Due to the heavily increased costs of
operation and maintenance and TO the
fact that the corporation has wiped its
employees slate clean by discharging all
back pay obligations, November earnings

In net and gross, compared with the fig
ures for November. 1919
The company's net railway operating
income for November was S2,S57S7S.
against s5,066.501 for November, 1919.
Freight revenues and passenger revenues
show moderate increases. due to the new
schedule OF rates, but are more than off
set by the increased costs OF mainten-
ance Of way, equipment and transpor-
tation.

Pennsylvania Road Orders
100000 Tons and N. Y.
Central 175,000 Tons.

Buying Of steel rails by leading rail-
road systems has received a strong
stimulus from the recent action OF In
dependent manufacturers in reducing
prices from $57 to SAT a ton.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has given an order for 100000 tons of
open hearth steel rails for its 1921 pro-
gramme. One-half the order will be
filled by the United States Steel Cor
poration, the other half by independents.
Deliveries will run through all of 1921.
The order was placed with the follow
ing companies Illinois Steel Company,
$4,000 tons; Carnegie Steel Company,
$4,000; Bethlehem Steel and Ordnance
Company, $4,000; Midvale Steel and
Ordnance Company. $4,000. and Lacka-
wanna Steel Company. 10000

used entirely in maintenance and re-
placements, for which purpose 10000
tons We're used in 1919.

ing for 1891 aggregates 175,000 tons.

| Additional rail orders placed recently
with the United States Steel Corporation
were 10000 tons for the Erie, 10000 for

the Chicago and Northwestern. The
Boston Elevated Railway has purchased
LOO tons from the Bethlehem Steel
! Corporation. The Florida East Coast
Railroad is in the market for $1,000 tons
of rails.
| Equipment and railroad men believe
the deadlock between the roads and the
Independent steel makers has been
broken by the reduction of the inde-
pendents' rail price to SAT a ton, the
| Steel Corporations level They point
out that the roads are literally Starved
for rails and that With the price reduced
the manufacturers will have all the
business they can handle before the
dawn of 1921.

pany has received contracts for $500
tons of structural steel for the Provi-
dence Biltmore Hotel. in Providence r.
