1t remained for Mr.. Cassatt to find
the solution. Buy dominating interest
in the roads, was his plan. He then
made an agreement with the New York
Central people for them to dominate the
hard-coal properties; the Pennsylvania
would do the same by its rival soft coal
roads, and the two would work together
for the good of both and all. Thus, the
Baltimore & Ohio, the Chesapeake &
Ohio and the Norfolk & Western came
to take orders from the office of Alex
ander Johnston Cassatt. Later the Penn
sylvania also secured domination over
the Philadelphia & Reading, a hard coal
property. The Central agreed to this,
since the Reading is more a rival of
the Pennsylvania than of the Central
The Vandalia lines, the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne & Chicago, and the Cleveland,

much interest has been taken by the pub
lie in the so-called community of m
terests scheme entered into by the Penn
sylvania and the New York Central for
the regulation of traffic This is another
bold bit of original railroading by Mr..
Cassatt.
When he became President of the
Pennsylvania in 1899, following the
death of Frank Thomson, the eastern
railroads were cutting one another's and
their own Threats in wild war for
freight traffic. This was especially true
as regards the coal business. A traffic
association, formed by the railroads to
put stop to the warfare, having been
declared illegal by the courts and subse-
quently dissolved, all the railroads in
question were at loss for a way in
which to end the suicidal struggle.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1906-07-26

Cincinnati, Chicago & ST. Louis complete
the list of properties dominated by the
Pennsylvania under this community of
interests plan. The Long Island -ail-
road, properly speaking, is not domi-
mated; it is owned outright, a majority
of the stock being in the Pennsylvania
strong boxes. Mr.. Cassatt purchased
the road to insure, for all time, ample
docking facilities on the Atlantic to the
Pennsylvania.
During Mr.. Cassatt's regime the
Pennsylvania holdings in other roads
has increased enormously, reaching the
grand total of more than 100000,
par value. The cost of all this was about
100000 less.
By direction of Mr.. Cassatt the Penn

phia & Erie Railroad. A year and half
later he was given like position with
the Pennsylvania, with headquarters at
Altoona. Less than two years and half
after this he was made General Superii1-
tendent of the road, and a little more
than year later, following the leasing OF
the United Railroads of New Jersey, h.
became General Manager of all the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg. He
was the first to hold this office, and as
such he was stationed in Philadelphia,
the home of the Pennsylvania, for the
first time
One of the things he did as General
Manager was to aid in the establishment
of the through passenger car service be-
tween different cities, even where several
roads have to be used. On his own
road he introduced the track tank, one
of the devices that makes the ''lyer"
possible. He also equipped it with the
block signal system and hammered into
the roads thousands of employees that
discipline and politeness for which they
are justly famed.
In July of 1874, on the death of Presi-
dent J. Edgar Thomson, Mr. Cassatt got
his reward in promotion to Third Vice
president. Six years later, when Colonel
Thomas A. Scot, the famous war rail-
roader, under whom Mr. Cassatt was
trained, retired from the presidency and
the First Vice-president, George B. Rob-
erts succeeded him, Mr.. Cassatt stepped,
into Mr.. Roberts old place. Here he
remained until September 80, 1882, when
he resigned He set down in his letter
of resignation:
"My only object in taking this step IS
to have more time at my disposal thar
any one occupying so responsible pc
sition in railroad management can com
mand. If 1 were to remain in active
railroad life, 1 could not desire a position
more agreeable to me than the one /
now occupy nor would / be willing to
connect myself with any other company
than the one in whose service more than
twenty-one years of my life have been
passed"

GETTING CONTROL OF A RAILROAD.
The highly dramatic manner in which
Mr.. Cassatt secured control of the Phila-
delphia, Washington & Baltimore rail-
road-sometime since renamed the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington
further illustrative of the characteristic
of boldness that has marked his railroad
career almost from its beginning.
In 1872 the P w. & B. was owned
by group of New England capitalists
and was operated by them in the inter
ests of the Pennsylvania. Robert Gar
rett, then the big man of the Baltimore
& Ohio, coveted the road as a means of
reaching New York, and quietly set
agents to work to purchase a controlling
interest in the property. So great was
his jubilation when he became convinced
that this had been done that he boast
fully announced one morning to Mr..
George B. Roberts, of the Pennsylvania,
what he had accomplished, adding: eve
are not disposed, however, to disturb
your relations with the property, and
you need not give yourself any uneasi-
ness on that score"
In the small hours of the following
morning the directors of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, called in hurried meeting
in New York City, heard from Mr.. Cas-
satt that the P w. & B. was their prop
erty and not Mr.. CARROTS. He had
discovered, in the few hours that had
elapsed since Mr. CARROTS boast, that
that usually shrewd gentleman had over
looked a certain block of stock, on the
possession of which control of the road
hinged. This he had bought-and Mr..
Garrett was nursing a delusive victory
Then and there a check for this stock,
in amount $I4o4o,o52.2o, changed hands.
1t remained for several years the largest
check ever drawn in single financial
transaction Whenever Mr. Cassatt
walks into the treasury of the Pennsyl-
vania, all he has to do to see the check
is to cast his eyes towards certain
wall of the treasury, where it has hung
since it served its purpose.

nels under two rivers and the city il
self. More, it is going into New Eng
land by an all-rail route He instituted
the plan, now widely spread among our
railroads, of retiring and pensioning all
employees when the age of seventy is
reached. He secured control of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company, and the
railroad thus became the maker of its
own steel rails. He has pushed almost
to completion the four-tracking of the
Pennsylvania all the way from Philadel-
phia to Pittsburg, despite the fact that
west of Harrisburg this has required en-
tire mountains to be removed He has
poured out other millions of money for
rolling stock; when he gave the word
work was begun on the new Union sta
ton now nearing completion in Wash
ington; his whole course as President of
the Pennsylvania has been Numerically
opposite to the traditional one for a
Pennsylvania president. From being the
most conservative of American roads,
under him the Pennsylvania has become
what may be termed radical, for want
of better word. And yet, for all this
overturning of old, settled policies, pu0-
nc confidence in the road remains TN
shaken and every loan that its asks for
in order to carry on its vast improve
ments is snatched up with avidity here
and abroad. A loan of fifty million dol
lars was recently placed in France
HARD WORK WON HIS SUCCESS.
Mr.. Cassatt began his career with the
Pennsylvania as rodman. That was in
the opening year of the Civil War After
two years 81 tramping over a goodly
portion of Central Pennsylvania he was
assigned to he engineering corps, and
as an assistant engineer helped to build |
the Connecting Railway, linking the
Pennsylvania to the Philadelphia & Tren-
ton. Here he attracted the attention of |
MS superiors, and in 1864, when the
Pennsylvania got control of the Philadel-
ohia & Erie, was transferred to Remove
IS resident engineer of the middle di-
yision Next, he was. superintendent, for
l short time, of subsidiary road, the
Warren & Franklin. In April of 1866
le was transferred to Williamsport, with
he title of Superintendent of Motive
Power and Machinery of the Philadel:
