Statement by Gen. Trip.

Gen. Guy E. Trip. chairman of the
committee of one hundred represent
ing the American Electric Railway
Association. told the commission that
Sc, 600, 600, 900 invested in street rail-
ways was in danger of complete
collapse and dissolution"
THE electric railway industry" Mr..
Trip said, lis faced with three pos
sibilities and the issue will come i'm
mediately-frst, municipal ownership;
second. private ownership and opera
ton. resting on sound fundamental
basis of regulation and operation, and
third. absolute disappearance OF the
service
This service has not only to do
with possible loss to individual own
ers of securities, but its effect will be
a real cause for alarm on the part OF
insurance companies. bankers, trust
companies and other fiduciary insti-
buttons who, in good faith and with
sound business judgment. have in
vested savings intrusted to their care
in the bonds and other securities of
the railway companies, and it certain
ly would be matter of serious con-
Germ to manufacturers who find in the
electric railways customer for
nearly $500. 100000 annually of their
products

! DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
mum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to semi-liquid form.
In 1888 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to a dr.
ponder form with extract of matted
grains, rithoa cane sugar.
This product hoRLIcK named
Matted Milk. (Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparatioa
(by simply stirring in water) and tho
fact that it keeps in any climate.
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-07-16
Inelastic Methods Alleged.

present methods of regulation and
control of street railways are entirely
too inelastic to respond to the stress
of changing conditions and have not
permitted the adjustment of the price
of the product to meet the cost of the
product. The real issue comes be-
tween municipal ownership and pri-
waite ownership. From the purely
selfish standpoint of individual in
vestors l have no doubt a great sigh
of relief would go up if municipali-
ties should purchase the electric rail-
ways at fair valuation. But the
experience of government operation
of these utilities has not been reas
surfing and I believe majority of
the people of the country believe in
private ownership under proper reg
ulation and control"

Other Witnesses Heard.

Col Joseph H. Alexander of Cleve-
land testified as to labor costs. He
pointed out wage increases granted
labor during the war as increased
cost, and said no means for recover
ing this additional outlay-sometimes
as much as 100 per cent-was fur
nished the companies.
H. A. Stewart of Chicago said con-
ditions in the electric railways Sc
curities market were in a deplorable
state because of the companies finan-
cial condition.

EXPLAINS PLIGHT
OF ELECTRIC LINES
Gen. Trip, Head Of Several
Systems, Describes Con-
ditions as "AIarming."
SUGGESTION OF REMEDY

Testif1ng before the Federal Elec-
trio Railway Commission today at the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Gen. Guy L. Trip. president of several
traction and light companies. told the
commission that solution of the pres
ent alarming condition" of street
railways lies in application Of the
so-called cost of service plan" In
corporated in his recommendation,
Gen. Trip urged that although local
conditions alter to a great extent diff
ferent traction problems traction
companies should get together with
municipal authorities and public
utilities commissions in an effort to
bring about better understanding
between the car-riding public and the
companies.
Discusses "Cost of Service" Plan.
The cost of service" plan. accord
ing to Gen. Trip, whose testimony oc-
cuped practically the entire morning
session of the hearing, contemplates
that the income of electric railways
should pay the cost of operation, in
Guiding employees salaries; provide
for depreciation of rolling stock. and
should pay interest on notes and
bonds and take up run-out issues of
stock or bonds.
On being questioned by Vice Chair
man Sweet as to what use the sur
plus, granted a surplus is left, should
be put, Mr.. Trip said that such sur
plus, might, after period of years be
used as a net basis for reduction of
fares. Such a plan could come about,
however, he said only through a high
er fixed maximum fare rate than at
present obtains.
Demand for "New Relations"
Gen. Trip testified that new rela-
tons must be effected between the
car-riding public. probably by public
supervision of the operating revenues
and expenditures of the companies
and perhaps by a representative of the
public sitting on the board of directors
of the traction companies. He said
that wages of employees, raised last
year by decision of the War Labor
Board are fair and cannot reasonably
be reduced, and that the present con-
dition of street railways is due to the
decreased purchasing power of the
dollar.

The following incident
illustrates. in part, how
carefully this store guards
its public confidence.
A BIG silk dress sale was
planned for a recent Mon
day. A half-page ADVERTISE
ment was written, twelve
illustrations made. and all
preparations made for the
launching of the event.
But when the dresses ar
rived from New York they
were not as good as the
samples submitted by the
manufacturer. They were
Immediately shipped back
to the maker and the "ad"
destroyed.
The advertisement would
have brought a big crowd
no doubtful our friends
would have been disap-
pointed and we would have
suffered a loss in public
confidence.
This store will never
permit the announcement
of unsatisfactory offerings
for the sake of bringing
crowds. 1t is the poorest
kind of poor business.
