USING RAILROAD DOLLARS
President Gray Tells Where the Var

What becomes Of the railroad dollar

cents goes for wages and salaries,
9 cents for fuel 2s cents for other
operating expenses, 51z cents for tax
es, n cents for hire of equipment and
joint facity rents, u cents for interest
on bonds and other fixed charges and
IL cents for stockholders.
In five years between 1917 and 1922
the gross earnings Of the railroad in
creased. according to the statement,

amount and more too was paid out

cost Of materials and supplies, s1S5,
0OO,OoO in added cost of fuel and s122,-
100000 additional for taxes, leaving
none Of the increase for the stock and

THE Union Pacific System" says
Mr. Gray. lis one of the most impor-
tant enterprises west of the Missouri
river. It's nearly $4,000 employees, and
their families, constitute a buying
power which is the main reliance of
many businesses. The purchases which
of the Union Pacific System from firms
located on the System or which have
offices on our lines. aggregate mil
lions of dollars each month"
The statement quotes Secretary
Hoover's recent announcement that
"one great contribution to the busi-
ness stability of the past year has
been the fact that we have had a free
and orderly movement of transporta-
ton"
The railways are planning to spend
hundreds Of millions of new money
during 1924 to better serve the public,
says Mr.. Gray.
