RAILWAYS LEAVE GOVERNMENT CARE g e Earnings of Roads Will Fall Six1 ^ Hundred Million Dollars Below Standard Return. a 1 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 - * ?
