Cannot Force Wabash to Pay

2uestion-Kindly let ma know your
scpirlon OF the Wabash Railroad stock pre-
terred .h A. According to their certificate
.ney are to pay per cent when earned,
rTs.organization T.g until the war broke out.
ihey certainly ought to be able to pay
now, as they got compensation from the
government. Can you please let me know
~. ~ what way can force them to show
thelr earnings and how I can compel them
20 pay dividend &C w. L.
Answer-When the Wabash Railway
Company signed up with the govern
ment the compensation was based upon
the net operating income for three
years to June 80, 1917 This guaranty
amounted to $5,S57.772 per annum.
1hls compensation lasts until August
81, 1920. This figure is equal to but
S81 per cent on the preferred A stock.
obviously, it would be bad policy to
pay dividends if the income was not
sufficient, particularly in view of the
fact that the actual earnings of the
company for the first five months of
1920 showed nothing earned on the
stock. On the contrary, there was a
net deficit for the period of S3,321.249,
against deficit of $70,431 for the
same period of 1919. This means that
the government-and, in turn, the tax
payers-lost for these five months over
S5,7oO,00o. We. do not see, then, that
you would stand much chance of fore
ING. the Wabash Railway to pay you
dividends. The earnings of this road,
as we'll as the others, are published
from time to time in The Tribune.
