Very nearly one-third Of the freight

Assuming that invested capital
should earn at least per cent. the
Pennsylvania system is losing inter-
est at the rate OF s4,30o.0O0 per year
on its idle cars and locomotives. A
freight ear is worth 81 900 as an av-
erage and locomotive close to 500
coo
The actual daily figures for
May show that the decreases in the
latter part of the month were much
heavier than in the early part. Thus.
while the average loss in traffic for
the entire month. as shown by the
car-movement observations. was it,
tie more than l6 per cent, the losses
in the last ten days of the month av-
eraged very close to 2 per cent The
opening days of June have shown no
material change. Idle cars on the
Pennsylvania system are now at the
maximum and traffic is at the mini
mum volume recorded since general
business began to slump.
