growing wealth of these three, could fnancier
undertakings so vast as they have carried
through in rapid succession within the last
few years. But a large part of the strength
Of this combination has lain in it's ability
to command seemingly unlimited wealth
for the schemes that its members devised.
Mr.. Widener has long enjoyed the con-
fidence and support of a number Of very
wealthy men in Philadelphia. Mr.. Elkins
is a Standard Oil magnate, and his a%ssoci;
ates in that great corporation are renowned
for knowing and backing a good thing when
it is presented ito them. Mr.. Whitney also
is connected with Standard Oil by ties CT
marriage and friendship. 1t is rather less
than conjecture. therefore, vhat many of the
millions put into the enterprises Of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS combination came
from the inexhaustible stores of the Stand
ard Oil.
New York Under Their Sway.
The rapid development of the Metropolitan
Traction fine dates from the beginning of
Mr.. Whitney's leadership and the infusion
of Philadelphia and Standard Oil capital.
Under the impetus thus given to it it has
bought up and leased competing and tribu-
tary lines. until 1t now controls all the i'm
portant street railways on Manhattan island,
except the Third avenue system. The Met
ropolitan's capitalization Of $55, 600, 900 by no
means represents the traction interests con-
trolled by these men in New York City,
which are much nearer the 500, O00, 900 mark.
AS in Philadelphia, the absorption OF gas
interests has gone on along with the accu-
mutation of street railway stocks. At the
present time the control of the largest gas
company in the city Is undeniably in the
hands Of men identified with Standard Oil
and a determined effort has been made un-
der It's leadership to bring all the companies
in the city into one combination. This move
ment will undoubtedly succeed in time and
it probably would have been carried through
before this except for the opposition of
Standard Gas, which is Familiarity known as
Russell Sage's company.

where 1t would hardly be profitable to oper-
ate an independent line. II provides In most
cases a longer haul for a single fare.
Q the Philadelphia, Chicago and New
YORK lines today passengers are carried dis

from short hauls.
Worth Hundreds OF Millions.
I'm all the cases Of street railway con-
solidation with which | am familiar the
combination has resulted in the introduce
ton OF improvements and in more rapid
transit. In Philadelphia the change from
the old system OF traction to the trolley,
early brought about by the consolidation OF
separate lines. has been worth hundreds Of
millions to the city.
I'm my opinion all successful combina.
tions Of capital are beneficial to the public.
Combinations do not raise prices. II they
attempt to do they invite competition and
are certain to be unsuccessful.
THE old order of things is changing.
Business is no longer a matter OF competi-
ton between individuals. 1t is a competi-
tion between nations. BY the combination
Of capital in business we will master the
trade of the world.
Combinations in the great industries
have brought about the present widespread
prosperity. Combinations will cause this
prosperity to be permanent, England has
passed through the same experience, has
heard the same outcry that is now being
raised in this country against trusts. All
the great business undertakings over there
are carried on by combinations now.
The outcry that is being raised by dema-
gogues, penny politicians and sensational
newspapers against combinations Of capital
will not mislead the thinking people of this
country, whether they are workingmen or
the employers of workmen. 1t might have
misled them in a time OF financial panic
and lack OF work. but they will not be de-
ceived in the light of the prosperity which
these very combinations are causing. You
can fool men with empty stomachs, but you
cant fool them when their stomachs are
filed.
Combination guarantee steady and per-
manent employment to laborers at good
wages. They prevent the panics and in

selves and for the men behind them from
the control Of municipal franchises. They
have developed a new occupation, one that
provides another avenue to multi million
airedom-that of the municipal corporation
list.
Trust of MilliOnaires
More than this, the union OF brains and
capital represented by the combination be-
tween Messrs. Whitney, Widener and Elkins
is a new development of the trust idea In
this land of trusts. Heretofore the holders
of vast forces of capital have worked to-
gether for the carrying out of some single
enterprise perhaps. But for the most part
they have worked, each for himself or one
against another. These men have seen the
mutual and individual advantages of work
Ing together all the time. They are the pio-
neers OF what will prove to be, perhaps, the
last and greatest Of all trusts-the trust of
millionaires.
This combination OF interests Is undoubt-
eddy a good thing for the men concerned.
Their fortunes, in each case rated by the
tens of millions, bear eloquent testimony to
that fact. Is 1t a good thing for the public?
Opinions differ on this point, but Mr.. Wild
ener, who has been the most active OF the
three In building up the combinations, does
not hesitate to say that 1t Is. In his Phila-
delphia Office a few days ago he said to the
writer In the course of an interview:
THE extension and improvement OF street
railway lines made possible by the centraf-
ization Of management and control has in
variably resulted in greater benefit to the
public than to the owners of the lines. The
combination of the street lines In any city
usually makes 1t possible to extend the sys-
tenn into outlying districts where a car line

