Industrial Fire Loss
Expected 10 Decline

CHICAGO, Jan. "A reduction
in industrial fire losses in the
United States in 1852 is indicated
according to an insurance safety
expert. Fire losses in the United
States for 1851 were approximate
ly s per cent ahead of 1850, Mel
son M. Knowlton, president OF
the Federation of Mutual Fire
Insurance Companies, stated
However, progress is being made
in reducing the loss of actual or
physical property, Mr.. Knowlton
stated, pointing out that the in
|creases represent larger the higher
dollar value of property.
Physical property is what
burns, not dollars" Mr.. Knowlton
said, land for several years past
the actual trend of real property
fire loss has been downward when
the changing value of the dollar
is taken in consideration. Mr..
Knowlton advanced this idea be-
fore a meeting of the Mutual
Insurance 200th Anniversary Com
mittee recently and urged it study
methods of presenting a more
understandable picture of actual
fire prevention results to the
public.

Bell System Expands
To Aid Defense Needs
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-National
defense continues to be the first
order of business for the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
President Cleo F. Craig said today.
The Nations telephone network
was strengthened in 1851 to meet
growing defense and civilian needs,
Mr.. Craig said in a statement re-
viewing the company's progress
during the telephones 18th ami
versary year.
High lights of the Bell System
construction program during the
year included opening of a seventh
coast-to-coast "voice highway"
over which telephone calls and
Itelevision signals are relayed by
radio beam; the start on a trial
basis in Englewood, N. j., Of Gus
toner dialing of long distance
calls, and the addition of 2,100, 900
telephones.
Bell telephones in use rose to
37.5 million, more than double the
number in service 10 years ago.
And the Bell companies have
lon their books almost 100000
Iorders for new service and 1,800,-
900 orders from party-line custo-
mers for a change of service,
Craig reported.
The company made financial
history in. May when the number
of stockholders reached the l.
million mark, the first time that
any company has achieved such
broad ownership.
Mr.. Craig stressed the need for
adequate rates and sufficient sup
ply of raw materials in 1852.
ITO do their big job well, the
telephone companies must keep
themselves financially strong" he
said. This means that the
charges for telephone service must
be adequate and whenever they
are not sufficient, they need to be
made SO.
This essential industry must be
able, in the months ahead, to OBJ
tain the raw materials it needs.
Every effort is already being made
to conserve critical materials and
to employ substitutes wherever
practicable"

Railroads Net Drops
Despite Increase in
Business During 81
By 7. Z. AppIesote
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. "A pick
up in business on the railroad.
in 1851 failed to stem a decline
in net income.
Passenger service was up 8 pei
cent over 1850, its first increase
since World War II; freight haul.
ing climbed more than 9 per cent
To prepare to meet even heavier
demands of our expanding de.
Tense economy, the railroads

and equipment during the year.
They added 10000 new freight
cars and around $500 new loco.

Operated Under Army.
All this was accomplished while
the carriers operated technically
under Army supervision. The
Government seized the railroads
in late August. 1850. to avert q
strike over labor disputes that
still are not settled.
Freight rates went up slightly
in April, 1851. and again in Sep
tember. helping boost total reve-
nues by nearly 81 billion.
But taxes and expenses sky
rocketed even faster.
At the years end the Associa-
tion OF American Railroads esti-
mated total net income at 1925:
million against $717.2 million II
1850.
Pending before the Interstate
Commerce Commission was the
carriers request for the full Is per
cent freight rate boost they asked
originally in March. Approval OF
this would put the rates an aver
age Of 7.2 per cent above present
levels.
Net Return Estimated.
Net operating income for the
year represented a return esti-
mated at 3.54 per cent on the
$25.5 billion invested in the rail-
road industry.
II the ICC grants the requested
rate schedule, AAR statisticians
figure, this return will rise to
4.42 per cent in 1852.
In net income after all charges,
they estimate it would mean an
additional $3.50 million; the Fed
eral Government would collect
more than an added $500 million
IN income taxes from the carriers
These 1852 forecasts do not in
clude the effect of Accent hourly
wage increase for LIPS, 900 rail-
road workers effective in January
as the result of a squirt in the

increase rail payrolls by $120 mil

$40 Rise in Newsprint Price
Sent 1t to New 3O-Yeor Hioh

pend solely because Of the lack
of newsprint.
Industry observers explain 1t
this way: Many publishers are
not getting all the newsprint they
could use Or want. But all are
getting enough to keep going with
economies here and there.
Estimates of the Newsprint
Association of Canada - United
States publishers get about 80 per
cent of their needs from the Do
minion-shoW a world shortage
continuing. Many countries out
side North America are actually
in dire straits.
The newsprint makers figure
the world shortage in 1850 was
415,000 tons. For 1851 they esti-
mate it at about 307 900 tons and
the coming year 276,000.
