Half of Each S
Goes For Wages
Pennsylvania r. r. Shows How Its
Revenues are Expended - Leaves
5.56 Cents for Stockholders.

Out of every dollar of revenues re-
ceived by the Pennsylvania Railroad
System last year, 51.4 cents-more
than half-were Immediately paid out
in salaries and wages to the COM
pany's 100000 employees. This is
shown in a report just compiled set
ting forth how the Pennsylvania Rail
roads dollar" was spent in 1922.
Materials and supplies used in every
day railroad operating took 1907
cents out of every dollar earned. This
was the second largest slice. Coal for
the systems 7,547 locomotives took
7.20 cents. The consumption of these
materials and supplies gave employ
ment and business, and illustrates
how the railroads contribute to the
country's prosperity.
For the support of municipal, state,
and federal government, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad paid in taxes, in 1922,
total of 4.54 cents from every dol
lar Tax payments, which have been
increasing yearly have now reached
the point where they are approXi-
mately equal to the dividends re-
ceived by the stockholders, who are
owners of the property.
Loss and damage payments, depre-
citation on rolling stock and other
and miscellaneous rentals,
absorbed an additional GAL cents of
the railroads dollar"
After meeting operating expenses
and taxes, 772 cents were needed to
pay fixed charges which include the
interest on the funded debt.
Of the original dollar" 5.56 cents
finally remained to pay return to
The stockholders, and sustain the COM
pany's credit.
