ROADS INCOME LESS
 BUT REVENUE LARGER
LINES ARE RECOVERING FROM PARALYZlNG EFF ECTS OF
 BLIZzARDs AND EMBAFGOES

Washington, July 2.--Reduction of $10S, l96, ,S56 in the operating income of 123 of the largest railroads during the first five months under government control. compared with the same period year ago, was announced to- day by the interstate commerce com mission.
 In May, the last of the five months, the roads were beginning to recover from the paralyzing effects of bliz- cards and embargoes and the operat- ing income rose to a point nearer last years figures For the five months the total was $lS6,9S11l4, compared with $2951S3,970 during that period last year, and for May it was $6i- 27G,805, against $76 290.630 last May. In spite of the reduced operating in come revenues of tlle roads actually were larger for the five months this year than last. They were $l,390,T 2S2 .620, compared with Sl,274970,495, leiying margin which was more than eaten up by increased expenses. For May, operating revenues were $313, ,790ISl, as against $2S4,7S2,55O in I19l7. Operating expenses for May, l191S were $236,68S,36S against $l96, 753.1f0 for May, 1917. The net rev enue from railway operations during
 May. 1918, the commission found, was
 $771O1,S13. only $10,O000O0 below the net revenue in 1917, which was
 $S79S0,4l0.
 In reporting the figure on which government compensation is based which is the railroad operating in- come less certain debits for equip
 ment and joint facility rents, the com mission found that the net income ol the 123 railroads for May, 1918, was
 $61002,511, against $75,57O,S22 1T
 May. 1917,
 Operating income of the easterI
 railroads was $31 1,1S6,6t5 in May, 1918
 against $33,923.iSS. Tn the gesten
 district it was s22,565,44 against $S3,- 334,0SS. Southern roads, with si0.- 524,746 in May. 1918, against $9,033, l05f, exceeded the operating income figure for the previous year.

PLANS GO FORWARD TO
 TAKE TELEGRAPH LINES
ONLY FIGHT EXPECTED IS OVER THE QUESTION OF A TIME LIMIT FOR CONVENIENT
 OPERATION.

Washington, July 2 Plans for enacting legislation before the sum mer recess authorizing President Will son to take over telegraph, telephone, cable and radio systems went forward in congress today. while three mem bers of the cabiet emphasized their approval of the proposal before the interstate and foreign commerce com mittee. The house committee. after hearing the cabinet -Secre- taries Baker and Daniels, and Post master General Burleson-drranged to meet tomorrow to preIaro a report or the resolution of Representative As well, of Louisiana, which has been endorsed by President Wilson.
 The only fight expected is over the question of time limit for govern ment operation A limit suggested to- day was opposed by all three wit nesses.
 Secretary Daniels and Postmaster General Burleson frankly advocated permanent government ownership of wire and radio communications. Mir. Baker urged government control dur ing the war as a military necessity to protect government secrets and facilitate the transmission Of govern ment dispatches.
 The heads of the two war making branches declared their attitude was not influenced by the strike of West ern Union operators called for July s and was based entirely upon military needs.
 MT Burleson, long an advocate of government operation of communica- tions. said the threatened strike was one reason for action at this time.
 Representative Gordon, of Ohio, moved the Aswell resolution be taken from the commerce committee and re- ferred to the military committee since it was proposed as a military necec- sity. The otion was carried without opposition, but upon hearing a state ment by Chairman Sims of the com merce commission, the house reversed itself.
