Operating ex¬ penses naturally were up as well, but they increased in a much smaller ratio, since every effort was made by the railroad managers to maintain the highest efficiency. Accordingly, net earnings increased to $1,682,327,593 in 1941 from $1,207,437,133 in 1940, a gain of $474,890,460, or 39.33%.

This Board rec¬ ommended temporary wage increases, at first, based European members of the Axis carried the United States into the world struggle as an active upon participant, with all that such participation implies. What it implies specifically for the railroads is, road labor leaders were not content with such sensible of are that it will be handled expeditiously. Joseph B. Eastman, Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission, was named by President Roosevelt to coordinate i transportation facilities for war requirements, and the long experience of this able administrator is sure to prove valuable. One of the first actions by Mr. East¬ man was to assure the railroads that Government opera- all , i tion, as in the first World War, will not attempted higher living costs, and urged wage adjustments on the basis of living cost indices. The rail¬ thereafter suggestions, and strike was set for Dec. 7, 1941, At Board hastily was Board, and a strike was averted by the triumphant announcement on Dec. 1 that a basic and permanent rise of 10 cents an hour for nonoperating employes and 9V2 cents an hour for operating employes had been decided upon. This meant an in¬ creased wage burden to the carriers of between $300,000,000 and $325,000,000, annually. Fortunately, the Presidential Board was not unaware of the implications of this action. A suggestion also was made that the added rail labor costs be passed* on the last a moment converted into a the Fact-Finding Mediation . into semi-annual periods instructive, for it shows the full effect of the as they developed in the course of last measures 1941, lend-lease aid to the getting under way, while vast progress with this program was evident in the latter half of the year. ; This tended to increase the rail traffic progressively, and absolutely unprecedented war orders by the United States Government on its own account made the wheels of war industries spin additionally in the closing months of last year. Weather conditions, which often affect railroad earn¬ ings and operations to a considerable degree, were rather generally favorable during 1941. In this respect the year was even better than 1940, when floods were re¬ ported here and there. The agricultural crop was ex¬ tensive, especially in some of the Western areas which previously had gained the sobriquet of the "dust-bowl." Government planning in agriculture continued, and probably offset some of the benefits of large crops. Strikes played an important part in the affairs of the country last year and therefore, affected railroad opera¬ year.

It may be added that as the country settled into the war, rail¬ road equipment buying was limited chiefly by prob-j lems of priorities and deliveries. //;/ Comparison of the railroad ^earnings statistics on; a month-by-month basis for the years 1841 and 1940 re¬ flects that general and generous improvement to which we have already alluded. The,vast traffic carried by the railroads made the upward curve of gross earnings an impressive one. Net earnings gains were somewhat curtailed toward the end of 1941, on a comparative basis* owing to the need for meeting the increased wage charges decreed by the Presidential Board. Seasonal expectations of the carriers were almost entirely set was the overshadowing war requirements.In the following tables we furnish comparisons of the monthly totals for 1941 and 1940. aside by i/ZZ Gross Earnings % " ' V':' 376,628.399 January^.

Gradually, the system of home delivery is becoming more and more expensive, due primarily to constantly increasing labor cost. This is causing customers to buy milk at stores where prices are lower, resulting largely from the lower delivery costs to the wholesale trade. Unless costs in home delivery can be kept down they may reach a point where continuance will be difficult. V.". The fact that lack of profits means disappearance of capital is demonstrated in Chicago where in 1931 our investment (exclusive of good-will) employed in the Fluid Milk Division was $13,010,700. Today that invest¬ ment has shrunk to $6,170,900.Our Chicago Division sold 127,064,500 quarts of fluid milk in 1931, but its sales were reduced to 83,299,300 quarts in 1941. The value of these fluid milk sales in 1931 was $16,946,100 and in 1941 it was $9,035,600. V Paralleling this shrinkage in investment and sales is the decrease in the average number of employees in the Chicago Fluid Milk Division from 3,489 in 1931 to 1,545 in 1941.

