Dec. 16 — (United p res s.)~ American railroads this year bid fair to enjoy their most prosperoU9 year since the war, the Interstate t'oinintrce Commission indicated to congress yesterday in its annual re port. Xet revenue 3 are; high, traffic is al record breaking, longest ion i almost lacking except in Florida, improved facilities and equipment are I,ping provided, and expenses ate he iug cut down. Net railway operating income for the eight months ended with August wus $651,883,260, an increase of I,ls per cent over the correspondng per iod in 1924 and of 5.32 per cent over the same for 1923, the calendar year of the largest total revenues and heaviest yohuiie of traffic in history. On the possibility the roads this year might earn the 5 3-4 per cent t* turn on their value which the Tran portation Act envisaged, Hie Comm ' sion was silent. The inference left by the report was however that it is I a matter of doubt. Quoting its 1924 annual report, in which it said that since net operating income for 1923 was less than $1.0d0,OOU.OOO, it was safe to say the roads did not earn this percentage, in that! year, the commission said: ‘Large additions have been made’ to capital account for improved fa-' cilities and equipment since that report was written, and the net railway, port was written, aud the net railway operating income for 1924 was only ; 1.24 per cent more than for 1923." Consolidation of railroads loomed large in the Commissioner's report, dividing its attention, outside of purely statistical reports of operations, with its program for asweep ing investigation into the general rate structure of the United States under th,. Hoeh Smith resolution. The Commission had nothing new to offer in lonnection with consolidation however, reiterating its lecommendations made to the Senate interstate Commerce Committee last February, which received the endorsement of President Coolidge yesterday in his message to Congress. These were: 1. That the commission lie •■**F< ■ >d from the existing legislative requirement of adopting and publisher' a complete plan for consolidation of -di the railroads n the United States. 2. That the Commission lie given ~q H ■ ' 1 Milv < ■■■ The ‘Hew IMorrison. when cvmpkt. .<■ will be the largest and tallest hotel tn the world, containing 3,400 rooms When in Chicago Stop at the MORRISON HOTEL Tallest in the World 46 Stories High Closest in the city to offices, theatres, stores and railroad depots Rooms $2.50 up all outside, each with bath, running ice water and Servidor Garage privileges for every guest MSlfl IM IMS Hl*** 7 CHtOAvw

The commission reported that, it has practically completed the preliminary reports underlying its valuation of all railroads of the country, it further emphasized its faith In automatic train control devices as a prevention of accidents. "The importance of continued es fort to eliminate as far as possible pro-life, injury to persons, and destruction of property, by Installation of automatic train-stop or train-con-trol devices can hardly be overstated,” the Commission eaid. interesting sidelights on the railroad habits of the American public were cast by the report which showed that while Americans ar,* riding the railroads less they are, on the average, making longer trips. . ■ The number of passengers carried in the first seven months of 1925 was 6.4 per cent less than in the corres-
