Reasons for dividend cut on Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul Railway

Wall Street notes explain that the 5 to 4 percent common dividend was reduced due to the costs of acquiring and owning the Pacific coast line about 3045 miles long at 269 million dollars, plus 658 miles of second main line track costing 36 million, and motive power and rolling stock additions at 61.9 million. Mortgage bonds raised fixed charges by about 9.5 million annually and the letter argues operating costs and labor pressures also influenced the decision. Wall Street also anticipates strong earnings from United States Steel for the June quarter and notes a large gold shipment to Japan via the subtreasury. The Pittsburgh Salt Company of New Jersey sees its preferred and common stocks removed from the New York Stock Exchange.
