1 1 RAILROAD CLAIM j
I HIGH EFFICIENCY'
I Record of Achievements in
I 1920 Cited as Justifying
i Private Control
I WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 American
railroads are completing a recod
and have no intention of st-king tor
another general rate increase, Thomas
de Witt Cuyler, chairman of the As
nociatlon of Railway Everuiiv - s. il
olared in a statement reviewing the
Q20 situation
The year, Chairman Culler assert-.-d.
saw American railroads placed
fl again under private operation ;inl BE"
rbeni move a larger gross tooTlRgfl
Hj than ever before and also establish
Hj new jeeords In 1 1 aasportal ion gotten
Hj out of each car. These records, he
added, wore not achieved by the rail
roads alone but with the aid of ship
Hj i ra and with "the day and nlcht.
rain or shine, work of hundreds 61
Hj thousands of employes,"
Hl In referring to reports that the rati-
Hi roads plan to ask lor further nito in
crease?, the chairman sr. id:
"i know of no movement b the
railroads for a general increase in
rates, nor do I expect an. It is Wie
railroad companies are not yet n
Ing frnni the increased rates anything
like the 6 per cent return needed But
the railway executives reallz i they are
trustees of a ciat public interest m
-the reduction of railroad on-rating o
inses to the lowesl possible figure,
. nd every effort will be made to ac
jrompllsh this by further economics
and efficiency "
RECORDS OF ACHIEVEMENTS.
'Achievements of the ruiirtmds since
'heir return to private operation
March 1 were set forth as follows:
"Increased the average movement
per freight car pfr day C.3 miles
trout 22.3 to 28 G miles.
"Increased the average losd per car
1.7 tons - from 28 3 to 30 tun.'
'Made substantial reductions in tin
fl ervlceabls locomotives.
"Reduced tho accumulation ol toad'
ed but unmoved freight can from 103,
233 on March 1 to 21,911 on Deccm
ber 3 of which only t;;;.xti were do
tained because of the Inability oi the
railroads to move Mum
"Relocated approximately 180,000
i hox cars for tbi movement ol
products.
"Relocated approximately 180,000
open top cars to keep up the produc
tion of coal.
"Moved the third highe.-,i real pm-
Unction in the history.
"Spent over $500,000,000 extra on
improving the maintenance of tracks,
bridges, cars and locomotives.
"Contracted to spend about $250,
ooo.ooo, largely out ol earnings for ad
dltlons and bettcrmenis to promote j
movement of cars.
"Made arrangements to purchase
proximately 50.000 new freight cars,.
; "1500 new locomotives and 1000 HC
passenger rars.
"Begun reconstruction of thousands'
of old cars.
"Moved the largest volum. of traffic!
ever known in a single year, with the'
highest efficiency yet aohieved, and'
with a minimum addition to the value
of the properly on which the public
has to pay a remrn through rates.
HIGH EFFICIENCY CLAIMED
"The railroad companies." the re-1
view added, "hnvc manufactured in
creased transportation capacity, out ot
Increased efficiency. If the enlarged'
capacity provided by the companies
during the past nine months had had:
to be produced by new cars and loco
motives, it would have required ap-
pro-imately $2,00n.'"0,( u sum J
which would have been permanently
added to the property value of the rail
roads, on which the public would ulti
mately have to pay a return through
rates.
"Private ownership and operation of
the railroads as a measure of sound'
public policy rests largely upon Its su
perior efficiency and economy, in my
Judgment railroad companies have ful-'
ly justified, and during the coming
year will make every effort to con
tinue to justify, the support and con
fidence which public opinion in grati
fying measure has accorded them."
