In 1926 net income totalled $8,015,939, equivalent to $20.88 per share on 385,000 shares of preferred stock and $7.45 per ehare on 770,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The board of directors frankly in- formed stockholders that continued depression in the railroad equip- ment industry had been especially acute during 1927 and that drastic curtailment of expenses in both a@- ministrative and operating depart- ments had been made. Economies thius effected, in conjunction with the more stable earnings of the Railroad Steel-Spring company, and i me from securities the company owns, the directors said, were re- in the net profite for the It was explained that although the quipment business formerly paral- 1 the trend of general business, increased efficiency of railroad oper- ations through movement of heavier train loads on faster schedules and v longer locomotive runs has dis- rhed the coincidence. Loss by rail- of short-haul business, trans- terred to wotor cars and motor trucks, also has released a number of locomotives for other uses. The directors expressed the belief, however, that when the general business growth of the country has caught up with present railroad nipment capacities, more locomo- tives will be needed. Additional busi- ss was foreseen in the necessity, in ~vent of an abrupt increase in gen- | cral business, for replacing a larger percentage of obsolete or inefficient motfve power units.

Before the reading of the indiet- ment the defense, supported by the prosecutor, urged the exclusion of the public as it was expeoted that the testimony would be likely to “jeopardize the safety of the state” and would be detriental to German industries. The court thereupon de- cided to conduct the trial in camera. An extensive legal apparatus was mobilized for the trial including 13 experts and 31 witnesses.
