Hines Is Optimistic
on Railroad Revenues
Washington, June 6. Substantial
increase of railroad revenues be
cause of the growing volume of gen
eral business was predicted by Direc
tor General Hines, of the railroad ad
ministration, in concluding his testi
mony at the House appropriations
committee hearing on his request for
$1,200,000,000 for use in operating the
government-controlled lines for the
remainder of the calendar year.
The increased business, he said,
would tend to eliminate further gov
ernment loss from operation of the
roads, because the operating costs
Would not be advanced correspond
ingly.
Mr. Hines said that the biggest
crops in the history of the country
would be moved during the summer,
and that an increased coal movement
was apparent, industries having re
sumed purchases stopped after the
signing of the armistice because the
factories had accumulated large re
serve stocks.
"In all probability we are going to
have a great increase in the volume of
business." Mr. Hines declared, "and
this ought to produce a larger net
profit that will go far toward wiping
out the railroad deficit."
Director General Hines left later on
the last of a series of inspection trips
covering virtually every main line
railroad in the United States. He will
visit Boston, Omaha, Denver and
Birmingham

two years. For the last two years
