The average Canadian freight train earns $5.00 per mile travelled; the average passenger train cars only $2.00.

V. J. Piette, rector of the Wilversily Profes- sor E. Montpetit one of his asszo- ciates accompanied the party. They Of course, some kinds of freight are more profitable than others. There is very little margin of profit in carrying grain, first because the rates applicable to it are lower per ton per mile than the rates on any other commeodity, and second because the grain movement is a peakload traffic, calling for an enormous investment in cars that are idle the greater part of the year. But there is a substantial margin of profit in hauling general merchandise.

When for instance, due to insufficient tariff protection, the Libbey - Owens glass factory in Hamilton was forced to surrender the Canadian field to its sister plant in Belgium, Canadian railways lost the hauling of 2,000 carloads of raw material per year! ; If Canadian cotton and woollen mills only had the making of the textiles that for us, end ae only we import every year, our railways would have the hauling of another 50,000 carloads per year of raw material freight.
