IMMENSE CROSS EARNINGS
Railroad Revenues for November surpass
Big Record of Last Year.
FREIGHT RATES GO UP NOTWITHSTANDING
In Face of Unprecedented Returns
MaEnRtes Insist on Larger Tar
ins to Onset Advance I'm
Employer Wages.

In view of the persistent movement
among railroads for a general increase In
freight rates 1t may be interesting to OBJ
serve from of1cial reports that the gross
earnings of the railroads of this country
for last month are far in excess OF the earn
lngs for the same month last year, and 1t
should be borne in mind that the month OF
November, 1901. was a banner month in
railroad earnings. This makes all the more
significant the fact OF the enormous in
creases this year. These facts will be stud
led with considerable interest, since many,
II not all, the railroads have entered into
an agreement to advance freight rates the
first OF the year on the plea that the sources
Of revenue must be enlarged to enable the
railroads to pay the advanced wages which
they have agreed to do.
Union Pacific officials resent the imputa-
tion of an arbitrary increase in rates and
insist that all they and their associate
lines intend doing Is to advance the rates
on a certain number OF commodities which
have been lowered by unusual circum-
stances. But despite these assertions there
Is a tenacious rumor, which refuses to
down, that a general advancement OF rates
will ensue, and that the western as well as
the eastern roads will be in on the deal.
Back Of the rumor is the claim that the
TOduS IRE eleTmlneQ 10 make the p6Ople
pay for the increases in wages granted to
the employees.
The oficial reports show that the heaviest
gains in transportation revenues made dur
ing this period OF unprecedented earnings
were by the western roads. and IL is unofi-
cially reported that as a rule the heaviest
increases made in wage schedules we're on
the eastern roads, so that 1t would seem
from this that some of the roads had taken
a position which might be hard to defend.
But while the largest percentages OF in
crease in gross earnings are those Of the
western roads, 1t is a fact that the roads in
the east and other sections have made
heavy gains. The general volume OF traf-
fc, passenger as we'll as freight. has been
unusually large, not only for the month OF
November, but since the nrst Of the year.
and oficial records show that as a result
OF this heavy transportation many roads
have suffered serious COMPOSITIONS in freight
cars. Few II any roads have idle cars
and many lines are not only unable to care

interesting case and enc in which appar-

Nebraska citizen. c. H. Richard of Falls
City was up to last August quartermaster
at Fort Wingate, N. NJ. He had served
through the civil and Spanish American
wars with credit. and two years ago was
sent to Fort Wingate as quartermaster.
During his service at Fort Wingate he was
sent with a number Of mules to a distant
point. He returned by rail, and instead
Of being allowed to get off at Fort Win
gate he was carried to Guam, N. NJ, a dis
lance of fifteen miles from Fort Wingate.
After a great deal OF persuasion he finally
succeeded in getting an Indian to drive
him to the fort, and at the end OF the jour
ney offered to pay the Indian for his serv-
ices. The Indian refused to accept any
money for the service and so Richards gave
the Indian feed for his horses. The action
Of Quartermaster Richards was learned by
those in authority and consequently Rick

carelessness and lack OF discipline in tho
