Letter of Submittal.
Washington, Sept. 25.
Sir: I have the honor to submit
herewith Part II of n Kcport on tho
Tobacco Industry. It deals with
arnings, capitalization, and invest
ment.
It shows the voit earning power
that urisen from substantial control
of 11 largo industry. The great To-
mcco Combination, which centers
round the American Tobacco com
pany, started in 1800 with $25,000,000
capitalization, operating only in cig
arettes. Hy 1D0S It controlled nbbut
four-fifths of tho whole domestic
tobacco industry, except cignrs, and
a its capitalization exceeded $3HI,
000,000. This concentration is tho
basis of the combination's groat. earn
ing iwwer. High rates of earnings
hnvo gone with monopolistic control
of tho Industry, and tho less tno uc
greo of control tho less tho Tate. Tho
uronf of this follows here. (Mates
of earnings are hcrelng computed in
nil eases on tho actual investment
including borrowed funds as estnh
llshed by the liureaM. "Earnings"
are the net before deducting Interest
charges,)
Earnings as a Whole
In 18M) the combination's earnings
were over 18 per cent on the actual
Investment. They roio In 1801 to
more thnn 21' per cent. It was then
operating principally, and with
practical monopoly, in cigarettes. In
1805 came expansion into oilier
branches, a keen competitive strug

TAKING STEPS

N'KW YORK, Sept. 25,-Poktofflcc
authorities today took steps to so
took effective shape. Its earnings
from that date cover the great bulk
of tho industry. In 1001 they were
13 per cent, in 1003 over 10 per
cent, Jind from 1001 to 1005 the over
age was in per cent, or
yearly.
This was the earning iiowcr of sub
stantial monopoly, the result of the
concentration above stated.
Earnings In Particular Branches
Here nppcars, even more strikingly
tho earning power of concentrnted
control. In the snuff business tho
combination has an almost complete
monopoly 00 per cent of the whole
business. From a rate of less than
0 per cent In the first year (1001),
the earnings rose in 1003 to 15 per
cent und 1O00 to over 22 per cent.
The common stock of tho snuff com cure the possession of more than
tmny, originally all "wnter," paid hundred thousand dollars which they

Conversely, the subsidiaries engaged
in the flat-plug business, with more
active competition, In no year earned
10 per cent, In 1000 less than 8 per

Finally, in the rdgar huslncs, of
which tho combination controls not
over 15 per cent, its rate of earnings
has never exceeded 0 per cent, and
from 1001 to 1008 averaged less than
0 per cent. This business, however,
showed exceedingly licay losses In
1002 und 1003. Here were severo
competition nnd low earnings.
