Got Ahead Of 6randejs,

Mr.. Brandeiss offer to show tho
railroads where they can save a mil
lion dollars 4 day by more scientific
management should draw attention to
the fact that they are already saving
much more than million dollars Il
day by the great improvements In
methods Of operating and manage
ment which they have made during
the past fifteen years. says the Wall
Street Journal. This may be clearly
shown by glance at the changes in
gross receipts per ton of freight car
ried, and at the proportions of these
gross receipts which it would require
to pay the capitalist his interest and
dividends, and to pay the laborer his
wages.
Our railway managers have become
so much more scientific in their meth
DDS Of operation that they have been
able to give the laborer an increase Of
3 cents for every ton of freight car
ried. give the capitalists an increase of
cents for every ton carried. and at
the same time reduce the charge for
carrying ton of freight by nearly six
cents. It is interesting to note that
the shipper has obtained almost as
much benefit as the laborer and the
capitalist combined. 1t is true that
the average grade of freight is some
what lower than in 1893; but this con-
sideration is partly or wholly Offset by
the increase in the length of the aver
age haul.
In 1907 the shipper paid the railroads
nearly sl44.ooo.00o less than he would
have done had the freight rates OF
1898 still prevailed. and even in 1908
nearly SS60o0,oe0 less.
Thus the railroads seem to have
largely anticipated Mr.. Brandeis. A
comparison of the operating results OF
1908 With those Of 1893 shows a truly

wonderful increase in the efficiency

wonderful increase in the efficiency OF
operation. The average revenue Tor
carrying a ton Of freight during that
period fell from s1.134 to $1.07S; and yet
the amount Of money paid to the cap
italists as interest and dividends in
creased from 463 cents to 49.3 cents
per ton Of freight carried; and the
amount paid to the wage Garner in
creased from G2.3 cents to 67.3 cents
per ton. Nor can this gain be attrib-
uted to the growth Of passenger bust
ness. since the passenger business
tends to grow more slowly than the
freight, and the margin Of profit in
handling it tends to decrease.
