New York. Aug. 2s.-Figures are

results of railroad operations in
June
Returns from 2o5.o0o miles OF road
about 90 per cent OF the country's
total mileage-show that operating
expenses increased So, ,oS7, or
1886 per cent over June Of last year.
Thus. out of s22,565,1l2 increase in
gross, only s627,o25 was saved for

less than ! per cent in net earnings
as compared with the same month Of
last year.
The wage advances had begun to
have decided effect upon operating
expenses at the beginning OF this
summer. and this was one OF the prin.
cipal causes of the shrinkage in net
earnings. The reimbursement of wages
however. did not reach its Anal stage

new TRAINING PLAN
Pennsylvania r. r. to Insti-
tute Method for Opera.
ton of Signals.
STEP AN IMPORTANT ONE

The increasing demand for greater
safety and facility in railroad opera
ton has caused the Pennsylvania
railroad to institute new plan of
training men to maintain and operate
its signals. Accordingly. there have
just been appointed four signal APP
prentices. Jacob Bright, graduate of
Lehigh, 1910; L. ]. Phillips, graduate
of Shefield scientific school. Yale,
1910; A. w. Fisher. 1910 graduate of
Pennsylvania state college: and A.
H. Tasker, graduate of Yale. 1910.
Sheffield scientific school.
The different divisions of the lines
east of Pittsburg have started signal
schools where experienced signalmen
give instruction to the division signal
employees in regard to the proper op-
GRAFTON and maintenance of the differ
ent signal and interlocking appli-
ances.
The importance of this step is indi-
Gated by the fact that, whereas. in
1902 there were but 1891 interlocking
functions In operation on the lines
east of Pittsburg, in 1908 this number
was 20,725-having just about tripled
in a period of six years. These co.
725 functions are operated by S.792
levers. A total of 12.4OS signals are
in service. covering 1886 miles of
road. or 20 per cent of mileage.
Signal apprentices will serve a
three years course. The first year
will be spent on the mechanical end
of the work with the repair and con-
struction gangs, the second year in
the Office of the supervisor of signals.
and the third year on outside work on
electric and electro-pneumatic appli-
ances. They will report to the super
visor of signals while taking this
course.
The next place open to these men
Is the position of assistant signal in
spector in the signal engineers Of
