Excerpt from Official Proceedings of the Western Railway Club: For the Club Year 1908-1909 We have a new figure which we got by ourselves, the ton miles per car per day, which I think myself is the best indication of car efficiency, and high authority has called the best gauge. Of efficiency. We have the average earnings per day per car owned and per car on the line and we have also figures for each road showing how many cars it has and how many cars it used. That is, we show up every month the creditor and the debtor road, and the railroads have been very loyal in: giving us these figures, even when they apparently showed against them. The only thing they have objected to is giving us the figures in regard to earnings per car per day. Some roads seem to think they are earning too much per car per day and they will not give us their freight record monthly and we do not print it. Anybody that wants to can go to the Interstate Commerce Com mission 's figures and fill up our gaps there, but of course if our sub scriber says, Do not print these figures, we do not go to the Interstate Commerce Commission to get them. I am rather sorry the report has those gaps in it, because I think if a railroad earns a large. Amount of money per car per day, it is a credit to that road; I do not think it ought to be ashamed of it. However, that we leave to our subscribers as to those figures. I hope that as those figures are compiled for more and more years, they will become of much greater use, and if we think out other ways of indicating the efficiency of cars on railroads, we will add columns to those reports.

Excerpt from Official Proceedings of the Railway Club of Pittsburgh, Vol. 33: Volumes 33-34; November 1933-October 1935 By the hon. David A. Reed, Senior United States Senator from Pennsylvania, Washington, D. C. Mr. Rossell and my friends: I do not deserve so gracious an introduction as Mr. Rossell in his kindness has just given me. I am not a railroad man and I am sure the conductor of that newspaper train that runs out of New York about three o'clock in the morning, which was stopped cold at that section tower at Princeton Junction, will testify that I am not a railroad man. He came up into the tower ready to fight, and I don't know yet why he didn't. The topic that has been given me for tonight is Today in Washington. And it may be of some interest if one who has been in the thick of it for some time should give you quite can didly what seems to him to be going on in and about Washing ton. I am aware that there are newspaper men present and I shudder to think what my remarks will look like when I see them in print tomorrow morning, but nevertheless I am going to try to tell vou as honestly and as fairly as I can what seems to be going on there at the present moment. I am well aware that this is not the time to say with Coue that all is for the best, that this is the best possible world and that every day in every way we are getting [better and better. Even if I did say it, though it might be popular, it would not be true. There are many things that should encourage our optimism, but there are some things that ought to be frankly stated 'if one is going to paint a true picture of what is going on.

Excerpt from The Railway Problem and the Railways of the Future The existing railway machinery will be found monstrously dis proportionate to the useful effect produced in four-fifths of the number of times that the machine is put in action.
