THE RAILROAD SITUATION

The situation of the railroads

penses have diminished, and there
Is reason to think that more
economics can be made. But
even for the present. things 60
more cncouragingly, though they
are far from the level that would
guarantee stable future pros
perity.
It is probably the fact that this
Improvement is partly due to the
more careful management which
q threat Of bankruptcy always
brings. and partly TO improved
general business conditions.
There is more freight to be car
ried. There is less money spent
on operation. But the railroads
are very far from being ont Of
the woods.
However slight or temporary
this gain may b., ii is the basis
for a pressure to reduce rates.
And this demand the railroads,
II they are wise, will heed to
some degree, Some concessions
ought to be made, because they
will still further increase busi-
ness.
The problem Of every intelli-
gent business man or well man.
aged corporation is to discover
the lowest price at which COM
modities can be sold or service
rendered, at reasonable profit.
Everybody lost sight of this dur
ing the war, when prices did not
count. Now il has to be reck-
oned with. For it is a permanent
economic law, which nothing can
set aside, that low prices increase
business volume and profits. so
long as they leave a profit mar
gin.
There can be no doubt that
the railroads could make many
rate reductions which would In
crease their net gains: just as it
b true Of manufacturers, whole
saIers and retailers. All Of them
have to get over the drunken
orer Of top-notch prices and
exorbitant profits. There is no
other highway to restored bust
ness and permanent prosperity

10 Downing street.
"The odds are only to 6 against

to the United Press as the session start

The cabinet met for two hours this
afternoon, awaiting news from the Near
East. The only fresh information re;
ceived was that Kemal was continuing
to send troops into the neutral zone in
the vicinity of Chanak and lsmid.
The cabinet then adjourned until 1880
