i HIGHER INM N. Y. C. President Says Assets Improve with Other Business MONTCLAIR, N. Dec.

13 (Ph Railroads which, ran further downhill in the depression than most industries, will ride with other business back to better times, says 45 Million Increase Over November, 1935 WASHINGTON, Dee. IS VP) An estimated increase ef around 145,000,000 in operating revenues for November over the same month in 1935 was shown in a report today by the Association of American Railroads. Based on preliminary Stares from 93 class one railroads, the report showed estimated revenues of $300,848,510 as compared with 3255,560.051 in November last year and $332, 870,644 in the same 'month in M30. Freight revenues totaled $249,615,704 as against 3210, 037,459 for November, 1935, and 5261,059,845 In November, 1930. Passenger revenues to taled $27,360,207 compared with $23,839,681 in 1935 and $41, 765,828 in November, 1930.

Frederick Ely Williamson, president of the giant New York Central system, "Railroads run in tune with business," Williamson: said in an lnter view. "They manufacture transportation. When business improves, they naturally manufacture more transportation. Williamson, a big, gray haired man who started with the. New York Central as a clerk 38 years ago, gave his views after he had been honored by 300 Yale alumni at the annual barn party of the Yale club of Montclair Saturday night.

A member of the class of '98, he was awarded a silver bowl as a graduate "who has made his in life." Freight Up 15 Percent With Yale's two ail Americans, Larry Kelley. and Clint Frank, as fellow guests of honor and with the stirring "Boola Boola" ringing in his ears, Williamson preferred to talk about football. He didn't get his at Yale, he said, but he watches the Eli elevens closely and missed but one game which the Blue played this year. Steered back to railroading, he painted an optimistic picture. He said freight was "up about 15 percent and passenger traffic somewhat less." Freight, loadings, he said, were holding up through November and into December although their normal peak was in October.

The reason, he said, was the apparent demand for capital goods. The trend, he added, was an indication business conditions were stronger. The passenger side of the pic ture was equally bright. Hes said people were "returning to travel by rail" and that railroads anticipated "much heavier travel in December than for several years." He conceded that lower rates ordered six months aeo bv the in terstate commerce commission were "undoubtedly a contributing fac tor." ne iaci people "have more money to spend," the normal increase due to better business, congested highways, faster train schedules and better equipment were other reasons he cited for the 6 APOD LrLAJLLLLr 8 TIMES MSONE (101 THE READING TIMES, READING, PA MONDAY I C.EM ER 1 4' I 'TQszs fhone cm tery. charge.

S. constitution entered its 13th year today. The lighting line stretched across 19 states whose legislatures meet in regular session next Into each of th the national child labor committee field workers armed with evidence which it said showed an "alarming" ln crease in employment or children in Industry since the death of NRA, The workers' ammunition, the committee said, Includel "almost Incredible'' and photographs illustrating "ruthless ex ploitation of young children."

Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri. New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont Each of the legislatures will vote on the same proposal, in the form in which congress passed it in no: child labor amendment "Section 1.. The iconness shall have power, to limit regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under is years of age. "Section 2. The power of the several states Is unimpaired by this article except that the operation of state laws shall be sus pended to the extent necessary to give enect to legislation enacted by the congress."

Twenty four have already approved it, and 36 three fourths of the union are required. Hopes of success are high at the child labor committee headquarters in tower Manhattan. Courtenay Dinwiddle; general secretary, Is even optimistic of the poasibUHy of a "tondsUde' paralleling the re election of President Roosevelt. Such a result would not be in consistent, for 'the President has repeatedly urged the amendment's ratification. There was such a surge of sup port for the constituMonal change between 1933 and 1935.

Eighteen legislatures including eight who rejected it earlier ratified 'during that short depression period. Up to that time the history of child labor legislation from a federal standpoint was one of almost constant defeat. Hire A hp. for high speeds or heavy duty hp. for light delivery service MS 0 A.
