Washington dispatch reports Robert N. Woolley of the Interstate Commerce Commission predicting electrification of steam railroads as the next major move. He says coal can be converted to coke for fuel in large electrical stations, conserving coal and petroleum while boosting rail capacity and easing congestion. Electrification, he notes, is cheaper than expanding tracks and reducing grades.
