NEW INDUSTRY FOR GREENSBORO
American Grass Carpet Irvine Com
pany Establishes Southern Head
quarters-DeIny in Federal Build
ing improvements.
Especial TO The Messenger

Greensboro. N. c.. January @
Greensboro becomes headquarters for
North and South Carolina for a new
and very important industry-the
American Grass Carpet Irvine onpd
ny. Mr.. c. c.. Percy, of that compa-
ny, Is already here for the pLrpos If
opening up his selling office. which
will doubtless be with the Southern
Import and Commission Company. The
plants of the American Carpet Twiue
Company are mainly IN the west IL
states like Wisconsin and Minnesota,
but a factory covering thirteen acres
Is now in course of erection at GlendaIe,
Long Island. n. Y. The carpet made
by the company is said to be cheaper
than the ordinary carpet and Of better
wearing qualities than mating and the
product of the company is also used for
wall covering in place OF paper and tn
company represented by Mr.. Percy IL
the only one OF the kird in the United
States. Its opening Of a branch in this
city adds materially TO Greensboro'S
already established reputation as 4
carpet center.
There has been some disappointment
here at the slowness of the government
in commencing preparations for the
repairs and Improvements Of the public
buildings. Judge Boyd, a few days ago
wrote Supervising Architect Taylor,
of the treasury department, inquiring
the cause of the delay and a letter from
Mr.. Taylor received in reply states that
the drawings for the proposed extern
sion to the building should have been
completed some time ago and that the
office has regretted the delay sufficient
Iy to cause the draup~tsman who was
placed in charge of the drawings to
lose his position and the letter says
further that the drawings ara now be-
ing pushed as rapidly as possible
though at least six weeks must elapSe
before some can be completed and the
work placed on the market. These
drawings contemplate not only an eX-
tension at the rear of the building, but
an additional story to the present
structure.

COAL COMPANIES COMBINE
An Alliance Formed Consolidating
Three Mammoth Concerns.

Baltimore, January 6.-Three Of the
biggest "a companies in the United
States today formed an alliance which
for all practical purposes will be Il
combination. The companies involved
are:
The Consolidation Coal Company, of
Maryland; the Fairmont Coal Com
Coal Company, of Pennsylvania. The
combined capital stock companies Of
$751; $50, 600 is as follows:
Consolidation $40, $50, 600, Somerset s4,-
900, 600; Fairmont and its subsidiary
companies SIT. 500, 900.
The combined output Of the three
companies is $500, 900 tons a year, as
follows:
Consolidation 1000, 900; Somerset L.
500, 900; Fairmont 5000, Oo0..
Announcement of his commercial
move allowed a meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Consolidation Coal Com
pany in this city today. The merging
of the three companies, it is stated, is
not III the nature of general combina-
ton, but merely for the consolidation
Of the selling interests and in order 20
have all three under the same execu-
tive management. Each company, it
10 said, will be conducted separately as
before. but upon the board Of directors
Of each will be representatives of the
other two.
c. w. Watson, president of the Fair
O Coal Company, was elected pres.
ident of the consolidated companies
and representatives of each company
were chosen on the board of the other
contracting companies. c.. x. Lord,
he retiring president of the Consolida-
ton Goa Company was chosen chair
man Of the directing board of directors
of the new company.

among other things, to make dilligenI
investigation into the operations and
q of all corporations, combina-
tons n concerns engaged in inter
state or foreign commerce..
Such a commission should have au-
thority to inquire into the management
of the business of such corporations
and concerns, TO keep itself informed
as TO the manner and method in which
the same is conducted and to obtain
from such concerns full and complete
information necessary to enable the
commission to perform the duties and
carry out the objects for which it is
created. AS there are no NEAR now
provided by law for compelling testi-
mOny, such a law now provides that 90
persons should be excused from attend
ing and testifying Or from producing
books, papers, contracts, and docd-
ments before such commission or the
courts.
"Of course, the general 81 heme Of
legislation to correct trust abuses
should be developed with great care,
for it is not nearly So important to act
quickly as to act wisely. Primarily,
the question of the power of congress
to reach what the Sherman act seems
to have missed, should be authorita-
lively determined. as upon that propo-
sitiOn the whole structure Of effective.
regulative legislation must rest. We
should at once take the first steps by a
law aimed at what we certainly know
ito be unreasonable practices directly re
strictive of freedom OF upon
which the fundamental question can be
raised by a law comforting upon the
government a general supervisory pow
er as above outlined.
Another step in legislation which I
earnestly recommend and which will.
enacted. greatly hasten a solution Of the
problem, is that an act be passed as
soon as possible to speed the final de-
cisiOn of cases now pending n others
that may be raised under the antitrust
law. l refer to an act to enable the
attorney general to ecu the or ginai
hearing by Il full bench Of II { circuit
judges in the circuit wherein is pend
ing any suit brought by the Unitel
States under the antitrust law which
the attorney general certified TO the
court 10 involve questions of great
public importance and giving an ap-
peal from their decision directly to the
supreme court Of the United States"
1T is not TOO much to say that with
these gaps closed the scheme Of gov
ernmental regulation viii be completes:
but it is clear hat without some SINH
lar legislation it would continue to 70
inadequate. And such gis ton viii
make q lone. first stride in advance"

GREAT BRITAIN OBJECTS
II Russian Ships Use the DardaneIIe
n Will Demand the Privilege.

Constantinople, January 6.-Great
Britain has vigorously protested to the
Turkish government against the per-
mission granted in September last to
four unarmed Russian torpedo BOAT de-
stroyers to pass through the OAR
.danelles, into the Black sea, under the
commercial flag Of Russia. These YES
sells were about to start on the proposed
trip. The British note says the pas
sage Of the Daranelles by the torpedo
boat destrOyers would be a violation If
the existing International treaties, and
that If Russian warships are thus al
owed to use the Dardanelles, Great
Britain will reserve the right to de-
.nand similar privileges. The protest
has caused irritation in Russian
circles and concern on the part of the
Turkish authorities, who fear that 9TH
ar poyers will follow the example of
Great Britain.

TO INCREASE CAPITAL
PennsyIvnnia Road Wants to In
crease capitalization to 400,
D o

Philadelphia, January O. The call
for the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, to be held March 10th, is
sued today, contains a notification that
the shareholders will be asked to au-
thorize an increase in the capital stock
TO more than $500, 900, 900. or nearly
double the amount now outstanding.
The following official statement was
issued from the company's office to-
night:
The object Of the notice to stock
holders is to provide sufficient working
capital for the future and give the
board the power to issue the same,
from time to time, as the corporate
needs Of the company may require.
The present outstanding capital stock is
about S2O3, 900, 900 and about $685. 900, coo
more have to be reserved for the COLI
vertible bonds that We're issued last
year. making about s23S, 900, GOO in all.
and leaving~onIy about l 3.0G0, 000 Of SUI
plus stock available.
1T is, therefore, deemed prudent 20
GO HOW What was UOjlS dDoul Unity
years ago; that is IN 1875, when the
stockholders practically authorized the
stock TO be increased to about double
the amour then outstanding, to be is
sued at such time as it may be needed
and also give the board the power 10
issue bonds TO the same aggregate
amount from time to time, but not in
excess at any time of its outstanding
capital stock"
The Increase capitalization is deemed
necessary because of the improve
ments contemplated. While the New
York tunnel is to be built by another
the Pennsylvania railroad
will own all the stock, and at least $780,
900. 900 would be used for this purpose.
There will be several dollars spent in
Washington and $50. 900. 600 on perma-
lent Improvements on the line Of the
road.
