ture. the following statement has been
issued by the officials OF the Pennsyl-
vania railroad:
An analysis Of the earnings OF the
Pennsylvania railroad for October.

gross revenue and a still greater de-
crease in net earnings of the lines Of
the company within the state
In October 1907, the lines within
the state show decrease Of $4,000.
while the lines In the Pennsylvania
system outside of Pennsylvania show
an increase, Of per cent. This same
percentage OF increase applied to state
lines would show an increase Of tt4o.-
000 instead of a decrease of $4,000.
as above
This decrease in revenue is abso-
lute. and has not been offset in any
manner by increased travel. stimulated
by the reduction in the rate per mile.
The figures stated cover the loss IN
gross earnings only. The decrease IN
net revenue. however. has been still
crater on account of the Increased
cost OF operation due TO advances in
wages and cost of maintenance.
