6 THE SUN, TUESDAY, MARCH 1G, 1915. VAIL PLEADS FAIR CHANCE FOR BUSINESS Country Menaced as "Go ing" Concern if Meddling-Continues. BASIC CONDITIONS EXCELLENT. HE SAYS Theexlore f. Vail, president of the American Te.lcplione ami TeleKrnph. Company, In n letter iittnclie el to Die annual report wnrnn iisalnM thei ells turblng Inlluenefs of iiRltiitlon for In oreaned tvaRoii and undue legislative In terference! with buslnms, oi-iioclally tht of "transporlatlon and Intetcomniunl cis.tlon.' President Vail points out that tn Bell Telephone System linn had l.ttlo ejause for complaint In Its rvlatlone with Lefislr.tire, commlsnteim., onurtu or municipalities. Quito us larue ti per cnUR of oatlcfuctory conclusions, he, admits, have b,cn arrlvi-d at hy com mission mi would have been the cane In the regular court of Jutlce. But unless there Is a chance. In the attitude of Inn makers toward bualnewi he think "the Increased demands of the country ns a 'coins' concern cannot be met, to ray nothing of our country as frowlntr1 concern. The Irreducible minimum In unit ex pense has been reached In some Indus tries and eeoon will bo In all," wiyn l'rel dent Vnll. "A corporation no mine than an Individual can be bound band und foot and yet be active or plve ifood service. H.inkrupt public ser vice In time mean bankrupt communi ties." "All employment Is fnr below normil," he says. "There nre fully 2.000,000 un employed, whose early earnings should be at least Jl. 230,000,000." The hope of a remcely he sees In the followlnR : "Never were the basic conditions of the country better than now for n res toration and continuance of normal con ditions. It does seem as If liupe, com bined effort of all, rlcht Ideas and n rlsht understnndliiK tnlitht be broUKht to bear on the nolutlon of these iiue tlons. "The puhllc mind, which has been es lted and lullut ru'i-it b) eA.iKBeraK d, mis leading ami lutMaken statements of Ir regularities, realize that most of them had no foundation In fact " War and business did not nffect the telephone tmslnnsn as heavily ns other Industries, accordlnc to I're-ililent Vail. The chief effect was to retard normal growth rather than to reduce the amount of previous business. The Increase In number of subscriber statioiiH was only 76 per rent, of the number added In 1M3 and was lc.s than in any one of the four years previous. The gross earnings of the entire Hell system for 1914 were 22o.!ri 113. the greatet In the history of the company, and Jln,37!,30t greater than the yejir b-ore. Th" net balance avail able for dividend' was JI0.3flfi.63?, a de crease of l T3P.2'".l. "he bilanre for mr plus blng 1111.1102,4.12, n decrease of $1. 732,742. The total outstanding obliga tions of the compmles of the Hell sys tem are ISS0.929..M. wllh current liquid assets of over 1 57,000.000, tho company's appraisals of the cost of reproduction of Its property blng 161,000,000 In excess of the book values. The property employed In the ey-tem earned 5.61 per cent., and the dividend and Interest paid were 4.S7 per cent of the value of the property. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company earned S44,r.i6,M)S. against t1B.90J.09l the year before. Net earn lns available for dividends were J32 334,311 as compared with J32.920.OJO, equal to 9 3s per cent, on th! stock, against 9.55 per ont. tho previous year Of rcs revenue 46 5 per cent went to wages. The company psld In actual charges for Its mnoy K I per ctnt on the capital Invested In plant and 5 J pr cent on Its outnanding securities "Could lh mom be got fnr less?" aaks President Vail In commenting on the possibility of fioverument ownership. "Taking he average of all the years it Is not probable that even If secured on government bonds or nutrient"' It could be obtained In the enormous amount required for much less thin the utilities as a whole have to p.iv." Itepulatlon and control by commis sions have, come to stay, -jays President Vail, and the few years experience of them has alreudy demonstrated great possibility for good.

I.augdon, tratllc mnnojer of t'.e road, submitted tables u show that very few commuters will be nffeeted. He tes tified that the road's passenger business did not pay. Mr. Spedlck's contention in that the proposed change discriminates 1 ng tlnst a considerable class of com-1 muters. The Incrcasod earnings to thei load will be only J5.000. The testimony offerel little of gen-1 eral interest until Commissioner Pecker took the witness In hand and, leaving the matter of commuters to be forgot ten for a time, began to nslc about tlio road's general troubles. He brought out that while there ha been r.o In ci ease In passenger rates other than the one proposed since Juno 30. 1914, thero has been a rain- In freight rates that netted the road J 160.000 more than It took In the year before. "What was your best )ear In the Inst ten?" the traffic manager was asked He replied that 1909 had been the ban ner year, since Instead of re delicti the road had then a surplus of $316,718, The deficit last year was J49I.O0O. It nppeured that In 1910 the ronrl ' dropped from a surplus to a dellclt in earnings over expenses of over JSOO.OUO and Commissioner Decker wnnted to know what caused "this violent dlf-, ference." "I know In a general way," said Mr. I.mgdon, "that our epene.s went up In1 changing from steam to electric service ' and the elimination of grade crossings I Tlmro Is an increase In expense of op eiutlon and for material m tin- elimina tion work." Mr, Langdon testified that the com-1 muting business was Increasing faster ; than any other and that In 1914 the. road bad carried more passengers than ever before, 41.600,000 In round numbers -ver ieiore, si.ovu.uuu in roino numuers i is coiniuired with 1S.000.0OO carried In. 1905. He said that while the carrying .r passengers was profitable five months in the year. It was not profitable taken the year around. "Would tho company be better off If! It had no passengers?" asked Commls-1 sloner Decker. I No, freight alone wouldn't pay for the upkeep, I "Then Isn't there really a profit In the I passenger buslne'ee?" This question drew no answer and the t-r Count Witte The late Premier, the man who gave a Constitution to Russia, throws a new light upon the affairs of his country in a series of unpublished interviews and letters prepared by Herman Bernstein.
