FORD RAILWAY EARNINGS
ARE AGAIN ON INCREASE
Slump of Past Four Months Van

After a lean period of earnings for
four months, the Ford experiment in
railroading is beginning. with the re-
sumption of the heavy shipping sea-
son. again to show large ne. earn
ings. according to reports to the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
The railroad owned by Henry Ford.

had a steadily decreasing net earning
capacity last fall. according to the
published reports, and showed def
cit for December of about 1891 900,
has passed the peak of the decline
and is again on the upward path in
earnings. With a net operating rev.
,cnue of approximately $4,000 in Jan
uary, 1922, the net jumped to s131,o00
in round figures in February. accorI-
ing to the latest reports to the COM
mission. The March figures. which
are> not yet complete. will. it is be-
lieved, show an even greater net than
did February.
Seasonal increase in the net earn
ings of the Ford railroad experiment
is due. railroad men say. to the fact
that the peak of spring buying of mo-
tor cars is now on. The bulk of the
business of the Detroit, Toledo and
1ronton is made up of steel for motor
cars and manufactured cars and
parts.
The situation in regard to earnings
of the Ford-owned road can properly
be compared to railroads owned by
the large steel companies, railroad
men assert. which show large earning
capacity as compared with their val
uation. Steel corporations, notably
the United States Steel Corporation.
control several small lines and have
consistently shown large earning ca
pacity.
The Ford road showed net operat-
Ing revenue for the year 1921 of about
$4,000, brought down to this figure
by the deficit of S331.000 in Decem-
Der.
