Passenger Traffic Increases

Contrary to general belief passenger
traffic on the railroads increased in
the period from September to January.
the first months in which the higher
rates of last year were in effect. With
1914 roads reporting for the five months
ended January 81 passenger revenues
amounted to $57O,149, ,000 compared
with S493 249, ,259 for the corresponding
period of the preceding twelve months.
The number of passengers carried in
the four months ended with December
(the figures For January have not yet
been published) was 399. .435, ,S75, con-
trasted with 9,571 ,087 for the same
months a year ago. The Interstate
Commerce Commission figures, how
ever. showed decline in the passenger
mileage and in the average journey
per passenger.

Traffic and Higher Freight Rates

The increase in freight rates has not
been the cause of the heavy decline in
traffic which has taken place since last
October, but rather the general business
depression, in the opinion of Julius H.
Parmelee, Director of the Bureau Of
Railway Economics. American rail-
roads, the official organ of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives, quotes Mr..
Parmelee as emphasizing this point in
discussion of the present business slow
up. 1T was freely predicted in August,
192O,' he says, "that Increased freight
rates would still further increase
prices. Both predictions proved incor-
rect. Prices have been declining since
the increased rates went into effect SO
that the effect Of the higher rates has
not been in the direction of boosting
prices. Respecting the effect on traffic,
the months Of September and October,
following the rate increase, showed no
III effects from the increased rates. On
the contrary, September traffic. was
good, while October traffic was, with
one exception, the greatest ever han
died by the railways in a single month.
Since then traffic has declined heavily,
but the underlying reason has been not
the increased rates but the general
business depression"

Tn Wall Street


On, of the reasons for the small
volume of business done at the Ex-
change yesterday was the disposition
Of many traders to wait until to-day
to hear what President Harding will
say in his message to Congress. Al
though no one in the Street professed
10 have any advance information on
what the message would contain. 1T was
felt that the document would be cor
structive. Among other things, the
traders were inclined to believe that
President Harding would recommend
to Congress important changes in the
Federal tax program. Il was also be
lieved the message would have som e
thing favorable to say about laterna-
tional matters. Wall Street has q way
Of waiting with great interest for the
publication of Presidential messages
and then doing nothing.

The continued advance Of lire ex-

featured strong foreign exchange
market yesterday. Rates on most Of
the European centers were higher, the

though there was u fractional reces-

showed net gain of ia cents.
The advance in lire was attributed
mostly tp increased demand for bills

believed to be quite speculative in

The Street was hopeful that Judge

yesterday regarding the Steel Corpora

the finance committed denied himself
to reporters. He was in conference
with company officials practically all
day long, clearing up matters that had
been held in allegiance during his alb

REvaL (via London, Dec. 19.-The
crucial issue in Russia's transition
from Communism to so-called capital
ism was admitted to be the amount of
taxes in kind that could be collected
from the peasantry, for if these proved
insufficient an appalling catastrophe
threatened Russia this winter Indi-
cations are that this tax in kind has
proved insufficient, for the Bolsheviki
have abandoned this system and re-
turned to the previous Soviet practice
Of appropriation from the peasants by
armed force.
1t Is believed that the result OF the
failure of the system will be Russia's
total collapse in January and conse-
quent chaos for want of food.
In the last few weeks all eyes in Rus
sia have been fixed on the returns OF the
tax In kind. The Prada, official BAL
shevist organ in Moscow, reports that
i43.0o0,o00 pools (2,574s000 tons, "a
pood being SO pounds) of grain were
collected through the tax, but it was

correspondent here to-day to see reports

900 poods G,3s6.0o0 tons) of grain were
collected. most of which already has
been distributed to the towns.

Soviet Congress, which 4, to convene
here tomorrow. Foremost among these
arc the consideration of the preliminary
results of the now economic policy,
which abandons Communism to a con-
siderable extent, and the famine which
threatens to wipe out millions OF Rus
slams in the Volga districts before the
next harvest.
The All-Russian Soviet Congress has
more than 1000 members. Village and
town Soviets call elections by means Of
which delegates are selected to attend
conventions in provincial capitals, which
designate the delegates to the Moscow
ors and peasants who do not employ any
laborers except their own families. are
entitled to vote under the Constitution
Bolshevists make no claim that the cleo
tions to the congress are democratic.
They frankly call their system a dicta-
torship of the proletariat and do not pre-
tend that their Government has the sup
port of a majority Of Russians.
At every session of the All-Russian
Soviet Congress a central executive COM
mittee of about 200 members is elected
which hords office vrti! the next con-
gress is called. 1t is the body in which
the chief functions sos government are
vested by the Constitution. but by de-
grees the actual control of affairs has
shifted to the Council OF Commissars,
which corresponds to Cabinet and Is
under the Craftsmanship Of Nikolai
Lenine.
NJ. Kalenine, who is the legal head of
the Government and is generally spoken
OF as President of the Republic, will
preside over the congress by virtue of
his position as chairman of the central
executive committee. He signs treaties,
grants pardons. receives diplomatic rep
resentatives and performs other more or
less formal tasks. but has no such pow
ers as are vested in the American Pres
ident. The calling of the All-Russian
Soviet Congress at this time Is probably
due to the fact that the Government de-
sires formal approval of it's changes
in economic policy by a moro or less
representative body.

OF NEW REVOLUTION
Cunha LeaI, Who Formed a
Ministry, Defeated and His
Fate Is in Doubt.
CASUALTIES ARE LARGE
Fighting on Both Sides Of the
Tagus and Hospitals
Are Filled.

LONDON, Dec 20 (Tuesday).-A
revolution has broken out in Portugal,
to a dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle from Paris.
1t began with cannonading along
the Tagus River and severe casualties
have resulted to both sides.
The hospitals are crowded with
wounded and dying.
The dispatch adds that Cunha Leai.
who formed n temporary Ministry last
week, was attacked in the Carlos bar
racks and he and his followers were
compelled to beat a retreat. The fate
of the Premier is not known.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ia new Gov
ernment was formed last night at Lis
bon. Portugal, the State Department
was advised to-day. with Cunha Leal
as Prime Minister and Julio Falkas, for
merly Minister OF Public Instruction, as
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Recent dispatches nave Indicated con-
siderable unrest in Portugal. In Octo-
Der there was an outbreak in Lisbon in
which Antio Granjo. the Premier and
Minister OF the Interior, and Jose Carlos
Maia. former Minister Of Marine. were
assassinated. Portuguese Royalists are
declared to have been the fonenters
OF the strife which has prevailed for
several months past.
Late in November dispatches from the
Portuguese frontier reported that an
other revolution was brewing inside the
republic and that the troops In Lisbon
had been confined to barracks. In the
general unrest there were reports OF a
strong undercurrent of radicalism.
Since the assassination of Premier
Granjo three new Cabinets have been
formed. one headed by Vasco Vascon-
cellos, the second by Major Pinto and
the third by Cunha Leal.