Three men in this country control over
l,5OO miles OF street railways, on which
25'OOO men are employed and 10000 cars
operated.
They may Justly be called the street rail-
way kings OF America, for they control the
transportation facilities of the three largest
cities In the c~ountry-New York, Chicago
and Observation-Disclosures Pittsburg, Balti-
more, a half dozen smaller municipalities
and hundreds of square miles OF suburban
territory.
They are William c. whitney OF New
York, Peter A. b.. Widener of PHILADELPHIA
and William l.. Elkins of Philadelphia.
The mileage of the systems under their
direction would make a trunk line from
Boston to Denver, but It Is many times as
valuable as any trunk line in the country.
Inc three men mentioned do not own these
lines. Their ownership is divided among
thousands OF stockholders in all parts OF the
country. But Whitney, Widener and Elkins
direct them as absolutely as though they
were the sole owners.
Nor does this represent the extent OF
thelr financial power and their industrial
enterprises. They control, to a large extent.
the gas supply of Philadelphia, Chicago,
New York and Pittsburg. They are the
masters of the electric light power and
transportation facilities in these and other
cities.
they represent, roughly speaking. half a
billion OF invested capital, possibly the
greatest aggregation of corporate wealth
this country has ever seen so centralized.
They have made vast fortunes for them

and practically meant the consolidation OF
all the lines in and about Philadelphia. The
company has a capitalization OF over 500
600, 600 and a bonded Indebtedness Of about
the same amount. One hundred millions
would not be an excessive valuation OF these
combined lines, which include over 400 miles
Of street railway.
The formation Of the Union company made
Mr.. Widener and Mr.. Elkins supreme in
Philadelphia traction affairs. BY extension,
reorganization and consolidation, the men
who started out as stockholders in a COM
pany with a face capital Of $1,000, coo, and
only half OF that paid in, had worked them
selves to the head OF an enterprise worth
800, 900, goo. While doing so they had de-
veloped in Philadelphia an extensive and
efficient system Of street transportation.
loving on Chicago.
Having conquered Philadelphia, these en-
terprislng traction kings looked about for
new worlds. They held controlling interests
in Philadelphia gas companies and owned
as much Philadelphia real estate as they
cared for. 1t was really necessary for them
to 20 to other cities II they were to extend
their operations in their chosen field of con-
trolling municipal franchises.
About this time Mr.. Charles T. Yerkes,
who had gone to Chicago with a borrowed
capital Of a few thousand dollars. secured
an option on the North Side street railway
in that city. Mr.. Widener and Mr.. Elkins
became stockholders in that line and so Sc
cured a foothold in Chicago traction inter-
csts. They also invested in gas companies
and street railways in Baltimore and some
OF the smaller Pennsylvania cities.
In 1889 Mr.. William C. Whitney, having
retired from public life, began his interest
in the affairs of the Metropolitan Traction
company. Widener and Elkins bought into
Metropolitan Traction and the three men
came into close business relations which re-
suited In the combination of their interests.
This combination was one of brains as well
as millions. The political training of Whit
ney and Widener had taught them how to
deal with men-and politicians. They all
knew the possibilities in street traction and
they set out to develop schemes so far
reaching that less resourceful men could not
even have contemplated them.
1t is very natural to wonder in this con-
nection how men, even with the rapidly

troops in and about Philadelphia. which was
the great hospital headquarters during the
war. Out Of this contract they cleared sew
eral thousands and Mr.. Widener proceeded
to invest his share in street railway enter
prlses' He was appointed city treasurer in
1870 and was elected to two successive terms
In that lucrative office. Since he retired
from politics, in 1877, he has devoted himself
continuously TO his street railway and other
enterprises.

dustrial disturbances that result from over
production. They give the public the bene-
fit of large sums which business men
wasted under the old system in fighting
each other.
Injuries Only One Glass.
"Only one class has been injured by the
movement toward consolidation of interests
that were formerly competing. These are
the commercial travellers who are employed
to race about the country and push the sale
of competing goods. Some of them have
lost their work. because there is no longer
the same necessity for their services.
They will have to accustom themselves to
the new order of things. If they are men Of
ability and enterprise they can do so with
out serious inconvenience.

vantageous thing for the interests Of work.

b~ination. But 1t has greater opportunities
to insure steady work and fair pay than the
competing employer had. The most success
full combinations are the ones that show the
greatest regard for the welfare and advance
ment OF their employees, because this method
insures the interest and cooperation CT the

are substantial and certain to be appreci-
ated. Then If Mr.. Whitney wants the as
~sistance OF that man he asks for 1t frankly
and openly and he gets it because he has
made it to the advantage of both to work
together.
Mr.. Whitney Is a man OF genial manners,
fastidious tastes and decided opinions. He
has accomplished more and with less blare
of trumpets both in the political and the
business world than almost any other man
that can be mentioned.
EIkins Like Rockefeller
William L. Elkins is nearly ten years Mr.,
Whitney's senior He was born in West
Virginia OF Quaker parents in 1882. He
began his business career at the age OF is
as entry clerk In a store. Before he was
20 he became the proprietor OF a lumber
yard, but a freshet swept 1t away and drove
him out OF business. His next venture was
to establish a produce commission business
in Philadelphia-the same line OF business
In which John ID. Rockefeller made his
start. BY the beginning of the civil war he
had the largest produce business In Phila-
delphia and had accumulated a comfortable
fortune for that time.
When the oil fever struck PENNSYLVANIA
Mr.. Elkins sold out his business and went
10 the oil fields intending to purchase wells.
Like Mr.. Rockefeller again, he decided that
the business of refining oil was more prom
ising than that of a producer. He returned
to Philadelphia and started the first large
refinery in that city. In 1875 he went into
the Standard Oil company, in which he is
still a large stakeholder. Soon after that he
began his active interest in street railways.
Widcner, Butcher and Politician.
Mr.. Widener, the other member OF the
combination, and the one who has been most
prominent in the management OF its NUM-
cipai enterprises, had neither the early ad-
yantages OF Mr.. Whitney nor the early diff
culties OF Mr.. Elkins. He was born in Phil
adelphia in 1884, was the son of a brick
maker and graduated from the Philadelphia
High school into the meat shop established
by his elder brother. In lieu OF a college
education he had a practical training among
the Philadelphia politicians OF the war
period, from which a clever young man was
certain to learn a great many things.
