Big End of Railroad Earnings in New England
The Worcester Spy analyzes railroad finances and labor share, arguing labor receives a sizable portion of earnings. It cites 1898 figures: 874,458 workers, 247,532 miles of track, 36,234 locomotives, 1,326,174 cars, $10.82 billion capitalization, $495,055,618 wages, $817,973,276 operating expenses, $43,828,224 taxes, $96,240,864 dividends, and $246,126,691 interest.
