Pennsylvania Earnings.

An Eastern financial paper states that the
Pennsylvania is now earning about 20 per
cent. upon it's stock against IL per cent last
year The rates received by railroads are
much lower than those which prevailed in
former years, but the volume of business
handled has so largely increased and such
economies have been introduced in recent
years that the net results are especially
satisfactory to the stakeholder. This ap-
plies with especial force to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, where economy in opera
ton has been the especial study of the man.
agement, and this has been accomplished,
not by grinding down the wages of the
employees, but by supplying more and larger
cars, more locomotives of the latest type
and of greatest power more and better
tracks, easier grades, better terminal facil-
tiles, so that the cost of operation APP
proaches a minimum. This work is still
going on under the direction of President
Cassatt over the entire system. At New
York. Jersey City, Philadelphia, Washing
ton and Pittsburg large sums of money are
being expended or plans made for expendi-
ture which will help to perfect the rail-
road, and the work of laying additional
tracks Is noticeable wherever one travels
over the system. Much of this great i'm
provement is paid for out of earnings. OF
the nearly s20,00O,0O0 applied to improve
ments last year $40, ,594 was taken out of
the earnings, a sum almost as large as that
which was required to pay the dividend of
per cent. on the stock There was also
used for a similar purpose $S536.756

fore the vote has been completed. There Is
absolutely no talk of strike and the pos
sibility of such movement is extremely

So far as Indianapolis lines are concerned
the relations between the companies and
the employees are satisfactory, and wages
have been adjusted to meet the views of
the brotherhoods the Big Four having ad-
justed it's grievances quite recently with its
employees, who are now receiving the same
pay they did before the 10 per cent. re-
duction.
