dollar and where it goes,” declaring
that the six billion dollars the railroads
received in 1923, and a lesser sum in
1924, “hesitated in the treasuries of the
carriers bat’d!v long enough to be
counted before they hurried out agaiD
to help turn the wheels of industry.”
The railroads, he said, consume 30
per cent of the entire output of steel,
pay nearly 48 per bent of the total op
erating revenues to employes, use 28
per cent of all the soft coal mined and
25 per cent of the lumber output. In
1923 more than three billion dollars
was disbursed in semi monthly install
ments on payroll accounts, and approx
imately $455,000,000 for locomotive fuel.
Other annual expenditures of the
railroads were $100,000 for fuses and
torpedoes, $2,000,000 for dining car
linen and china, $300,000 for signal
flags, $19,000,000 for paper, pens, ink,
other stationery materials and print
ing, and other miscellaneous materials,
costing a grand total of approximately
$1,950,000,000 a year.

Mexico’s President Re
plies to Statement of
State Sec. Kellogg.
Washington, June IS.—The
statement of Secretary of State
Kellogg, Friday last, concerning
conditions in Mexico, has drawn
a plain worded reply from Presi
dent Calles. who regards as an
insult the implication that Mex
ico is on trial before the world
in the guise of a defendant.
Calles’ answer, issued through
the Mexican embassy here, de
dared Kellogg’s pronouncement
embodied a threat against the
sovereignty of Mexico and he
deemed it ‘‘a duty for my gov
ernment to rectify said state
ments, as required by truth and
justice.”
