Employment Chief Cheered by Speech.

By United Press HUNTINGTON, W. Va., Sept. T— The govérnment's drive to put unemployed to work in private industry shifted into high gear today uncer presidential orders, with the world's greatest employment bureau leading the campaign. The Federal Employment Service, which operates free job agencies in virtually every city of industrial im-

portance in the United States, willl

redouble its activities at once, said W. Frank Persons, its chief. He predicted that Mr. Roosevelt's Mea for co-operation of employers vastly will ‘increase the number of persons put back to work through the efforts of Uncle Sam's employment agent. The service in the last three years

had made 16,000,000 placements, he said, indicating his belief that

Woman Is Ipjured in Flackville Crash

Packed streets and highways that brought Hoosier motorists to the city for the visit of President Roose velt and the opening of the State Fair resulted in at least 24 traffic accidents with injuries to 15 persons in Indianapolis and vicinity over the week-end. Mrs. Emma “Moody, Muncie, was injured yesterday when automobiles. driven by Ollie Clark, 52, Muncie, and John Bickerton, 45, Maywood, Ill, collided on State Road 52 two miles north of Flackville.

this number will be multiplied as business picks up. y “Of course this does not mean that we found jobs for 16,000,000 men,” explained Mr. Persons, here to address an American Legion meeting. “Some of the men were given temporary jobs and returned to us several times for replacement.” He said positions found by his organization totaled 3,500,000 in private industry, 7,500,000 in Federal public works.

U. S. Railroad Lines, Showing Largest

Earnings in Five Years, May Become

Leaders in Nation's Recovery Parade

Significance of Comeback Is Extended Into Many + Branches of Industry.

(The First of a Series)

BY NED BROOKS ’ Times Special ‘Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. T7.—Balance sheets written in black ink are heralding better days for the nation's $25,000,000,000 railroad system.- . . Behind bare statistics showing largest earnings in five years, are indications that the railroads will become the grand marshals of the recovery parade. The significance of their comeback extends beyond the 1,000,000odd employes, the 865,000 owners of railway shares and the 1,000,000 bond holders. : It extends into nearly every branch of American industry because the railroads are the nation’s No. 1 consumer. More than 70,000 commodities are on their purchasing list, ranging from coal and steel to lamb chops and ginger ale. Business analysts know the railroads are good spenders when making money. The magnitude of their operations accounts for the maxim, “When the railroads prosper the country prospers.”

Seek Lost Traffic

The roads are not ready to admit prosperity, but the impulse of their 1936 gains is being felt in countless industries. Steel producers, car

shops and equipment makers were first to benefit. One indication that revenue gains of 1936 will be sustained is the current drive to regain lest traffic. Jarred by competition, railroads are speeding up passenger and freight trains, offering greater convenience and comforts to travelers and reducing operating costs through elimination of waste and inefficiency.

First Profit Since 1931

Preliminary figures of earnings!’

for the first eight months of 1936 showed the roads: out of the red for the first time since 1931, as contrasted with a net loss of about $80,000,000 for the like period of 1935. The last quarter is normally the heaviest earning period. Railway

economists believe net income for

1936 may at least equal the 1931 figure of $134,700,000. . The new 2-cents-a-mile fare has helped in the climb of revenues. Favorable results of the cut have made it doubtful that Eastern roads will press their court action to upset the order. . Eastern roads, according to Interstate Commerce Commission calculations, did a combined passenger business of about $20,000,000 in July—the second month the cut was in operation—of which about $1,630,000 was estimated to have resulted from the lower fare. Chesapeake & Ohio passenger receipts rose 40 per cent over July of 1935, The Pennsylvania .recorded a 24 per cent gain, the Baltimore & Ohio 23 per cent and the New York Central 21 per cent. :

Revenues Declined

Passenger revenues dropped drastically in the past 15 years. In 1935 they were $357,900,000, compared with $1,288,503,000 in 1920. In the latter year they constituted about 21 per cent of the total railroad income; in 1935 they were less than 11 per cent. While passenger in-’

(Continued from Page One)

come declined to about one-fourth in the 15-year period, total revenue declined only about one-half.

The reduced fare, which all East- |’

ern roads except the B. & O. opposed, and improvement in passenger facilities, are calculated to recapture a part of the business lost to private automobiles, busses and airplanes. The rate of increase in net operating income for the seven months of this year is more than double the rate of increase in gross revenues. Operating revenues this year total $2.222,672,000 as against $1910,843,000 last year, a gain of 16.3 per cent. Net operating income advanced to $300,021,000 from $221,695,000, a 35.3 per cent gain.

7 Fund for Costs Gains

A 27 per cent rise in July gross revenues resulted in a 129 per cent increase in net operating income. The figures mean in substance that the roads have $78,000,000 more thus far this year for meeting costs other than those of actual operation. Last year Class I roads spent $232,723,000 for fuel, of which $181,656,000 went for coal and $41,995,000 went for fuel oil. Coal purchases amounted to about 22 per cent of the entire bituminous output. The total fuel bill,” however, was little more than half of the $438,821,000 spent in "27. Spend $593,000,000

Expenditure last year on iron and steel products amounted to $158,914,000 as against $432,604,000 ‘in 1927

with the railroads buying about 25 per cent of the steel output. Purchases of forest products dropped to $57,367,000 from the 1927 figure of $175,367,000. Expenditures .in .1935 included $13,500,000 for lubricating oils and grease, $15,080,000 for non-ferrous metal products, $10,000,000 for electrical supplies, $12,000,000 for stationery and printing, $13,000,000 for dining car, camp and restaurant foods, $5,000,000 for leather and rubber goods, $19,000,000 for glass, drugs and chemicals. These purchases totaled $593,000,000—and 1935 was a deficit year.
