Page 30 LOCOMOTIVE FUEL PERFORMANCE RECORDS Ofice of Fuel Agent, St. Louis URING the month of June we had a decrease in both freight and switch performance as compared to June last year. The freight performance decreasing from 148 pounds per 1,000 gross ton miles June last year to 143 pounds per 1,000 gross ton miles this year, a decrease of 3.38 per cent. The average train haul decreased from 1,512 to 1,406. In switch service the pounds per switch locomotive mile was 134 pounds June this year compared to 137 pounds June last year, a decrease of 2.19 per cent. This is the first month in which we have had a decrease in switch performance since February, each month this year compared to com- parative months last year. In passenger service there was a slight increase in the performance for the first time this year, in fact this is the first increase in passenger service since July 1930 compared to July 1929. June performance was 14.3 as compared to 14.2, June last year, an increase slightly less than 1 per cent. The Eastern division had a decrease of 6.06 per cent, Southern and Texas Lines equaling their performance of last year and balance of the di- visions having increases ranging from 2 per cent to 13 per cent. As usual during the summer months special effort is made by all concerned to make a certain goal in fuel performance, each class of service a lower unit of consumption in freight service than any previous record, and in passenger and switch service 2s low a performance as we can reason- ably expect under the conditions. The management has given us the goal for this summer a record low performance, freight service of 135 pounds per 1,000 gross ton miles, in passenger service 13.5 pounds per car mile and switch service 130 pounds per switch locon~otive mile. Based on the performance of June we will all have to pet our shoulders to the wheel to reach the above standards, which are not impossible and with each one do- ing his "Bit" we will make a record this summer of which we will be proud.
