NEW HAVEN ROAD
 REPORT PRESENTED
Improvement Oyer Preceding
 Year Is Noted

New Haven, April 3--The 0utstand- ing feature of the New Havrn's rr- port to its stockholders covering it's operations for the year 1923 is the improvement over the preceding year. The deficit after all charges amounted to S9.917.10j.GG. which was Sl.9fN.- GG@.@G less than in 1929. The first three months or l92@ were influenced largely hy the continuing effects uf the s5 op and coal strikes and unusually severe winter Weathpr extending into March. Also expenses and charges usually show an excess over revenues al this period of tl," year. With the return Of nor" normal operating con ditions, aided hy q record volume Of freight traffic the company earned surplus,s in ,ach of the last nine months except for a small d"iirit in May. and the deficit of $t,CSN.53t.G5 which had accrued in th" rirt thror months was reduced To s@.GlIlp5.G6 for the year. These results Were made possible hy the effective use of the additional facilities provided turing the past seven years at an rNpcudi- lure totalne over &G0, ,orn.no
 The prospects ar" rncouIagiug for a material surplus att"r all charges for 1924 provided normal husinrss con tinues and there are no unforeseen increases in operating costs.
 The interstate commerce cummis sion granted on December l3. an in- crease in the rate of pay for the c;r- riage of mail, which il is estimated will amount to $5la, GOO per yrar. T-jo application of the railroads, and the Express company for an incr'aso in express rates was denied. and this matter is being argued further before the commission.
 tominuter Travel
 t'ommutcr travel has not bern pro dncing its far share of revenue, and increases in communication and trip ticket rates in Massachusetts. RhnIc Island and Connecticut and for inter- state travel between these states be- came effective in January and febru- ary. i9ai. The rates within New York and for travel between New York and Connecticut are under suspension and investigation by the public service commission of New York and the in- tcrstate commerce commission.
 Railway Taxes
 Railway tax accruals for 1928 were st.a3i,00f.fS--an increase oyer the previous year Of s347.GS0.27. Taxes based upon operating revenues opcr- ate unfairly against the company in these days whe'f operating expenses are SO much greater and net retenu" so much les than in inc pre-~ar days when tn" present tax statutes were enacted. In 1913 the company rualized from its operations after pay iug equipment and joint facility rents ihe sum of ss0,1N@.ai9, That year ii paid nsrs of sS,7li.75G. In l92@ tho company earned from same source slS.g1l.732 and paid taxes of si,9Si,-

An order was entered modifying the decree of the federal court in this respect. Tho New Haven represents @S.& per cent of the voting power of the Boston and Maine. There is no desire on the part of the New Haven To control tho management of the Bust on and Maine. |, earnestly de- sircs the cooperation of all the New England railroads in working out the transportation problems of New Eng hand and hopes to unite with the other stocaholders uf th" Boston and Maine in the adoption of n common cooperative policy calculated to serve thc New England public and promote ih" prosperity ot "ach other and tnr rest of the New England railroads.
 Bills ar" now before inc legisla- lures of Alassac husetts and Rhode Island tending to strict.r regulation of motor vehicles.

power to arouse the American
working class to decisive ac-
ton, against the aggressive inn
perialist campaigns of the. Wall
Street clique.
I'VE Communists will leave nothing
undone until the strikebreaking and
revolution-crushing Yankee battlefield
is withdrawn from the Caribbean,
where it is doing the dirtiest work for
the United Fruit company and other
giant corporations. 1t is only thru
a union of the workers and farmers
of the United States with those of
Mexico and the other Latin Ameri-
can countries that the bloody hands
of the international committee of
bankers Of Mexico can be stayed in
their sordid maneuver to crush our
southern neighbor.
ut is especially interesting to note
that it is the democratic candidate,
John W. Davis, who has been the
lawyer for this committee Of interna.
tional financial pirates. It is the re
publican, Warren, who was the Ameri.
can ambassador to Mexico while the
Yankee oil barons were forcing
the Mexican government into an
infamous agreement against the in
terests Of the exploited workers and
poems Of the land. It is the progress
sives Of the LaFollette fold who have
not lifted finger nor raised their
voice in protest against, and in con.
domination of these imperialist hold
ups against the Latin American coun
tries.

pledged to rid the world of this de.
vastating scourge."

political act'' and halls the
Party and its candidate William
z. Foster as the leaders Of the
revolutionary workers of Amer
lea. The telegram reads:
To the Workers Party: Dear
Comrades, in the name of the Com
munist International we greet your
Independent fight against the power
and the election machine Of capital
ism in America. 1t cannot be ex-
pected THAI the politically back
ward and unawakened majority OF
the working class of the United
States can be aroused and won over
by your party already during this
years election campaign. That re-
quires more time and many more
fights.
On this occasion, deceit and brib-
cry will once again attract the neces-
sary number Of votes for an agent
Of the capitalist magnates, but the
first militant appeal of Communism
in the United States was enough to
shake the old capitalist election
fraud, the old double fraud had to
be turned into a triple fraud by the
introduction Of a third party.
The leadership Of this last reserve
Of the capitalist election machine is
made up of the shrewdest betrayers
of the working class in America.
They no doubt know better than the
vote catchers of the republican and
democratic parties how to deceive
the unawakened masses of workers
and farmers. That is what they are
there for. But this time the Workers
Party will do its utmost to herald
the truth about the proletarian revo-
lutionary class struggle to the work
ers and farmers.
For the first time in the history
of the United States party Of the
revolutionary proletariat has put
forward it's own candidate in the
presidential elections. Comrades,
this is a political act, a courageous
act of the vanguard of Communism
in America. We are convinced that
this struggle of yours will not be
without its lasting effects.
Hall the fight Of the Workers
arty.
Party.
Hail comrade William z. Foster,
candidate Of the Workers Party.
Long live the Communist lnterna-
tionaI.

Communist international.
