EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Railroad Buying as Guide I.
PrOsuerity


Class ! railroads in the United
States by reason Of the $5, ,00O. 900 900
which they spend annually for wages,
supplies and materials are one Of the
industry's best customers. If the
roads curt down on those expenditures
as they did last year, industry suffers.
In 1924 the class l roads spent
S736. 400 900 less than they did in 1923,
OF $4,S47 100 600, which is 13 per cent
less than the 1888, 100, 900 reported
In 1928. According to the Bureau of
Railway Economics, in 1924 S2,629,-
902,0 was spent for wages, 81, ,343.
055.000 for materials and fuel and
1854, I43 900 went for new equipment
and improvements. which could be
c1assed capital expenditures. This
gives the above total of s4.s47, 700 900.
1t does not take into considera ton
$310 900 900 in dividends, $50, 900 900
In interest and S340, 900 900 in taxes
Incidentally, taxes amounted to $929,-
600 a day, as compared with 1903 900
daily in 1928, and totaled more than
dividends
The volume of freight traffic moved
last year was only per cent less
than in the previous year. yet pur-
chases of the three main items, fuel,
steel products and forest products
were concerned.
For instance. $471 ,656 900 was spent
on fuel, which is "a per cent less than
the 1928 fuel bill. Bituminous coal
makes up the bulk of the fuel ex-
penditure, and the 1913 900 spent
there was % per cent less than the
corresponding hgure for the previous
year. The roads bought 126,372 900
net tons of soft coal, or 1S per cent
less than in the year before. The
Importance OF the railroad soft coal
bill is vfsualized when it IS realized
that 26 per cent Of the total United
States production of bituminous coal
went to the roads last year.
The roads have an important In
huence on steel production. too. In
cluding direct and indirect purchases
for equipment etc, about 26 per cent
of the steel produced finds its way to
the railroad expense account. Both
volume and dollar purchases of iron
and steel fell off 81 per cent last year,
and the final figure showed an ex-
psuftttuyssef $266. .6lnp0Q-
