By W. A. ATWIS,
Istwnetisnan News SsMe,
The railrdads, short of cash, con,
front a credit situation so serious
that heavier cuts in working per
soanel than those already ordered
will be put into effect and other
mneans of ratrnebment enforced,
leading rail managers today in
formsed m..sers of the Interstate
Commerce COenisslon.
NAVE MlOMMOUs DrrE.
Rail executives declared the roads
are running up enormous debts, and
are unable -to meet many of the
more urgent current bills. A severe
economy program, meaning reduced
working forces on practically all
lInes, and an indefinite postponement
of some of the more pretentious
plans for betterments, was forecast
today as a-certainty, following con
ferences of many of the rail leaders
here.
Even in the face of the higher
rate increases allowed the carriers,
big , slumps in net earnings over
practically all roads, affecting alike
the large and small lines, were
shown by the Interstate Commerce
Commission's figures today. A drop
in the railroads not revenue Trom
operations amounting to 1170,00.000
was shown for the eleven months
up to December 1. as compared with
the same period the preeeding year.
FACING CUEDET CRISIS,
Reports'.to the commnission do not
indicate that the credit of the car
riers as a whole is exhausted, hut the
reports emphasiee the fact that a

or there comes an early impromnt

The larger systems, it is said, are
finding means to have their sankingc
connections carry them ever the
rough spots. The small line railroads
it was said, have practically exhaust
ed their borrowing powers. and are
looking for some relief that will save
them from bankrupter.
Rail executive. in talks with mems
bers of the commission have been utd
that this body is eagsr to certify
their claims under the Glovernment

With the entire Eastern section of

Forecaster today could not promise
mr-eh relief for the next twenty-four
hours.
As a mnatter of fact, he warned the
people of Washington to get out their
rubbers and snow shovels, for by to
night, according to indications, the
city will be in the throes of a real
cid fashioned snow storm which
might continue all day tomorrow.
The ofticial forecast issued by the
Weather Bureau at noon today a
nounces increasing cloudiness late
this atternoon, with probably snow
tonight and tomnorrow.
The balmy spring-like days could
not last, the Forecaster said. There
"Jest had to be a nlareback." It
came without much warning.
During the night the thermometer
fell gradually. The lowest tempera
tuft was at U o'clock this morning,.
when the thermometer regIstered 16

h risen to the 2 mark.
Although Washingtonians are
shivering in the unaccustomed cold

the fact that up in GIreenville,
