he refers in clic last sentenee cif the
pi'efaeo when be states, that the 00111-

The weeds then spoken with eonii-
dence by a man experienced in
eehlevenlent have been fulfilled, but
in a manner ciuite different to than;
in the' mind of the whiter: The Can-
adien Pacific became a privately -
owned company and is now • the only
competitor of the system that is "Na-
tional in its objects and character"
of which the Intercolonial is an im-
portant section,
Canada's main traffic arteries are
built -for some thne to come, and the
National System's immediate devel-
opment will be largely internal
some branch lines will be required,
but apart from these and connections

tune. The policy will naturally be
to bring, the' physical properties' of -
the National Lines into excellent -op-
erating position, meaning more than
anere maintenance of line and equip:
ment, involving the bringing about
of..a proper balance of facilities, the
removal of features that limit the
capacity of certain sections of line,
such as an inadequate terminal,
which, when congested, may affect
the operation of a division -putting
in double track where required, im-
proving terminal equipment and so
on. Tliis work is not spectacular,
but will he reflected in the operating
statement at the end of the year.
Work of this kind can only be un-
dertaken on the assumption that the
traffic will develop for which various
sections of the National System were
built, and, naturally, such develop-
ment work may have to be discon-
tinued, or postponed, when business
conditions are depressed -to the ex-
tent that these traffic possibilites
seem remote. At the pres5nt time,
the bus'ness outlook is too uncertain
to justify any large expenditure for
equipping the lines of the National
System to handle large increases in
traffic. With possibly one or two lo-
cal situations excepted, the National
System has a capacity above the traf-
fic to be immediately handled.
The monetary advantages of co-or-
dination are apt to be over-estimated•
by the public, who, seeing two ticket
offices combined in ono, at once jamp
to the eonelueion 'that operating ex-
penses are being cut in half, Unfor-
tunately, the effoet of such' co,isoli
clatien is limited to a very small per-
centage of the total operating ex-
pense. As bus leeen before stated
elsewhere the truffle expenses of
Canadian Railways are lose than 2%
of the total, As matter of fact,
if the total expense of the Traffic De-
partment could be cut in half on all
Canadaian Railways., the saving

of meeting the recent 814tt increase
per hour for section forces wages.
While The eeonomies,by coordination
made 'up of small items aggregate
quite a large sum yet compared with
the general wage increase averaging
more than $25,00 per plan per month,
which took effect -throughout the
year, the amount is negligible. The
increase referred to is, it is hoped,
the last of a series of advanees of
Whish :the McAdoo Award was the
main feature, with its many Supple -
meets. The result ie that the average
wage of railway employees in Can-
ada has advanced from the pre-war
wage of $700, per. annum to $1,700
per annum. As long at lines have to
be maintained, (and what lines can
be abandoned?) the maintenance
charge remains; the equipment trust
also be kept up. Reductions lin
train service effect economies, blt the
cost of station service at outside
points is not affected by the number
of trains handled, but by the spread
of hours of the staff as .affecting ov-
ertime. The case is similar •in con-
vection with:Branch Lineeruns. The
inclusion of the Grand Trunk Pacific
Lines with those of the Canadian
Northern in the WLst, under Canad-
ian National Railways management,
has, of course, effected economies; as
regards the actual operation of the
G. T. P. through remoyal of some
administration expenses, yet, as
stated, these have come, unfortun-
ately, at a time when they have
been over -shadowed by large wage
increases. In the case of the Grand
Trunk Lines in the East also being,

ticeable when compared with the in-
creases occasioned by the adoption
of the 1920 Award of the United
States Railway Labor Board. which
made increases effective May 1, 1920
involving large back -time payments.
The co-ordination that has been ef-
fected with the Grand Trunk still
maintaining its corporate existence,
has naturally been limited but those
that loom up as possible, when the
lines are consolidaed, are substantial.
The rate increases granted by the
Railway Board in Canada not being
up to the scale that was requested by
the Railways, and, corning as they
did with a business decline, have not
produced sufficient additional revontie
to offset the., step.up in expenses
whish wave increases and attendant
rise 118 other costs has placed on the
hallways during' the year. Widow
the elreumstzinoes, the only course
for the menag,elnont to purs8l0, is to
reduce operating expenses to the
lowest possible notch consistent with
safe operation and 1'easunahie set -

aometjrnea opposed by local interests
that consider they are unfairly af-
,,feeted, but the matter mast be hand-
led on lines of broad policy in the
interest of the owners o1 the prop-
erty, who are the Canadian people,
represented by the Government of
Canada. The management have ev-
ery reason to believe that the pub-
lic will appreciate the fact ' that the
steps being taken to make ends meet

On April 18 Abolish Importation by voting YES
Since January .1, 1920, thousands and thousands of gallons
of Whiskey, Gin, Brandy and High Wines have been shipped
into Ontario.
Express shipments alone for a long period averaged four to
six cars per day, and have run as high as eight!
•
Four car loads a day means at least 19,200 quarts daily, or over 5,000,000
c -'i -i -te, per year. And yet the people of Ontario voted to make prohibition
the permanent lav! .
This imported "Booze" is the stuff which enables the "Bootlegger" to
r nr'ay on his illegal trade, and .allows "Ruin Runners" and "Whiskey
:.ire lgglers" to disgrace Canada.
Officers of the law are set at defiance.
