SALIENT POINTS IN Mr.. REA'S PLEA.

The position Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad system Is not SO strong as
II was.
The marin Of surplus is steadily
diminishing.
The company is not receiving any
return either on the additional capt.
tai invested or for the value Of the
service rendered and the facilities
provided for public use.
Our company 10 owned by over
10000 stockholders. Fully 48 per
cent. Of this number Is made up Of
women. and two-thirds Of the stock
holders do not hold over 81, 500 each
Of stock.
II the railroads are to be crippled
there Is swept away very much Of
the economic foundation for national
progress in the life Of every citizen.
The market price Of our stock
to-day is very little above par.
No return on many of our lines
has been earned, and on aim st
all Of them the return has been
inadequate.
A return Of only IA, per cent.
has been earned on the increased
investment In road and equipment
in the ten years ending June 80,
1913.
