clock this
morning, when the mechanism of the
fire alarm system slipped a cog and
registered two boxes on one alarm.
Drivers droves from corner to corner,
hunting a fire, and pedestrians down
town were treated to the spectacle of
a hnlf dozen pieces of fire apparatus
passing and repassing each other in
their vain search for the flames.
The taps sounded from box 41. but
only once, and immediately after
wards they sounded properly from
box 61, at South and Second streets.
Box 41 is at the Philadelphia and
Reading station. Fire Chief Ktndler
said no fire was located, and the fire
men after their spirited runs from 41
to 61 and adjacent points, went back
i to their company houses with the re
j ward that comes from knowing they
did their duty.
I Last night a small fire in the flue
of the Senate hotel caused a slight

FOOD VALUE OF
MILK EXPLAINED
Home Worker Says Its Con
sumption Should Not
Be Stopped
The food value of milk Is empha
sized In a statement issued to-day by
Miss Mary Ruth Fisher, home eco
nomics worker of the State College
extension department, who has been
working with the Dauphin county
fcod administration in the Interests
of food conservation. Miss Fisher's
statement follows:
"When the price of milk increases
one cent a quart, the consumption im
mediately begins to decrease. When
the price of candy Increases five, ten
or even fifteen cents a pound there Is
no noticeable decrease in Its con
sumption. There are perhaps two
reasons for this difference: First,
the majority of people consider milk
a beverage and rot a food. When
we really appreciate the food value
of milk, we will not object to paying
twenty cents a quart. Second, the
majority of people have the feeling
that their systems require sweets and
hence they must supply that demand
with candy. ,
"Milk is known as the nearest per
fect food we have. A food, or a meal,
to be well balanced must contain a
I representative from each of the dif-
I ferent food classes: Protein for re
j pair and growth, fat and carbohy-
I drate for heat and energy, minerals
i for regulating and certain chemical
I that are necessary to
maintain the body wellbeing and, in
the case of children, aid in growth.
Milk contains all of these elements
and in forms easily taken care of by
the body.
"Few women realize It, but the
milk pitcher and the vegetable gar
den are the best friends she has if
she* is interested in feeding her fam
ily well and economically at the
same time.
"The amount of milk used per day
depends, of course, upon the size and
age of the family, a good rule being
one quart apiece for every person
| under 16 years old and a pint apiece
for every person over this age.
"Don't reduce the consumption of
milk on the plea that you cannot af
ford to buy it —you cannot afford
NOT to buy it if you have your fam
ily's best interests at heart."
