THE strike of the longshoremen IN New York, Of the

SITUAHONOFTHE RAILROADS
Synopsis of Statement Made by Alfred H. Smith,
President of the New York Central Lines, in Rate
Hearing Before Interstate Commerce Commission

THE experience Of six months proves
that the estimates submitted in May
were too low, and the lnadequacy OF
the relief granted Is greater now than
it was then Moreover, since May the
money markets Of the world have be-
come practically closed TO the rail-
roads. and a new situation has devel-
oned with respect 10 our needs for CAPT
tai.
we came here in May showing an
increased cost Of operation and taxes
Of about % per cent. We may say, the
average operating ratios Increased by
the percentages then shown would
make dollar earned this year cost
us I'm operating expenses alone 1876
cents more than In the preceding year.
You gave us 3 cents with which TO
pay 1876 cents, and we cannot even
approximate economies which VIII
make up the difference between this IS
cents additional outlay and the five
cents on the dollar which the new tar
IFS afford. And that does not take
into account the additional taxes that
have been imposed. nor The needs Of
the carriers for additions and better
mcnts.
I'VE estimate that at the close Of
the current year the New York Cen
trail Lines Will show that they have
earned approximately S93O00,O00 more
I'm gross revenues than they did I'm
1915 That Of itself ought to mean
prosperity. but the changes have been
so great in these two years that they
will have, after doing all this extra
work, actually less net corporate in

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. G.-The
situation Of the railrOads-lermed the
first line Of communication with our
armies was pronounced Serious" by
Alfred n Smith, president of the New
York Central Lines, in his statement at
the freight rate hearing opening today
before The Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Giving precise totals and percentages,
President smith set forth conditions IN
Dricf. clear terms. Summing up, he de-
olared:
"For the six years up 90 and in
GLIDING im6. the operating ratio OF the
New York Central Lines combined aver
aged little IN excess OF 20 per cent
that is. out of the average dollar
earned 20 cents were required 10 pay
operating expenses. The remaining 30
cents covered taxes, rents, interest, divi-
dcnds and other capital requirements
Of this 20 cents. about AZ cents were
paid directly TO labor and % cents were
spent for materials and supplies. In
the past year there has come an in
crease Of "A per cent. i'm the rate OF
wages. which. II added TO the previous
~ cents. would raise labor cost to $50
cents Prices Of materials have in
creased 80 per cent. which. il added
10 the % cents formerly spent, would
make the materials cost - cents on
the same relative expenditure Other
things remaining the same, labor and
materials. on the basis OF average con-
dllions and this years wages and
prices. would now absorb $50 cents
out OF each dollar.
"The ratio on the New York Central,
70 should be added, has not been per-
mtted 90 rise TO $50 per cent, in spite
OF the assumption Of additional costs.
IN struggling against these adverse cir
cumslances. constant effort and sacri-
nces have had to be made to prevent
a rise in operating costs fully as great
as that I'm prices and wages.
with such an increase in operating
costs is 10 not plain that II road Is
