dred Goes to the Owners.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

What became of the $2,5s5, $4,000
gross earnings of the railroads of this
country last year is a question which
W. c. Brown, president-elect of the
New York Central, set about to learn a
little while ago. The result of his in
vestigations has been made public, and
in doing so he answers the question.
Mr.. Brown says $71 out of every 800
earned by the railroads in 1907 was al
most Immediately redisbursed in pay
ment for labor or equipment and ma
teriaI, of which labor forms by far the
largest component part. He says that
the railroads receive more and keep
less than almost any other department
of business activity in this country.
Out of every 800 earned by the rail-
roads. he says, only SO goes to the own
ers. the shareholders representing less
than 4 per cent on the face value of
the securities.
The result of Mr.. Browns investiga-
ton was contained in an address made
last week by him before the Illinois
Manufacturers association.
'In mileage the railroads of the
United States approximate 225,O0O
miles," said Mr.. Brown. NThey en-
ployed in 1907 in the neighbOrhood of
1875 900 men, and their gross earnings
81, 900, 900 for each of the 365 days of the
year. Figures of this magnitude can be
better comprehended by comparison
and it may be stated that the number
of employees on the pay rolls of Ameri-
can railroads in 1907 was only about
$4,000 less than the standing armies of
the United States, Great Britain, Ger
many, France, and Japan combined.
Their gross earnings were three times
the total revenue of the United States
government; twenty-nine times the to-
tai gold production of the United
States, and six times the gold produc-
ton of the world"

SANTA FE WINS POINT.
Commerce Commission Grants Re
hearing in Fred Harvey Case.


A rehearing has been secured by
the Santa Fe road from the Interstate
Commerce commission of the case in
which the commission decided that it
could not transport free supplies to
the hotels on it's line run by Fred
Harvey, with whom the road has con-
tracts. The road contends that the
decision. if adhered to, will make it
impossible for it to maintain more
than ten hotels between Chicago and
the Pacific coast for the cars of its
transcontinental travel.
In its decision the commission. held
that where a railroad made contracts
with hotel keepers for the care of its
passengers and transported its sup
plies free, the service of feeding peo-
pie by such hotels must be limited to
the people actually travelling over its
road.
1t is claimed by the Santa Fe that
the enforcement of this decision would
be a deathblow to the hotels along its
lines in which over 100000 is in
vested. 1t would be impossible to eX-
clude the general public from these
hotels. The road hopes to be able
to convince the commission that there
is nothing illegal in what it is doing.
If an adverse decision is given by the
commission, the company will take
the case into the courts. Officials of
the road say the string of hotels which
the company maintains has done more
than any other thing to build up the
towns and the passenger traffic of the

TO NUMBER STATIONS.
New Device Being Patented for Penn
SYIVania Road.

A new and ingenious scheme for
calling out stations has been presented
to General Manager w. w. Atterbury
of the Pennsylvania railroad, and has
been referred by him to a committee
of operating officers. If adapted, an
indicator would be placed in the upper
right hand corner of each end of a
car. When the train left one station
the brakeman would pull a lever,
which would show the number of the
next, all stations going by numbers
instead of names. The cost would be
almost 100000 for the Pennsylvania
system, with an additional cost of
$250,OOO for changing station signs.
1t would, however, make travelling for
the public more convenient.

faces and a whole lot of things that
go to make baseball popular.
