All the city travelling public loves
strap hanger because it has fellow
feeling for him. This is why the story
of how Frank Vanderlip, the banker,
got his start has an almost universal
appeal. 1t happened when vanderlip
was a reporter On a Chicago newspa-
per and writing financial news. The
traction situation then. as now, was al
most impossible. Charles 7. Yerkes
was traction Dictator. and the stock
holders and the public never had a
word to say in the conduct Of the
roads. Nor could they get any definite
islea Of the financial condition Of the
properties
The time for the annual meeting Of
the stoekholders of the principal road
came along AZ al the meetings Mr.
Yerkos had rattled or the reports n
the usual nnaecIpherable corporation
way. and ID one knew what was do
ing SO Vanderbilt planned coup.
He bought a share of stock, which
admitted him to the meeting. He had
been q steuographer before he became
newspaper man. When Mr. Iefkes
sailed into bis breezy explanation Of
finances the young reporter took down
everything be said Mr.. Yerkes used
one striking phrase. and 1t was this:
eThe passengers who have seats pay
the operating expenses. but the strap
hangers pay your dividends"
The next day the sentence topped
Vanderlip's account OF the meeting
It aroused d storm Of discussion, fer i
laid bare sane Of tile traction methods;

owing to the warm weather, but heavy arrivals
of the former from the river caused prices TO
