SCHWAB PLEADS
TO HOLD WORKHEN
Urges Upon Secretary Met
calf Necessity for Keeping
Skilled Men.

Charles N. Schwab. principal owner,
and =. s. Meiges, general manager Of
the Bethlehem Steel Company, called
on Secretary Metcalf Of the navy today
to ask the cooperation Of the Navy De
partment in maintaining the present
force Of wOrkmen at the various plants
Of the Bethlehem Steel Company.
Mr.. Schwab called attention to the
fact that the work being done under
contract for the Government is but a
fraction OF the average amount. and
unless additional contracts are obtained
a portion OF the skilled mechanics. who
are specialists on gun forgings and steel
armoT, who have been carefully selected
for years past, are apt to be dismissed.
This, ne said. would be a detriment not
only TO the Bethlehem company. but TO
the Navy Department. The Bethlehem
company is now doing but one-tenth of
the amount of naval work they had
under way a year ago.
Mr.. Schwab announced that during
the coming year $6O0OO 600 will be expend-
ed in improvements on the steel plant
at Mare Island Cal.
This plant, he says, is the most profit
able Of all those in operation by the
Bethlehem Company. Drydocks viii be
put in. he says, and additions viii be
made IN the mechanical equipment. The
total force OF men now employed by the
Bethlehem Company Is 10000 OF whom
10000 are at the Bethlehem plant
In speaking Of the recent financial
furry, Mr.. SchWab gave II as his opin-
ion that conditions in general were
greatly improved and the financial OUT
look is much more hopeful. There has
been a big improvement in the last few
weeks.

LOCAL SECURITIES
IN LIGHT REQUEST
Bonds of Washington Rail
way II to 70 3-4-Pre-
ferred Stock 70.

The chief business on the local Stock
Exchange was in the per cent bonds
OF the Washington Railway nd Electric
Company. The opening price was u, at
which $1,000 sold. and then 5000 at 1875
and finally $1,000 a 1854. These were
the only bond transactions.
Small sales OF Railway common were
reported at 241s and of the preferred at
20. The best bid for Capital Traction
was I'VE, with 1l9 asked. There We're
bids Of 60IA for Washington Gas. with
81 asked Small sales were made at
81 for Greene Cananea, AS for American
Exchange National Bank, and 80 10 149
for Commercial National stock.
It is evident that the investment de-
mand is light and tile chances seem to
favor a duli market for some time to
come. IL is fortunate that there ism (
much stock pressing for a market.

'.The next thing that happened In this

from HObsou. Robson said II wasn't
necessary for me to talk 20 him about
submarines. I asked him how he was
getting on in his race for a place on
Naval Affairs, and offered TO help him
If I could. He said there was nothing
I could do. and IL wasn't proper for me

NEW YORK STOCKS
RATHER UNSETTLED
COppers Are Strong and
Many Rails Off Between
One-Quarter and One
Half Point.

NEW YORK. March 1T-Thers was
considerable hesitation evidenced in the
morning trade, the trend OF the market
being uncertain. and the trade waiting
for a more settled condition. 1t was the
first show of doubt or hesitation IN a
week. and was the aftermath of the
radical change in market tone yesterday
afternoon. on sober second thought the
cause of the recent advance cannot be
located. unless as a result of the up
town bun movement and the feeling
that Washington was a friend rather
than an enemy OF the Stock Exchange
and its methods. the feeling in this case
being questionable. TO say the least.
While It is scarcely probable that Con-
gress will enact laws that viii be vi
tally antagonistic to tho New York
stock Exchange. that body need expect
no favorftism while the Tillman resOlu-
ton, adopted yesterday, regarding the
