SHOWS Big INCREASE
SOuthern's Report Discusses
Operating Expenses.
ROAD HAS A FINE OUTLOOK
Expansion OF Industries I'm the south
Means Much TO It-ActIon Upon
Rate Regulation I'm Southern States
Is ExpIained-Gross Earnings In
crease During Fiscal Year.

The thirteenth annual report Of the
president and directors of the Southern
Railway Company TO the stockholders,
which has just been issued. includes an
interesting statement regarding the ques-
ton of operating expenses. the increase
in which during the past year has caused
considerable discussion.
In this connection the report, which
covers the period of twelve months ended
June 20 last, says:
Great as are the burdens upon the
operation OF a railroad to-day by reason
Of the increased cost OF material Of all
classes and the unabating expectations
Of labor, on the one hand, and legislative
reduction Of revenue and increased taxes,
on the other hand. the crying necu on
the railroads Of the South is more track.
more equipment. more terminal facilities.
With the strategic position and establish
ed relations which the Southern Railway
Company now has there would be no
stint in the amount Of traffic II could OBJ
tain and proftably handle II II had the
facilities necessary TO afford to those
who OFFER traffic the service they de-
mand. During the past winter there
were serious congestions OF freight on
the lines Of this company, which were
due. almost without exception. to the
failure Of the plant TO respond 10 de-
mands which were made upon It beyond
Its capacity. While exasperating the pub
lie. congestion rolls up the expense Of
operation. and both shipper and carrier
suffer.
Apart from congestion Of traffic, the
expenses Of operation, Of which mention
has been made. have been extraordinary.
To illustrate During this fiscal year
the rates OF pay Of machinists. boiler
makers, blacksmiths, timers. and pipe
men, carmen. engineers. fremen, conduc-
tors. trainmen. operators, and mainte-
nance OK way employees were substan-
TALLY increased. this Increase aprroxi-
mating $l.250.000 per annum; while the
greater price at the mines, together with
freight charges paid for coal purchased
for the Virginia and North Carolina lines
from mines on other railroads added
nearly $4,000 20 the cost Of fuel in the
same period. II comparisons are made
with the cost OF material and labor sew
eral years ago. the present burden is
st.l more apparent. Since 1S9S the cost
OF bridge timber increased from 1886 20
S23.59 per thousand feet. cross-ties from
3 cents 10 S-5 cents per tie; steel rails
from sl7,75 per ton to S29 per ton, fuel
coal from So cents to s1.S7 per ton: the
cost Of labor. per mile Of road. has in
creased from Si,6Z.67. in 1885. 10 s25l364.
in 1895 with q further advance 10 2lS911
IN 1907
"On the Southern Railway these causes
have sometimes produced disappointing
results but the officers believe in the
property, know It's possibilities, and, with
the loyal cooperation Of all classes Of
employees, look forward confidently 20 the
future.
