MUST REDUCE NUM
BER OF UNFIT ENGINES
Rail Chiefs Say Too Many in Shops
for Repair and Not Enough on
the Job Cause Shortage.
Efforts to reduct the percentage of
locomotives out of service for repairs
are being made by railway executives
who declare the car shortage is due
to the fact that too many locomotives
are unfit for service at the eame time.
A bulletin issued under the author
ity of the Association of Railway
Executives to unify all forces in the
effort to eecure maximum service
from existing transportation facili
ties shows that an early and substan
tial reduction in the number of loco
motives now unfit for service must
be made.
This move, according to the advi
' scry committee of the Association of
Railway Executives, Is an essential
part of the more-transportation pro
(jram, mapped out since the roads
have been returned to private owner
ship. Heavier loading may be achiev
ed, car movement may be increased,
but adequate means to haul the
traffic is indispensable, the bulletin
continues.
Big Per Cent in Shops
On September 15, of alKJocomo
tives.s17.1 per cent were outjof ser
vice for repairs requiring -over 24
hours and 6.4 per cent for repairs
requiring less than 24 hours. ;
As a basis for comparison altho
the statistics were kept on a different
basis at that time in September,
1917. 13.5 per cent of freight loco
motives were in shops for repairs or
awaiting repairs.
The number of locomotives out
of service for repairs is said to be
too many even if there were In ser
vice all the locomotives needed.
According to figures compiled by
the Railway Age. the average num.
ber of locomotives provided annually
oy tne railroads for eight years
prior to the war was 2,970. The

accumulated shortage of the years
1317, 1318 ana 1919 was 3,190.

was in Moscow, will be closely ques

of Scotland Yard on his arrival in
London if the present plans of the

The interrogation will not neces

ing action against Mr. Vanderlip's
presence in England, it was said, but
with the intention of ascertaining
exactly what his activities have been
in Russia in view of the many con

Such interrogation, it was pointed
out. would be in conformity with the
recently adopted attitude of the Bri
tish government of discouraging trav

Mr. Vanderlip was in Stockholm
up to a few days ago. He recently
