Aue branches OF his own system were |
to reach every important district Of the
United States and give good service
from every first class city. The subju- |
cation Of the independent lines was to |
be brought about by the power of the
grand trunk line to allot the quantity
OF business which was to be given to
the other systems. He expected to
make the Pennsylvania railroad treat
with the big trunk line just as AFFECT
~ as the owners of a little spur con-
meeting at some faraway point on the
Union Pacific.
The big business Of first class traffic
would naturally yield an immense rev.
enue to the long and splendidly equip
ped line which could render superior
service. This would double and treble
the value of the investments In the
lines which we're to go to make up the
transcontinental system, the big ia
Their Of all railroads. There would be
enough money left In the treasury to
do all necessary lighting In the early
stages against systems which might
oppose the thraldom. With this treas
ury reserve always available the own
ers of the big system would be able to
dictate railway development In all
parts Of the country.
Mr.. Hartman was especially desir-
Gus that his plans should be carried
out, as their realization would make It
Immensely valuable for his heirs hav-
ing his holdings in the companies which
were to make up the grand trunk line.
For this reason he did not want the
accumulations In the treasury distrib-
uted. as they were to be used In carry
ing ont his plans. Those who opposed
his policy Of piling up In his treasures
large reserve stocks of needed lines
were those who desired to engage In
independent development on their own
account in various sections of the land.

The independent railway owners and

out the plans Of Hartman and secure
control Of all the transportation inter-
ests Of the country. 1t L. understood
