OPERATING NET
OF PENNSY UP
Revenue From Passenger
Traffic Rises for First
Time Since 1926.

The annual report of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Co. for 1884, made
public today, shows that operating
revenues increased $685., 1886, fea-
ture of which was an advance of
S4,810,336 in revenue from paSSen-
ger service, the first increase re-
corded in passenger revenues over
the preceding year since 1925.
Operating expenses advanced
$22,017,76l, which included increased
expenditures of more than 100000
for the maintenance of tracks,
bridges and other structures, and
cars and locomotives. Also included
we're charges of approximately
$2,8O0,0O0 for employees pensions
from Aug. to the end of the year,
required by the provisions of the
Railroad Retirement Act.
An increase of $9,586,514 in trans
portation expenses during the year,
representing the actual costs OF
moving the traffic, reflected, in COM
mon with the other increased items
of expense, the restoration to en-
ployes on July 1, 1884, of 219 per cent
of the 10 per cent deduction from
wages which had been IN effect since
Feb. /, 1882. A further 212 per cent
was restored on Jan. of this year
and the remaining per cent will be
added to the pay rolls on April at
which time the full 1929 levels of
wages will have been fully restored.
After deducting expenses, taxes,
interest payments, rent for leased
roads and miscellaneous charges,
there remained net income for
the year of $18,815, 694, a decrease
of $465, ats from 1888.
The net income represented a re-
turn of 286 per cent on capital
stock, compared with 293 per cent
i'll 1888, and 206 per cent in the
previous year. The net income per
share was SLAB compared with $1.46
in 1888.

Wisconsin is the only state in
which an unemployment insurance
law has been enacted. 1t went into
effect on July /, 1884, and covers
workers in establishments employ
ing ten or more persons whose wage
IS not more than $500 year. All
that is needed to qualify for benefit
payments is that the worker has
been employed for two weeks. but
the benefit Is limited to one weekly
benefit for each four weeks of en-
ployment and not more than ten
weeks Of benefit as a maximum.
The fund Is contributed by en-
ployers only. Workers pay nothing.
Employers pay ? per cent of pay
roll plus twO-tenths Of l per cent
for administration until a fund OF
SIS a worker has been established;
thereafter l per cent until the fund
for that one corporation or concern
amounts to SIS a worker. Funds are
segregated under the names of the
contributors, though all the funds
are administered by the State In
dustrial Commission. This means
that a worker on the benefit regis
ter must depend on the fund con-
tributed by his employer. When
ever that is exhausted he receives
no more benefits.

Benefits $40 Weekly

The waiting period is two weeks.
Benefits are $40 a week or so per
cent of average weekly wage, which
ever is lower. No benefit is paid out
of an employers fund if the worker
has not been employed by him dur
ing the last six months. If an in
sured worker quits his job volun-
tarily he is not entitled to unem-
plOyment benefits. No payment is
made to a man discharged for mis-
conduct"
Companies which guarantee AZ
weeks employment in a year to
their workers are exempted from
payments as are concerns which
have a plan of their own that is ap-
proved by the State Industrial Com
mission.
The Wisconsin plan contains
many serious defects. Whatever pro-
lection it gives may be lost to the
worker by any one of a number of
arbitrary rulings. If he is discharged
for misconduct" he gets no bene-
fits. Almost any minor breach of
factory rules may be twisted by a
tyrannical manager into a case of
misconduct. 1t would be possible for
an INSCRIPTIONS employer TO keep
his reserve fund completely intact
by declaring that every man he lays
off has miSconducted himself.

RAIL CONTROL
AWAITS RULE
ON CREDITORS
Domination of Missouri
Pacific Depends on
Court Case.
BIZ Times SpeciaI

By Times Special
NEW YORK, March 26.-Whether
j. P. Morgan & Co. or the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation will
have a dominating voice in the re-
organization of the bankrupt Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad Corp, depends
or. a decision to be handed down
next month by Marion G. Early,
special master for the Federal Court
at st. Louis, it was stated today.
The government agency, in con-
junction with the Railroad Credit
Corp, is seeking to have a reclas-
siflcation made of creditors of the
Missouri Pacific on the ground that
the present classification allows the
banking house to veto any plan OF
reorganization not acceptable to it.
Although the RFC now has the
same right, a victory in this case
would result in Jumping of its
claims with those of Morgan and
the Railroad Credit Corp. and az
low it to have the dominating hand
with respect to reorganization.
j. P. Morgan g. Co. is now sit
ting on the side of three different
types OF creditors in the Missouri
Pacific bankruptcy proceedings. In
the first place it participates indi-
rectly as a creditor through a loan
of S48,000,0OO made to Allegheny
Corps by a banking syndicate Of
which it is the head.
Morgan Holds Notes
This loan is secured by COM
mon stock of the Van Sweringen
holding company, and this stock in
turn has an interest in so per cent
of the common stock of Missouri Pa
cific. The value of the stock Sc
curing the Morgan loan, therefore,
depends largely on the treatment
accorded Missouri Pacific stock in
the reorganization of the railroad.
In the second place, the bank
ing house participates as a cred
itor in the reorganization by vir-
tue of the fact that it has placed
partners. Parker Gilbert-on the
protective committee" represent
ing the interests of holders of Mis-
souri, Pacific first and refunding
bonds. DR.. Charles A. Beard,
chairman of an independent bond.
holders committee, has opposed this
representation on the basis that
Morgan can not represent both
stockholders and bondholders.
The third participation Of the
firm as a creditor is by reason of
its being owed $5,850,000 in secured
notes by the Missouri Pacific. The
RFC is owed $23,547,000 in secured
notes and the Railroad Credit Corp.
$3,50O000.
In accordance with the terms of
the bankruptcy act, two-thirds of
each class of creditors must approve

