Teamsters union boss James R. Hoffa is one, railmen say. Another is the tax collector. Black - robed judges have lent a hand, and are being be- seeched for more help.

But it's surprising the con- tribution arising from a com- bination of comparatively mi- nor influences that individually don't cut too much ice. "We have been given sub- stantial help by Mr. Hoffa who increasingly makes it difficult for motor carriers to compete with railroads on the long haul. We are grateful to him." i Stockholders of the Chicago examinations. Oldham found Vancouver and made it a Holds Three Rob Suspects DRESDEN, Ont.

Mathews, president of the 862-mile, Illinois-Indiana_ con- necting line that relies heavily on hauling coal. The railroad, " see THE aids wn 18, 1964 2) v Helps on its uppers a couple of years ago, is enjoying a spectacular resurgence. RATE INCREASES Mathews' point, echoed pri- vately by other rail executives, is that truck rate increases forced by teamster wage con- tract gains are causing ship- pers to shift some of their busi- ness to rail transport. The most recent Hoffa con- tract is said to entail upwards of $500,000,000 in added expense over three years. In_ contrast, new efficien- cies by rapdly modernizing rail- roads have pared average U.S tail freight rates for five years running, and brought them to @ 15-year low of 1 1-3 cents for each ton hauled one mile. This now is one-fourth the cost of speedier truck service. Moreover, on specific types of operations -- notably "piggy- backing" truck trailers: on flat cars, one - commodity "unit" trains of coal and new car haulage on special rack cars-- competitive gains have been striking. Ben H. Heineman, board chairman of the Chicago and North Western Railway, fore- sees-a further decline in' rail rates in the next five years or so while truck charges continue rising. TAX REFUNDS Tf the trend continues, major U.S. industries which have gone in heavily for "do-it-yourself" transportation--with their own truck and barge fleets--may turn over big haulage volumes to the railways. : Another form of financial tonic has shown up in state property tax refunds. The IHinois Supreme Court held in 1962 that rail carriers were being gouged by state and local tax officials. Refunds and taxing reforms were ordered, the latter assuring lower future tax bills. Some railaoads have won federal income tax refunds totlling millions, U.S. railroad earnings were swelled by $150,000,000 'in 1962 and by $175,000,000 in 1963 by federal depreciation and invest- ment tax credit benefits. Another sometimes over- looked but growing source of comfort to railroad treasurers is sale or lease of building rights in air space over urban trackage, and-surplus property in downtown areas. For example, the New York Central took in nearly $16,000,- 000 in lease fees, rents and similar income in 1963. exactly as illustrated SPECIAL PURCHASE of Factory 1964 Promotion Limited Quota Offer Slim, Contemporary Delightful -- Four Seater Sofa and Chair Long and Sleek with the SCULPTURED LOOK--Step down curved arm design accents the Ultra Slim lines of both Sofe and chair, Note the LUXURIOUS Arm inserts of Genuine Solid Walnut, Each piece expertly tailored in beautiful textured fab- ric that wears and wears, Choose from 6 fashionable colors, See it now, and SAVE on this Once @ year factory Promotion Special.
