The Union Pacifc's Financial
Showing Under Govern.
ment Control.
EIGHT MILLIONS NET PROFIT.
Railroad Men Assert That the Central
Pacific Could Be Made to
Pay as Much.

Apropos of c. P. Huntington's fight fo
the refunding bill and his claims that the
Central Pacific SO far has not been oper
ated with profit. some local railroad mer
(not Southern Pacific otficials) point tC
the dispatch in yesterdays CALL, giving
the earnings of the Union Pacific for ths
past year.
The dispatch tells the following interest
ing story:
BOSTON, MASS, Feb 19.-The Union Pacific
December statement for the whole system
SHOWS gross earnings of 81, ,S72, ,S63, increase
$l63, ,293; net 1914 ,253; increase, 1924, ,544
For twelve months: Gross earnings, $22,350,
4o4; decrease, 1921 1926; net, $S, ,304, ,607; in
crease, 81, ,861, ,s02.
This shows that while the gross earnings
decreased over three quarters of million
the net earnings increased more than one
million and three-quarters. Railway mer
declare that only good economical man.
agement could ever produce such results
and they regard 1t as so much evidence Of
what can be done when the Government
assumes control of railroad.
Ihe Union Pacific under its old manage.
ment was financial failure; it could no,
pay Its debt to the Government, and had
to go into the hands of a receiver. Now il
Is able 10 make an extraordinary showing
financially, and in the face Of compare
lively dull times present most encourag-
ing annual statement to the alton.
Nearly 5000 000 clear profit in the last
year. which everybody will concede was
not particularly prosperous one, is taken
by men who understand railroading as
positive proof that the Pacific railroads
are not bankrupt propositions. On the
contrary these same railways are really
prohtable enterprises, which under honest
and able management could pay hand
somely, IN fact enough to pay Governme ent
debts from year to year out OF the surplus
profit after paying interest OH bonds, etc.
The showing for 1895 was discussed by
local railroad men yesterday. One of them
made com parison through Poor's Rail-
way Manual. This gave the gross earnings
OF the Union Pacific system for 1894 as
81, 3l9, IA Al, net earnings $6,S10,273 80
and the surplus So, sos, ,007 %.
Under the receivers management the
Union Pacific system has proved mag
nlhcent business proposition" he said.
Some Improbable lines were Topped off,
unnecessary expenses cut down, and with
wise views OF managing the system grand
showing has been made. Without most
It's branch lines the Union Pacific is the
breadwinner of the country.
I'm the first place the gross earnings
lacked nearly million dollars OF the year
before. That may have been due to dull
times and a contracted business, but here
we see the net earnings have run away up.
Now how can any one account for that? |
wonder.how old Uncle Coils would ex-
plain those figures, do you? The Union
Pacific cut off ali its bIoodsuckers and the
expenses that somehow grew from year to
year with the Pacific railroads-the same
exactly as are still allowed to remain in
the Central Pacific.

A BREAK FOR LIBERTY,
George Moran, an Ex-Convict, EnIivens
the Proceedings in Judge Con-
lan's Court.


George Moran, an ex-convict, was the
cause of enlivening the proceedings in
Judge Conlan's court yesterday morning
by making desperate attempt to regain
his liberty.
Wednesday afternoon Moran stole hat
from buggy which was standing in front
of Gruenhagen's confectionery store. %
Kearny street. Policeman J. H. Flynn
arrested him and Moran dropped the hat.
As Flynn stopped to pick it up Moran
drew razor out of his pocket and made a
slash at Flynn's neck. Moran ran along
Geary street pursued by Flynn, who over
took him at Grant avenue. He was taken
to the California street station and
charged with petty larceny and assault to
murder.
He had just been placed in the dock
yesterday morning with the other prison
ers when he sprang over the iron railing
and made dash for the door. Policemen
Behan and Boyd rushed after him and
caught him as he collided with a citizen
who was entering the courtroom. He
struggled fercely to get away, but was
oyerpowered and manacled. He was sen.
fenced to six months in the County Jail
for stealing the hat, and held to answer
before the Superior Court in $1,000 bonds
for assault to murder.
About year ago Moran made similar
attempt to escape from Judge Lows court
room. He jumped out of the dock and
through the open window and was climb
ing over the parapet to jump TO the court
yard when Policeman Wallace grabbed
him.

ing. Think of it-a business paying nearly
So, 600, 900 IN year in those times! Why
that road can easily pay its debt to the
Government 1t is my honest opinion
that the Central Pacific could do the same
provided there were no directors and no
way OF getting away with the earnings.
The Central and Union Pacific roads are the
main artery of commerce and travel from
one side of the continent to the other
You could not drive people off them with
club. Every plot and scheme to the
contrary to divert passenger or freight
business over other routes the Central road
will always get the best share OF transcon-
tinental business. You can't keep people
off the route.
This showing is an object lesson to the
Central Pacific and to the United States
Government. The Central Pacific can
make just as good a showing. No doubt
its earnings are Just as heavy. But they
are financiers-out of sight.
Two and two make one over in that
shop"
The speaker stood on Montgomery street
opposite the Southern Pacific bead offices
across the street, and he indicated the
''shop" with wave of his hand.
The Union Pacific, as everybody knows,
went into the hands of receiver and four
other receivers were appointed TO act with
him. But The system is managed by
o. II. II. CIdrke, tne dDleSl living railway
manager. He was raised by Gould in the
business on the Missouri Pacific, and when
Gould got an interest in the Union Pacific
Clarke became vice e-president of the Union
Paciic. Later he was made president.
He is senior receiver. Associated with
him are Oliver W. Mink, e. Ellery Ander-
son, John w. Doane and Fred C. Coudert,
three OF them representing the United
States Government.
Under their control the bloodsuckers-
that is the small feeders-have been Topped
off, operating and other unnecessary ex-
penses reduced considerably and the road
has been put upon a paying basis. The
Denver and Gulf Road, Denver and Fort
Worth and local lines in Colorado and
Kansas have been dropped, and the Union
Pacific depends upon itself, with the result
that it has proved itself 10 be a splendid
property. There are no directors now, nor
side schemes to be utilized in avoiding div
idends and payment OF debts to the Gov
ernment, SO the Union Pacific is paying.
Now, suppose the same rules were ap-
piled to the Central Pacific, the funding
bill would not be heard of, for the profits
would more than pay debts, interest and
fixed charges"
