the eight-hour law goes into effect its
in fluence will be great enough to per-
suade American capital gladly to accept
opportunities to invest in foreign secur-
tiles. Presumably there are to be album
dant opportunities for Investment of that
kind, for not only are Great Britain,
France and Russia likely again to ap-
preach the American market, but some
of the neutral nations will, it is believed,
negotiate loans in the United States
within the next year.
A CLEAN OF HOPE
Since the eight-hour law was passed. it
is said that some of the financial lead
ers have learned that many of the rail-
road employees are wondering whether
after all the statute will be of any bene-
fit to them. There appears to be some
disposition to find a way, If possible, be-
tween the present time and the first of
January by which the railway managers
and the railway brotherhoods can find a
common and satisfactory ground of
agreement.
Whether well founded or not, the i'm
preston does prevail that many of the
members of the railroad unions were
really not in favor of nationwide
strike, fearful lest the ultimate conse-
quences of strike of that kind might
be harmful to organized labor. More
over, most of the members Of these
brotherhoods are good American citizens.
1t is, however. regarded as certain that
after the first of January capital will
refrain from investing In railroad Sc
curities unless Congress or the interstaN
commerce commission furnishes the rail-
roads with means whereby they can
meet their increased expenses.

GREAT INVESTMENT FIELD

Since Congress enacted the eight-hour
law, the statement has been made by
some in the financial district that it
will have one unexpected effect, for it
will tend to make investment of Amer
lean capital in the securities of other ma
tons popular.
Already the people of the United States
have invested almost exactly $500, 000. 900
in the securities of foreign nations. A
rough estimate has been made showing
that these investments mean about s175.-
100000 paid in the form of interest or
dividends to the Americans who have in
vested in these foreign securities. Grad
ually but surely investment in foreign
securities Is becoming popular with the
American people. Until the three great
loans, one for $500, 100000, one for $780,
0Oo, 900 and one for s100. 100000, were sue
cessfully negotiated and absorbed, the
American people were not especially ia
vorable to Investment of this kind. Our
bankers did make many loans to South
American nations, but these were Of
small amounts.
1t may happen, therefore, that after

Prussian Railroads Are
Showing Good Earnings

Berlin, September 14-(Via Sayville.)
Receipts of the Prussian state railways
for the transportation of freight in the
second year of the war exceeded by per
cent the former high record made in 1918.
The 1915 receipts were 900 marks,
as compared with 1909 100000 marks in
1914, and 1,671, 100000 marks in 1918.

RAILROADS AND NEW CAPITAL

The railroads of the United States
must obtain fresh capital amounting to
$40, 0O0, 900 600 if the transportation of the
country is to be sufficiently cared for.
Capital, however, has been timid about
investing in railroad security. 1t may
be that the adoption of the eight-hour
law will increase that timidity Some
of the railroad presidents, Louis W. Hill,
for instance, of the Great Northern rail-
way system, are fearful lest the adop-
ton of the -eight-hour law without al
lowing the railroads to obtain increased
rates will result In putting many of the
railway systems into bankruptcy If this
should prove true then it may be that
the prediction said to have been made by
Senator Borah will be found to be an
accurate one, for the senator appears to
be convinced that in the long run the
adoption of this law will prove harmful
to American labor.
Capital. of course. cannot combine
openly as organized labor is able to do
and threaten to remain out of employ
ment unless certain conditions are met.
Capital, however, acts spontaneously, not
by any recognized agreement by the force
