Besides his hypnotic entertain

company is Miss Marjorie Burke who

Railway Wages and Earn
inRs

There were substantial increases
In the wages OF railway employees
during the fiscal year 1911. Re-
ports filed with the Interstate Con-
merce Commission show that the
total compensation to the en-
ployees OF railways over 500 miles
long was s1,oo5, 277, 2is. The total
wage cost to the railways for the
year was greater by 81, SOS, sl2 than
u would have been at the rates of
pay in effect during 1910, and great
er by $6s, Q ,67s than II woulj
aave been at the rates Of pay in
effect 1uring 1909.
Notwithstanding an increase of
2,i0s in the miles OF railway
operated, there were fewer en-
ployees on the payrolls June 80
1911, than on June 80, 1910, by
1881, yet the total compensation
paid TO employees during 1911 was
greater than that paid during 1910
by sie,s76,2i6. This is greater
than the increase In the gross earn
ings Of the railways by S~22.5e5.12i.
The net revenues of the railways.
which are what Is left after paying
operating expenses, fell off by $40
ess,53o during this same period in
which compensation increased near
ly fifty millioa dollars.
These figures are summarized
from Bullotin No. rs of the Bureau
OF Railway Economics, which Is
basel on official reports made by
the railways to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, AMI which ex-
hibits In detail n comparison OF the
aggregate compensation to differ
ent classes OF employees, the num-
Der OF employees OF iiferent class
es, AMI the relation to railway
traffic for the fiscal years, 1909
1910 AMI 1911.
The summary OF revenues AM
expenses OF the steam railways
over fifty miles In length for the
month OF December, Just issued by
this Bureau, shows that for the
calcn lar year 1911 the total oper-
ating revenues were less than for
the calendar year 1910 by S27, $685.
80, ana the net revenues less by
