The offer of 81 65 per day is a reduc-
tion of 35 to GO cents day under the
price paid to those who have left the
road and is taken by some to indicate
the basis on which the railroads will
make an ultimate settlement. In fact
it has been said that the strike, if it
shall fail. will put the labor movement
in Boston back n dozen years. 1t is
claimed that it has taken IL years for
the freight handlers to work up wages
from SITE, the price paid in 1890, to 81
and $2.25, the prices paid before this
strike. 1t is expected that the rate
named by the Boston & Maine will be
adopted by other lines.

President Hart of the New York, New

The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company has
passed the dividend on the common stock, and
the American Ice Company has passed the divi-
dend on its preferred stock In the case Of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company the quarterly
dividend was not declared because ii was not
earned while the American Ice directors an
slounced that they needed the money to extin-
guish the oompanys floating debt. The Colo
rado Fuel and Iron Company, Ike the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron Company. began dividends
OF its common stock before the condition Of the
property and its earning power justified such
payments. The passing Of the dividend on Col
orado Fuel and American Ice is not an indica
ton of an adverse change in the countTys in
custrial prosperity. Poor management in indus
trial companies will cut of dividends in the
best OF times. Il is held in many quarters that
the United States Steel Corporation began diVi-
dends on its common stock too soon after or
ganization and in view of the recent bond issue
rnuddle this criticism seems just 1t was
ported yesterday that at the United States Steel
meeting next Tuesday. the dividend the COM
mon stock would be passed, but Of course the
rumor received no official confirmation.
II is interesting TO note that all industrial
companies are not poorly managed and that
many conservatively handled concerns are able
to increase rather than decrease returns to their
stockholders Companies that accumulate
large working capital from earnings before pay
ing big dividends the common shares do
not find il necessary to issue bonds 10 disap-
point the stock owners. Jnfortunat tely. adverse
developments in the badly managed industrials
have served TO keep down the market value Of
the securities Of carefully managed concerns
prices seek level more in proportion intrin-
