Regulated Traffic ‘

Most Necessary Says 0. N. R. Head

SASKATOON. Saslc. Dec. 11- Like the forgotten man of the last presidential campaign the railways 0f Canada are rapidly drlgtmg m- to the forgotten class. it was stated Hon. C. P. Fullerton, K. 0., chairman of the board of trustees,

' Canadian National Railways, who officially opened the Bessborougu e

latest addition to the company's chaiin of hotels at a luncheon here yesterday . 1

IPorgotten by shippers in favor of buses and trucks. fwgotten by the governments in their failure to ap- ply the same regulations to the buses and trucks as were applied to them, the railways were gloomily reflecting in their annual state- ments the heavy expenditures of maintaintlng roadbeds paralleled by public highways which enabled the

' bus and truck to take away reven-

uea on which the railways were de- pendent for their‘ existence.

Admittin, that the truck and bus had a legitimate place in the trans- portation field and a right to op- eraie under fair conditions, the Canadian National chairman point- ed cut that unregulated competi- tion mlght have highly undesirable results. he showed how the railway rate structure was designed to move such low class commodities as lum- ber, grain and coal while making up essential revenues‘ by charging higher rates on the more valuable» and less bulky oommoditie.

"These latter commodities are what the trucks are after and what they are getting. They pick the more lucrative traflic leaving the low grade commodities to be. trans- ported by the railways." he said. "lt la almost a matl: tioai certainty that if this unregulated competition co “ to increase the day will coma when the rates on low class commodities will have l0 be in- creased if the railways are in con- tiune to operate." He indicated the profound eflect this would have on the domestic and import trade of ‘Canada.

"I am glad in learn from the newspapers that the matter of reg- ulatim of trucks and buses will be considered at the conference of Dominion and provincial premiers new sitting in Ottawa," he ob- served in more optimistic vein .

Ln a review of this year's opera- tions of the Canadian National Railways. Mr. Fullerton ‘released some striking figures which showed uni operating profit for the rall- way's hotel system more than dou- ble the 1934 figum, an operating ices of $127,000 in connection with the merchant marine in 1934 trans- formed into an estimated profit this year of $237,000 and an estimated profit of $164,000 for the West 1n- line which has showed an u ‘ n, if decreasing, record of deficits since its inception in 1929 . '

Surpassing even these figures, the chairman predicted a gross revenue for the railway system of $173,000,000 for 1936. a betterment of $8,000,000 over 1934.

In presenting the statement he compared the railways showing this year with that of 1931 when the gross revenue was $200,000,000, al- though eamings in 1931 had been 027000.000 more than in 1935. The company will have [$13,003,000 rriore net revenue this year than in 1931. Enormous economies have been put into effect to make such a showing possible. .

"Without attempting the role of prophet. I think we can reasonably feel recovery is now assured. Our experts and inmorls are increasing. recent trade treaties are expected to increase the volume of traihc moving and 1980 should see us well on the way to recovery." Mr. Ful- lerton d

Concluding with a word about railway hotel systems. the speaker g ve an estimation of the value

the tourist trade to Canada. "One frequently hears the argu- ment that the policy of the rail- way constructing the hotel was all wrong. I arm willinarsto admit that certain of these hotels were overbuilt but where, I ask you, would the tourist business of Can- ada be today if these hotels had never been lr-ilt, if it be fully recog- nised that service to the travel- ling plmlio is one of a. railways primary considerations. whatever criticism can be made of overbulld- ing hotels must necessarily to some extent be modified."

"At no time since railways began has there been anything like as many new developments in meth- ods of operation and. design of oquipmentwnd facilities in a sim- ilar period of time as there have been in the last five years," he as-

Iustanclng such improvements as faster freight train schedules, col- lection and delivery of paekage freight, the movement of package ffelkht on local passenger trellis. the simplification of freight and x ress classification, he said fur- th vast improvements in railway service were in sight . Introduc- tion of improved equipment would necessarily be limited by financial conditions and no sudden revolu- tion would take place, equipment being retired would be replaced by wills of new and more emcient design, many kinda of ex- isting locolmotlves and car's would be vastly impPOWd during the bal- ance of their service life by the application cf new appliances and Particularly in the west. said Mr. l-lungerford, there was no justification for exaggerated pessi- mism in regard tofihe future of the

Like m‘. Fullerton, however, he spoke of the effect on railway earn- ings of trucks taking from the rail- ways a certain share of the great- ly reduced volume of trafllc result- ing from the depression. Both fac- tors had reduced gross earnings of Canadian railways in 1933 to less than half what they were in 1920 In humorous vein he remarked that now the railway was in hotel. in Saskatoon welcome those who came by any means of transport and, in closing, told his audience they might regard the Bessbomugn as an expression of confidence on the part of the Canadian National Railways in the future, of the Prairie Provinces generally and of the province of Saskatchewan and the city of Sask- atoon ln particular.

Mr. A. E. Warren, vice-president. Westem region. was chairman of the function which was attended by representatives of the federal and provincial governments. clergy and military. the city and its many civ- ic bodies as well as commercial and industrial business men.
