ANTHRACITE ROADS
EARNINGS DECLINE
Strike Costs Eat Into Profits
During September-A Few
Deficits Reported.

Strike costs apparently tave eaten
into the profits Of tbs anthracite car
rying railroads, despite the fact that the
movement Of fuel started early last
month. Reports from number of these
carriers Indicate a shrinxage in Septem-
Der gross revenues as compared with the
Same month last year and a considerable
loss In mt operating income. Reports OF
a few lines show a deficit compared
with income last year.
Discussing the situation at present
executives point ont that in some cases
the roads In September cleared up the
expense items incident to the breaking
of the shop strike. thus leaving the way
open to favorable earnings over the re-
mainder of the year. The shop situation
on a majority OF the lines is reported
satisfactory, particularly by the roads
which stood out agains. a settlement. In
the case Of these lines it is understood
that the labor turnover Is comparatively
small. 1t is understood that the carriers
which signed with the national organ
ization are still experiencing labor diff
culties as result Of the enmities be-
tween theS returned strikers and the
strikebreakers and loyal workers.
The net railway operating income OF
class / roads for September, 1921, was
slightly in excess OF sS7.000.000. Re-
ports thus far have created the belief that
last months net will not compare favor
ably with this figure. Following are ad-
ditional reports covering September
operations. as filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission:

WINTER BEAUTY
NAR9 GRAHAM BONNER

i know that the spring is very
oeautlful. l know that the Summer
Is very lovely. l know that the au-
tuihh is very gorgeous. And I think"
oiu Man Winter ended, "that there Is
great deal of beauty about the win
ter"
i agree with you," said the Fairy
Queeh' who had promised Old Man
winter that she and some of the fai-
RES would take a winter trip with him.
Ihey had visited country places and
lney had visited sea-shore places.
Ihey had visited some wonderful
mountains and they had visited some
lovely valleys.
Ihey had seen the work Sir Freeze
the-Ponds had done and also the work
OF MIR. Freezing-is-Fun. They had
seen all kinds of wonderful winter
scenes In all kinds of places.
But said old Man Winter, 'I have
yet one place to take you to before
your trip is over"
we have certainly had wonder.
iul Trip the Fairy Queen said, land
we Will never forget it. We are quite
uellghted to visit one more place."
So Old Man Winter took the Fairy
queen and the other fairies to a place
where there were as wonderful and
marvellous waterfalls to be seen as
anywhere imaginable.
There the Fairy Queen and the fair
les went about with Old Man Winter,
and so that they wouldn't be seen,
they wore robes of spray.
There we're ice mountains which
mad been made out of spray, and be-
tween these mountains great water
falls rushed down without stopping.
All about were huge icicles, and at
night crescent moon came out and
the stars, too, and the water dashed
and foamed, and the lights from the
sky danced merrily as If to say how
pleased they were to look down on
so much beauty.
There were rainbows In front of the
great waterfalls in the daytime, for
the sun shone right through the spray
which came from the falls, and the
Ice and the snow and the icicles and
the branches Of Ice on the trees, all
sparkled as though they were made
of dazzling, wonderful jewels.
There were several great water
falls and then there were rushing,
hurrying rapids, rushing as though
they had to get somewhere on time,
and as though they would be late If
they didn't hurry like anything!
But sometimes they found the time
to twist about and have game or

Observation-Disclosures of crops
farm products is expected to be one of
many suggestions put forward at the
national agricultural conference which
opens Jan. %, for inclusion in per-
manent national farm policy. Discus
sion within the conference would he
expected to develop whether propon-
ents would recommend that the insur-
ance be carried by the farmers coop
eratively, by private companies, or
through government aid.
Crop insurance has been tested to a
certain extent, it was declared, both
by mutual farmers companies and by
private insurance companies, and agri-
cultural experts declare it has proved
successful.
Balancing production with conSump-
ton is another important topic which
leaders expect to come up. Suggestions
likely to come from conference dele
gates, it was said, range from tire old
acreage Limitation to more careful
study of world production and con-
sumption. Along with this would go
crop surveys in America.
FaloriZation, or price fixing, was
said to be on the minds of several del
egates, and, while economists declare
all such efforts invariably in the past
failed, nevertheless, it has failed 10
settle the demands. Bills on this sub
ject now before Congress and sugges-
tions from the outside have come for
minimum price guarantees for certain
staple commodities as wheat, corn, cot
ton and the like.
Extension of the cooperative move
ment also is expected to bep rOposed.
Leaders predict that the labor ques-
ton will arise. since the presence of
railway executives and Samuel Com
pers and of many representative en-
ployers as conferences members will
bring the two sides of the question to-
gether. TIfef armers. it was said, are
vitally interested in the labor ques-
ton.
