Mont Glare Shops in Operation

At the Mont Clare shops OF the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad, the largest
plant OF the system, 1000 men an
swered the morning whistle Monday
morning and returned to full days of
work, to regular hours and to wages
which they enjoyed before the depres-
sion of the last few months, growing
out OF the European war, necessi, ated
retrenchment. This means that there
are about 1900 more men at work
now than last week. Since the time
last fall when the general lay-ofs was
made, following the completion of or
season repair work, only about 500
men have been employed at Mont
Clare. and not all of these regularly.
The opening of Mont Clare under
normal conditions and other shops
throughout the entire Baltimore G.
Ohio system is significant of the awak-
ened business and financial activity
OF the country, and to large extent
is the outgrowth of the recent decis-
ion OF the interstate commerce COM
mission to allow eastern trunk line
roads the first per cent freight rate
increase.
The work thus given approximate
ly 1000 men will go a long way to
lift from Baltimore the burden o. the
unemployed.

U. $. Trade Now Nears High Tide

NEW YORK, Dec. 30-"The wheels
that grind American prosperity are
turning. Already they are well under
way. They are going more rapidly
every day. Our credit system, fast APP
preaching stability, daily is giving the
wheels of industry added impetus"
Such is the view held by Charles
Ranlett Flint, one of Americas great
est international merchants, VINO is
second to none in his familiarity with
this country's foreign trade.
AS a member of Flint & Co., ship
builders and owners, c. r. Flint
knows in detail what the European
war means to world shipping. AS the
organizer Of companies and corpora
tions in this country representing
more than s100,OOO,O0O, he realizes
each vulnerable spot in Americas in
dustrial armor found by the Old
World conflict.
Il think prosperity is beginning TO
manifest itself everywhere in the
United States" the merchant said.
Exports of munitions and provi-
sions of war to the belligerent powers
have become enormous I'm the last two
months. 1t was those exports which
first set the wheels of Americas in
dustry in motion. Once started. our
industry has taken care of itself.
THE prosperity cannot become To-
Called, as might be thought Where
a mill or factory is running at full
speed or on double shifts, the dealers
In retail goods are well patronizGd by
the workers. From the retailers the
city jobber gets share of the BROS
perity.
Thus around a circle OF trade,
prosperity reaches the industries not
called upon by the European buyers.
"Of almost equal Importance with
our exports to the beliigerents are our
exports to those neutral countries
which formerly counted on the now
fighting countries for imports. Our
success in those fields has been very
satisfactory.
There is only one great break to
our trade expansion. That is the
present situation i'm world credits
Because foreign merchants can
not get much credit in this country
their orders are not as large as they
would like to make them.
"Howeve~, our money market now
is easier and our credit system less
shaky. As a result. we gradually are
extending more and more credit. The
large jump in exports i'm the last two
months largely is due to this fact.
There looms no reason ahead why our
export figures should not continue on
their accelerated upward path"

The annual meeting of the intercol- legiate football rules committee will be held in New York today. The four ,een members, representing a majority of the colleges and universities of the country are not expected to advo- cate any radical change or new rules, but there will be 3. number of changes in the phraseology of the code in or der to secure a clearer interpretation of the regulations
 Suggestions and discussion relative to the forward pass, numbering of players. setting back of goal posts, the kickout following touchdown and substitution of players. will occupy the attention of the committee during the two days session. What action, if any, is taken on these points cannot be forecast. but any resolution adopted will not radically alter the game.
 Reports from all portions of the United States last season convinced the members of the committee that the game as played under the present rules was satisfactory to both parti- cipants and spectators.

FOOTBALL COMMITTEE MEETS TODAY
No Radical Change Rules Expected at Annual Meeting of
 Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee Which Meets in New York-Reports Show That the Game Played Under the Present Rules Was Satisfactory Last Season.

in the talk of men who haven't a cent interested in the game It would be a lot more to the point to hear what the men who have thousands of dollars in vested have to say and what they have to offer for the salvation of baseball in New England.
 Ban Johnson's threat of keeping James H. Clarkin out of organized baseball are of little avail at this late date. according to the expressions of MT Clarkin has already announced an uItimatunl to the directors of the Eastern association to the effect that he will close up his ball park and keep it closed before he will be forced into a six club league by men who in the Eastern association Said Mir. Clarhin when told of the reported threat of Ban Johnson:
 Neither Ban Johnson, Gene Mo Cam nor anybody else can scare me from the position l have taken re- garding my connection with baseball in the Eastern association. What do from now on is nobody's business but my own. So far neither the East ern association nor the proposed new Federal league offers anything of value to a man with money invested in minor league baseball in New Eng land.
 T tried to have the Eastern asso- citation either suspend for a season. along with Mir. Carey and MT. Cam eron. or look into the question of forming a merger with New England league clubs and my efforts were of no avail. I want to give the people of Hartford the kind of baseball to which a city of this size is entitled. It can be done through merger, but it cannot be done through any six club league, which the Eastern asso- citation now proposes. l told the di- reCtors at the meeting this week that would shut down my park rather than go into any such league. and that I would close the gates and not even rent the ground to the league. Any gumshce work by Gene McCann in his visits to Ban Johnson will hare no effect on me.
 T stand ready to give Hartford good baseball, when the conditions are such that it can be achieved. No such conditions exist at this time, either in the Eastern association or the Federal proposition. Therefore, 1 have nothing further to say. except that Ban Johnson could do much worse than pay a little attention to what is going on in this section of the base ball country"

PLANT CONFIRMS RUmoR
That He Will Fight the Feds in This Section to Finish-Clarkin FaVors a Merger.

