NO CUT IN FREIGHT RATES
ON COAL BEFORE APRIL /
Secretary Hoover Says Also There
Is No Reason for Buyers to
Hold Of for Drop.

There is practically no possibility
of any reduction in freight rates on
coal before April /, the opening of
the new coal year. Secretary Hoover
said yesterday. Therefore, Mr.. Hoover
added. there is no reason for the pub
lie and large users Of coal to hold off
buying coal in quantity. hoping for a
reduction in freight rates which
would bring lower prices on coal.
The Commerce Secretary has had
conferences within the last few days
with members Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission on the coal sit
uation. He was assured. he said, that
there is little probability of any fiat
reduction in rates on coal before
April, and that even If it was decided
to cut the freight rates on coal such
reductions would hardly become ef-
fective before the end of March.
He said the Interstate Commerce
Commission has advised railroads and
public utilities to purchase coal in
large enough quantities so they will
not be caught unprepared in the event
of a general coal strike April ].

net RECEIPTS up
Electric Railways Getting Back
to Pre-War Basis.
Spend Millions for Equipment
and Supplies This Year.

f. Chicago, Oct. 3.-Electric railways,
with net receipts increasing and in
Vestors again buying their securities,
will spend $20O.OO0.0O0 for equipment
and supplies this year. Robert l. Todd,
president of the American Electric
Railway association, today declared
in opening the organizations annual
convention here. This is twice the
average annual expenditure for the
last twenty years, he said.
Reports from seventy-two COM
panies. representing one-third of the
total electric railway revenue of the
country. indicates that during the cur
rent year, 21.6 per cent of the operat-
ing expenses of the electric, railway
industry will be devoted to the pur-
chase of materials and supplies, Mr..
Todd added
Mr.. Todd continued:
Reports from eighty-one COM
panies, representing about three
eighths of the industry's mileage, for
the first seven months of 1922 show
that riding began increasing in May.
after gradual decreases over last year,
and if the present ratio is continued
there will be spproXimately 75,O0O,O 900
more riders turnout the industry this
year than last.
Fares Remain Stationary.
Despite the increased number of
passenger riders in recent months on
revenues for the seVen-month period
are off $5,526,365 or &c per cent,
owing to the smaller number of
passengers riding during the earlier
months. Several fare decreases brought
the average rate of fare of these COM
panies down from TAG cents in 1921
to TAP cents in 1922. Fares generally
are remaining practically stationary.
Increased efficiency of operation is
reflected clearly in operating expenses,
which have been cut down $40. AL ,O36
or 7.2 per cent, and car miles 3,379,-
T29 or 0.8 per cent. AS a result of
these decreased expenses. the operat-
ing ratio has dropped SO points from
1855 to 1870 per cent, and net revenues
have increased $5,526.365, or Ills per
cent. The use of one-man cars, au-
tomato sub-stationS and other labor
savings devices and the abandonment
of Improbable and unused trackage
are responsible for these figures. Ma
terial and labor costs also have been
reduced somewhat during the year.
materials now being about so per
cent higher than they were prior to
the war and labor slightly over 100
per cent.
Ask Tax on Jitneys.
BUS and jitney competition still is
making inroadS on receipts, but it
gradually is being put under proper
re traint. All that the industry is ask
ing is that buses be made to pay their
fair share of transportation burdens
in the way of taxes and otherwise con-
trolled as are electric railways.
The industry's public relations are
better than they ever have been be-
fore in history and this is directly
traceable to frank dealings with the
car rider.
Tremendous financial problems,
however, still are before us. Much
new money must be raised thru the
sac of securities in the next few
years to put. our, properties, back on a
pse-war basis of efficiency"
