RE-ELECT TODD PRESIDENT OF STREET CAR CO. (Continued From Page One.) Company. This report for the year 1920 shows the gross earnings, operating expenses, etc., of the combined properties." In commenting on a tabulation ot earnings and operating expenses, the report says: “A stndy of the foregoing figure', reveals the fact that although thert was an Increase of $628,994.80 in gross earnings in the year 1920, the maintenance and operation Increased $809,695.47 and the taxes $107,664.35, or a total !r crease of $017,349 82 in expenses, making a net loss of $288,334.93 ” “The increase In maintjnanee of ways and structures and of equipment Is on account of 21 per cent of gross earnings being expended as required by the public service commission. The Increase of $300,849.22 in operation of power plant U largely due to the enormous Increase in the price of coal during 1)20. Ip 1919 the minimum price of coal delivered at the power house in Indianapolis was $2.22 per ton and maximum price $3.87 per ton with an average pries of $3 10 per ton, while In 1920 the minimum price was $3.55, maximum $7.50, and average price $5.10 per ton. There was also an increase of nearly 25 per cent In tho wages of power house employes in 1920, as compared with 1919. The great increase in coat,of coal made the purchased power correspondingly high. OPERATION INCREASE LAID TO LABOR. "The Increase of $288J.15.64 In operation of cars was principally caused by the advance in wages of conductors, motormen, cut house men, etc. On April 1, 1920, the schedule of wages of platform men, which was 87 cents to 42 cents per hour, was raised to 40 cents to 45 cents per hour, 'according to length of service. There were also more cars operated lu 1920." Other features taken up In the report were taxes.

out the city In order to seemre an adequate power supply for satisfactory and efficient operation. As soon as the company can be placed upon a proper financial basis this should be the first work to be undertaken. The company also requires aa additional number of new closed cars; also new car shops and new car barns as weil as additional storeroom facilities.” The report stated. In closing, that “while the result of net earnings for the year 1920 Is disappointing, It Is confidently hoped that tho year 1921 will show better earnings and that there will be a return to normal conditions. The future prosperity of the company depends in a large measure upon the cooperation of the stockholders and the good will of the public as well as the State and city officials.

WEEKS FAVORS A SAFE POLICY FOR U. SMARMY War Secretary Opposes Disarmament in Commencement Address. SPEAKS IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, June 8— Asserting that there ore feverish military preparations among nations with whom the United States might “possibly come in contact," Secretary of War John W. Weeks, In an address here today, strongly urged the adoption of a rational military policy which would enable us to avoid the costly blunders of the past. Speaking at the commencement exercises of New York University, the secretary pointed out that expanding populations made It inevitable that some ua tlons should covet rich territories, and declared it would be the height of folly for the United States to consider disarmament under present conditions. PAST HISTORY: FUTURE MYSTERY. “We are practically the only strong Na tion In the world which has not some

1 time In Its history engaged In warfare as a result of selfish and unworthy motives or desires," the secretary said. "With possibly one exception, we have never taken unfair advantage of nations: Indeed, In establishing the Monroe doc trlue. America voluntarily assumed the obligation of protecting the smaller nations of this hemisphere. “The past is history—the future ! mystery. It would be folly to let our , hopes for the future blind our eyes to the facts of the past. While 1 wish to see our country lead In every proper means to bring about an understanding between the nations of the world which will Insure the world against another war, 1 i hope to see It prepared to defend Its rights, Its sovereignty and Its citizens I until the day comes. If It ever come*. I when all nations by mutual ronseut dismantle their fortifications and scrap I their navies." PRUDENCE DEMANDS ALL DISARM AT ONCE. World-wide disarmament must come as the results of an international agreement and must be executed simultaneously, he declared, as prudence would not permit our disarming while others hold weapons in tVlr hands. “I wish to say here and now,” he continued, “that I cannot give a moment's consideration to the possibility of war with Great Britain. In my opinion, a war between Great Britain and the I nlted States would be the end of o vllleation and whatever may be the fc „ of the leaders In either or both natlot ~ the. peoples of Great Britain and the United States would never support, indeed they would not permit, a contest between these two countries." SINN FEIN CUT LONDONWIRES Liverpool Telegraph Lines Are Also Slashed—Raiders Fired Uupon. LONDON, June B,—Widespread wine cutting raids, attributed to the Sinn Fein, were made lu the London and Liverpool districts today.
