BULK GOES TO LABOR.

Vice President Brown. who IS soon

ings of the railroads % this country last
year In an address before the nli-
nois Manufacturers association Mr..
Brown stated that S71 out of every 500
earned by the railroads in 1907 was
Immediately paid out for labor or
equipment and material. by far the
largest share going to labor. He also
said the railroads receive more and keen
less than any other department of bust
ness activity in this country. Accord
ing to his figures. out of every 500
earned by the railroads only 50 goes 10
the owners. the shareholders. represent
ing less than per cent of the face
value.
The following interesting figures were
given by Mr.. Brown. showing the enor-
nous scale upon which the railroad
business of this country is done:
In mileage the railroads OF the Unit
ed States approximate 225,0O0 miles.
They employed in 1907 in the neighbor-
hood of l,s75OoO men. and their gross
earnings amounted to $2,5S5. 81. 900. OF
more than 100000 for each of the se5
days Of the year. Figures of this mag
nitude can be better comprehended by
comparison, and il may be stated that
the number Of employees on the pay
rolls of American railroads in 1907 was
only about $4,000 less than the standIne
armies Of the United States. Great Brit
ain, Germany, France and Japan com

That the people of this country will

years is the conclusion reached by Pro-
fessor Joseph French Johnson OF the
University of New York. At the pres
ent time commodities are sold for "A

Professor Johnson bases his predic-

that the yellow metal is too plentiful.
