Gossip has It In the financial dis
trict that traction companies In New
York State are contemplating the ad-
visibility OF applying TO the authori-
ties for an increase in fares from o
cents to 9 cents. This movement -
due to increased wages and cost OF
operation so far as the upstate trae-
tions are concerned, but there Is
another reason for the advance In
New York city. It has been stated
that additional taxation will be neces-
sary to raise several million OF dollars.
In authoritative quarters 1t Is suggest
ed that this means increasing an al
ready burdensome load. One plan that
has been talked about to ease this
condition Is for the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
B. R. T. contracts to be enforced i'm
mediately so the city may reap the
benefit OF the increased fare as taxes.
Gossip yesterday carried the assertion
that under such a plan the increase
of cent in the fare on traction lines
in the city would more than make up
the money needed by the city admins
tration. II was suggested also that
the 6-cent fare would make good 20

A. G. 4 W. 1. EarnInEH.

The net earnings Of the Atlantic
Gulf and West Indies Company are
followed so closely by those interest
ed in IT, say Hayden, Stone & Co.,
that many perhaps have rather lost
Eht of the fact that the February
gross earnings were the largest this
company has yet reported, exceeding
those for July, 1916. which with one
exception had held the record up to
this time, by about 100000. This
cry large volume OF business is of
course pleasing, but on the other
1and the fact that the four sub
sidiary operating companies earned
5000, 900 less in net than last July
also rather calls attention to the fact
nat the higher cost of operation Is
being felt to q certain degree by
,teamships as well as by other forms
4 business. The operating expendl-
lures and fixed charges Of the sub
sidiary lines in July. 1915, consumed
less than 20 per cent OF the gross.
while in February OF this year these
items took up 76h per cent On the
other hand, on this same basis Feb
ruary makes a very favorable COM
parison with the same month of the
previous year, as in February, 1916,
the proportion OF gross taken up by
expenses and charges was so per cent.
The fact remains that the February
earnings this year were substantially
equivalent to the two months earnings
of January and r ebruary of last year
or to put IT another way, the com
pany has in the first two months OF
1917 shown q gain In net OF S736.OOO
over the same two months OF last
year. Presumably the March figures
will record another substantial gain,
as 1t was not until April of last year
that the company began to report Its
heaviest earnings. This gives the
company at least a very fair start
over last year on the comparative
figures. Looking at the matter how
ever, in a broader way, the outstand
ing feature, of course. is that the
Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies Is In q
position to supply perhaps the only
commodity-ocean freight carrying
capacity-whIch in spite of being In
great demand for the last three years
has actually decreased in volume ano
OF which there is today certainly mol
an oversupply under normal peace
conditions.

MACHINERY REPLACES MEN
American Genius To Supply Lack
of Farm Labor.

American-made farming machinery
will solve one OF the wars prob
lems-the labor shortage.
After many conferences with heads
of the Department OF Agriculture, II.
D. Vigor, secretary Of the royal COM
mission on wheat supply, with the
British war commission, today as
serted that the use Of machinery in
farming in America would overcome
the depletion OF men and practically
solve the labor question.
During these conferences Vigor
has placed in the hands OF the agri-
cultural experts all OF the lessons
learned by England in her efforts to
stimulate food production. The de-
partment now has a clear idea Of
the extent to which England and her
allies are depending upon America
the new ally-for food.
1.-THE high prices in this country
will do more to stimulate production
than anything else" Vigor said.
