That rate of gain is slacken- ing, especially as to the net. is indicated by a gain of $2OO,OOO,OOO in the yearly gross and $69,OOO,OOO in the yearly net, comparing with June 30 year, whereas the gains be. tween the fiscal years 1915 and 1916 were $5OO,OOO,OOO in gross and more than $3OOOOO,OOO in net.

 What has happened to the railroad earnings since the outbreak of the European war Is a train of perfectly familiar phenomena When business recoycrs after a period of depression, during which operating expenses have been forced down to the mini mum of safety, the net increases are for time out of proportion to the gains in gross. Then half a dozen factors of rising expense, including deferred maintenance and wage con. sessions, begin to operate. The ev- penses begin to advance faster than the gross, and the net correspond. ingly falls off, at first only in the rate Of increase, but later absolutely.
 With a slackening rate of gain in the gross. due in part to the com parisOn with the rising prosperity oG @ year ego, the individual roads have already begun to report decreases in their net. Railroads as a whole may show some increases in thicr net for the fiscal year to end June 90, next, but 1t will be nothing like the gain for 1916. That does not mean show some increases in their net good in themselves. The point is that one or two years of expanding profits are no assurance that all is well with the railroads, that they can easily pay what organized labor would like to receive, and that the rates are quite as high as their conscience allows.
