O P Sweringen testified at the interstate commerce commission hearing that paper profits totaling about 16 812 000 were the measure of gains accruing to him and his brother M J Van Sweringen and associates from their railroad holdings. He noted these figures exclude dividends and promised further figures later. The accounting traced back to 1916 when they gained control of the Nickel Plate and showed asset refinancing, stock issues, and the evolution of their holdings in related companies. The cross examination touched on personal investments and the broader plan to fuse Nickel Plate with several other lines, which will be addressed in future sessions.
