HADLEY HOPEFUL
OF THE N. H. ROAD
Sees Basis in ElliOtt'S Eco
Monies for Big Surplus
of Earnings.

Springfield, Mass, Jan. 4.-Presidens
Arthur T. Hadley of Yale University
spoke before the Twentieth Century
Club of this city this evening on the
railroad situation, with special fe1er-
ence to the New York, New Haven q
Hartford Railroad, of which company
ne is a director. He said in substance'
"The present condition OF the Ne"
Haven Road was brought about by
combination OF some unwlse hnance
with a great deal of unwise operation
and unwise politics.
I'm 1913 the New Haven road paid
100000 more for wages and fuel
than would have been the case at the
prices which prevailed ten years
earlier. and received no more Tor us
services. This trouble was felt by rail
roads throughout the country, but IL
bore particularly hard on the New
Haven because this road derived so
large a part OF its revenue from pas
sengers.
methods of handling freight had be-
come more economical as the volume
of traffic increased. Methods of ham
ding passengers became more expen-
sive under the same conditions. Inc
authorities of New York State compel
the New Haven road to do its commu-
tation passenger business at rates
which mean a direct loss OF nearly
81 600. 700 a year. The United States
government penalties the road an
equal amount for the carriage Of the
mails. These three things. taken to-
gether. would have involved a serious
reduction of the New Haven dividend
even if there had been no outside pur-
ehases of any kind.
"If the business OF the country, anu
particularly that of New Eng land
should recover from the present de-
nression within a reasonable time, the
economies already brought about by
Mr.. Elliott, coupled with the more
friendly policy of the Interstate. Com
merce Commission to the road IN the
matter of rates, are sufficient TO IN
sure a substantial surplus OF earnings
above expenses from the road ITSELF
while the terms of the Supreme Court
decree regarding the sale OF OUTSIDE
holdings and the excellence OF the
trustees selected under that decree are
such as to give ground for hope that
the loss on these properties VIII De
by no means so great as was at one
time assumed"