few Of the nuggets Of knowledge
the bankers and brokers and bust
ness men had hoped they would

about to impart some choice NOR
sci Of inside dope he would
spread out into generalitieS. The
speaker appeared 10 be afraid he
might step on somebody's toes in
the Administration if he became
explicit.
Gentlemen" he said. L am

state to which courage and conf

present convincing evidence as to
why they should act otherwise. He
urged them to take the initiative
in business. but offered no asSur-
ances that some legislative action
might not be taken which would
cause them TO suffer severe loss.
Mr. Kennedy is recognized in
Wall Street as a capable executive
and a convincing speaker. But he
had no message Of encouragement
for those who had gathered to pay
him their respects. He was more
critical than encouraging. Il must

ing some very decided and definite
reasons to back it up. This led
some Of his listeners to feel that
he may have received suggestions
from other important quarters as
10 what he should say.
But he did strike a responsive
chord when he referred to the fact
that two important corporations
already have decided to offer Sc
Curities under the new rules and
regulations. and that he expected
this lead TO be followed by others.
II is known that several refunding
deals are in the works." and Mr..
Kennedy is given credit for help

Provision Is Criticised

Then there is the provision that
companies which guarantee their
employees AZ weeks of work in a
year are not required to set up a
fund, the employment guarantee
taking the place of insurance. The
question arises: To whom is the
guarantee made? 1t is made to the
individual worker and is in essence
a labor contract. Through this clause
any business enterprise where en-
ployment is relatively stable may
escape the insurance tax alto
gether.
Another undesirable feature is
that the worker contributed moth
ing. This turns to small benefits,
such as they are, into gift with
string attached to it. The only
feasible plans OF unemployment in
surance are those in which the I'M
employed worker has a property
right in the benefits.
The segregation of reserves by
companies as embodied in the Wis
consin law is a fundamental defect.
1t is not in harmony with the prin-
ciple of mutual assistance. Unem-
ployment insurance is primarily a
social service and it is only indirect
" a protective relation between any
one employer and any one man.

Not Mholly IncOrporated

This principle, which should be
the basis for any form of unem-
ployment insurance, has not been
wholly incorporated in any plans
either for state or Federal systems
so far submitted. Among these
should be mentioned those drafted
by the Ohio Commission, the Ameri-
can Association for Social Security.
the Industrial Relations Committee
headed by walter c. Teagle and the
Wagner-Lewis bill, which is now be-
fore Congress.
The Wagner-Lewis bill as first
submitted proposed to levy a Fed
eral excise tax of per cent on
employers pay rolls throughout the
United states, this tax to go into
the Federal treasury. IN the latest
revision of the bill the tax is re-
duced TO per cent. Employers in
States which approved systems of
unemployment insurance would be
entitled to a rebate on the tax equal
TO their contributions 10 the state
system: an obvious purpose of the
bill is to encourage state action.
The bill says nothing about con-
tributions from the worker. This is
decidedly an Objectionable feature.
The insured worker ought to be SUI
ficiently interested in his own well
fare to contribute a part. All Euro
pean systems require worker con-
tributions.

al. Is it proper to use paper napkins

A. In a formally appointed house
paper napkins are never proper. But
since comparatively few houses of to-
day belong in this category paper nap
kins are not only decorative on many
occasions. such as Halloween and
Valentine parties. as well as AL sorts
of children's parties-and, Of course, at

vice versa"
A. No; not unless it is weIl known
that they lead separate lives. but live
under the same roof for the sake Of
the children. But hostess may very
well ask either q husband or a wife
(if both are very intimate friends) to

-. When salad is served with meat,
what kind is usually chosen?"
A. Salad should never be served with
any meat except fowl and game. II
there has been no other meat and
