DECREASED NET INCOME
OF u. S. RAILWAYS SHOWN
Report Issued for May by Director
General Compares With Same
Month Year Ago.

Operating revenues of the railroads
of the United States showed an in
crease of S36.542,ss4, or 9s per cent,
for May, 1919. as against May. 1918,
a report issued by Director General
Hines shows. Net operating revenues
for the roads during May, 1919, were
5s.637.741. as against s90.990,l12 for
the same month year ago, a de-
crease of So, 352,37l. The net operating
income showed a decrease OF $32,S53. $50.
In the report Mr.. Hines explains
that one-tweifth of the annual rental
a51.326, SO that the loss to the gov
eminent for the month of May was
1851 $3.50 for the railroad properties.
''Inasmuch as the present rates are
considered to be approximately rs
per cent higher than they were last
year, the increase in operating reve-
nues OF not more than 9.8 per cent
would seem to indicate that total
TRAFFIC as expressed in ton miles and
passenger miles has fallen off IL per
Off in freight traffic alone amounted
/ to 1875 per cent This decrease was
partially offset by an increase in pas
senger traffic. In making further
comparison for 1913, it should also
l be borne in mind that the increased
wages for May, 1918, were not
charged into operating expenses until
subsequent months
| Operating loss to the government
for the f1ve-month period ending with
May 81. 1918, was 1886, lO0.552, an in
crease of $109, 1853, 1852. In commenting
on this the director general says it
must be remembered that the COM
parison between the five-month
period is substantially affected by the
fact that the wage increases for these
five months in 1918 could not be in
cluded in the accounts until in later
months and that the rate increases
approximately % per cent, which were
in effect this year were not effective
during these five months last year.
During the first six months of 1919,
railroads carried 4.276,949 troops on
special or regular trains In addition
to this number of troops something
like two million officers and men made
railroad trips while on furlough and
there were approximately a million
men who travelled to their homes.
where they were discharged. OF the
troops carried during the first six
months of 1919. 1,642.34S were dis
charged soldiers travelling at the q
cent a mile rate.

As a permanent settlement Of the
problem, kingshury advocated a law
relieving the telephone companies Of
numerous different forms Of state
regulations. He said congress should
siandsrdize the control under which
the varioss companies comprising the
big systems operate so that they would
not be subjected to one sort Of regnlO-
tion in one state and another sort in q
different state
p. p. Mekinnon, vice president Of
the United States Independent associa.
tion, representing 1900 independent
telephone companies, urged the commit
tee to return the properties BY June 30.
He also asked that rate increases be
continued temporarily aud that con
gress consider the financial situation
Of the independents. many Of whom
have been forced he said. to forego
dividends, due to Increased wagCA and
material costs.
Before long. MeKlnnen said, tele-
