PUBLIC; UTILITY
BAR0NS Cash IN
North American Firm
Runs Scab Interests
By LELAND OLDs. (Fed. Press

By LELAND OLDS, (Fed. Press)
The net profit of S56,85S,213 made
by the North American Co. and its
subsidiaries in 1927 shows how the
superpower developments of recent
years are pouring wealth into the cof-
fers of the big public utility holding
companies. This profit was taken
out of gross income of 1922, 166,834,
only $65,308,621 of which was neces-
sary to cover operating expenses and
taxes. 1t represents a gain of 10
per cent over the profit of this com
bination in 1926 and of nearly so per
cent over the 1925 profit. 1t is 1876
per cent on the original par value
of the stock, after all deductions for
preferred, etc.
Additional Income.
The North American also had
$3,022,715 additional income in 1927,
presumably from securities in which
it had invested its surplus profits.
This brings the total income to $685.
880,928. Out of this it paid $17,775,-
812 interest on the bonds of it's sub
salaries, $1,401, 1916 in miscellaneous
interest and set aside $12,481 1913 fol
depreciation.
There remained $19,254,647 profit
for division among the stockholders
in the holding company itself. After
paying dividends on the North Ameri-
can Co. preferred stock this meant q
return of 1886 share to the owners
of the common stock. AS the com
mon stock originally had par value
of $40, this means a return of at
least 1856 per cent for the single year
1927. At this rate the owners g
back in profits every years more
than their entire investment in the
enterprise.
The North American Co. is follow
ing a definite policy of extending its
control of the public utility industry
by the reinvestment of profits. As q
part of this policy it pays its divi-
dends on common stock in new com
mon stock at the rate of 10 per cent
annually, the stakeholder having the
option of taking his dividend in cash
Controls Scab Concerns.
Important subsidiaries of the North
American Co. are the Cleveland Elec-
trio Illuminating Co; the Union
Electric Light & Power Co. of st
Louis; the Milwaukee Electric Rail
way & Light Co.; other Wisconsin
gas and electric companies; Missis
sippi and Missouri valley properties
serving towns in Iowa, Illinois anc

we're asked today by Merle N. A.
Walker, attorney for Glen Haven
Cemetery Association.
Walker, o. B. lies, association
president; Charles r. Bracket,
manager, and Henry L. Dithmer,
stockholder, appeared before the

approval of plans for the approach
to the burying ground.
Announcement that the Glen
Haven association planned a ceme-
terry on the 110-acre tract along
KesSler boulevard near the Broad
moor Country Club three years ago
drew storm of protest and I'M
friendly litigation from property
owners.
Hold Public Mistaken
''The public has a mistaken idea
about our program. We propose to
build q monumentless cemetery
which will have the appearance OF
a park, properly handicapped with
three-acre lake. Walker said.
Walker asked that the ordinance
prohibiting a cemetery within 1000
feet Of boulevard be modified TO
100 feet.

sonable regulation and suggest that

cIared.
Bracket conferred recently with

convince the mayor that the ceme-
terry project is legitimate.

FIVE BOYS TRAPPED IN
SEWER PIPE RESCUE
Lads Swimming Go Exploring; (;
Saved by Police.

BIZ United Press
WALTHANG, Mass, Nov. "A No
vember dip in the frigid waters of
the Charles river nearly cost five
boys their lives here late Thursday.
While swimming, the boys, all
state wards, decided to explore a
sewer pipe which enters the river
near the Elm street bridge. After
crawling 100 yards into the pipe,
which was about three feet in
diameter, they were unable to make
their way out again.
Half an hour later police were
notified that the boys had dis
appeared. Officers worked for more
than an hour to rescue the youths
from the tube.
