RISE OF RAIL
MACNATE LIKE
ALCER STORY
New Van Swerringen Chief
Started Life as Black
smith Helper.

6U LUitc,4 FeSS
CLEVELAND, O., May 25-From
apprentice blacksmith to empire
builder is the story Of John J. Ber-
net, president of the Erie railroad,
who soon will become chief Of OPP
erationS of all Van Sweringen lines,
according to well authenticated re-
ports. AS a youth Bernet planned to
succeed his father in a little smithy
at Farnham, N. Y,
Today at 81. Bernet stands not at
an anvil, but as the dominating fig
ure at the throttle OF a vast network
of railroads, the directing genius be-
hind the far-f1ung Van Sweringen
domain. In forty years Of vivid rail-
road history he has Spanned the gap
between blacksmith and empire
builder.
Bernet was lured from the forge
by the chatter of a telegraph key in
the New York Central station at
Farnham, N. Y. He became an ap-
prentice operator there to open his
brilliant railroad career.
Rise Was Rapid
Six years at the window and
Bernet became train dispatcher at
Buffalo. Another six years and ne
was one of the youngest trainmas~
tiers in the country. BY degrees ne
climbed. The post of division super
/ intendent awaited him.
He rose TO an important vice
presidency in 1916 and then when
it appeared almost certain he would
became president Of the entire New
York Central system, he handed his
friends a Jolt with the announce
ment he had accepted the presi-
dency of the Nickel Plate.
Christened Nickel Plate" In a
spirit of irony, the little line was a
joke to all the railroad world, but
with four years of Bernet manage
ment, it astonished the country.
It's $35 stock had jumped to 5000
or more and was paying II per cent
Smaller lines had been merged
into the reconstructed Nickel Plate.
Gross income had increased 100 per
cent. Many miles of new tracks had
been laid. shops and terminals built.
The Chesapeake & Ohio, Hooking
Valley. Pere Marquette and other
lines were drawn into the system.
When the Erie was added to the
Van Sweringen string. Bernet be-
came its president. In twelve
months after Bernet took the helm
the Erie had been revamped into one
Of the speediest and best condi-
toned roads in the country.
Never "Short- Changed" Job
Bernet is said to De a man of ex-
ceedingly few words. He was per-
suaded to talk about his rise to pow
er only to this extent.
I've thought the railroad business
the best in the world and the worst.
At times I've kept on at it only to
see what in blazes would happen
next.
But no matter what I've thought,
felt or wanted to do, I've remem-
bered that I picked my job and the
job did not pick me; that the rail-
road could get along better without
me than I can without j. ""d I've
never short-changed my Job"

By international News service

Plans for tightening up prohibi.
ton enforcement in Chicago and.
vicinity were made today at q con.
ference Commissioner James M.
Doran held with United States At
torney George Johnson and Alexan-
der Jamie, chief of special agents
in that city.
No decision has been reached but
possibly the force of special agents
and other personnel will be in
creased to meet the situation. There
was said TO be close liaison be-
tween the District Attorneys office
and that of Administrator e. c.
YelIowley.
Doran disclosed that one of the
chief problems confronting the
authorities IL extensive transporta-
ton of liquor from New York and
other eastern cities to Chicago. Chi
cago was regarded as q central dis.
tributing point for big bootleggers
in that section of the Middle West.
Beer No Worry
The beer problem was not re-
garded as serious from the Federal
standpoint, since most of that
beverage Is dispensed through small
speakeasies and bars which fall
within the jurisdiction of State and
municipal enforcement agencies.
Most OF the beer raids got little
except near.bear, which was sold
after being needed" A compare
tive small quantity of real.beer has
been sold in Chicago, according TO
the authorities here.
1t was understood that Yellow

attorney were planning to close down
on Illicit alcohol plants in the Cicero
and other districts adjacent to Chi
cago. These plants were said to be
big sources Of supply for retail
bootleggers.
The prohibition situation in Chi
cago was characterized as fairly
satisfactory for a large city. al
though the necessity exists. officials
admitted. for strong concentration
against a well.orga nized rum trust.
YellOwley to Stick
Doran reiterated that Yellowley
would stay in Chicago and that there
has been no suggestion of his trans.
fer to another district. Assistan.
Secretary of the Treasury Seymour
declaring Yellowfey was doing a
satisfactory job and that there had
been no criticism of his work. Ere.
quent rumors have been circulated
in the last few weeks that Yellow

1t was thought here that these
rumors resulted from the visit of
Doran to Chicago and the sevetal
conferences held both in Washing.
ton and that city between Doran
and johnson. These conferences;
however. Doran explained, were 10
discuss enforcement problems, to
lay out an effective campaign of
action against big bootleg operators
and to bring about complete IN
derstanding between the prohibition
service and the United States at
torney's office. Such an under.
standing was held essential to
proper enforcement of the law and
to preparation of prohibition cases
for the courts.