The net billed value of products shipped and of other classes of business done by corporation during the year 1941 is $961,240,737 as compared with $602,202,618 during the preceding year.^,./'///, The estimated net amount of business booked during the year by corporation aggregeated $1,084,600,000 as compared with $1,519,300,000 during the year 1940. The estimated net billing value of the unfilled orders on hand Dec. 31, 1941, amounted to $1,327,500,000 as compared with $1,204,100,000 on Dec/ 31, 1940. Such estimated net billing value of unfilled orders on hand Dec, 31, 1941, includes $991,100,000 as the unbilled amounts on contracts for ship construction and ship repairs. Since shortly after the beginning of the war In Europe the prices paid for certain raw materials and supplies have been substantially above the level of those prevailing prior to the war, which caused the inventory value at Dec. 31, 1941, of such raw materials and supplies and certain manufactured products to be higher than their estimated normal cost. In order to provide for a possible decrease in the market prices of similar raw materials and supplies and con¬ sequently a decrease in the replacement cost of manufactured prod¬ ucts, reserve of $13,200,000 (including an aggregate of $9,Q70;000 which was set up in 1939 and 1940), equal to estimated amount of the excess of the inventory value of such materials, supplies and products at -the end Of the year over their estimated normal cost, has been set up out of income and deducted from the total inventory value. Additions to the properties of corporation and increases in the volume and the scope of its activities and the entrance of this country compared with V ■ the )var into believing have, of course, increased the risk of losses. Directors, additional provision should be made for such losses that and for other contingencies, has approved an increase in the insurance reserve from $6,000,000 at the end of 1940 to $9,500,000 as of Dec. at the added end The net increase in the contingent reserve from $3,567,249 a of to 1940 $7,535,881 to were reserves of Dec. as deducted from 31. 1941. income. : The amounts z National Defense Program for iron-and steel products, ordnance and ships and for facilities for ship repairs have naturally increased very substantially during the year and. the participation of corporation in work for such program has likewise increased. Such program has required the making of major addi¬ tions and improvements at both the steel plants and the shipyards of corporation, which have already resulted In substantially increas¬ ing the production by corporation of materials1 and ships essential to the war effort of the country. Such production- will be further increased in the future with the completion of other additions and improvements. In view of the importance of avoiding a disclosure of information which might be used against the country, directors believe that this report should not set forth any details as to the extent of the participation of the corporation in the National Defense Program or such information as has been included in previous annual reports of the corporation as to the nature of the additions and improvements which were made, in 1941 and are to be made to requirements properties of The of cash the of the the. corporation.

The rated capacity for the production of coke was increased to 7,560,000 net tons per annum and 'for the production of pig iron to 8,544,000 net tons per annum, effective in both cases Jan. 1, 1942. The monthly average number of employees of the corporation in the United States receiving pay in .1941 was 165,678 as compared with 118,439 in 1940. The number of such employees receiving pay in December, 1941, was 192,886. The average earnings per hour of such employees in 1941 was $1.07 as compared with 94.1 cents in 1940. Such employees worked an average of 39.5 hours per week in 1941 as compared with 36.6 hours per week in 1940. On Feb. 16, 1942, the U. S. Supreme Court affirmed the decisions made on June 18, 1940, by the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in the litigation between Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp., Ltd., and U. S. Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corp. Those decisions affirmed the judgment entered on Dec. 27, 1938, in the U. S. District Court at Philadelphia in favor of Bethlehem Ship¬ building Corp., Ltd., for $5,272,075 together with costs, but without interest, and also affirmed the decree entered by the same court on the same day dismissing the suit of the United States in equity to recover alleged overpayments on some of the same contracts. In December, 1941, in a consolidated action brought by certain stockholders of the corporation on its behalf against its President and others, attacking the bonus system of the corporation as it was in effect prior to July 1, 1931, and its administration, and also challenging the propriety of the settlements made prior to Feb. 26, 1936, of similar actions that had previously been commenced or threatened against certain directors and officers of the corporation, the New York Supreme Court entered a judgment in favor of the corporation in the aggregate amount of $876,779, with interest aggre¬ gating $229,042. The court found and decreed, among other things, that the directors and officers had acted in good faith in all matters complained of in the action, and that the payments of compensation to the executives and heads of departments of the corporation that were complained of in the action were reasonable and in accordance with the contracts of employment of such executives and heads of departments.

