Thnt was to say, the ralirond company would nut bind Itsalf up for 8 long term of years, and his own theory was that, when the Puallman Company wasu't of use nud ndvnnllul'a to the rallrond company and the Pul)]lc, then its fune- tlunas onuht to cense, and {L was provided thnt they micht cense fn this way. The raliroad company could not cancel the contract unless it Lought The property, and by fhis clauso the stockholders In the Pullman Company were protected and would receive the valua of thelr roperty. Tl Chnlrman observed that,whon the railrond peapla saw an opporiunity to cancel, they would of courke ‘Iunrq on it Mr. Pullman responded that the theory of the coutract was this—that the aystem of through 1ines lind become an acknowledued ne- cesalty, both to the publle and the ratlroad eotnpanies, Each compuny had the option, at any time, to contributy three-fourtha of tho capital required to equip ita Hue of ralirond so o8 to practlenlly receive the earnlngs or profits, i any, in the rouning of sleeping-cars over its line,” Tha Pullman™ Company, in that casec, would own slinply ane-fourth of the interest, aned the rafroad compuny would have tMie bene- fit of the Pullman rystem, while the pablic would enjoy the benelit of & harmoufous systemn that would carry o man from one end of the country to the oiber. Contracts had expired durlng the past few years, hut they liad all been renewed with the exception of that with the Miehlzan Central, Mr, Mnson sugrested thut Vanderbiil's dual cannection with that road and the Wagner Com- pany would explaln that, Mr. Pulltnan replied that Vanderbilt was the Iargzest owner of sfock In the Wagner Company, and, when the Pullman contracts explred with the Michigan Ceutral, the new contracts were noturally tade with ‘the parties fn Intercst, With this exception, he knew of no case {n which a rallroad conipany had failed to renew its contruct, nud of no cose, without exception, where a rallroad company had gone back to operating its own cars alter onco muking u con- tract with the Pullman Comnapy. Mr, Granger asked Mr. Pullman it the $7,500 earnings mentioned In the contract meant net or gross earnings. Mr. Pullman” replied that they were pross. This amount he mid Mr, Blackatone, President of the Chicago & Alton, hud fouud to be neces- sary to . PAY A REASONANLE INTEREST on the capital, The Pullmun Company bad to take the rlsk of not carning one-half or one- quurter of thut sum. Inother wurds, If the Itou Road would guarantes the Pullman Com- nny $6,000 per car, pross eqrnings, then the {,‘ullm\m Company could assuime the mainte- noove. As the Alton Road did not guaranteo them,y they have the maximum amount Inrge cnough to offsct the amount that the ¢ross carnings mizht go below. Sinee the mak- ingof this contract, he added, the Chicago & Northwestern and the Chicogo, Burlington & Quiney contracts had explred but had boen re- ngw “Mr. Murray asked Mr. Pullman it he could furnish the Cpmmittea with the average earn- ings of each car per annum, Mr. Pullinan sald ho could and would from the statements lylng before him, coples of which would be "furnlshed the Committee he- fore its return. The figures, bo eaid, would show that the Pullman Company had not, as the (Jiobe-Democrat asserted, so large a surplus on hand that it didu’s know swhatfo do with it.

My, Pullman sald he took the actugl money pald out aud made an allewauce of 10 per cent to cover flxed capitol and general expenses, The Chairman uud several other members of the Committee adinitted that they didn't quite get the hang of that depreclation business, wul couldn’t understand how it was that, with a de- preclation, the Company pald its dividends, Mr, Puilman explatued the dividend busfncss at some lengrth, but it was questionablo whether, when he got thru\lxin.(lm Comnittes under- stood It a8 well as the stockholders do when they draw thelr 8 per cent ance in 8o often. As to the other matter, Mr. Puliman explaiued that the surplus which ‘represunted the b por cent depreciation was fnvestod fo additional cars aud equipments, SINOE THE COMPANY WAS ORGANIZED, the total surplus had amounted to some $3,400,000, Noane of this was in cash ar bouds, but all fn cars, An Inventory to-day of the origiual cost of all the Cum&;m 4 property wonld amount to about $12,000,000, and the Habilitles auatuet thut amount were about $5,600,000, 11 atock and bonda, The differencs between the original cost and the amount of stock and bonds [ssued was tho 5 per cont depreciation fund earned, wnd fuvested In the butlding ot cars, as bofore stated, This surplus was what tho Globe-Denocrat sntd the Company didn't know whut to do with, Mr. Mason suggested that Angetl had helped the Comnnny out with that, Mr. Pullmun sald e inade s statement of Augell's defulcation to the stockliolders, stat- fug that the unount, though large, would not futerfere with the rezular bustuess of the Com- puny or its dividonds, because the Company lioped to rvecover st least a portion of the amount taken, und when that was nscertained, thu balance would bo charged agalnst the smount standing to thu crudl of income e count, fnstead of " belng taken out of enrreut reventte, ‘This was vanatrued by soino of the papers, including the New York Zimes, Lo mesn that the Company was earning 80 much woney that the mere mntter of §120,000 was of uo con- sequence, Bo far, the Company had recovered about 00,000 of that gmount, and the balanee would be charged off aguinst the fncome ac- count.

