BUSINESS IS GROWING
Hines Predicts Big Increase in
Railway Revenue.
Director OF Roads Expects Larger Net
Profit Will Help Wipe out
Deficit.

Washington, June director Gen
eral Hines of the Railroad administra-
tion, in concluding his testimony at
the house appropriations committee
hearing on his request for $l,200,000,
600 for use in operating the govern.
ment controlled lines for the remain
der of the calendar year, predicted
substantial increase of railroad reve-
OF general business.
The increased business, he said,
would tend to eliminate further gov.
ernment loss from operation of the
roads because the operating costs
would not be advanced correspond
ingly.
Mr.. Hines pointed out that the big.
gest crops in the history of the coun-
try would be moved during the sum.
mer and that an increased coal move
ment was apparent, Industries having
resumed. Purchases stopped after the
signing of the armistice because the
factories had accumulated large re-
serve stocks.
In all probability we are going to
have a great increase in the volume
of business" Mr.. Hines declared, land
this ought to produce a larger net
profit that will go far toward wiping
out the railroad deficit"

Why Railways Ran $780,
100000 Behind.
APPEALS FROM EUROPE
Measures Had to Be Taken to Keep
Europe From Starvation and
These Resulted in Consider.
able Emergency Hauling.

Santa Barbara, Calf, June 7.-W.
g. McAdoo, former director general
OF railroads, said in letter to Thomas
NJ. Starke, publisher of the Daily News
here, that the $200,O00,000 deficit re-
sulting from government control OF
railroads last year was due to meas
ures that had to be taken to keep
Europe from starvation and to win.
Mr. McAdoo related hitherto unpub-
lished facts as to the situation in Feb.
ruary, 1918, when American shipments
OF cereals abroad were 100000 tons
short for the previous two months.
Because of this shortage the pre-
miers of three Allied countries COM
bined in an appeal to President Wilson
to rush wheat, because the morale OF
the Allied peoples was falling.
Food Priority Determined On.
On Feb. 8, 1918, as a result of this
appeal, representatives OF the three
countries and Herbert Hoover, DR.. III.
A Garfield and Carl II. Gray, represen-
ting Mr.. McAdoo, met In Washington
and decided that absolute priority be
granted to food shipments to Atlantic
ports. The Allied representatives
stated they had sufficient bottoms on
hand to carry the wheat-a million
tons of it--oyerseas.
Mr. McAdoo ordered all empty cars
fit for carrying grain rushed to iii.

kotas, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas,

Supply Exceeds Cargo Space.
At the expiration of five weeks from
| the appeal, Mr.. McAdoo declared, he
was able to notify the Allied represen
| tatiyes that there was more grain al
Atlantic ports than their steamships
could handle.
He declared that had 1t not been for
war emergencies of this character the
100000, 900 of 1918 could have been
turned into profit. He added that the
government was spending $4,000 ,00(
day for the winning of the war; sc
that the deficit in reality meant but
three and half days expenditure.
The work of rushing the wheat tC
the seaboard was so quietly performed
that no one outside of official circles
knew of it, according to Mr.. McAdoo.
