change' passengers per annum, many will no
longer make use of this privilege for very short
distances. They do SO now simply because it
can be done for little or no cost IF this estimate
be correct, there will thus be provided an added
available car capacity equal to the now semi
wasted capacity. This will supply the
equivalent of 300 additional cars during the
rush hours, for those passengers whose ride is
of sufficient Importance to justify the payment
of the Scent fare.
Philadelphia has today better street car
service at a less price than any other city. PR.
I. stands alone in supplying uninterrupted
street-car service during the war, and has given
Philadel phia freedom from strikes and labor
disturbances during the entire 9-year period of
present Management.
The MEN AND. MANAGEMENT of P.
R. T. in these days of difficulties between Labor
and Capital represent an asset to Philadelphia
far greater than seems to be generally appre-
ciated. That which is necessary to preserve this
great asset to the community is but the measure
of temporary relief as represented by the
straight scent fare without transfers or
exchanges.
Pittsburgh is now permitted to charge a
1O-cent fare, and this would be necessary here
except for the good work of the MANAGE
MENT AND MEN.
No street-car company in the State has
served it's City during the war in any way to
compare with P R. 7.
No company serves its people so we'll and
no company has such priceless asset to the
City it serves, as is represented in the loyalty
and faithful service of P. r. T. employees; and
yet P. r. T. is the only street railway company
in Pennsylvania that has not yet received the
right to increased revenue
No change in routes, which will increase
the rate of fare during the period of this tenn
porary tariff, will be undertaken without first
applying to the Public Service Commission,
which has the power to order. public hearings
on the question. The free changing of cars at
Juniper Street Station between the subwav.sur.
face and subway-elevated will be continued as
at present.
PR. T. is willing to operate the Frankford
Elevated as part of its system and pay so per
annum upon it's cost, but must get increased
revenue before it takes on any new obligations.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-09-24


increased revenue should be withheld until val
be done to reduce the rentals to underlying COM
panies. If the City now makes the mistake OF
refusing to consent to an immediate increasein
revenue, P. r. T. must fail, and the City will
have exchanged thesubstance, of Management
which has already saved millions in operating
costs, for shadow, which is represented in the
hope of decreasing P. r. It's fixed charges,
through the valuation of its property, or re-
duction in underlying rentals, neither of which
can possibly offset the loss which would follow
a return to conditions of Labor and Manage
ment such as were formerly here, and do now
generally exist elsewhere.
Inventory Of P. R. T. property was yes
terday presented to the Public Service Commis-
sion. Pricing of the parts is proceeding and can
be accomplished with sufficient rapidity to keep
ahead of the City and Public Service Commis-
sion representatives, so that there need be no
delay. In spite of this fact, however, the expe-
rience in similar valuation proceedings else
where, notably Pittsburgh, shows the veri6ca-
ton of p r. It's valuation cannot be accom-

purposes for many months to come
Under the terms of the 1907 Agreement
between the City and the Company it is stated
that fares may be changed from time to time,
but only with the consent of both parties
P. r. 7. has petitioned the City now to as
sent to the collection of straight Scent fare
without transfer exchange ticket. This as
measure of temporary relief to continue until
the value of the Company's property for rate
making purposes, is finally determined as re-
quired by law.
The Mayor and City Council have urged
that the question of increased revenue is for the
City to decide under the terms of the 1907
Agreement. The Company has met this sus-
gestion by Withdrawing its July application
from the Public Service Commission, and has
presented its petition to Council, hoping the
City, having assumed the responsibility, will
rise to the emergency and assent to the tenn
porary relief required to save P. R. T. from
bankruptcy.

