Thousands of Rates Already Reduced
indeed, during the past year there
have been between four and five thou
sand Individual reductions In freight
rates. On some railroads the reduc
tions in rates have amounted to more
than the reductions In wages 50 far
made, and on many other railroads the
reductions in wages allowed no. net re-
turn on operations, but merely pro-
yided against the further accumulation
Of deficit.
The point Is often made that agrlcul-

fering the same immediate dlficultics
as the railroads, why, therefore. do not
the railroads take their medicine like
anybody else? The answer lies In sew
eral facts

as were other industries. To make
charges during the years Of prosperity,
making possible the accumulation OF
surplus to tide them over the present
extreme adversely. According to fhe
reports Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the rate OF return on
