Opening

the

today
told
the

that
it
had
a
"revenue
deficiency"
in
1950
on
rail
operations.
Launching
a

general
increase,
the
company
submitted
figures
indicating
Its
1950
revenue
fell
short
by
$2,990,000
of
meeting
the
company's
financial
standard
prescribed
by
the
board
a
year
ago.'
Had
the
current
wage
levels
and
prices
of
materials
been
in

contended,
the
