He told of the fruitless efforts that had been put forth by American railways to compete with the motor bus. and in the motor car, ending only in loss, and in some cases` in the rail- ways going into the bus b'usiness themselves. Over in the `States, many of the railways were reduc. ing their passenger service," and on some branch lines abandoning it altogether.
