WILLARD TAKES ISSUE
WITH HINES FIGURES

BALTIMORE. Md. December 81
President Willard of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, in a speech at a
dinner given tonight by the Balti-
more Chamber of Commerce in honor
OF Carl r. Gray, retiring president of
the Western Maryland railroad and
the newly elected president of the
Union Pacific system. took issue with
the figures compiled by Director Cen
eral Hines. which showed that when
the roads come back to private own
ership they will show an increased
pay. roll of 35 per cent.
The more nearly correct figures,
Mr.. Willard stated, was 10 per cent.
Increased cost of operating the rail-
roads when they come back will be
upward Of $1,700. 100000 and will
yield revenue under $1,000, 900 900,
which means the roads will be short
about $500, 100000.
The rates today would yield the
roads no surplus and no dividend. His
solution of the problem which now
confronts Congress consists in in
creasing the rates.
Mr.. Gray, in his remarks after thank
Ing the merchants Of Baltimore for the
honor accorded him. also discussed the
general railroad situation, saying the
railroads were in transition stage, and
that 1t would take a very wonderful
prophet to tell what the coming years
were going to evolve for them But
there must inevitably result a hiatus, in
which the credit Of the railroads of the
nation will be poor indeed.
