Based on the complaints of many individuals, the district attorney has called a public hearing, and it any concern dealing in ice has been found to have acted con- trary to the laws of this State, ana 1 evidence is produced to show that this is so, the Taw will take its course, This is perfectly proper and as it should be; but Ws keel ahd of which | am President resents most emphatically the prejudging of such a eke and pro- tests the unfairness with which it has been singled cut and attacked in the publi¢e Press on the claims and assumptions of irresponsible individuals, There Is No Monopoly! The Knickerbocker Ice Company does about 38% of the business in Greater New York. The other 62% is supplied by manufacturers of ice and natural ice dealers who bring their ice from the Hudson River. Of the manufacturers, there is in Manhattan a daily capacity of 3,545 tons, of which the Knickerbocker Ice Company directly and indirectly operates 38 5-10%,. A H nthe Bronx there is a daily capacity of 1,405 tons, of which the Knickerbocker Ice Company directly and indirectly operates none. ; In the Borough of Brooklyn, with a daily capacity of 3,210 tons, the Knicker- bocker Ice Company directly and indirectly operates 24%. F In the Borough of Queens, with a daily capacity of 530 tons,the Knickerbocker Ice Company directly and indirectly operates none. : In the bi srough of Richmond, there is a daily capacity of 180 tons, of which the Knickerbocker Ice Company directly and indirectly operates none, In the natural ice business, there are 43 unloading bridges in Manhattan and Bronx, of which the Knickerbocker [ce Company directly and ieee operates 16, In Brcoklyn, there are 20 unloading berths, of which the Knickerbocker Ice Company directly and indirectly operates 11. ‘ during more than half the year manufactured ice supplies fully four-fifths of the regular demand. ‘The capacity of all these manufacturing plants is 8,870 tons a day, or a capacity of 2,661,000 tons, of which the Knickerbocker Ice Company handles directly and | indirectly but 25 6-10%. Natural ice is largely a supplement to the manufactured ice in the heated season. ; ett On the Fourth of July we had 28,000 tons of natural ice melting in our pares) in preparation for normal July weather, as compared to 20,000 tons the same day last year. The heavy demand thrown upon us exhausted not only the daily pro» duction of our plants, our daily shipments from the Hudson River, but also this reserve supply, so that we were compelled to refuse ice to anybody who was not a regular customer, in order to be able to carry out our contracts, legal and moral. No organization made up of human units is capable of 100% increased demands upon its resources, can maintain it for any length of time, and that is just what hap- pened in the recent hot spel. It is but fair to us to state that what has occurred in New York during this hot spell has occurred in practically every large city in the United States. 4 / , We are dealing in a perishable commodity which loses 40% in hot weather, be- tween the time it is loaded and delivered in New York, so it is absolutely impossible to carry a supply large enough to meet such a demand as that of the last two weeks, without such a loss as to make a prohibitive price for ice. Is This Greed? Not only did we supply the normal amount of ice usual at this time of the year, but we actually delivered to the trade in New York 13,000 tons more than during the same period of last year, which was a very hot period, and of these 13,000 tons 7,000 were given to other retailers, who are in competition with us in the same class of business, against 6,000 tons to our 9wn wagons. If we were unable to supply the demand of our regular customers, how can we be expected to supply the demands of other people's customers until the demands of our own regular customers are satisfied! é We are proud of the fact that during the first 15 days of July this year, we supplied the public with 22,000 tons more ice than during the same period of 1907; 15,000 tons more than the same period of 1908; 26,000 tons more than the same period of 1909; 15,000 tons more than the same period of 1910, and in doing this, more than half of this amount was given to competitive retailers, _ This Company maintains an organization capable of handling the business which it normally does, but in the unprecedented hot spell which we have just had the inability of its competitors to supply their own trade has thrown upon us double the amount of anything that our resources could supply, having proper regard for our own trade which depends upon us normally. i We never cl.imed a scarcity of barges, tugs or supply in our icehouses. It was orily our inability in the short time allowed to get the ice to market. That our facilities were ample for any ordinary demand is evidenced by the fact that the recent normal weather has put us in normal condition again, We had a larger supply on hand the 1st of July than we had at this time last year, when we had an unusually hot spell, and last year our supply was ample, and we had every reason to believe it would be ample this year, and but for the inability of our competitors to take care of their trade we should have been able to take care of ours reasonably well; but it was not possible, in the short time allowed, to secure experienced men to increase our loading capacity sufficiently to meet the sudden and excessive demand made up Why Condemn Us Off-Hand? Now we submit, in all fairness, that we should not be criticised for not doing the impossible, nor should we be held responsible for the failure of our competitors to supply their trade, nor shoula we be expected to deny ice to our regular Custom- ers in order to take care of transient business. That we have shown no disposition to take advantage of the situation is evidenced by our not advancing the price to the public, but have maintained the same price to the retail trade in New York that was in operation prior to the hot spell. The only advance made has been a half a dollar a ton at the bridge, to offset the extraordinary efforts and expenditure we have made to get the ice here, 1 submat that we are entitled to fair play in the public press, as we know we will have from the public when they are supplied with the fa In 1907 this Company paid nothis shinvested, In 1908 it If this money hi: reer upon the inves! tunity to get any 7 8 $15,000,000 Cumulative Preferred Stock, which repres 11909 it paid 149%; in 1910 it paid 144%; New York City Bonds, it would have paid in 1911, 4 areturnm W inight have wished for our ice during the past week, ir smuall profit, as show , have kept the price reasonable, selling anxious to sell every ton we can, Furthermore, we ly nd We deny the accusation of trafficking in the sufferings of the multitude we ure tryiilg our utmost to serve, WESLEY M.
