RAILROAD EARNINGS
SHARPLY CURTAILED
Net for 1882 Was About 30 Per
Cent Below Average Of Two
Previous Years.
Special pispatch TO The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, January 14.-Estimat-
ing the net operating income of the
railroads for December at the sans
amount as in the previous. ysar, the to-
tai for 1882 would &c approximately
S325,000, 900. This was rs per cent un-
der the operating income in 1929 and
about SO per cent below the average for
the year 1880 and 1881.
The meaning of the decrease in rail-
road earnings last year that are ap-
plicable to the payment Of fixed charges
and dividends is to be found in the fact
that only 1.20 per cent was earned then
on the entire property investment OF
the carriers of the country. In the BAN
ner years 1925 and 1929 about per
cent was earned, which was still below
the maximum of 5A per cent permitted
under the transportation act.
When the figures of 1882 are re-
duced to those representing the three
major districts into which the railroads
OF the United States are divided. it Is
found that the results in the Southern
and Western districts last year were
even poorer than the l.20 per cent ave-
rage earnings for all roads. These con-
clusions are deducted from the statis-
tics for the IL months to November 80,
c5 those for December are not yet avail
able.
In this period the roads in the East
ern district. which geographically rep
resents territory north of the Potomac
River and east Of the Mississippi. earned
two-thirds Of the total net operating in
come of all American roads. In the
Southern district, which roughly in
cludeS all the roads south Of the Po-
tomac to the Gulf. only about per cent
of the entire dollar net earnings were
developed.

CURB ISSUES DROP

down a little from the previous close.
There were exceptions to this trend but
improvement was also Of small pro-

With no incentive present for new
operations on either side. professional
traders merely evened up their &C
counts. In most of the leaders the
realizing was a bit heavier than the
short covering. which accounted for
some sagging of values just before the
close

Parents, Teachers
 Are Mobilizing
Conference Will Solicit Aid in Opening Fall School
 Sessions

Washington - (U.P.)-Definite plans for mobilizing public support for closed schools will be consider ed by the leaders of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers at their semi-annual meeting here September 1921.
 Concern of parents and teachers over the plight of schools is in- tensified by the outlook that many public schools will open their doors much later than usual this fall, or fail to open at all.
 Must Keep Up Standard
 According to present plans, par ent-teacher associations through out the country will make every effort to arouse citizens to the need of maintaining educational stand ards. Citizens councils have been formed under parent-teacher au- spices to study education needs and to promote the idea that educa- tion is the responsibility of all cit izens, regardless whether they are parents or teachers or not.
 Financing of public schools to assure adequate educational op- portunity to all children is viewed by P. T. A. workers as one of the most pressing problems confront. ing the nation to-day.
 s Business Won't Finance
 "It is not to be expected that ed- ucation will be properly financed by world largely devoted to bus mess and which has no apprecia- ton of education ideals or meth ods" said Mrs Hugh Bradford, president of the National Congress. "One of our past purposes in the

Attorney General Will Ren= der a Decision as to Whether Banks Can Ac- cept Such Loans

Hartford, Conn, Aug 11.-(UP) The question of whether state banks may accept federal loan bonds under existing banking laws, rested with the attorney-general to- day.
 An opinion was asked by Cover nor Wilbur l.. Cross late yesterday as result of conference with Peter M. Kennedy. state manager of the Home Owners Loan Corporation: Archibald McNeil, state chairman of the federal public works board; Bank Commissioner Walter Perry, and state officials. The conference sought to determine a way for state banks to accept the loans without resorting to special legislature session to revise the statutes.
 Congressman Herman P. Kopple- mann said he would carry the question to the U. s. attorney-gen- eral, if necessary.
 McNeil, and State Senator liar vey l.. Thompson, Middletown, who later conferred with the governor on the public works program, de- c1ared a special session necessary to authorize towns to borrow money from the government for public works improvements. The matter was to be discussed further by the governor at state recov- cry advisory board meeting late to- day.
