Class l Carriers.
Total .ss,494,36s,242


The huge profits of 1923 were
made in spite of an unfavorable turn
at the end Of the year due to the
minor business depression which be-
gan in June. Net earnings at &c.,
580,967 in December were nearly
100000 below those of year ago.
The gross revenues for December
showed decline of $19,212,804 as
compared with the carriers receipts
during December, 1922. The Com
mercial and Financial Chronicle con-
siders this decline in gross as a clear
indication of the extent to which
business fell off during the last half
of the year. 1t forecasts still further
contraction of railroad revenues dur
ing the coming months.
Pennsy Made S45,OO0,OOo.
Railroads which have made big
profits during the year include the
Pennsylvania with $45,000,00O, the

the Illinois Central with $15, 4S5 900,
the Burlington with $2O,375,0O0, and
the Southern with $15,000,000. These

RAILROADS COUCE
U. S. PUBLIC FOR
BILLION IN 1924
Biggest Profits Since
1916 Banner Year
By LELAND OLDS


(StaR Correspondent Of the Federated Press)
Railroad profits for the year 1928
amounted to approximately $1,000
100000. The total figure given out
for Class / carriers by the bureau
of railway economies is $977 ,543, 500.
This represents a return of $40 per
cent on a valuation Of $4,000, 900, 900
which exceeds by several billion dol
lars the actual money invested by
the owners.
Such profits mean that stockhold-
ers of 16 railroads operating 40 per
cent of the mileage in the United
States will get more than $40 profits
on each 500 share Of stock. While
profits of more than per cent will
remain for stockholders operating
over So per cent of the total Class /
mileage of the country.
The profits of 1928 have been ex-
ceeded only once in the history Of
American railroads. That was in 1916
when the owners squeezed out ST.
040,084,517 by holding down wages
and neglecting upkeep. The break
down Of private management directly
attributable to deterioration of road
bed and equipment which resulted
made it necessary for the govern
ment to take over the roads in 1918.

This years profits bring the total
for the last decade to approximately
eight and a half billion dollars as
