Brutal Chicane

Mr.. Blair says that the New Haven and Bos
ton Maine slaughter in New England investors
was the most cruel thing that has been
perpetrated on New England. He is right. But

find that since Steel Common sold at $95 there
has been a continuous. systematic press-agented,
wash sale unloading OF il to investors every
where-awake to find that the price is nil-they

Shattering an Idol

decline in the price Of New Haven to 75. 1t has
touched the level which the majority of people
in the street thought ii would a 4 per cent

lieved New Haven cheap at par There is
no question but that the dividend will be
reduced to per cent at least, but the belief is
growing that IL may be necessary to cut off the
dividend wholly while the road is in the rehabili-
tation stage.
With the decline in New Haven the wave of
denunciation of men and methods that caused
its collapse has been growing. Investors are

Marionetted Finance


New Haven was a fine old property a Few
years ago. 1t solid. 1t became a pet"
Someone pumped it full Of water and 1t is
waterlogged. Someone pumped Steel full OF
water at the outset and sold the water at cham
pagne prices. Now they say the water has been
squeezed out of Steel Perhaps it has been, but
no one has yet heard that people who have gone
down into Wall Street have got their feet wet.
When the water is squeezed out of Steel every
on in Wall Street will put on golOshes.
The price OF New Haven permitted
slump to IS because investors hold the stock.
The price OF Steel Common has been held BY
main strength in all probability because the pool
in 1t is up to its neck in stock The Wall
Street journal had article Saturday which
should be read by New England people who hold
Steel Common for an investment" 1t says
Based upon prices and shipments the Steel
Corporation will do well If it can show the full
5 per cent earned the common stock after
this month. 1t has to contend with increasing
operating costs, and with lower prices and de-
creased shipments sharp contraction in income
should not surprise shareholders"
The following from the Wall Street journal
also shows how the water has been squeezed
out OF Steel:
In connection with United States Steers
dividend prospects, it is interesting to note that
including this year the Steel Corporation will
have spent. in the last three years nearly $780,
100000 for new construction. Surplus after
dividends in the period. this year esti-
mated. will amount to, approximately. $4,000
600. Therefore the Steel Corporations expen-
dtures for construction in three years have
ceeded final surplus by about s57, 900 600. Had
the corporation appropriated from surplus suf-
hcient money to cover the three years expendi-
lures il would have been compelled to report a
deficit Of s57.0OO,00O. A large part of the
ey for construction purposes over the last three
years came from proceeds of bond sales"
That is. the water has been squeezed out at
one end Of the Steel Corporation and turned into
bonds at the other. The trouble with New Ha-
ven is its financing. The pets" bear signs of
