Railroads face earnings gap despite record 1947 traffic
Clifford A. Somerville tells Lions and Rotary clubs that railroads, despite peacetime volume, cannot fund better service because wages and taxes outpace revenue. He cites wage gains of about 75 percent since 1939, payroll taxes near 8.5 percent, and material costs up 90 percent, with limited rate relief until mid-1946 and 1947 gains only 3 1 3 percent. He argues six to six and a half percent return is needed and calls for equal taxation and removal of subsidies for rival transport modes.
