Mr.. Willard's Statement

The unfavorsble situation Of the
country's transportation industry to
which Mr.. Willard referred was com
monty accepted as an explanation OF
the extreme weakness shown in rail-
road stocks as a whole.
Mr. Willard, commenting on the
earnings Of the Baltimore & Ohio,
said:
Notwithstanding the company will
have handled the greatest business in
its history and will have realized the
largest gross earnings. it is evident
that the operations Of the year will
show earnings applicable TO the COM
mon stock of less than per cent. This
possibiiity was foreseen and cmpha-
sized i'm my statement before the In
tcrstate Commerce Commission on
November 8. The gross earnings o.
the property will exceed those Of the
prcvious year by Sl2, 600, but the
eYpenses will be over sl6,000,0 great
or. TRANSFORMATION expenses alone be-
ing over $i4.0O0,000 in excess OF the
wear 1915. The increased expenses are
due i'm part TO the severe weather con-
ditions which prevailed in February
March and December OF tho current
wear. but are chiefly due 20 the in
creases in rates of pay. and in the
price Of fuel and material, which have
so far been Offset only in part By in
crease i'm rates"

New-York tribune., 1917-12-20

Had it not been for the remark
able progress made toward solving
the "less-than-carload" problem
since the United States entered the
war, the railroads would be in a
much worse position than they are,
and the coal and other localized
stringencies resulting from made
quate transportation facilities
would be extremely acute. That is
evident from examination of the
statistics Of freight operation for
September, the latest month for
which returns are available. The
number Of revenue ton miles pro-
duced during that month increased
