Hines stresses The point that there was
an extraordinary fall or OF business
following the signing Of the armistice.
The traffic figures OF the railroad adj
mlnistration do not support so em-
phatic a declaration. There was a de-
crease. but not a heavy decrease; the

test period Mentioning a subordinate
cause Of the deficit Mr.. Hines does not
mention the chief cause.-The addition
OF nearly $500 a year TO the compensa-

Here was the chief cause OF the deficit,
and IL does not seem wise to gloss II
over. The increases were perhaps
iustlflable, but let us recognize that
they occurred and that the financial
consequences were inevitable.
What's to be done? No choice seems
20 be offered but to raise rates again.
Mr.. Hines, by the plea OF abnormality,
has sidetracked the issue, but It cannot
long be kept on a sidetrack. How much
rates can be lifted without making the
loss on traffic more than Offset the gain
in increased charges is not known and
can be ascertained only by experiment.
