ROCK ISLANDS NET
EARNINGS DECREASE
Colorado Strike and Other Causes Rel
sponsibIe for This Result

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-The annual re-
port of the Rock Island was issued
today 1t shows that for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1904, the increase
in gross earnings was $592,871, and the
Increase in freight earnings $249,725,
but the operating expenses were so
heavy as to cause a decrease in net
earnings Of $3,122,S57. The surplus
available for dividends is cut from
$9,572,911 on hand at the end of the
last fiscal year to $6,028,19S. The in
crease in operating expenses, while
largely due to the higher wages and
high prices for materials, is attributed
to exceptional conditions, the more
notable being the coal strike in the
Colorado mines and the increased min
ing rates in Kansas and Indian Terri
tory, which resulted in a material in
crease in the purchase price of fuel
and entailing the additional expense
of transporting the conlpanys coal
over long distances.
The annual report of the Rock Island
company was issued simultaneously with
that of the Rock Island Railway COM
pany. The Rock Island company is
the owner of the entire capital stock,
except directors shares of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific railway.
During the year the issued common
stock of the Rock Island company was
increased from $75,000,000 to $96.000,-
900 and the preferred stock from $751;
600 900 to $54,000,000, all of which has
been issued for the acquisition of the
Rock Island Railway company. The
surplus of the Rock Island company
for the year was s129,763. The total
bonded debt at the close of the fiscal
year was $86,738,415.
