MISSOURI PACIFIC
ISSUES ANALYzED
Status of Bonds Under
Proposed ReOrganiza-
ton Explained.

An analysis OF the security for the
bonds dealt with under the Missouri
Pacific plan of readjustment and OF the
provisions made for them in the re-
organization has been prepared by
Loeb q Co., the resdjustment mana
gers. Accompanying the analysis is
map showing the mortgage liens on
the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain
system upon consummation of the
plan.
Special emphasis is laid on the
statement that the new S46,92S,l5
first and refunding mortgage 8 per
cent bonds shall be first lien on
about 1850 miles Of the Missouri Pa
cific-Iron Mountain system. If the
revenues of the last two years are
taken as q basis it is pointed out that
the property would show, over and
above prior charges, earnings Of about
$500 900, equal TO nearly three times
the interest on the bonds.
The burden Of raising the neces-
ssry new cash capital of about SAL
100000 required by the plan" says the
analysis, "has naturally been placed
upon the stockholders, who will re-
ceive for their old stock an equal
amount of new common stock, con9i-
toned upon their paying an assess
ment Of $50 share, for which they
are 20 receive an equal face amount
Of new general mortgage 4 per cent
bonds.
after taking into account the value
Of these bonds according 10 recent
market quotations for them as and
when issued, the net burden Of the
cash assessment upon the stockholders
would amount 10 from $3.50 to $40
share. In fixing the terms Of an as
sessment upon stockholders, it must
be borne In mind that if those terms
are unduly drastic neither will the
stockholders pay nor can the assess
ment be underwritten, in which case
there would be no alternative but TO
place the burden Of raising the neces-
sary cash upon bondholders"
IN addition 10 the first and refund
ing mortgage per cent bonds. the
analysis deals with the following Sc
curities: S44.399 ,292 general mortgage
IS. S76,751 $50 convertible per cent
preferred stock. So 1888, 565 common

IMPORTANT DECISION
 TOUCHING LABOR
COURT DECIDES EMPLOYERS CAN INSIST ON EMPLOYES WITH
 DRAWING FROM UNIONS.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The constitu- tional right of employers to require employees to relounce their union af- tiliations as a condition of employ. ment was sustained today by the su- preme court in a decision rar.reach- ing to organized labor, in which the Kansas so-called coercion statute was declared unconstitutional
 Associate Justice Day. joining a dissenting opinion with Justices Hughes and Holmes. declared he be lieved similar laws in thirteen other states, including Oklahoma and in Porto Rico fell by the decision.
 Under the Kansas statute it was unlawful for any individual or cor poration to cOerce or influence any person to enter into an agreement not to join or remain a member of d labor organization as a condition of obtaining or continuing employment
 The case today arose from the ar raignment of T. E. Coppage. a divi- sion superintendent of the Frisco railway system, for threatening A. R. Hedge, a switchman, with dismissal fl he did not withdraw from the Switch mems Union of North America.
 The substance of the opinion of the majority of the court was in this paragraph:
 Just as labor organizations have the inherent and constitutional right to deny membership to any man who will not agree that during such mem bership he will not accept or retain employment in company with non union men, and just as a union man has the constitutional right to decline proffered employment unless the em- ployer will agree not to employ any nouunion man. so the employer has the constitutional right to insist that the employe shall refrain from af- with the union during the term of employment"
 The contention of the dissenting justices is expressed in the main in his paragraph of their opinion:
 Could an employer not be forbid den from demanding agreements that an employe should not join the ma tional guard? Could not the state strike down agreements to join a cer- tain political party? Why not laboI unions, whatever members of this court may think of these unions?"
 Justice Pitney, in announcing the majority's opinion, made it clear tha he did not consider actual coercion. " Actual coercion" is beyond the power of the states to prohibit.

FREEDOM FOR FlLlPINos.

Washington, Jan. z5.-A promise oi complete independence for the Phil ippines when in the judgment of the United States the people of the is lands shall be fitted therefor" is con. tained in a revision of the preamble to the pending bill to enlarge the self, government of the Philippines adopt ed today by the senate committee.
 Alter adopting the preamable. which was written by Senator Kenyon of Iowa, the Philippine committee voted 10 to to report the bill as amended with the recommendation that it be passed.
 In the Jones bill as it passed the house, the preamble declared that it had always been the purpose of the people of the United States to with draw their sovereignty over the Phil ippine islands and to recognize their independence as soon as a stable gov ernment can be established there"
 There was no reference, howver. as to who was to determine when the Philippines should be ready for inde- pendence The Kenyon amendment leaves the question to the government of the United States.
