RAILROAD EARNINGS

The earnings OF the railroads OF the
speculation in financial circles. 1t Is
now feared that the recent labor DIFF
ficulties may conceal certain basic
weaknesses In the earning positions Of
railways In July the roads earned only
about per cent and in August a little
more than ~ per cent. These reduc-
lions are commonly attributed TO the
strike
The New York Journal OF Commerce
aces in the low earnings a deeper seat
ed condition than that brought about
by the shopmen's strike 1t says flatly
that the roads are not being allowed to
earn reasonable living. and fears that
many Of them will not show net re-
csipts large enough to attract needed
capital for expansion Of facilities.
Although this view may lie, slightly
far-fetched. yet il is sufficient to call
for the careful thought Of the business
community. Should the New York
newspapers beliefs nc well founded. an
! indefinite continuation of present poi.
lc,es would simply result in per-
manence Of Inadequate transportation

THE COAL COMMISSION

The personnel Of the coal commIss ion
appointed by President Harding as re-
quired by tho Borah- WINSTON act will
no doubt meet with the approval o. both
sides 70 the controversy. In view OF
the fact that this body is charged with
the task Of making an exhaustive study
OF our coal producing and distributing
industries from every angle and must
repor, upon the soft coal situation not
later than January Is next. the func-
t;oninx of the commission should begin
at once.
The task before the commission is OF
considerable moment 20 the country.
Already there Is a fear OF another great
coal strike next spring. The results
OF the commissions Investigations will
be OF great assistance in preventing a
reoccurence OF the trouble which began
last April The commission should oc-
cupy Itself with facts. for facts are
what we need-and a sane businesslike
program for what is frequently termed
"one Of our worst manage Industries"
