cent and stock s62,000,00. Later addi-
tional bonds were issued by the vari-
| GUS companies, which brought the
amount to $21. .624, 900. A greater pro-
portion of these bonds are held by
! private individuals, but the stock OF
all is owned by the Consolidated
| Steamship company.
AS soon as the consolidation was
effected a contract was made for the
construction of a number of addi-
| tional steamships. and the first pro-
duction in this line was the Harvard
and Yale, which ran between this city
and New York for two months last
fall. The financial conditions of the
Consolidated Steamship company dur
ing the latter part of the summer be-
gan to attract attention, especially
when it was learned that over $4,000. 900
had been taken from the earnings of
the six companies in order to pay for
the Harvard and Yale.
Resignation Of Morse
month later came the crash in
Wall street and the resignation of Mr..
Morse from a number of financial in
stitutions in New York. The market
price of the consolidated 4 per cent
bonds declined rapidly, and in Mo-
vember protection committee was

Through the efforts of this commit
tee the former owners of the four New
York lines-the Ward, Clyde, Mallory
and New York and Porto Rico
formed to meet the current bills OF
these lines, provided bonds of each
were pooled on October 3.
The floating indebtedness of the Con-
solidated Steamship company was
comparatively small. but there were a
number of bills and installments on
steamships In course OF construction
coming due, notably s250,000 on Jaflu-
airy 1, 1908, and 100000 on January l,
1909.
This years claim was paid, but ii
came from the earnings of the COM
pany for the previous year, leaving SO
much less for coming operating ex-
penses. This lack of money in this
treasury during the past few weeks
necessitated postponement of payment
of comparatively small bills, and final
ly resulted in the application for a
receiver today by interests understood
to be friendly TO the corporations.
The protection committee has been
working hard upon a plan of reorgan-
ization for the Consolidated Steamship
company.

RAIL WAYS TO
ACT AT ONCE
SPECIAL MEETING CALLED Tc
CLEAR siDETRAcKs
CARS, LONG UNUSED, MAY NOW
BE UTILIZED
A. r. A. VIII Gather February in
Chicago and Solve Problem of
Putting $4,000 Idle Freight
Carriers to Use
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Jan. So.--A special meet
ing of the American Railway. associa-
ton has been called for Chicago on
February z for TIE purpose of adopt
ing measures to stop the tremendous
loss occasioned by the present move
ment of empty cars on the railroads OF
the country.
1t is the first special meeting in the
history of the association, and the
emergency is regarded as great.
1t is stated that tince the falling off
in traffic began several million dol
lars have been wasted by the railroads
in their frantic efforts to send the
empty cars of ,ther railroads home,
and thereby escape the penalty of so
cents a day for the use of a foreign
fear.
This penalty was imposed by the as
ISOLATION less than one year ago to
accomplish the very thing which the
railroads are now anxious to stop.
At the time that the 80 cents penalty
was imposed, however, the railroads
were more than 10000 cars short of the
number required to take care of the
traffic offered.
Situation Is Worse
1t was therefore desired to insure
the speedy return of freight equip
ment to the road owning the cars and
to prevent the roads, which we're short
of equipment, from retaining and using
cars belonging to other lines.
Now the situatio-- has so materially
changed that there are at least 100000
idle freight cars in the country, and
no road desires the speedy return of
its equipment.
1t is stated that fully one-fifth of
the entire freight lear movement re-
Gently has been lat of empty cars be-
ing hurried to the owning or home
roads. This movement costs an im-
mense amount of money, and the rail-
roads have come to the conclusion that
it would be better TO permit the cars
to remain where they are until sthey
are needed.
1t Is therefore purposed to suspend
the operation o. the per diem rules,
beginning March /, and to continue un-
til the situation again demands a PEN
atty. Railroad men declare that the
present situation has never had a
parallel.
