Mitten te the shareholders of the I'. li. T. Com pany contains tin appeal for their indorse inderse ment of his mnnagemctn of their pre; erty and for the electien of Uireeters at the an nual meeting in March who will authurUc him te ceutlnue what h has bguu. The tinancial tatem-nt of AV. C. Dunbar. vbtch necempana'5 the report, edfht te convince every shareholder that h! lnteret ' li tied up with a continuance of the Mitten policy. The company had " deficit of mere than $1,000,000 in 1P10. Since tli-n W,S00,000 hna been paid in dividend and W.700,00 has been nut back into the prnp ty. The earnings are new approximately ?3,000,00O a year. Mr. Mitten premlci te pay a dividend of t' per cent this ycat if he is continued in power, and as the earnitiRS are increatlngt and the cost of operation N decreasing, his prcm!e seems te be based en a reasonable expectation of his ability te keep it. He alce a--!ss the shareholder-, te autherise him te pa u benn.s of net te exceed 10 per cenr te the rmphnes ismdl ismdl tlened en the ceutinuanfe of their faithful service. They deene this coinpenalien. i'i hi'' opinion, because without their co-operation It would have been impo.sMble for the com pany te have escaped bankruptcy. Indeed. e Mr, Dunbar sajs. if the cars hud been operated without the co-operation of tl. f men in economies it veuld have required a j' ten-cent fare te have earned what has bui earned at the present rate of fare. In 1910 it took 0.21 per cent of the oi ei ratlnR revenues te pay for accident.1-. In 1921 it took but 2.,"i." per cent Thi.s marine lis been brettjlit about directly by greater care en the part of the men, and the greater care ha ben Induced I.y tnking the men Inte partnership in the management and consulting them about the conditions of their employment. In the ten years during which Mr. Mitten fins been In control the men hnve accumulated n saving fund of - $1,000,000 and have bought collectively 0,000 share- of the company's stock. If the shareholders wish te undo all this (they can undo it very ee.sih by electing director!) who will oust Mr. Mitten. 4Iew It Beems. outside of Philadelphia is illustrated by the comment of the Chicago Journal en the efforts of the anti-Mitten stockholder? te oust Inn. "Admitting that dividend" cannot be earned without a s,ieilal effort n the part of the cmp!ee." . the Journal, "they want the special eiTert without pa -lmj for it. They .ee only the 'investment' of mene. paid for lock and never consider the dally investment of brains and energ and loyalty en the part of thousands of empleyes." The labor vim i eipr-'-sed b the Pro Pre Sres'ive Laber World of inn eit.. uhieh iays: "Desplte the fact that Mitten was the best little 'union-buster' that ever came te I'hili.dclphfa, it is manif'sf that cen the labor union : in sthy is back of Mitten in Ids flsht asr.inst the five director-..