My, Pullman sald this was practically what 1he Committee hnd beforo it, hut it was im- practicable Lo mako tieas ulvisions sccording 1o tata lines, ‘The Committec, he took it, wanted to know what the Compauy was doing aan whole, heeanse It could not regulate the Com- pany in 1llinols without affecting It cverywhere, The Atton Ruad has been taken as a good ex- ampie for the Commitien's guidance, beeauas (L ran mostly In this State, . Mr. Manon isald 1he Committen represented the interests of the State of Tilinols, and ought Lo net for them without regard to the peoplo of other Bfates. Mr, Pultman sald the Company was prac- tleally churged, in this bUL befors” the ouse, with extortion. Now the Company wavo the Committco the result of the husiness of the Chlcago & Alton, which ran aitogether in this Btnte, and this stntement also gave them the benetft of the earninga into Kansas City. In this way the Committea could et a fulr estl- nfate of the business in this Btate. This was a peculfar buainess, ‘I'he Comnpany could not sny 0 the Chicago & Alton Uy It would rin its cars Lo the Stnt?llne nid sgomehody else must run them beyond, cheulwlcu, i malkbng the contract, the Pullman Company had to figzure on the profits aml expenses §u running beyond, Mr. Mason asked IF it wasn't fair to (ake the business of the Fastern roads into conaldera- to h“, Tullman sald that was covered practically by the results of the whola bualness of tho Company. Mr. Mason thought the Cammittes ought to have a atatemout aliowing the expenses ninl the Income of all the roads centerlus hiero, or clsen statemnent showing expenses and incomes of all the ronds the main part of whose lines wus in the State. In other words, was It practizable for the accountant to show ] the amount earncd nnd the amount expended fn inols( Mr. Pullman sald it could be done, but the process would involve other questions nml fig- Aires, Ufe results of which were all_found in tlie Company's annual statements, For Instance, 1t would be vecessary, under Mr, Muson's {den, to figure out the carnings on o line of road fu Minois which mensured just elehteen miles in the Btate, Todo thia he would haye to take o Tine running to New York and Wushington, get the earnlngs amd income, and then sce what those elehteen miles would amount to on thnt basls, 'The Inquiry was practicable enough, but he did not think the results worth the trauble, After some scatterlng talk, the Committee, on Mr. Puilmun's invitation, ascended to ths next story and looked over the mceountant's books for the purpose of verifying the state- ments submitted. ~ ‘Thev found that everything tallled. ‘hey also yent jnto the carninjs de- partment, an fnspection of the books there lend- lurp.v to the snme resnlt,—a complete verlfication of oll the statements previonsly made to them. ‘I'he investigators also examined futo the mat- ter of ealories, Gnding that Mp, Pullmau re- celved $10,800 a year, the Secrotary $2,500, Gen- eral Accountant UE,} ), Suverintendent §5,000, amd the subordinate aflicera In nroportion. Geno- erally speaking, the ealaries strick them as be- ingr pretty falr, but not what mightbe called ex- travagant, OR ANYTRING LIKE IT. By this time lunch had been set in Mr. Pull- man's oflice, and the statesmen fell to with o zest, After lunch {t appeared that thero was a propasition on foot to o to Detrolt fn the afternoon, Mr. Pollman suggesting that he would be Flml to have the Committeo visit the Company’s works In that city, in which thero were several bundred men employed in the con- structfon and ropairs of the Company’s ears, It it should bo decided that It was not conveniont fur the Committes to do so, ke shouid be glad to have them spend as much of the dav as they could {u the otlice in the further exumination of the system and the operations of the Comany's busiuess. Mesars, Thompson, Murray, and Butterworth were in favor of the Detrolt trip, while Messrs, Mangon and Granger thought that ft would involve too much time, The proposition wus finally plven up, and It was deelded to remain here, where oll the neceasary data to maks up the Committeo's re- port can'be obtained os well, aithough the trip would no doubt have given the Commitiee o better fdea of the extent of and axpense - volved in the conatruction and repair of cara, After coming to this concluslon, the Commit- tee apent a counle of hours in fnapeeting such ortions of the bullding as they lind not scen, ncluding the supply department, where they raty something of the expense involved In miain- tainiiy cars, upholatery, cte., ete At 6 o'clock they came together arafn in Mr, Pullman's office, ‘and, after decidlng that a foller uudcmnmflu;; of the subject was requi- site to thelr making such o report e fts lm‘wr- tance and justice to all interests demanded, they ndjourncd to mect this morning at 1{ o'clock. .