Since that time, con¬ siderable though has been given to the matter of reorganizing the company upon a sound and equitable basis. Company has two classes of stock outstanding, i.e., preferred stock, $621,250 (par value) and common stock, $241,500 (par value) (exclusive of treasury shares). By law, the preferred stock comes ahead of the common stock in any plan '"Of reorganization" in these proceedings, or in the event of liquidation. Plan of reorganization was proposed by certain holders of the com¬ mon shares, after extended negotiations with the holders of a majority of the preferred shares. This plan in addition to court approval, has the approval of a majority of the outstanding preferred shares and certain holders of - the outstanding common shares.

A series of steps are being taken by the corporation to relieve the difficult situa¬ tion caused by the discontinuance of passenger car and truck production and the turning of the corporation's manufacturing facilities completely over to the war effort. Mr. Sloan said: "It is intended that those dealers who have accepted • their responsibility of maintaining active service facilities for the duration, involving at the best a reduction of profits, or perhaps the acceptance of losses, shall be provided with an opportunity to regain their position after. the war as compared with other dealers who might at that time be newly appointed. "For is resumed, from the cars available for domestic distribution, General Motors will extend priority, in car shipments to dealers whose active service has been continuous during the period of suspended production, before making any cars available for new dealers. This will be on the following basis: After setting aside a reserve of 15% of the resumed production available, to satisfy changed conditions of demand, such dealers may purchase from their division the same annual percentage of the •resumed production as they did during the model year 1941, plus a bonus of 40% of such percentage, subject to the availability of cars." In the matter of reappointment of dealers, Mr. Sloan said it would be the had to a Mr. of two years after production policy been the period to accord first consideration to those whose terminated under conditions which were mutually dealer Sloan and the for the to the Domestic and Subsidiary Companies 1 Foreign Calendar Years— 1941 ' 194Q $ "Net Cost sales goods sold— Depreciation provided . —232,092,070 152,200,919 — 10,474,247 41,155,291 Operating profits Total r Interest on _ — 1 funded and miscellaneous Dividends not and equity in undist. wholly owned.——, — debt earns, of 1,571,353 subs. income taxes .Foreign taxes Provision Net $5 for convertible . 590,802 46,189,062 18,282,803 2,363,914 4,609,101 7,480,698 contingencies. 7,000,000 preferred stock dividends dividends 1,000,000 12,831,397 profits Common 1,653,692 . 652,725 . — States 1,087,607 20,527,297 f 18,876,967 : Profits United 19,439,690 1,535,074 48,413,140 — profits 10,089,303 35,810,167 46,878,066 w.,: Selling, administrative and'general expense Other income $ 330,599,674 217,540,079 —_ of agreeable 10,309,788 3,190,653 3.228.160 —2,826,899 2,569,534 6,813,845 — Surplus Shares refurn division^ of new 1942 model passenger cars, accessories and renair parts in cases in which the dealer may elect to do so to balance his inventories, provisions . 4,512,094 contracts division. announced 1942—2 Mos.—1941 • $6,771,033 $17,399,650 $13,426,023 637. l Including P.

While acquisition of the Laclede bonds and notes would seem "a step in the opposite direction of that goal," the SEC Findings and Opinion said the purpose of the bonds and notes purchases by Ogden 'facili- ■ tates the Laclede reorganization and "will .make possible the dis¬ position by Ogden of its entire investment therein, as well as, at the same time, the placing of gas company (Laclede) in a financial, condition more conducive to the economical and efficient development of the public utility system operated by the latter company. For these reasons,, and in vjew of the factual situation here presented, we find no occasion for adverse findings and find that as required by Section 10 (ci (2) the acquisition of such securities by.
