Excerpt from Extending Period of Government Control of Railroads: Printed for Use of Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House of Representatives
During the war period, essential war necessities had to be met regardless of cost. In peace time, naturally, one Of the chief aims of railroad operation should be the saving of money. But even though expense could not be made the first consideration during the war, strict attention was given to this point and orders were issued to effect savings wherever possible without interfering with the war program. Many of the economies brought about, such as rerouting, common use of terminals, etc., will be reflected but' slightly in the operating income accounts of the carriers for the year 1918. They will appear fully in the statements for the year 1919. Nevertheless, reports so far received from five of the seven regions show that on a group of s'elected principal items savings totaling have been effected in the period from December 31, 1917, to December 31, 1918. Reports from the two remaining regions are not yet available.
