CUT IN RAILROAD
EARNINGS FOR PAST
2 MONTHS FORECAST

Washington December STA substan-
tial reduction in railroad earnings for
the month of November and December
was forecast tonight by Director General
Hines. I'm a resume of conditions re-
sulting from the coal strike, Mr.. Hines as
serted that losses to the public from the
stoppage of mine labor would total mill
lions OF dollars.
There is the further unfortunate eff
feet" he continued that railroad oper-
atoms for November and December, and
perhaps for a substantial period there
after. viii entirely lose their value as a
measure of current railroad earning ca
pacty"
The railroads employed every precau-
tionary means at their command in de-
feating increased costs of operation dur
ing the strike, said the director gen.
eral. but strike conditions developed new
and intricate problems. Extra hauling of
coal to avoid famines, extra terminal
charges for handling the added burden
and a heavy reduction in revenues re-
suiting from the cessation of new coal
shipments combined to cut the net OPP
Grating returns, it was explained.

PATRONS SUPPLY
OWN INTOXICANTS


restrained The customary crowds
thronged Broadway, but the cowbells
and horns which on previous New
Years nights threatened the eardrums
of every one within hearing were much
modulated in tone tonight and there
was little of the riotous horse play that
previous years had known.
In downtown New York. favorite
play of the jewellers in years
gone by, the crowds on the streets as
the witching hour approached were
both meager and apathetic.
Even at Trinity church, where thou
sands of New Workers were wont to
assemble to listen to the famous chimes
welcome the New Year, only a small
gathering collected.
The brilliantly lighted and gorgeous
ly decorated dining rooms of New
York's famous hostelries offered
scenes in striking contrast to the list
less crowds on the streets outside. From
early in the evening automobiles and
vehicles of all descriptions unloaded
precious cargoes of wines and liquors,
guaranteed not to contain wood alco-
hol, at the doors of the hotels. These
were consignments from private sup
plies of. the guests who had reserved
tables weeks previously for the cele
bration. Prices in these places for
1898 farewell meal ranged from $3.50
a plate to s25 upward.
But between the champagne drink
ers in the fashionable hotels and the
subdued celebrators on the sidewalks
there was a third class of welcomers
who also included John Barleycorn in
their greeting to 1920 These repre-
scented the large number of citizens who
had managed to save bottle or two
of the forbidden liquor when Johns
doom was decreed and who offered
them tonight in memory of the days
gone by. Every restaurant in New
York was crowded with family parties
who surrounded tables on which black
bottles were discreetly clothed in white
paper bags.
In the restaurants and hotels the
welcoming process continued with con-
siderable gayety for the better part of
the night. but the citizens who had
neither black bottles in paper bags nor
any other kind of bottles disappeared
from the streets very shortly after they
were assured by the bells of thousand
steeples that 1920 had really arrived.
