ROADS OPERATE AT HEAVY LOSS
LOOK TO INCREASE IN VOLUME AND REDUCTION IN COST TO SOLVE PROBLEM.
Muskogee, Okla.—(A. P.)—The railroads of the country today are doing business at a loss, and are looking for two things, to help them out—an increase in volume and reduction of costs, according to W. B. Storey, president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company, who addressed the conference of the International Association of Rotary Clubs for the Seventeenth district here this morning.
"Any further rate reductions without wage reductions are dangerous, and the sooner the railroads are put on a paying basis the better for you, the better for us, and the better for the country, Mr. Storey declared.
"If the roads cannot be made productive, then follows bankruptcy and eventually government ownership with all its attendant evils. If they are to succeed, they must not be hampered by regulation to the point where they cannot function properly, in other words, cut out the hampering laws, stop increasing taxes, change the slogan, "Soak the railroads."  To Help the Railroads, and give us a chance to do for you what we are anxious to do—give you the best transportation service in the world at the lowest cost per ton per mile.
