How to Make a Million
Seven Men Show 1t Can Be Accomplished In Less
Than 35 Years by Following Three Simple Rules
By ELWOOD LLOYD

"Oh, If I only had million dol.
lars. Wouldn't ! enjoy life"
How often we hear this expression.
1t is safe to say that every one OF
us hears it in some form at least
six times a year from some of our
friends or acquaintance.
And if the wishers for n million
were assured that the wish would
turn into an actuality if they worked
diligently and hard for the next 81
years. there would be a lot of rolling
up of sleeves and setting to work with
a will.
Could it be done? Well, it has been
done. Therefore, it is quite posi-
Bile that it might be done again.
Here is little compilation of facts
set forth in the house organ of "A
large manufacturing concern, the Diss-
ton Crucible. Let's see how many can
name the man mentioned in the fol-
lowing list:
Back in 1S90-34 years ago
"Can you remember that far back ?
Well
"The worlds most famous automo-
bile manufacturer was working in a
bicycle shop.
"A millionaire hotel owner was hop
ping bells.
Americas steel king was stocking a
blast furnace.
AN international banker was fir
ing a locomotive.
"a former President of the United
States was running printing press.
"A great merchant was carrying a
mack on his hack.
a railroad president was pounding
telegraph key.
MORAL: Where will you be in
1913?
How did these successful men reach
the points of desire enumerated in
the foregoing quotation? How did
they reach the point of owning mil
lion dollars or more in less than 30
years?
There were three very simple things
which entered into the success OF All
these men-three simple fundamentals
which are neither mysterious nor unat-
tainable for every one OF us:
First, they established obJectives

!. IN FIRST
ROUND
Hearings to Go On. Despite
G. & o. Protest Against Van
Sweringen Plans
By HARRY WARD

Minority stockholders of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad lost
the first round today in their
fight to block the, gigantic Van
Sweringen railroad merger, when
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion refused to grant a postpone
ment of hearings on the proposed
consolidation.
The Chesapeake and Ohio minori-
ty group sought to delay the
hearings until after the chancery
court at Richmond, Va, has
passed upon their suit to prevent
leasing of the carrier to the Van
Sweringen interests. This lease
is q part of the proposed merger.
Immediate Hearings Ordered.
Declining this appeal, the Commits
aion Immediately ordered the hear
ngs started on the application OF
the Van Sweringens to merge five
railroads into one great system.
1t is a "billion dollar" proposition,
swung by two men under fifty years
of age, who began life in Cleveland
as newsboys.
The properties involved contain
more than 5000 miles of tracks
and sidings, and embrace the Erie,
the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Nickel
Plate, the Hooking Valley, and the
Pere Marquette, operating in ten
States. The total estimate of invest
ment In these properties is 81.
oS1 .00O, 900.
at the outset with a demand from
minority stockholders in the Chesa-
peake and Ohio that the proceedings
be continued until the chancery
court at Richmond passes on the
legality Of the merger.
Thomas b. Gay, their attorney,
presented his argument today and
was followed by w. A. Colston, at
torney for Van Sweringen brothers.
Commission Is Split.
Sitting with the commission for
the first time was Thomas F.
Senate twice refused to confirm.
He is a former director in the
Pere Marquette.
At the time Of his nomination the
commission was understood to be
split 5-to-5 on the proposed MERGE.
The proposed grouping is a
definite step toward a realization
along natural and logical lines, OF
the principles of railway readiust-
ment which the transportation act
encourages" w. A Colston, general
counsel of the Van Sweringen group,
said today.
According to Colston the Nickel
Plate. Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Hooking Valley are the nucleus for
the proposed unified system, which
provides arteries In the country's
main sweep OF traffic from Western
gateways, besides an outlet to the
port Of New York and routes giving
direct access from Norfolk and
Newport News to the tip of the
lower Michigan peninsula
The system, he said, will have
the shortest route between Buffalo
and Chicago, south OF Lake Erie.
the second shortest between New
York and Chicago and between
New York and Cleveland, while
comparing favorably with distances
10 otner points over other systems.
Colston's main contention was
tnat the proposed acquisition OF
control is in harmony both with
the policy and purpose Of the
transportation act, and. with the
recommendations made by the In
terstate Commerce Commission in
its annual reports made to Congress
In 1918 and 1919"
