Revitalizing the Arteries Of Trade

Lower prices for coal, it is estimated, B
will result in saving during the second
half of the year of about So 100000.
These savings are being effected in
two Of the largest items of railroad
expenditures-labor and fuel.
The railroads had a net operating
income in May of s37,ooo,ooo. This
is the largest amount earned by the
carriers since last November, and COM
pares with an operating deficit of
S5,5oo,ooo in May of last year.
During the first five months Of this
year the net operating income of the
railroads was 500, 38o, 900, as contrasted
with S26,4oo,o 900 in the correspond
ing period of last year.
The railroads are the arteries of trade
of this country. Their rcvitalizing is
an important step toward the revival
of business as whole.
