S T A T U S OF R A I L R O A D S U N D E R F E D E R A L CONTROL. The Federal Government took over the management of the railroads of the United States as of Jan. 1 1918. Tn view of the existing blockades, duo to the severity of the winter and extremely heavy war and other traffic, the authorities at Washington came rather suddenly to tho con clusion that only by such unification could tho transporta tion business of the country be handled effectively under war conditions. 26, 1919.

In ad dition to the large number of Idle cars which havo been in service, several thousand of the new standard cars built on the orders placed by the Rail road Administration last year have been completed by the builders but cannot bo stenciled because the railroad companies which are expected to take them and pay for them havo not yet accepted them. Over 26,000 o f the 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 standard cars ordered had been accepted by the roads to March 31, but this docs not account for at least 10,000 more that have been built and are being hold in storage until it can be ascertained whether the Railroad Administration can force the companies to take them at high prices. Tho Administration takes the position that it can, because they wore ordered under war conditions and allocated to the various roads. The standard locomotives, on the other hand, are being accepted as fast as they can bo turned out.” Financial Operations in 1918.— The financial operations of the U. S.

He also empha sized the tact that by far the greater part of the money heretofore provided for them by the Government will eventually be returned to the Federal treasury. Temporary Financing.— Tho failure of Congress to pass the bill providing an additional $75.0,000,000 for the Revolving Fund necessitated various extraordinary measures to enable the U. 8 . RR. Administration to meet its current commitments to the railroad and equipment companies and others and also to assist the railroads in meeting their needs for new capital re funding, etc. The amountsneeded to June 30 1919were estimated by the Director-General at$701,b 9 /,000 (V. 108, p. 1028), as follows:y Amount Required up to June 30 1919.

On March 18 1919 tho Administration borrowed at 6 % $50,000,000 (due on or before July 18 1919) from the War Finance Corp. The War Depart ment on March 21 advanced the Administration $100 000 000 on ac count of tile transportation of troops, and the Navy Department paid it $10,000,000 that would otherwise have been considerably delayed (V 108’ p. 1128). Tim Warfin a n c e C o lo ra tio n also increased largely its loans to tho railroads (Y. 108, p. 1228, 1352, 2440), and to strengthen its resources for that and other purposes placed in April 1019 an issue of $200,000,000 5% bonds IV. 108, p. 1342). Compare War Flnanco Corporation below. The U. S. RR. Administration also issued its own 5 % certificates of in debtedness to the individual roads for amounts due or to be due to them on compensation (in full payment when compensation contracts had been signed,o therwlse only 90% ), and also on other accounts and these certificate were used as collateral by the roads in order to borrow from their own banks or from tho War Finance Corporation or the Administration itself V 108s I). 1352. It is supposed that an extra session of Congress will be called and tho needed funds appropriated to relievo embarrassment of Administration. War Finance Corporation.— The War Finance Corporation was organized on M ay 17 1918 by the Secretary of the Treasury and others, with an 5 authorized capital stock of $500,000,000 (and the right to issue bonds to an amount not exceeding $ 2 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 bonds) to provide credits "for industries and enterprises in the United States necessary or contributory to the prosecution of the war.” The Act creating the Corporation was given in Y. 106. p. 1183, 2065— also see V. 106, p. 651 to 656, 977, 978, 979. Up to Oct. 31 1918 (V. 107, p. 2137), loans of $67,716,342 had been advanced by the War Finance Corporation chiefly or wholly to public utility, lumber, coal and miscellaneous corporations: $29,863,648 had been repaid, leaving $37,852,594 outstanding. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co. came in for substantial assistance (V. 106, p. 2648, 2755— V. 107, p. 180. 290, 703). In January 1919 the corporation began making considerable advances to railroads (V. 108, p. 116), and on March 4 these aggregated $71,505,000, and on March 28 about $135,000,000 on “ adequate collateral;' (V. 108, p. 1020, 1343, 1352), while in April 1919 an issue of $200,000,000 bonds was sold, partly as above stated, to facilitate in railroad financing. Capital Issues Committee.— This committee's activities came to an end Dec. 31 1918. V. 108, p. 2421, 2228. Consolidation of Certain Railroad Officers. &c.— On April 15 tho DirectorGeneral ordered (1) tho discontinuance of separato city freight or passenger offices where the public may bo adequately served at the depot; (2 ) the consolidation or grouping of all city ticket offices in one union office, &c.— V. 106. p.1535. Joint Use of Pennsylvania Station in N. Y. City.— On Sept. 15 1918 under order of the U. S. RR. Administration, the Baltimore & Ohio and the Lehigh Valley RR. began using the Hudson River tubes and passenger station in New York City of the Pennsylvania R R . Co. ■ Restoring Railroad Passenger Service to Normal. See V. 107, p. 2341, 770; Pooling of Equipment—Per Diem Charges Suspended.— On Juno 17 the Railroad Administration abolished the per diem plan of charging for the use of cars between individual lines. The ruling makes all equipment common property so far as its use is concerned. This chango affects tho hire of equipment account which in the case of many roads has often appeared in connection with the earnings as reported from time to time, either as a large credit or a largo debit item according as the road in ques tion was amply supplied with rolling stock or was dependent to any con siderable extent on connecting lines for tho cars used hy its shippers. Railroad Advertising and Statistics Bureau.— In April 1918 the Railroad Administration curtailed railroad advertising and on May 2 they prohibited the roads from including in their operating expeases contributions toward the maintenance of the Bureau of Railway News and Statistics.— V. 106, p. 1423, 1971. Railroads Accounting Purchasing, &c.— See V. 106, p. 56, 252, 883, 1305, 2722, 2721, 1961, 1756, 1535, 984, 885, 157; V. 107, p. 1625. Report of Director-General as to accounting, V. 108, p. 445, and as to railroad saving, &c., in V. 107, p. 2065, 1030. Relations with Inter-State Commerce Commission.— See V. 106, p. 562, 1091, 1194, 1861, 2412, 2520; V. 107, p. 1625; V. 108, p. 443. Universal Mileage Scrip.— This scrip, good on all roads at 3 cents a mile, was placed on sale on or about Aug. 1. V. 107, p. 253. Monthly Statements of Earnings.— Prior to the taking over of the roads by the Government, or, to be strictly accurate, prior to the call for the March 1918 reports, monthly returns were required from all carriers having railway operating revenues in oxcess of $100,000 per annum. The Inter State Commerce Commission now requires monthly reports onlv from roads whoso gross railway operating revenues exceed $ 1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 per annum. American Railroad Association.— This association, of which all roads under Federal control are members, co-operates with the Director-General "for the advancement of railroad practice.” — V. 108, p. 443. Government Operation of Erie Canal, Steamships and E lectric Lines. Eric Canal, Etc.— Mr. McAdoo in April 17 announced that he had decided to construct and put into operation a lino of barges to be operated by the Government on tho Erie Barge Canal for tho purposo of relieving railroad congestion. This canal was completed and formally opened for through traffic between the Hudson River and tho Great Lakes on May 15. V. 106, p. 1641, 1642, 2085. 2620. G. A. Tomlinson was in April 1918 made General Manager of tho Erie Canal, and on July 15 his jurisdic tion was extended to New York and New Jersey canals generally. V. 107. p. 253. On July 25 1918 the Capo Cod Canal passed under Govt, control. V. 107, p. 470. Control of Steamship Lines.— In accordance with a proclamation issued by President Wilson under dato o f April 11 control of four of tho principal Atlantic coastwise steamship lines was assumed by the Railroad Administra tion on April 13 1918, but theso were returned to their owners Dec. 1 1918, leaving under Government control the railway owned lines, viz.: the Ocean, Old Dominion, Southern Pacific, Baltimore Steam Packet and Chesapeake SS. Co. Unification of Express Business.— Seo American Railway Express Co. under Industrial Companies. On N ov. 18 1918 this merger company was placed under control of the Director-General of Railroads. V. 107, p. 1978. Increased express rates took effect Jan. 1 1919. V. 107. p. 2065, 794.

