Falling Or of Street Car Traffic In
Philadelphia-Big Carpet Mills
to Resume-New York
Icemen Encouraged.

New York, Jan. 24.-Figures pre-
pared for one of the large railroad
companies show that week ago there
were 100000 idle freight cars in the
United States and about 5000 loco
motives which are laid up because of
the falling off in traffic. As there are
100000 freight cars in the country,
this would show that IA per cent of all
the cars owned by railroads are stored
on railroad tracks waiting for loads.
Ties Up $44O,OOO,OOO.
Figuring the value Of cars t $1,000
each and OF DcOmOtiv' H5,OOU
each, the statement 81 the
railroads have $4,000 p in
rolling stock for which rnel l., 49,, pres,
ent use. The great shortage in rolling
stock last year caused large orders for
cars to be placed by railroads. AS
age was $1,000 cars. Estimating the
average freight train at forty cars, the
320, 900 cars now idle would be equiva-
lent to 5000 trains, for handling each
of which four men are ordinarily re
Quired, so that it may be estimated
that more than 10000 men less are
needed than if all of these cars were
in service.
Talk of Reducing Wages.
Many men have been laid off-the

the beginning Of this month, has laid

But fixed charges of a railroad must
be met in dull times as well as in ac
tive, and maintenance and other eS
penses must be provided for, and in
view of all the facts the arrangements
of many railroads are understood to be
discussing the question of reducing
wages, as a disliked, but necessary
measure.
