mo PROFIT LAST YEAR"

New York. March N.-An the Eastern
railroads, II was stated today, are to
follow the lead Of the Pennsylvania In
laying on employees and cutting down
train service.
The PennsyIvania Railroad is to drop
5000 OF its men. The New York Central
will let at least half that number go.
while the smaller roads will make rel
atively the same cut oniciais OF all the
roads agree that not In years has rail-
road business been so shaky.
''Our roads did not earn a cent OF profit
last year." said a New York Central Of
fici=L This was due 10 the falling OF
in freight traffic. and extra expense put
upon us by Federal and state legisla-
ton.
In the freight business we sustained a
slump Of IL per cent. and this has made
IL necessary to cut down the number of
freight trains and drop hundreds Of en-
ployes
Along with the decrease in freight
traffic We have felt keenly the brunt OF
the Federal and state LEGISLATION for
year or more. The full crew bills passed
by many States. the arbitrary cutting
down Of passenger and freight rates and
other legislation has forced up our ex-
penses and reduced the revenue"
Asked. II the railroads held the policy
of the Wilson administration In any way
to blame for the slump that has af-
fected the railroads. the New York Cen
trail Official replied:
That's going into politics and We won't
discuss it."
At the Lackawanna and Erie roads Il
was said already many employees have
been dropped and that the train sched-
ules affecting the freight service were
being readjusted.
