But, the Gazette adds, eff the con-
idence aroused by the improvement
within the past few weeks is sustain
ed it will take many months Of good
business for most of the railroads to
make up for the effects of the depres-
sion. and for many of them even a
large increase in traffic viii not SUI
fee. a railroads condition is not de-
termined by gross earnings alone and
the recent increases in net are largely
artificial They are the result Of very
rigid economies that the roads have
been forced to practice and which
cannot be continued without detri-
ment to both service and property.
The increase in traffic will entail large
increases in expenses and the labor
organizations are already beginning
movements for an eight-houF day aud
for increases Of pay If successful.
these would cause increases in operat-
ing expenses, which. in the absence of
heavy advances in rates, would soon
absorb the enlarged net earnings now
being shown. The improvement in
conditions in the railway and railway
supply field are notable and gratifying
but nowadays the problems presented
10 the arrangements of the railways in
years of good business are hardly less
numerous and difficult than those pre-
scented in years Of bad business"
