COST REDUCTION
MUST NOT HURT
RAIL TRAFFIC
Traffic Director Tells Plan to
Keep Up Work for the
Shipper.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 49,
Plans for curtailing the expense OF
railroad traffic organizations without
cutting off sources of information tC
shippers concerning rates and routings
were outlined today by Edward Cham
bers, traffic director of the railroad
administration, in instructions to the
three regional directors.
Mr.. Chambers suggests that suffic
lent information can be furnished
through The joint tariff bureaus main
tanned by railroads in the principal
commercial centers, including New
York. Chicago, st. Louis, Atlanta, and
San Francisco, with subbureaus in the
more important shipping regions.
So-called passing reports" showing
the progress of shipments, should De
greatly reduced and developed into a
a mail service for nonperishable traf-
fic. said the instructions. Telegraphic
reports must be continued on the To-
cation Of live stock and perishable traf.
fic in transit, although the number of
messages can be cut down.
Loss in Railway Earnings.
Railroads in the first three months
this year earned only $71,705,000, as
compared with $179,431 900 in the same
period last year. making loss to the
government unde' the system of COM
mon operation of about 09,000,000.
This report today b.. the interstate
commerce commission covers all ex-
cept five Of the 1876 railroads in the
country.
The net income in March was $685.
033.000. or $7.000,000 less than in
Marco, 1917. This difference, much
less than in the preceding months, in
dicates that conditions are becoming
better for government operation, and
returns from later months may go far
toward making up the loss.
Operating revenues in March were
1865 100000 and operating expenses
1882 100000, making ne. revenue lit
tie over $S2,000,000. From this was
deducted taxes of $15,000,000 and rents
for equipment and joint facilities, leav-
ing the net income, the item on which
government compensation is based,
S63,000,000.
Eastern Lines Fall OF.
Eastern railroads earned S16,S70,000.
as compared with S23,000,000 in March
last year; western roads, $30,000,000,
as compared with s31, 100000 in March
last year. and southern roads reported
$4,000, 900, about $1,000,000 more than
in March last year.
For the three months period the fall
ing off in net income was caused
mainly by the record of eastern roads,
which reported a deficit of $15.924,000,
as compared with earnings of $51 ,s62,-
900 last year. Western carriers earned
$4,000 900 as compared with $S4.000,.
