Washington/ Aug. 31.?Railroads:
of the country will begin operation]
on their own resources tomorrow af-j^
ter having cost the government ap-|2
proximately $100,000,000 monthly' ?
for the six months in which their! (
earnings were guaranteed by the'j
transoortation act. The carriers will I
I 11
be allowed further aid only through j
loans in%m the revolving fund which c
the act created. j c
Earnings of the roads will fall I
about $600,000,000 below their stan-j I
dard return for the period since MarJ c
I, according to estimates today by 1
the bureau of railway economics.^ e
Feer than half a scored of lines have't
produced revenue sufficient to equa ' i
actual operating expenses, which doesj (
not include the fixed charges of in- \
terest, taxes and dividends. Definite S
figures on the cost to the government'
of the earnings guarantee provisions j
of the transportation act will not be
known for several months, or until1
i
the various systems are able to com-'
plete the mechanical task of balancing
books and giving detailed figures.!
Most of all of the roads, however,1
J
have indicated already to the inter-1
state commerce commission and thru'
it to the treasury that they will have' I
money coming to them as a result of: i
the guarantee. The treasury had re-j*
ceived dozens of certifications for ad-p
varices under the guarantee within Jc
the last ten days, and more are ex- c
pected tomorrow, Secretary Houston! r
said. If the roads do not ask for anj
advance against probable deficits! j
before tonight they must wait for a c
final compilation of the sums. t
Of the 191 lines of consequence in s
the country, 167 have accepted the I
government's proposal for a division' I
of the surplus and above the stand-j ?
ard return, and a guarantee of earn- t
ings should the revenue fall short, f
All of those accepting the proposal |'
will be entitled to a final adjustment g
of accounts by the treasury and the 's
payment, where the revenues were i

Among the lines not accepting thi
;uarantee proposed were the South
:rn and Pere Marquette systems
Neither of these have earned reven
les equivalent to the amount whicl
hey would receive under the guar
mtee, according to Julius H. Parme
ee, director of the bureau of railwa;
(conomics.
In the first four * months of th
ruarantee period, March, April, Ma;
md June, railroad revenues toppe<
ictual expenditures for operatio'
>nly once. The March revenues rep
'esented a net return of $13,750,00C
he other three months showing a de
icit. Official figures have not bee
compiled by the interstate corVunerc
:ommission for'July and August, bu
tfr. Parmelee estimated a deficit fo
)oth months, basing his calculation
)n the results of the same month
ast year. Traffic in those two month
?st.ahlished a record for volume, ye
;he lines were able to produce rever
les of only $2,000,000 and $15,000,
)00, respectively for July and Aug
ist above the standard return o
?75,000,000 a month.