From month to month during 19IS official statements were published showing heavy “advances” by the United States Railroad Administration to the rairoads in its central. For tho 13 months ending Jan. 31 1919 the total advances so stated aggregated over $787*,000,000, of which only .$98, 000,000 had been repaid (V. 108, p. 540). In April 1919 it was made known, as had long been surmised, that tho great bulk of this largo total was merely tho compensation ad vanced to the various roads pending final execution of tho Fcdoral contracts. The outstanding loans held by the RR. Administration, it was stated, aggregated on March 31 only $169,735,000 with a further $163,950,402 due it on account of now equipment (V. 108, p. 1475). It had been intended to republish in this Section the table o f advances to Jan. 31 1919 as given in the "Chronicle" of Feb. 8 , page 640, but in view of the statement by the Director-General on April 5 that the advances included in fact so small a proportion of actual loans this plan was abandoned At a hearing before the Appropriation Committee of the House of Representatives in Feb. 1919 Director-General Hines stated (V. 108, p. 840): As of Jan. 26 1919, tho number of standard contracts signed was 34 and 44 more wero about ready to sign, while 23 others had been drawn and were in process of consideration. As far as I know, practically every company whose road has been taken over is relying on the making of the contract and the Railroad Administration is assuming the standard return will be paid to all of them. The compensation provided for by the 34 signed con tracts amounts to about $360,000,000. No contracts have been executed which include any allowance for compensation in addition to the standard return, except in the rase of the Missouri & North Arkansas, which had been allowed $161,230 in addition to its standard return of $13,140. No contract has been executed for less than the standard return. 0 RAILWAY AND INDUSTRIAL SECTION, Summary of Special Claims for Compensation, in Addition to the Standard Return, Filed with United States Railroad Administration to Feb. 6 1919.

Inasmuch as it appears, therefore, that the standard return (which, as explained on a preceding page, is the average annual railway operating income for the three years ended June 30 1917, as determined by the Inter-State Commerce Commission) is likely to bo adopted without modification in a great majority of eases as tho compensation of tho indi vidual roads, tho following compilation made by tho Bureau of Railway Economics from the roports of the I.-S .
