Losses In Income lrr.parapis

When wages have been too low the
harm done has been Offset by retroac-
tive increases. Losses OF railway net
operating income are irrepnrable. You
cannot make retrOa ctive tomorrow the
savings that should have been made
today.
The board cannot possibly write the
rules and working conditions Of every
railroad In this country and adjust
them equltnbly to varying geograph-
ical, operating and social conditions.
II rests entirely with the board to
determine whether this whole situa-
tion shall drift into chaos. and or
derly procedure become impossible ex-
cent At the price Of railroad bank
rnptcy, financial shock and still wider
unemployment.
The Labor 0oard can prevent this
catastrophe by declaring that the Ma
tionai agreements. rules and working
conditions coming over from the war
period are terminated At once: that
the question Of reasonable and eco
nomIcal rules and working conditions
shall be remnnded to negotiations be-
tween each carrier and It's own en-
ployces: and that as the basis for such
negotiations. the agreements. rules,
and working conditions In effect on
each railroad as Of December. 81. 1917.

II the hoard will do this. the Labor
Committee Of the Association Of Rail
way Executives will urge upon ev.
cry railroad company a party to DE-
cision No. 2. that no proposal for
the reduction Of basic wages shall be
made within the next succeeding nine
ty days. This will afford an oppor-
tunity to gauge the economies which
can be accomplished through more
efficient rules and working conditions.
II also will afford additional time
In which to realize the benefits Of a
further decline In the cost Of living.

Many railroads are not now earning.
and with present operating costs and
traffic have no prospect Of earning.
even their bare operating expenses,
leaving them without any net return
and unable to meet their fixed charges.
The emergency presented can be met
either by an advance In freight and
passenger rates. or by reduction In
operating expenses.
With declining prices and wages In
Industry and agriculture, the country

because of the walkouts of 25,ooo miners having forced a shutdown of practically all Indiana mines and the attitude of the operators was to let the union fight out the case
 Formal application for the granting of an appeal also was made at Chi Cago by the union but this was said by counsel to be pcrfunctory pro cccdlng that might either be brought before Judge Anderson or any judge of the circuit court.
 Failing to get a complete suspcn- sion of the injunction, the union's counsel was said to be prepared to press for ruling that only Indiana operators were affected by the order Such view has been taken by union officials but 1t was contrary to Judge Andcrson's opinion, declaring all op- orators observing the "check-off were bound by the injunction
 Aside from favorable court action union officials regarded further strike developments as hinging on the ac- ton of operators in discontinuing the "checkoff". President John l..

''NeW Haven" Road September Net Better
 Than Year Ago

New York financial papers say that in September the "Ncw Haven' road had larger gross and net operating revenues than in any other month this year Without aid from crop movement, as was given to many other roads, the company was able to show a small improvement.
 Compared with August freight re- ccipts were a bit less and passenger income was a shade more The road is doing smaller business than a year ago, but the net IS more satiS- factory.
 According to the Wall Street Jour nal, the operating ratio i'll September was S5.7, comparing with 80.2 in August, and S7.o in July, For the present the aim of the company is to bring the ratio to S5, and Septem- Der earnings indicate this mark is within easy shooting distance. On the current volume of traffic this re- lation of expenses to income will not leave enough to cover fixed charges.
 Fixed charges approximate $I,3oo, 900 a month, so that net earnings in September were at the rate of over 51 per cent. thereof, the highest pro portion this year. For the entire
 
 deficit of $3,o1o.17o before charges This operating loss was piled up in the difficult six months ending with June.
 Improved earnings in the third quarter, totaling $1,717,5o3, Without allowance for any seasonal variation were at the annual rate of $o87o,- 25o, or about 45 per cent. of an es-- timatcd amount of $I 5,ooo,oo fixed charges, less net operating income. lr New Haven's case "scasonal' varia- ton is-rathcr the ups and downs ot industrial activity, grounded on the activity of New England workshops While summer and fall months are usually the most profitable, there arc no swings such as grain harvests bring
