One Year... One Month.. seeeeeeesNO, 18,897 ANOTHER JOLT FOR STOCKHOLDERS. HE New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad has cut its annual dividend basis from 8 to 6 per cent. For cighteen years the rate has been 8 per cent. For twenty years before that the rate was 10 per cent. All these years | thousands of small stockholders, particularly in New England, have | looked trustingly to this railroad for considerable part of their in- comes. ‘They will feel the cut sadly. Moreover, in the old days, their stock was worth os high as $289 a share. This month it has dropped an bow as $104. The directors had nothing to say regarding the dividend reduc tion. They will have to be satisfied with the usual reasons. It is as- gumed that extensive improvements, safety appliances, new rails, erom overs, etc., “have eaten heavily into operating income.” In the Nght of recent events, however, cap the small stockholders help asking themeelves certain bitter questions? Under Mr. Mellen’s management the New Haven road became an immensely “powerful” corporation. It became the champion ab- sorber and consolidator of New England. It consolidated foreign reeds. It annexed steamship lines. It collected trolley lines and @eotric plants. It even proposed to build summer hotels. Mr. Mellen became the most brilliant railroad president in this pert of the country. He dazzled his own stockholders. He and his road seemed to be about the biggest things in New England. . And now? Mr. Mellen’s policy has been weighed in the balance emf found gravely wanting. Shares in Mr. Mellen’s railroad are @erth considerably Jess than helf what they used to be. Mr. Mellen’s Sheusands of trusting employers find their dividends cut 25 per cent. , Why is it that brilliant railroad presidents like Mr. Mellen seem tebe a boon to everybody except their stockholders? 4 ‘To think we should have sept a non-union Ambassador to the Court of St. Jamies’s! .
