The feud had extended over a period long enough to enow that the quarrelers were not ready forgettens, so they probably remember where the hatchet was buried. 1 so thait it will le eeen that the net operating (income for last November falls short, by 2.2 per cent of the earning rate intended. It is stated by the railway executives that in that month 49 railroads reported deficits in operating revenue, as against 30 roads which were short the previous month. ' From these statistics two import ant deductions may 1e drawn. One is i that the railroads are eettine uoon those -who went away from the war.,h.ip fAAt aTwl r v - O - . . .7 , " o-- proper encouragement will in time be able to earn reasonable profits for their owners and be brought to a state of efficiency. The other is that the carriers should not be subjected to unfriendly legislation and their recuperation blocked by demanding o arbitrary rate decreases in the face TV " t0!of the showing they now make. The November slump is attributed pri . marlly to a. decline of about 20 per cent in traffic, and with so many idle cars it Is Impossible to make a good showing of earnings. A reduction of 10 per cent in rates on agricultural products became effective January 1. And the effect of this cut cannot yet be measured. It was made to help the farmers market their products, but at the same time it was done up on the theory that the increase in traffic would compensate for the Jess due to rate reductions. For the first eleven months of 1921 4t is stated that the net oper ating income of he railroads was $561,411,608. or at the rate of 3.3 per cent annually on ithe value of railroad property.
