LAST STEP IN RAIL RELIEF WORK SEEN Officials Believe Government Has Taken Final Action for Carriers. BY CHAS. P. SHAEFFER, Associated Press Business Writer. Many officials in Washington believe the new railroad bill goes as far as the Government ever will move to aid the carriers weather hard times on their own. This belief is based not only on expectation of restoration of the roads through gradual increase in the volume of frelghl traffic, which has improved steadily since recording a new Jow mark during the middle of March, but particularly on belief that the broad operating power given the car- riers under the new bill is the ultimate step short of some manner of Federal operation. While operating results of the car- riers for the year to date have been decidedly unfavorable, April's loadings and those reported for the present month indicate a decided improvement in progress. The April gain in car- loadings was impressive especially as it was primarily in miscellaneous freight, a class that pays high rates. ‘The new railroad bill follows a long line of emergency measures, designed from time to time by railway manage- ments and the Government, to remedy a situation brought about by inadequate traffic. First, an increased freight rate on special commodities was put into ef- fect on January 4, 1932, lasting until March 31, this year, which was later extended six months. Then a 10 per cent wage reduction was put into ef- fect on February 1, 1932, effective for one year, and later extended for nine months. Included in the list also is creation of the Reconstruction Pinance Corporation to make loans to carriers and to others, and enactment of the bankruptcy law, which facilitated capi- tal reorganizations. Meantime the car- riers themselves have been busily en- gaged in cutting expenditures where practicable, in adjusting passenger rates in order that motor competition might be met, and in improving freight service.

Optical Co. 705 14th Street N.W. Established_1900 Dollar Makers BY GEORGE T. EAGER. The return of beer is indirectly af- fecting a number of different businesses. One bakery reports a large increase in the sale of rye bread following a news- paper advertising campaign that fea- tured rye bread and beer in fond em- brace under the| headline “Togeth- | er Again.” A focd manu- facturer is selling | mustard in small glass [y Which, with labels and tops removed, make excellent beer mugs. One of the strangest indirect | effects of prohibi- | tion has been felt | by the brocom industry during the last 15 years. With prohibition came an increase in prison inmates Which greatly increased the competition of prison-made brooms. Then the practi- | cal disappearance of saloons took 2Way | a big customer of the broom monufac- turer. the automobile industry, nated liverv stables, took away another | large cur‘om-r. Finally the increasing use of vacuum ners sweepers made fu. r inroads into sales. Which all goes to prove that merely watching direct competitors in busine: is not enough. It is the indirect com- petition of entirely unrelated businesses that often makes the most serious in- roads on sales. \Lanhml\l 19 Replies to a quuuommm Sadzomen| e visitors to Oregon verage visitor spends | OU’LL never forgive your- self if you miss A Century of Progress—the greatest expo- sition of your lifetime.
