s51,ooo,ooo - Increase Of Operating
Expenses Cut Profits.


New York. Nov. 25.-The annual re-
port OF the Union Pacific railroad FOR
the fiscal year ending June 30 1908
issued today, shows gross earnings OF
$51,075,1S9, an increase of $3.574.909;
operating expenses, s2s,747,216. an In
crease of $3,1s7,990; net earnings, $22.-
327,973, increase Of $3s6.919; net sur
plus, after deducting betterments and
dividends, $4.943,474. an increase OF
$627,514. The report says increased
wages, greater costs of matrials and
supplies and increased expenses which
always attend congestion of traffic such
as existed last fall, have added greatly
to the operating expenses. The esti-
mate for the replacement OF property
damaged by the floods amounts to
about half a million dollars. Although
a considerable part of the damage was
repaired during June and included In
operating expenses, it was thought best
to set aside out Of the years income
$500, 900 to complete the reconstruction
of property destroyed.

Great Engineering SSaI OF sH0 SoNeu- :
ern Pacific Completed.
Ogden, Nov. 25.-The Ogden-Lucien
cutoff Is a hundred and two miles
in length, seventy-two miles on land
and tharty miles on trestle work and
films bver the waters Of the great
Salt Lake. It presents practically a
level tack, except for short distance
on the west end near Lucien, Nevada,
where slight grade is encountered.
Use Of the CUTOFF Will throw out Of
trans-continental traffic the old line
from Ogden to Lucien. This stretch Of
track, LAT miles in length, is one Of the
most difficult and expensive Of the Har-
riman system. It's maximum grade Is
a hundred and four feet to the mile
and helper engines are necessary.
Elimination OF this trackage will mean
a saving Of more than fifteen hun
dred day In actual operating ex-
penses; also saving OF two hours In
running time. The original scheme for
the cutoff was the pet plan Of the
late Coils p. Huntington and under
his directions Chief Engineer Hood pre-
pared plans for the great engineering
feat. The work has cost the South

two hundred thousan dollars.

TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.
They Are Considered Victory for the
Company.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-The street rail-
way strike was settled at an early
| hour this morning at conference be-
tween the mayor and the aldernanic
peace committee counsel for the COM
pany, and the strikers executive
board The basis OF the settlement Is
a complete victory for the company as.
far as the original demands Of the
men are concerned.
|. The agreement will be ratified by the
| men this morning, and It is expected
1 that traffic will be resumed today.
The only important concession made
by the company was the agreement to
reinstate all strikers, including those
who went out on sympathetic strike,
excepting those who resorted to vi0-
1ence during the strike.
The arbitration Of wages Is to be
according to the scale paid outside Of
Chicago.
These are the two points that have.
been the stumbling blocks to the ad-
justment Of the strike for the past
week.
The company insisted that It pays
higher wages than any similar corpor-
alton in the country. The men were
fearful that arbitration on the scale
paid in other cities would decrease their
wages, and fought stubbornly for their
point
The original demands Of the union

on this the company wins.
2. The employees shall be none but

wins.
8. That officials OF the union be Civ

discharged, and their discharge not TO

company wins.
4. Right of the union to regulate the
routing Of cars, It being claimed By

duty fifteen to twenty hours to make
full days pay. On this point the COM
pany wins.
5. It was demanded by the union
that all men should be taken back and
given IOTIuSI. pOSillOuS. 1uS agreement
is that all men not guilty Of violence
toward the company during the strike
are to be taken back This is the only
advantage obtained by the strikers.
Men Will Ratify Agreement.
Mayor Harrison expressed the opin-
ion that not the slightest doubt exist
ed that the men will ratify the agree
ment, and is certain that the strike 10
a thing Of the past.
Thus after thirteen days Of turmoil
service on the various lines of the City
Railway Company, covering an area Of
fifty-two square miles, was resumed.
The agreement as ratified by the men
and previously accepted by the COM
pany provides for a settlement Of the
wage question by the board Of arbitra-
ton. wages to be based on the market
value OF the mems services, the present
scale not figuring in the calculations.
The new schedule of working hours
more favorable to the employees will be
arranged and all strikers. except those
guilty of violence during the strike, will
be taken back. The company retains
the right to employ, discharge or dis
cipline Its employees as 1t sees fit.
