That is the problem which the speculative HOLDER

The published earnings of the Chicago. Milwaukee
and ST. Paul Railroad for the fourth week Of March
have attracted considerable attention and excited
no little incredibly. because they sre reported at
$42I, 900 against 1912. 500 for the Same week Of
1ss0-an increase of $111. 494 for the week. But
the supposed phenomenal earnings may easily be ac-
counted Tor without any stretching of credulity.
The road seriously interfered with by snow
blockades during thu first three weeks, so
that trains certain portions of 1t were
not moved at all. This fact was reflected
by decrease of 500. 1850 in the company's earnings
for those three weeks During the fourth week,
cars that bad been loaded three weeks two weeks
and one week were moved; hence the increase Of
earnings shown. This explanation brings us face to
face with some very absurd and ridiculous state
ments that have been published about the large
loss of earnings of the st. Paul Company that Is
even stated as high 81 600 900 for the months of
January, February and March. The company's re-
ports of gross earnings presented below and
dOuOtedly near correct any statements that
are made up by weeks can be. The complny's own
showing Is bad enough without its beng exaggerated.
By TINT showing with an increased mileage Of about
1000 miles, or 90 per cent the month OF March
shows increased earnings OF only $40, 1925, and for
the three months ended March 81 an increase OF
only $iS7,279 Without taking into account the
extraordinary expenses incurred during the last
three months, which have 50 heavily affected the
net earnings Of railroads las was shown in the two
mouths statement of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
and Northern Company that printed in Mon
day TRIBUNEl. the interest FOR three months on the
additional debt of the st. Paul Company, which rep
the additional mileage. is nearly double the
amount OF increase in gross earnings reported by
the company. The interest runs seven days a week,
even when the road il blockaded for month more.
