Philadelphia, April 1. Despite the
fact that the volume of traffic and
the revenues and net earning in 1927
were not so large as in 1926, the
annual report of the Pennsylvania
railroad, issued tonight, stated that
the net income for the year showed
an increase of $592,337. The net in
come was I6S.160.296, being 13.6
per cent upon the capital stock, com
pared with 13,05 in 1926.
The net operating income for 1927
was $103,977,303, a decrase of $2.
455.545. The gross income was $147,
214.299. an increase of $891,506.
The report showed that the rail
way operating revenues decreased
$44,966,426. or 6.3 per cent. The
shrinkage in freight traffic, the re
port said, was acute during the lat
ter part of the year, particularly in
bulk freight, such as coal, coke, lum
ber, ore and steel. The coal traffic
was adversely affected by strikes
within the industry.

Rounds Up Party
"I am now rounding up my party,
but the right kind of men are hard
to get. The men must be of the right
temperament and sportsmanship and
not just strong men. There a lot
of strong men who cannot stand high
altitudes. Then again there are men
who are not affected by altitude but
are cowards when caught in a tight
place. It's not easy to find the right
combination."
