WAS A GREAT RAILROAD YEAR.
Lines Throughout Country Never En-
joyed Such Prosperity.


The fiscal year ended June 80 was
an unusually successful one for the
railroad and industrial corporations of
the United States, all previous records
having been broken. The Wall Street
Journal has made an estimate on the
basis of reports made 60 it and has
arrived at the following conclusions:
That the railroads of the United
States earned $2,57s,413,273 gross in
the fiscal year, an increase of $685.
previous year. compared with an in
crease of $237,277,624, or ia per
cent, in 1906 over 1905.
THAT the net earnings of railroads
this fiscal year amounted to $S41,468,-
SOB, an increase of $50, 1911, 626, or 6.84
per cent. over the net earnings of the
previous fiscal year. compared with an
increase of ,329,141, or 1873 per
cent, in 1906 over 1905.
That the wages paid to railroad
employees in the fiscal year now closed
exceeded S1,O25, 100000, an increase of
more than s1OO,OOO.0O0 in the year"

figures are given and comparisons In

In two years the railroad of the
United States have increased their
gross receipts nearly $50O,00O,OO0.
They have increased the volume of
their business even more than these
figures show. because the tendency of
is an increase in two years which ex-
ceeds the entire gross earnings of the
81, 900 miles of railroad in the United |
States thirty years ago.
All previous yearly records for |
operations and earnings of industrial |
corporations have been broken during |
the twelve months ended June 80. |
Never before in the history of the lead |
ing industrial concerns has such pros |
pcrity prevailed as that which char |
actertzed the period from June 80, |
1906, to yesterday. The iron, steel, !,
copper and other metal and coal pro- !
ducing and selling industries, without |
put. shipments and profits, and their /
officials express the belief that the |
which attended their bust |
ness during the last fiscal year will I
continue at least throughout the re- |
mainder of the calendar year.
