DIVIDENDS 4 CUT
BY RAILROADS
Statement Issued to Show
How Wages Have Increas-
ed at Expense of Owners

CHICAGO. Aug. 19.-While
wages of the employees of the Penn
sylvania Railroad increased con-
sidera bly, during the war, retaining
their high standard during bust
ness depression, stockholders be-
ginning with the slack up OF bust-
ness have been forced to take
much smaller dividends, according
to statement issued today by the
mana cement Of the road.
The statement was issued, &C.
cording to the management, to
show by comparison how the
recent so-called depression and de-.
fation affected the income of hold
ers of industrial securities compar-
ed with the status of labor during
the same period.
The statement, said to be ap-
plicab1e to most roads of the coun-
try. says:
In 1914 wages on our railroad
averaged $3.50 year per employee.
they average $500. Our stock
average ownership is seventy-one
shares. Before the war seventy-one
shares yielded an income Of S213
year in 1921 and our directors
were forced to reduce the dividend.
This cut the return of the average
number of shares to $142 year.
Our employees wages are 50 per
cent higher than in 1914. Our
stockholders are getting one-third
less dollars than In 1914 and like
the employees, they have to meet
the higher cost Of living. AS be-
tween the stockholders and the
employee, the burdens of the war
have fallen entirely upon the form
er. The railroads have had to ac-
cept a reduction in freight rates.
Wages, even in a depressed year
like 1921, took over 81 per cent
of every dollar paid by the public
for service, whereas, after paying
wages, taxes, materials and sur-
ply bills, fixed charges. etc., less
than two cents Of every dollar OF
revenue remained to pay dividends
and maintain the credit of the sys-
tenn"
The statement concluded with
the assertion that although there
has been a noticeable increase in
earnings this year, there is little
Likelihood that dividends would be
restored in the near future" Mos:
of the roads. the statement con.
tinued, will find it necessary to
spend the bulk OF Increased earn
ings for new equipment.

Glaciers At
 The Equator

We do not usually think of gla- eiers in connection with darkest Africa" or any other part of that continent, but a>.U- Ing to the Unit ed States Geological Survey, Depart ment of the Interior, there arc small glaciers on three of the highest mountains In Equatorial Africa-Mt. Kilimanjaro, 19,321 feet high: Mt.
 tumenzori, 16,S00 feet high; and Mt. Kenya, about 17,O07 feet high. In Kebo peak. which is part Of Mt. Kilimanjaro, there is an ice cap 200 feet thick, which fills the ravines forming glaciers. several of which extend down to points 16.0OO feet above sea level and one to 13,- 800 feet. Both Mt. Ruwenzori and Mt. Kenya are close to the equator, but their lowest glaciers extend down to points 12.700 and 14,46O feet respectively, above sea level. A study of the moraines formed by these glaciers shows that during the Ice Age, the glaciers were much lar ger than they are now.
