LOSS UNDER 2-CENT RATE LAW.
Pennsylvania Railroad Issues Statement
Showing Operation of Statute.

Philadelphia. Dec. 12.-Referring to the opera
ton OF the 2-cent rate law passed by the Penn
sylvania Legislature, the following statement has
been issued by the passenger department of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company:
An analysis OF the passenger earnings of the
Pennsylvania Railroad for October, the first month
of the operation OF the 2-cent fare law, shows
that the law has caused a large decrease IN
gross and still greater decrease In net
earnings of the lines of the company within the
State of Pennsylvania
In October, 1907 lines in Pennsylvania show n
decrease Of $4,000 while the lines In the Pennsyl-
vlnia system outside Of Pennsylvania show an in
crease OF per cent; this same percentage of in
crease applied state lines would show an in
crease $4,000 instead of decrease of S6i 600.
above.
This decrease in revenue is absolute and has not
been offset in any manner by increased travel
stimulated by the reduction In the rate mile.
The figures stated cover the loss In gross earn
fngs only. The decrease in net revenue, however,
has been still greater account of the Increased
cost operation due TO advances in wages and
cost of maintenance.
