R. R. NEEDS POINTED OUT
President Of Pressed Steel Car Urges
Higher Rates.

r. ". HoTstot, president OF the
Pressed Steel Car Company, In his re-
port 60 the stockholders for the year
ended December 81, 1915. saws the
years business began with the worst
outlook in the history OF tho company.
For the future he sees difficulty In the
advance In tho prices of raw material
and the failure Of the railroads to re-
ceive substantial rate advances to off,
set their increased cost of operation.
"The next few months" Mr.. llofstot
says, will, no doubt, establish basis
for purchases that will be recognized
as permanent, and. should fair m
crease be granted tho railroads, all in
forests would be greatly benefited by
tho resultant purchasing OF tho ran
roads"
The use OF gondola and box cars by
tho Russian government, the contract
for which was filed by the company
in 1914. he says. is being watched with
great interest. in the hope that 1t WI
result in increased business for this
country.
Gross sales OF the company for the
year ended December 81 totalled ST.
492 ,62l. against Sl3,375,090 in 1914 Net
profits. after deducting 1892, ,643 for re

Charles W. Nash, president, In his
remarks TO stockholders, says; While
operations and earnings for the frst
six months Of the fiscal year have
shown unusual gain, and the demand
for automobiles has never been SC
great, the situation in the material
market is very unusual, and | believe
that we shall experience difficulty In
securing sufficient material TO operate
our plants to capacity. There is also
az present a shortage Of freight cars
to move our product, and 1t is not
likely that this condition will improve
for some time. Owing 10 these rea-
sons, We can hardly expect the ns1t
six months 20 yield such gains in
profits and production"
