Railroad Earnings
Will Show Heavy
Drop in November
Some Estimates of Glass l
Lines Put Net at $50
600, 900, as Against $780,
600, 900 for October

Publication yesterday Of the South
ern Pacific Company's earnings for No.
vember showing a loss in net as we'll
as gross earnings led to speculation In
railroad circles as to what all the Glass
l roads will show for that month. In
the opinion Of some officials 1t is be-
lieved that the November net will not
exceed S50,000,000, compared with moro
than 800 100000 for October.
The causes for the expected drop Of
so per cent lie in the sharp falling off
in tonnage following the withdrawal Of
the strike threat Of the train service
employees, and the rush Of shippers to
get tonnage through before the threat
ened strike gave rise to a heavy move
ment of traffic in October, which was
the peak Of the year.
Moreover, November car loadinps
were below those of November, 1919,
when the carriers reported net oper-
ating income Of $48,558 900, and still
further below those of November. 1920.
for which $54,343000 in net was re-
ported To earn per cent return on
their property investment in November
the roads should earn net Of approx
imately s99,000,000
With those roads whose operating
ratio is higher than that OF the South
ern Pacific The corresponding shrink
age III operating income will be greater
as result Of lower gross receipts. Net
operating income for November. il is
figured, will also be further decreased
by increased expenditures for the re-
pair of bad order cars, which had been
reduced to lab per cent on November
l5 from 1874 per cent two weeks earlier.

Southern Pacific Gross
Less, but Net Is Higher
Saving Is Made in Transports
ton Expense and Equipment
Maintenance Is Cut

The Southern Pacific, with larss
decrease in gross In November, mors
than Offset this BY a saving In opsras'
ing expenses. Gross In NovembsH'
1921, was s21 1885, 900, which was ~
716,000 less than the gross in the cor
responding month of 1920. p
More than half of the total loss ~
gross for the eleven months Of 1871,
as compared with 1920, occurred u
November. Gross for the frst eleven
months of 1921, was e249 ,272.o00, which
was s7,992,000 less than gross for hs
first eleven months of 1920.
Total operating expenses in Novsn.
Der, 1921, were s17,019,00O, which VA
s4,925,O 900 less than the operating q.
penses Of November. 1920. Had 1t mol
been for an increase Of over half
million in taxes, Southern Pacific's net
operating income would have been beF
ter in Novem Der, 1921, than in the cor
responding month of 1920. After az
ducting the increased taxes, operating
income in 1921 amounted to S2,64l .0ou,
and operating income for the nrs'
eleven months of 1921 amounted 70
