RAILROAD CREDITS
ARE IMPAIRED
A Decrease of $44, 100000.
in Earnings Is
Alleged

Washington, Sept. l0.--President Viii
son was asked yesterday by the repre-
sentatves of seven of the biggest rail
roads in the country to use his influence
sion to grant an increase in revenues.
He was likewise asked to impress upon
the public the general necessity Of up
holding the credit of the roads at time
of financial crisis, due to the European
war, and to prevail as far as possible
upon state authorities to adopt a more
liberal attitude toward the roads.
For more than an hour the railroad
presidents, including Samuel Iea of the
Pennsylvania; Daniel Willard of the
Baltimore & Ohio; 4. p. Ripley CT the
Atehison, Topeka & Kansas; Frank
Trumbull, representing the Chesapeak &
Ohio and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas;
Hale Holden, Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy, and Fairfax Harrison OF the
Southern, laid before the president what
they described as an unprecedented sit
uation in railroad finance.
They pictured the difficulties OF the
roads in facing maturing Obligations of
$520000000 with the New York stock
exchange and other agencies for the sale
of new securities, of necessity closed in
definitely against a possible wholesale
unloading by European investors OF
American railroad securities. They cited
the continued regulation by federal and
state authorities. which kept operat-
ing revenues at low level and existing
wage agreements which prevented the
roads from economizing on their pay
rolls.
The net operating revenue of the rail
roads of the United States for the year
ending June 30, 1914, they told the pres
ident, was Sl20 100000 less than for the
previous year, or about Is per cent
The gross earnings for the year, they
told him, were S44,000,000 less than for
l9l3-expenses and taxes S76,000.000
more.
The president listened carefully to the
arguments presented. The railroad ex-
ecutives were careful to refrain from
any averse criticism of the interstate
commerce commission, holding only that
the conditions obtaining when the com
mission declined this summer to be as
liberal as the roads desired, had ma
terially changed.
When the hour was up the president, |
asking for copy of the brief from
which his visitors argued, promised to |
take their requests under serious con
sideration. He did not commit himself, |
but on leaving the White House the rail |
road presidents expressed entire salts.

Having left to the president the ques-
ton of deciding how much information
should be given out concerning their |
visit, they distributed to the newspaper
men copies of a 500 word statement.

dent.

and 700 scenes. This picture will be the

1t was discovered by the district at
torney's investigators that the net profit
of one of the inner rings of this syndf-
cate, known as the Big Five, was over
81 800, 900. They collected tribute from
over 60 different places which they con
trolled. They boosted the ownership of
over 1000 white slaves and from their
earnings deducted 80 per cent for them
selves This tribute, the district attor-
ney's Office found, was paid every morn
ing between the hours of and 5, at the
trust headquarters, in the upper floor of
a Raines Law hotel on Sixth avenue
between 9th and 2Sth streets. This Of
flee is reproduced in the picture and the
method of making payments is portrayed
accurately for the first time.
Social workers in New York have par
ticularly endorsed this feature of the

situation in large cities entirely of any
attractive qualities, and places it, as it
actually is, upon sordidly commercial
basis.-Adv.
