report no important falling off in the volume of
business as compared with last year. except in
a few instances where special causes have in
1uenced lighter traffic. while according to the
opinion of the traffic in various parts of
the country there is nothing in the outlook that
encourages the belief that the declines in net
results in the first three months Of the year
foreshadow general lowering of net receipts,
barring causes other than the decision Of rail-
road managers to increase their expenditures
from earnings their properties. Gross re-
ceipts are expected to be so heavy that net re-
suits will not be wiped out as a consequence Of
increased charges for labor and materials and
lower freight and passenger rates.
