WHAT IT COST THE "a"
The Strike Made Hole of About &3, OOO,-
900 III Its Excheuuar.

The Strike Made a Hole of About &3, OOO,-
900 in Its Exchequer.
CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The engineers strike
has been costly one to the Chicago, Bur-
hngton & Quincy Railroad Company, and
although it has achieved complete VIC
tory and gained all the points for
which it contended, yet it is doubtful
whether the company would not have
been better off in the end had it
made some concessions ct the be-
ginning of the conflict and avert
ed the strike. The trouble came at a
time when the company could not we'll at
ford to stand the heavy losses the strike
entailed upon it. Business was exceeding
~ dull and rates low, and its earnings from
January l to the commencement of the
strike had decreased over -, OOO, 900 It
was no doubt for this reason that the
company accepted the strike rather than
to grant the increase in salaries demanded
by its men.
To make correct showing of what the
strike has cost the company is impossible.
The only way by which an approximate
estimate can be made is to take the de-
crease In net earnings this year as COM
pared with last and then make due al
lowance for what the decrease from
natural causes would have been had
there been 70 strike. As stated
above, the decrease in net earn
tngs from January l, 1885, to the be-
ginning of the strike amounted to 50 OOO.-
Co., AS there was no perceptible improve
ment in business or rates up to the end Of
Au aust it is fair to presume that the addi-
tional decrease in the earnings of the COM
pany would have been about Il son, 600,
making total decrease of s. SOC, 900 had
there been no strike. The records
OF the company show that from
January l, 1883, to October /, 1888, the de-
crease in net earnings was about S. 5OO,.
600. Therefore, deducting the s. 5000
which, it is estimated, the company would
have lost had there been no strike from
the above amount, there remains loss
OF about IS, co., 600 that can be attributed
directly to the strike. The CON-
pany's officials estimate their loss on
account Of the strike at about q OOO QUO,
but this is no doubt mistake, as the loss
during the first month of the strike alone
exceeded 81, zoo, GOO. and the losses for the
succeeding three months averaged about
100000 each. Consequently the estimate
taat the strike cost the company about
IS. DOC. 600 is not too high.
