Additional ears and locomotives are needed Init they cannot be secured In largo numbers for many months. There is also a serious shortage of labor and in some places of yard trackage. The only way to improve the conditions therefore is to seeure sreater efflclenry in the present equipment, torminal trackage, and man power The railways alone cannot develop the ma.\tmum cfllcieney; the rail- ways and the public eo-operatlng can.
