$780, 900, 900 Spent for
Nep Equipnent in 1920

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--During the
year 1920 the railroads of the country
spent S349, 100000 for new equipment,
according to figures announced to-day
by Robert s. Binkerd, of the Associ-
alton of Railway Executives. The larg-
est item of expenditures was S135,00O,-
600 fox $4,000 freight cars. and the
railroads, Mr.. Binkerd said, now are
trying to make financial arrangements
to secure an additional total of $4,000
cars. Purchase of $4,000 refrigerator
cars at a cost of SGT 00,000. and 1,5OO
new locomotives, at q cost of $105,O00,-
900, is planned, and contracts already
have been made for 1900 passenger
cars, to cost $42,OOO,OOO, he said.
In addition to equipment contracted
for by the railroads the Pullman COM
pany, Mr.. Binkerd said, is building 500
new cars, none having been built dur
ing Federal control.
Mr.. Binkerd declared it would be i'm
possible for the railroads to make large
capital expenditures even il the new
freight and passenger rates bring the
roads a 6 per cent return, as they
would be forced to go into a and s
per cent money market to secure need
ed funds.
Advances to the carriers authorized
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion from the revolving fund created
by the transportation act had totalled
$139,852,7S7 at the end OF last year, it
was learned to-day The advances in
December totalled S64,279,923, the larg-
est during any single month.

For Traffic Slump
Railroad Executives Look
for Decline in Operations
This Year, but Not Pessi.
mistic; Opinions SURVEYED

Many executives Of leading railroads
of the country express the belief tha,
traHic during 1921 will not come ND to
the record of 1920, but they are Of the
opinion that this expected falling off
Will be offset partially by the higher
freight rates now in effect. declines
IN prices Of materials and supplies and
greater efficiency on the part of en-
ployees. Some are in favor of waiting
further developments in industry and
commerce before putting into operation
definite plans for betterments and ex-
tensions, but others have already pre-
pared their budgets.
In survey of the railroad outlook
tor the current year The Railway Jour-
nal has published the opinions of a
number of executives. W. B. Storey,
president Of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, predicted that both freight
and passenger traffic for 1921 will be
less than last year, but he believes
that the carriers ought to save enough
IN costs of operation to maintain net
earnings on a reasonable basis.
Daniel Willard, president of the Bal
timore & Ohio, was inclined to think
that traffic will be less and that the
new rates and declining prices, with
increased efficiency, viii not entirely
offset the effect Of q business recession
on net earnings.
Hale Holden, head of the Chicago,
Burlington e. Quincy, sees no reason
why business should not resume normal
volume, and favors "a normal budget
in so far as it may be maintained CON
sistently with business conditions"

volume of traffic throughout 1921. :

Planning to Build
Plant in St. Louis
Project May Ultimately De.
velop Into Expenditure of
100000 Preparing
for Future Business

The American Locomotive Company
1t was learned yesterday, is working on
plans for the construction Of a new
plant IN the st Louis industrial sec
ton which may ultimately lead to the
expenditure of 100000. Belief that
the demand for locomotives durinl the
next few years will be more than suf-
hclent to tax the capacity of its pres
ent facilities is understood to be back
OF the present expansion program.
Interests of the company said that
the initial expenditure on the pro- jected
st. Louis plant will probably range
between $5,000000 and $4,000, 900.
Financing of the new enterprise will
be arranged from surplus reserves and
through bank loans, according to those
conversant with the plans.
AS first step in carrying out its
plans for erecting q new plant at St.
LOUIS the American Locomotive Com
pany has obtained options on four
tracts IN the Industrial district Of that
city. Each tract consists of two hun
dred acres. The options are under
stood to be the result of negotiations
which have been carried on intermt-
tently for the last six years.
Erection Of a new plant at St. Louis
will place the American Locomotive
Company in q strategic position so far
as raw materials are concerned, as
locomot parts are made in large
quantities in that section.
The company's plants are now To-
Gated at Schenectady, Pittsburgh, Dun
kirk, N. Y, and Richmond, Va.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-05

F. D. Maher, Of the Norfolk & Western
expressed no opinion concerning traffic
volume, but were in favor of normal
maintenance budgets and watchful
waiting in regard to additions and bet
terments, except possibly replacement
OF retired equipment.
+. j. Pearson, of the New Haven. ex-
poets some decrease of railroad traffic
this year, but estimates that third to
half of the reduction. will be offset
by the new rates, declining prices and
greater efficiency. j. M. Herbert, Of the
ST. Louis, Southwestern, looks for as
heavy traffic this year as last and has
approved a budget above normal for
maintenance and betterments.
