HOWARD ELLIOTT’S BIG JOB.
The omniverous W’est, says an ex
change, will extend a large amount
of sympathy to Howard Elliott, W’est
ern product, who is trying to straight
en out the tangles, moral and finan
cial, of his new job as president of
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad. That road, under Pres
ident Elliott’s advice, passed a divi
dend the other day, for the,first time
in 44 years, and stocks went tobog
ganing. Thousands of New England
ers, wdo rsew naven uiviuenus
have formed a big share of their an
nual incomes, have had; a gloomy
Christmas. The road has already paid
a 5 per cent dividend on the 1913
account, but the shareholders were
looking for another one with which
to make the Yuletide season a happy
one.
President Elliott has decided—and
the directors have agreed with hitn
—that the road needs a block signal
system, new rolling stock, better
equipment and roadbed improvements
more than the stockholders need div
idends. He figures, like the high-grade
railroad man that he is, that the
present dividends must be sacrificed,
if the stockholders are to receive and
be entitled to honest dividends in the
future.
More than 10,000 of the 23,968
shareholders of the road are women.
Over 9,000 are individual men. Trusts
and guardianships to the number of
3,702, hold stock. There are only 784
corporation stockholders. Ten years
ago this stock sold as high as 225.
It was hammered down the other day,;
by the passing of the dividend, to 72.;
The 10,474 women and other hold-:
ers whose yearly incomes front this i
source, generally small, had been $12,- }
400,000, are now cut down to none i
at all, and large numbers of them j
have doubtless been brought face to j
face with want at the start of win- j
ter.
Men and not events are responsi-1
ble for this mighty wreck of a great :
investment property. These men ;
were responsible fcr the Dillard j
transactions which took away $3,-'
000,000 for nothing substantial in re- I
turn. For the payment of $13,500,-'
000 for nothing in the Rhode Island i
trolley purchases. For the $12,000,000 |
which “vanished into thin air” in :
I
the Westchester and Boston deal. !
For the disappearance of other great
sums in rounding up a perfected'
transportation monopoly of New Eng- *
land. These men made of this great j
iiiuyn ij tt itcvcj euuiug source or '
huge bankers’ commissions on new :
loans to cover these inflated acqui
sitions and fatten the pockets on the
harpies of high finance. Their names
are known. There is no mystery ex
cept the amount of their individual :
profits.
These are some of the conditions i
that make Mr. Elliott's job a big ;
and worrying one. Mr. Elliott learn
ed the railroad business in the West.'
He worked as district agent for t’ e
Burlington at St. Louis when the Bur
lington was a new and strange card '<
in the Southwest transportation deck.
He went to the Northern Pacific as
president, after that read had been
lb rough the idorm and stress of Wait
street management and manipulation j
and he made a railroad out of the i
stock-jobbing plaything. He had been !
trained in the school that believes a
railroad should be operated over ties
and rails and bridges, instead of over
the tape of the stock exchange tick
et. His job with the New Haven
is to convince the stockholders that
the Western system Is the better.
The West will hope he succeed , not
only on ills own account, but for the
benefit and profit of the stockhol 'ers
of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford.

vidual use.

first-class quality of materials and

mind as to style that price commands,
you will almost think it isn’t enough
to pay. We carry a large line.
