The proponed increases, it Is esti mated, would yield about $900,000. 000 $700,000,000 in: freight and t200,000,000 in passenger revenues. This would leave a margin above the estimated Increases In operating ex penses eventually, bat since the hew rates would not go Into effect until the, year Is half over, their yield would fall several hundred million dollars short of meeting the annual deficit this year. j" The estimate of increased wages is based on the probability that the director general will approve a gen eral scheme of higher pay for work men in accordance with rail roil' wage commission's recommendation which called for an addition of $300.000;000 to the $2,000,000,000 navroll of last year. 1 Collars v FOR SPRING , CASCO-2Vtin.

Mr. Sinfpson declared a firm con viction that he ia going to be nom inated and elected.

"And that does not mean that if elected I will remove from office all men who sow hold them." said Mr. Simpson. "That's playing- politics, and that I will not do." Factories Are I'ntftl.
