Operating Income
OF Pennsylvania
Jumps i'm August
Comparison With Figures
for Last Year Made Diff
cult by Changes in Rates
and Wages in Meantime

Total operating revenues of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in August, 1921,
were $42,819,OOO. This was $8,753, 900
less than the revenues in August. 1920,
and, furthermore, rates in August, 1921,
were between 80 and 40 per cent higher
than in August, 1920. 1t should be
borne in mind that the rate increases
went into effect in the last part Of
August, 1920.
On the other hand, railroad wages
were raised about 20 per cent in Au-
gust, 1920, but were made retroactive,
and the total, including back pay, was
charged into the expenses of the rail-
roads in August, 1920. Without max
ing full allowance for this fact, COM
parison Of railroad operating expenses
in August, 1921, with those Of August,
1920, is entirely misleading. Total
were $35,371 900 in August, 1921, or
$40,8O9, 900 less than the charges (not
the actual operating eXpenses) in Au
gust, 1920.
The Pennsylvania's August operating
income, which is the amount left after
the payment of expenses and taxes,
was $5,l04 900, an increase of 1888,
494. Whereas the Western roads, and
even to some extent other trunk lines,
are considerably helped ny crop move
ments in August, September and Oc-
tober. the Pennsylvania's traffic is 30
largely dependent on industrial condi-
tions, especially in the Pittsburgh dis
trict, as to be affected to only small
percentage by grain movement.
Illinois CentraPs total operating
revenue in August, 1921, was $13.969,-
900, and its net operating income was
$1,283,000
The Lackawanna August statement re-
fleets conditions in the anthracite fields
and the Western Maryland's in the
West Virginia bituminous coal fields.
Lackawanna's total revenues were only
few thousand dollars less in August,
1921, than in August. 1920. The West
ern Maryland, earning only about
sixth as much as the Lackawanna,
shows a decrease in total revenues in
August. 1921, as compared with Au-
gust of last year, of over 100000.
