[165] W. Jett Lauck, a union-labor economist, in a report laid before
the Railroad Labor Board, specifies the avoidable wastes as follows:
1. Modernizing locomotives.--Gross reparable deficiencies are pointed
out which it is claimed might be avoided by the applications of
improvements such as superheaters, brick arches, mechanical stokers,
feed-water heaters, there would result an annual saving of at least
$272,500,000.
