Hines.
The estimate revealed that there

$oso. GOO, 600 during the first four

he returned to the Government. This
includes money tied up in working
capital and advanced on account to
the railroad corporations.
MIR. Hines letter, which was writ
ten to Secretary Glass and transmit
ted by the latter to Congress, said:
The operating deficit OF $736, 1884,
$40 for the year 1918 was due large
~ to two facts: First, the winter Of
1918 was unprecedented in its Sc
verify and in its costly effect on rail-
road operations and, second, the in
creases in passenger and freight
rates. averaging about IS per Gene,
were in effect for only a few days in.
excess of six months, while heavily
increased expenses due to war condi-
tons were effective on an ascending
scale throughout the II months.
The operating deficit of approxi-
mately $eso, 200. 900 for the, first four
months in 1918 is due in part to the
cumulative high levels OF (. cost
brought about by the war Tor labor
and materials, and in. part to the sud-
den and abnormal falling off of BUSH
