casting Dividends Impossible.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 2S.-In view oc
the discussing Of a possible increased dipi-
dend by the Pennsylvania Railroad, The
road makes public its method of declaring
al its dividends. This policy derives
rather special interest from the fact that
the company has never failed to pay an
annual cash dividend 20 its stockholders
For many years il has been the fixed
policy OF the road for the directors 70 re-
fuse 10 discuss the question OF dividend
until all the reports were completed and
submitted 10 the board.
When these figures have been made Up,
meetings Of the finance committee and OF
the board are called. The former meets
a. II o'clock. goes carefully over the state
meRts and determines upon It's recon-
mcndation % the board as to the rate az
the dividend to be paid. based upon the
earnings OF the previous six months.
This committee continues in session
until l. o'clock, when, without leaving
the room, the members appear before the
board Of directors. which meets at that
hour. The report is then considered, and
the necessary action is taken by the board
in declaring the dividend Thus there is
no chance Tor any leak o. information or
for any one or more Of the directors to
know what the dividend viii be. and the
announcement is given 70 the public i'm
medi8tely after the adjournment Of the
board. Any attempt. therefore. 20 fore
cast the dividend rate for any given SIX
months is merely CueSSwOrk
