RAILWAY PURCHASES REVEALED In
REPORT PRESENTED TO COMMITTEE

The railroads in 1887 bought
materials and supplies or fuel in
323 cities and towns located in 81
Of the 81 counties of Florida. This
fact and the nationwide spread
of railway purchases was reveal
ed in a series of exhibits which
j. j. PelIey, president OF the As
ISOLATION of American Railroads,
recently presented to the special
Senate Committee now investi-
eating unemployment and relief.
For the nation as a whole, these
exhibits showed that last year
purchases of materials. supplies
and fuel amounting to a total of
$500, DOC, 900 were made by the
railroads in 12,174 cities and
towns located in 2,637 counties of
total of J, 072 counties In the 48
states of the nation. These pur-
chases included approximately
10 900 different items and thus af-
fected industry and agriculture
everywhere.
In 1929 and 1890 railway pur-
chases of materials, supplies and
fuel averaged s1,ls4. 900, 900 an
nuaIIy. In the five years from
1881 to 1885 this yearly average
dropped to s559.819.800. In 1885.

THE HOLDING COMPANY

Destruction of "all holding COM
panies" would revolutionize industrial Am
erica. It's bitterest effects would be felt
by the millions of citizens who own stocks
and bonds, and by the banks and insur-
ance companies to which they have en-
trusted their savings. For, as financial
experts pointed out, about half of the
widely-held securities outstanding in this
country represent corporations which are
wholly or partly holding companies by
nature.
The big board" of the New York
Stock Exchange, the worlds principal
market place for securities. lists hundreds
of concerns of this kind-concerns whose
stocks are owned by the butcher, baker
and candlestick maker, as well as large
investors.
The holding company came into ex-
istence and has remained in existence for
a very good reason-it gave the people
better services and products for less money.
Utility holding companies have been large
ly responsible for the amazing progress
made by the gas and electric industries.
Banking holding companies have strength
ened and de safer the nations banking
structure. Holding companies for auto
mobiles, petroleum, processed foods, cloth
ing and hundred other commodities have
been mighty factors in improving the Am
erican standard of living to where it is the
best in the world.
The holding company, by providing
unified control and production, lessons and
eliminates waste. 1t provides the most eff
ficient management. It is able to produce,
distribute and sell products and services at
minimum cost. To a far greater extent
than most of us realize, American indus
trial supremacy depends on the holding
company.
The public should be adequately pro-
tected against holding company abuses
or abuses by any other form of business or
political manipulations. If present laws
are Intellectual, they can be rewritten. But
you can't entirely destroy the holding COM
pany without uprooting American indus
try as we know it today--at the expense of
every man with job, few shares of
stock, bond or two, life insurance
policy, or money in the bank.

supplies and fuel increased to
S803, A., 900. Encouraging traffic
volume in the first half of 1897
resulted in further increase in
railway purchases of materials,
supplies and fuel, the total for the
year amounting to approximately
5000 ,000, 900. The subsequent
sharp decline in traffic volume
and revenues. especially in the
fourth quarter of the year. has re-
suited in a necessary and drastic
reduction in railway purchases.
Mr.. Pelley, in presenting these
exhibits to the Senate Commit
tee, pointed out that increased
revenues and a return of normal
traffic would bring about a re-
sumption of railroad buying in
large volume which. in turn,
would stimulate Industrial activ-
ity throughout the nation and the
Unemployment of thousands of
workers. To build one freight
car, he said. requires materials
from 81 different states and pro-
vides ], 987 man-hours of employ
ment-approximately a years
work for one man. To build one
locomotive, he added. provides so
men with fun time work for one
year, and requires materials from
more than thirty states.
