protest that such statements do not represent

urge that there is no business economic ncces
sitv for such legislation Our experience III
states having Full Crew laws shows additional
brakemen are not needed either to promote
safety or to facilitate operations and that chi
povncnt OF men trains when not needed for
service is menace to safety of operation. The
cauipping of all trains with automatic couplcrs
and brakes has eliminated the former principal
duties of brakcmen and improved signalling and
methods of operation have reduced not only the
duties of trainmcn but also the hazards Of the
occupation. Any money paid out i'll employing
additional men. as contemplated by the law,
would be usclcssly expended when II is much
needed for expenditures that will facilitate oper-
atoms and increase their safety. In my Judg-
ment the number of brakemen to be used on a
train should be determined solely by the opcrat-
ING officers of the railroads. 1t is in my opinion
urwisc as well as uneconomic to attempt by
legislation to determine such questions. II it is
felt there should be some supervision of the
matter. it should, in my opinion, be lett to the
determination of the Public Service Commission,
who will act after full knowledge of the cond-

Mr. Darius Miller. President of the Chicago
Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company, replies
as follows:
statement having been made that railroad
officers have expressed the opinion that so-calcd
Full Crew laws have been Of benefit to railroads
in the few states where same have been enacted
take the liberty OF urging you to fully investi-
gate all such reports before relying upon same
and Of expressing universal opinion OF railroad
officers which to my knowledge has never been
qualified that the additional man required by
such bills is unnecessary and imposes upon the
carriers OF the country heavy expense without
any benefit public otherwise resulting there
from The facts show that whenever special
conditions require an additional man the rail
roads have anticipated the necessity or upon IN
vcstipation and order from the Public Service
Commissions have complied with same, but eX-
pericncc shows that such conditions cxccp-
tional and the question IS one that should be
left TO the Public Service Commissions rather
than made the subject OF hard and fast legisla-
ton. At no time have the railroads been more
under necessity of economy than now and this
measure imposing large and burdensome OK
pense without public necessity ought not to be-
come law.

Ex Dividend.

The market for those stocks which sold
eX dividend was AN object of cons siderable
interest Yesterday in spite of the small
signs OF life shown in stocks generally.
Broadly speaking. the rule holds good
that IN bull market stock will eN-
hibit u tendency to make up' the dtNi-
dcnd after IL IL taken off the pIi,. and.
conversely. to decline when a bear mar
ket is in progress. But there ,s no really
sound reason why there shoulH be any
extraordinary movement iu \ stock i'm
nl.diat.ly after II sells eX dividend, ur
that II a movement does happen at su, h u
time it has any special significance. II
may be true that the approach OF tn"
di, idend date usually leads TO some COW
ering by spectators for the decline wro
do not care TO pay the dividend. La that
case the technical position OF the stock
would b. weakened. Taking tn" action OF
steel common Yesterday as an example
it would seem that there had not been
any such development on this occasion.
And Vet II is the conmonest gossip that
an enormous short interest exists IN steel
stock. The explanation may he that the
size Of the short interest has been greatly
exaggerated Or |; may he that III"
present short interest is unusually con
iident Of it's position ard not one to hc.
come nerN Gus over triii"s.

More Reform.

The reform spirit OF the stock Exchange
authorities does not Seem to Nag. although
less In heard on the subject. In fact the
zeal with which new measures of improve
ment are being sought after is bringing
criticism from some quarters that the
thing Is being somewhat oyerdone and that
the exchange Is driving away business
unnecessarily. The latest move in the
direction OF reform In reported to concern
itself with the system OF branch offices
The committee on arrangements. 1t il said,
has been considering for the last SIX weeks
whether it would not he advisable to
abolish all branch offices except those in
charge OF u resident partner OF the firm
The question OF some such rule has come
up before when abuse OF the branch Office
system has allowed practices to creep In
which would not he tolerated downtown.
The Hughes commission advised the ex-
change authorities TO look into that matter
closely and since then there has been an
attempt to keep watch on the activities
OF the branch offices The difficulty has
been in properly fixing the responsibility
for an improperly conducted branch office.
