In the single state of New Jersey there are 16,000 fewer
rmidents in railroad employ than there were four years ago,
.and railroads payrolls to residents of the state have been re-
doc* d $27,000,000 annually. It must be remembered that the
earnings of railroads cannot be compared to those of other
bwsinessrs, inasmuch as during years of prosperity stringent
regulation prevents them from making even as much as six
per cent on their investment.
We are all interested in the railroads, whether we know
it or not They occupy a position of the first importance in
Uh* industrial schem* and their prosperity is directly related |
to th*1 prosperity, or lack of it, of banks, insurance companies |.
