sue that they show a continued gain
in gross earnings and with hardly an
exception, in net earnings as Well. ii
adds:
I'm MANY instances the net earnings
display smaller percentages of gain
than do the gross earnings, this being
a result of the proportionately increas-
ed operating expenses following higher
wages, etc. OF the companies whose
reports are considered the Chesape peaKc

ace of gain and it is to be noted that
its increase in net is very nearly, Ii
not quite, equal to the increase IN
gross. The Louisville, Henderson and
st. Louis Railway also displays a
nearly equal percentage of gains IN
both gross and net, although not such
great increases as the Chesapeake and
Ohio.
THE percentages of increase ex-
hibited by the different companies are
as follows Atlantic Coast Line, gross

on the right the Russians are using
