1910 GREAT YEAR FOR
TRUSTS, FOR WORKERS

The year 1910 is to be a great
year for the trusts.
Take the steel trust, for in
stance, which has been singled
out as one of the. good trusts Of
governmental favor.
For 1910 it is expected to show
gross earnings Of $1,000,000,000
and net earnings of $180,000,000
to $2,00,000,000, wrested from the
public to assure the reasonable
profit guaranteed by law. For
the last three months of 1909
the trust earned $41, 100000 net,
or enough money to provide a
liberal depreciation account, to
enlarge the plant, to increase the
common dividend, and still have
left a nest egg of $15,000,000 The
year 1910 at this rate ought to
show a stee! surplus Of $75,000,-
900 to $100,o00,000.