p. r. T. NOW HAS IT'S BACK TO THE WALL

P. r. T. must have more money or go to,
the wall! This would mean the loss Of present
Management with probable reversion to con-
ditions thst existed here prior to 1911.
r. X /. operating statement, just made
public, shows deficit of $425, 5,354.2l for the
month of August An accumulated deficit has
been built up during the past several months in
varying amounts until P. r. I. is now short
$l,15 ,628.77 as of August 81.
P. r. T.s operating deficit for the next
twelve months would exceed $4,O0O,000 under
present conditions.
The need of increased earnings is two-fold
the amount required to pay actual operating
costs is necessary in order that the may be
kept running; the amount to pay the agreed SO
dividend on P r. T. stock is required in order
that P. r. I. credit may be sufficiently estab-
lished as to make its guarantee on bonds, to be
issued for desired extensions, of sufficient value
to make them salable.
Up to 1911, when the present Manage
ment came in, car service in Philadelphi was
chaotic; street car strikes had greatly disturbed
the car rider and caused enormous loss to the
community.
Cooperation under present Management
has put stop to all this. dnstead of having
strikes and interrupted car service during the
war, cooperation, between MEN AND MAN.
AGEMENT of P. R. T., secured such settled
conditions as made it possible for Philadelphia
to get more than its share Of war contracts.
These contracts provided plenty of employment
at hig Oh wages, made money plentiful and bene-
fitted everybody-except P r. T.
The established policy of the present Man
asement is that P. r. T., as a public carrier
strives to carry the greatest possible number of
persons at the lowest possible fare.
The car rides per annum in Philadelphia
for each person in the population served have
been increased from 288 rides in 1910 to 49,
for the year 1919, this being an increase Of 19l
rides per annum per persona condition unap.
preached in any other city.
Under the straight Scent fare, without
transfer or exchange ticket. it is estimated that
760,000,000 Scent passengers would remain
undisturbed. 1t is also estimated that of the
present 100000, 900 free transfer and Sc ex-

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Business on the stock exchange today dwindled to about $50, 0,O0O shares, the smallest to- tai since February 3. 1919. and far less than the average week end two hour session of recent months.
 Movements of stocks were in keep ing with the insignificant total. Many of the standard railroad and industrial issues were only occasionally dealt in and some remained unQuoted through cut the day.
 In point of fact. the stock market was most often subordinated to trad ing in bonds. Further very extensive liquidation of Liberty bonds and Vic tory notes forced most of these pre- mier war issues to new low levels.
 Bankers were almost unanimous in ascribing the additional depreciation of these securities to the enforced needs of individuals and corporations who found themselves unable or uu- willing to borrow money at the pre- vailing high rates and scarcity of funds.
 The only stocks to manifest more than a slight degree of activity and strength were those comprising the sugar and food groups with intermit- tent firmness in feathers, tobaccos and shippings. Oils, the recent main stay of the market, were variably lower and changes in steels, equip ments and motors denoted little more than the mixed views of the profes- sional operators.
 No attention was paid to the money market, although call loans eased from to per cent and a few time loans for short dates were reported at S% per cent Brokers reported less than the usual amount of business in changes were the rule.
 Extreme declines in Librty bonds ranged from one tenth to one and one half per cent. the ,31a's alone holding steady.

Rush Lumber to Convention Hall
 To Beat Strike

CHICAGO, May IS. Rumors of threatened strike of teamsters and chauffeurs led today to the rushing of lumber to the vicinity of the Coli scum, on the scene of the national Republican convention. Tonight the streets and alleys near the building were piled high with 100000 feet of lumber to be used to prepare the Co., liseum for the 2000 delegates and al ternates and 111,000 spectators ex- pected to attend.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

There seems little reason to anticl-
pate any far reaching disaster from
the causes that have created the pan
les and depressions of past years. Yet
other causes arc working toward a
distinct recession in business. The
general continent of the community
looks for gradual yielding of prices.
This will make merchants slow in or
dering goods. They will wish TO keep
their stocks cleaned up as we'll as
possible.
3 The retail trade is passing through
an experience that tends to make any
business man cautious, and a good
many of them rather sore. Many Of
the retailers were urged to stock up
heavily, and were induced to buy
freely on what seemed a steadily ad-
vancing market. Now they don't fee
very happy to have their loans call
ed, and to be forced to sell on drop
plug market. The experience is lead
ing many business men to predict
that orders will come in rather slow
for the next Pew months.
/ Then Of course there is the reviS al

faster than the business community

news of strikes and disturbances.
Little is said about the hard work
which is getting industrial production
back in shape. The workers are en-
ployed shorter hours, but lot of the
women are working, and making up
the shortage in production.
Europe is making a tremendous bid
for export trade. 1t will get good
deal of the business that the United
States had during the war from
South America and other countries
outside Europe, unless the United
States finds some way to reduce pro-
duction costs. Imports are coming in
to this country faster every month.
All these conditions must tend to
some let-up in activity. 1t is hard to
imagine tat the coming season
should manifest the clamorous de-
mand for goods that characterized
the past II months.
