People are Inclined to say that mis-.

present financial standings of many of
our roads This may be part OF the
| cause but the greatest cause is the present
| business depression. Wages, TOO, con
| tribute to the situation the railroads are
now in, When it is known that the New
| Haven road has lost $3.50, 000, coo in In
yestments once believed good and now
proven failures Gle might believe that this
would cause the railroad to fall as it has
Row dpre. This is not the cause, however,
as the road would be in it's present condi-

| the example of the Maine Control road
with holdings forth more than the invest
uent and yet can pay no dividends and
stock is around $12 a, share. There is no
charge Of Encouragement Of this road.

much more for our road, hauls are short
| and hundreds Of branch lines add to the
cost of operation.
| Take the wage question. In 1910 the
New England rads paid their help less
than other roads in the country. but in
| that year a ruling made them meet the
wage scale of other roads and this in
crease meant the equivalent Of per cent
dividends to the Boston and Maine road

dttion ten years ago and had started to
| map out a procedure whereby railroads
could meet this problem. The three years
before the war were the best in railroad
