For the first time in several days

market for New York account, due to
the agreement reached between the
railroad presidents and their employees
to abide by the provisions of the New

provide means for amicable adjustment
of all wage disputes IN future. The
opening in this market was a little
more active than formerly, and prices
showed good gains over Mondays
closing Union Pacific, Canadian Pa
cific and Reading showed the greatest
strength. Smelters was an exception
to the rule, opening at 59A and selling
down to 591s. Trading was very light

more than 1900 shares London. which

no conclusion over institution of suit

SAN DIEGO GAS STOCK DENIED

The railroad commission rendered
decision yesterday denying the appH-
cation of the San Diego Consolidated
Gas and Electric company to issue 3,14S
shares of its common capital stock of
the par value of $314,S00. The corpora
tfon applied for authority to issue the
stock to pay: the discount upon its
bonds issued since March, 1909. The
commission decides that the discount
on bonds should be made up out of the
corporation s income pro rated over
series of years and should not be capt-
taliZed by an issue of stock.
The commission states that it is its
policy TO authorize stock for additions
and betterments to corporations IA
cilities, or for the purpose of paying
Indebtedness incurred in the construc-
tiOn of additional facilities. 1t finds.
however, in the present case that the
San Diego company desires to use the
the purpose of paying the discount upon
its bonds. =
The commission finds that in addition
TO IT'S regular Z per- cent dividend the
san Diego company paid an extra divi-
.dend in 1912 in the sum of 1855, 600, and
that this dividend went to- it's stock
holder. the Standard Gas and Electric
company. The commission finds fur
ther that the San Diego Consolidated
Gas and Electric company now owes. to
the STANDARD Gas and. Electric company
large sum of money. which it pro-
poses TO liquidate from the. sale of the
stock. The commission expresses the
opinion that if the San Diego company
had used the large surplus in paying
stead of declaring an extra dividend
II would not now be put ito. the neces-
sity of seeking to capitalize its bond
discount.
