SWAMI BARESPAST
OF TRACTION GIANT
Traffic Tricks, Subterfuges
and Sub-leases Revealed
in 5000 Words.

District Attorney Swami, who in his
role as chief prosecuting officer OF the
county of New York has made some
energetic drives against the gamblers,
has spread his wisdom gratuitously
over a 5000 word treatise entitled The
Traction Situation Analysed and a Re
lief Proposed
by way of explaining its length
possibly. he states in the opening:
I'VE must ascertain the facts in the
traction situation past and present,
for the best prophet Of the future Is
the history of the past. Among the
past performances of the traction ill.,
terests. bequeathed as a rich legacy to
their successors and as reminder TO
a still suffering public, is the following
record of achievement"
Then follows u. discussion OF leases
and sub-leases, combinations, CONSOLE
dations. mergers and holding conf
panies, contrary TO the dictates of hon
est business principles and the public
! interests"
| A.
character OF the work this quotation
will be illuminating:
who are the successors and assigns
| Of these former overlords of traction"
District Attorney Swami asks. I'VE
will analyze the situation by starting
az the top and working down. We will
| therefore. first address ourselves to a
! consideration Of the marlborough Con-
! solidated Corporation, for this is the
! biz wheel within which the other
wheels OF traction revolve; it is OF trac-
/ ton but not In H.
! Let us see how this fraction giant
was born. or did it spring from orig
/ inal protoplasm."
| So the District Attorney proceeds tc
see:
an 1905 ore frauc!er was in sole
control OF al. tho surface lines in Man
haitian and The Rronx. In January
1906, he organized the Interborough
Metropolitan Company.
1T was not long after the Inter
borough Metropolitan Company &C
quired control of the traction systems
that 1t began to realize that it haC
been 'gypped,'
While financiers may not understand
this term. it is not unknown in Crimi
nal practice
Thus. in 1907. eighteen month";
after his ambitious merger for III
traction domination. this financier'
dream of transportation oTerlordshiI
faded into thin air and he had to abdi
cate in favor of friendly receivers"
One gathers from reading the articl
the District Attorney is opposed tt
the application OF the street railway
to charge a cent fare or to collect
cents for a transfer.

their brows feverish, on every hand

ism we're heard over the possibility
of increased business this fall. The

was one of the reasons for their en-
