Washington, Nov. Retrospective
loss to the government thru operation
OF railroads and guaranteeing fixed re-
turns to the companies has been re-
duced to about 5000, 100000 for the
nine months period ending October l.,
from approximately $5O0,000,00O the
threatened loss several months ago.
This was indicated today by the inter-
state commerce commissions report
that the net sum which the govern
ment will receive from operations of
the leading railroads for the nine
months is s51S,656.0O0.
The share of the estimated $780,
100000 guaranteed return for the year
due to the railroads from the govern
ment for this period is calculated at a
little more than 500, 600, 900 or nearly
5000, 100000 more than the railroad
earn for the government. For the nine
months up to October /, total railway
revenues from leading roads amount
penses s2,S61. $4,000. Deductions of
549, 900 of which $51S,65S,00 goes to
the government railroad fund.
The railroad administration, Off
Gals declare, has no immediate inten-
ton of materially reducing freight
rates. but Director General McAdoo
has under consideration a recommen-
dalton that he remove the half cent a
mile extra fare charge for Pullman
travel. The effect of this would be
to increase Pullman travel and de-
crease coach patronage. a result not
considered entirely desirable by the
government.

ance company for $2,s9s.5S. for which
amount he, says he was insured when
he was shot by a burglar a few years
ago. The insurance company refuses
to pay the claim on the ground that
the plaintiffs disability is caused by

collected $3.50 from another COM
pany, to demonstrate the nature of his
injury to the jury.
