1943 deficit will amount to $39,800,000,000. even if the

The public debt on June 30

The House unanimously voted the requested in¬

statistics of railroad opera¬

1940, a gain of $1,053,407,864, or 24.56%.
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,

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

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

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.

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.

Group Life Insurance, the basic coverage, affording
protection against death from any cause, reached an alltime peak of $45,023,700. More than 90% of the eligible
employees were insured under this plan, which means
that in the event of their death, their families will re¬
ceive, on the average, one year's wages, thus affording
them the time to make such adjustments as may be
necessary as a result of the loss of the wage earner.

by the United States

In the larger cities, principally New York and Chicago,
neither sales nor profits were satisfactory.
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. This was due principally to the tremendous re¬
duction in home delivery and in spite of a considerable'

Cigarettes, which account

during the past year by various factors including primarily the dis¬
advantageous tax position of economy price cigarettes as compared
with standard price cigarettes and by the rapidly increasing industrial
prosperity which has caused a marked shift in buying habits from the
lower to higher priced products.
During 1941 a majority of the claiss "B" common stock was acquired

As a consequence, an intensive program has
been inaugurated to lay the foundations for reversing the downward

1941 was $34,457,796

The net in¬

for the year 1941
was equivalent to $9.35 per share on
the
2,984,994 shares of common stock outstanding in the hands of the
public at the end of the year, after deducting an amount equal to
the dividends for the year on the outstanding 1%
cumulative pre¬
ferred/stock.
The net billed value of products shipped and of other classes of
business done by corporation
during the year 1941 is $961,240,737

compared
with
$1,519,300,000 during the year 1940.
The estimated net billing value of the

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

12,700,000 net tons per annum, an increase
during 1941 of 850,000 net tons, which resulted in part from the con¬
struction of five open hearth furnaces" and in
part reflected actual
capacities of
existing furnaces demonstrated for the first time
in
1941.
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.
The court, however, decided that the individual de¬
fendants in the prior actions above referred to should have made a
part of the payments which were made by the corporation in 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¬

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.

last week the balance of 1941 earnings under the plan amounting to
about $3,022,000 was paid to some 82,000 eligible employees.
For those
with five or more years of service, this payment will be equivalent to
3.84% of regular earnings for the last six months of 1941.
The cor¬
responding payment for the last half of 1940 amounted to about
$2,400,000 and was made to 65,000 employees.
ft was announced that General Electric was one of the first com¬
panies to adopt for its employees a payroll deduction plan for the
purchase of U. S. savings bonds, and as of Feb. 1, 1942, approximately
106,000 employees, or 86% of the number on the payroll, had purchased
or authorized payroll deductions for the purchase,
at an annual rate,
of U. £3. saving bonds with a maturity value of nearly $23,600,000.

a special message to General Motors dealers on March
7, Alfred
Sloan, Jr., Chairman, pledged that General Motors Corp. will do
everything possible to assist dealers to maintain the strength and
soundness of their operations during and after the war.
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

of the Utilities
Corp., is pledged to divest itself of
utilities interests and become an
investment company "as speedily'
as
reasonable diligence, and prudent business judgment, will permit."
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. Ogden
will serve the public interest by tending toward the economical and
efficient development of an integrated public utility system."

Judge- Welsh's opinion- favorable to the corporation necessitates a

in the matter of fundamental issues involved in the case; and the
board has given earnest consideration of the course to be pursued m
the interest of the whole body of its stockholders.
It should be borne

the results of such an appeal cannot be foretold.
Counsel for the

incidental to the conduct on the part of the appellee of the appeal
proceedings; and (2) of all costs and expenses paid andsincurred by
plaintiffs in the trial of the case from its inception to date.
In, view, of the Court's "decision the board feels justified in