Manager H. Eugene McCann Of the New London team. after visit to his employer. Commodore Morton F. Plant, in New oFk, confirmed the story that the New London owner is prepared to fight the Federal league in this section to a finish, and use the ammunition that makes the world go round, the real mazuna. MT. Plant is @ bona ffde millionaire, while the Feds man of millions for the proposed league this way. Baxter of Boston, has been seeking capital in Springfield.
 While in New York MT. MCCann re- peated his stories about the Federal agents who have been interested in wildcat baseball schemes and how they left their baseball players high and dry with no salaries.
 Bill Carey of the Springfield club didn't appear to be worried over the threat of Ban Johnson to bar the doors of organized baseball to him if he sees fit to jump to the Feds. He was told of Johnson's statement, sTnil- ed a little and then remarked: Well, I am glad this little neck Of the woods has been recognized at last. It's bet ter late than never and would be only too glad to have Mir. Johnson come up here and see for himself just how things are. If organized baseball is interested in keeping it's leagues to- gether it's up to organized baseball 70 protect them
 T have maintained all along I am for organized baseball and want to stick to it. I have never at any time shown any inclination to support the national game other than through or ganized baseball. For five years have been trying to adjust the affairs of the Eastern association and New England league so that we might have a merger, the thing which the Fed eral league is trying to accomplish in another way.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MIXED PRICE MOVEMENTS.
Caused by Renewal of Liquidation of High Priced Dividend Paying Rail- roads.

New York, Feb. 4.-RenewaD of liquidation in several of the high priced dividend paying railways shares and continuance of the recent pool manipulation in certain of the spe- cialties, notably the automobile is sues, were productive of some mixed priced movements in today's stock market. Canadian Pacific and South ern Pacific as well as Reading and part of the Granger group were under pressure, which seemed to rise more from liquidation than short selling.
 Rumor attributed the selling of Canadian Pacific and some other fa- vorites to the foreign account but international brokers reported little liquidation for Europe. United States Steel and the coppers were syTnpa- tlically affected, the one notable ex- ception being Bethlehem Steel, which was the most active feature of the morning session with a rise of al- most 3 points, which it maintained, despite another authoritative denial of the rumor that the stock is soon to be placed on a dividend.
 American Sugar was exceptionally weak among the issues of it's kind, los ing four points on persistent selling. while Beet Sugar declined a point U. $. Realty, one of the dormant specialties, dropped s points to 40, it's minimum. In the final hour prices underwent readjustment some stock making partial recovery, while others fell back again. Among the adverse railroad returns for December submit ted today were Missouri Pacific, with a net loss of $2O0,000, Rock Island $32S000 and St Louis, Iron Montafn and Southern $536, GOO.
 London markets were barely steady, due in part to dissatisfaction of the labor element over railway condi- tions. The Bank of England report ed another material 4oss-almost ST. 6O0.000-of gold and a slight reduction of liability reserves.
 The Pennsylvania 1-2s were the principal features of the irregular bond market with heavy selling under their recent best. Total sales (par vaIue) were $2,220. 900.
 L. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

Secretary Athletic League of North
 America.
 MT. c. II. Ntckerson, Physical Director
 Young Mems Christian Associa-
 tion. Norwich, Connecticut
 Dear Sir: Pardon my delay in an swering your communication of Jan uary 11th in relation to the protest of the Third Co., c. \. C., against award ing the tug of war contest to St, MaTy's T. A. and E. society, Cn the ground that when the timer announced ? 1-2 minutes, 8 inches for the Third Co, the anchor for the Third Go. be- lieVinS that time was up, got up from his position, the tuS thereOy going to St. MaTy's. and the protest is based upon the fact that through confusion resulting time was not called at the end of three minutes. Also that the six teams voted, four to two in favor of having the teams pull over. I note that the secretary of the Athletic League of North America writes that contest should be pulled over. A careful study of the A. 4. |. rules and conference with men who have acted at most of the tug of war pulls, convince me that the judge adopted the proper course in Geclar- ing contest won by the St. Mary's T. 4. &s E. society and that it was not necessary for the timer to call time at the end Of three minutes as the con- test was settled through the Third Co. C- A. C. sitting up, thereby leaV- ing pull in possession of St. Mary's T. A. 6 B. society. Frequently in races an athlete falls thereby losing the race he undoubtedly would have won.
 Yours very truly.
