Cunard To Pass Dividend Amid Shipping Depression
The Cunard Steamship Company reports a profit of 1.475 million dollars but cannot pay a dividend due to depreciation in ships and properties. The 1908 third class arrivals collapsed in the United States from 1,116,000 to 335,000, prompting use of reserves. The government liability was met with a 650,000 dollar redemption fund payment, and a tentative Mediterranean third class traffic agreement aims to restore profits.
