The liberty which the world
pleads for In matters OF morality and

does not cram her teaching down

but on the contrary sheqhas always
been the jealous guardian OF the dig

RAILWAY WAGES AND RAIL
WAY EARNINGS.

There were substantial increases in
| the wages of railway employees during
the fiscal year 1911. Reports filed with
| the Interstate Commerce Commission
show that the total compensation to
the employees of railways over 500 miles
long was sl0o5,277,2i9 The total wage
cost to the railways for the year was
greater by $i1, SIS, $50 than it would have
been at the rates of pay in effect dur
ing 1910, and greater by s69297.61s than
it would have been at the rates of pay
in effect during 1909
Notwth standing an increase of 2,1oS
in the miles of railway operated, there
were fewer employees on the payrols
June 30, 1910, by 3l.oS7, yet the total
compensation paid to employees during
1911 was greater than that paid dur
ing 1910 by sI9976,2i6. This is greater
than the increase in the gross earnings
of the railways by s22.595,12l. the net
revenues of the railways, which are
what is lett AFTER paying operating en-
penses, fell off by sio,9ss,5S9 during this
same period in which compensation in
creased nearly fifty million dollars.
These figures are summarized from
Bulletin No. 2s of the Bureau of Rail-
way Economics, which are based on Of
ficial reports made by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and which 'ex-
hibits in detail comparison of the az
gregate compensation to different class
es of employees, the number of employees
of different classes and the relation to
railway traffic for the fiscal years 1909,
1910, and 1911.
The summary of revenues and expen-
ses of the steam railways over fifty
miles in lentsh for the month of Deoem-
Der, just issued by this Bureau. shows
that for the calendar year 1911 the total
operating revenues wree less than for
the calendar year 1910 by s27,69S,7so and
the net revenues less by s222s6,7S4.
