It is by no means sure that unifl-
cation Of the railroads under Federal
supervision, "the controlling cor
porations being paid just and fair
compensation which would cover nor
NAL net profits, upkeep and better
ments." would result in decline in
the prices of transportation securl-
ties. Some of the railroads have
stated that if costs 90 on rising they
NAV not be able to maintain dlvi-
dends and make necessary improve

increase should be allowed. IF that
is true. stockholders might be Just

Current

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say. S4.75is. The intrinsic
parity is $4S6Ss per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at a pre-
MUM. which is owing TO the fact that
in England the demand FOR dollars
with which to settle accounts in this
country is greater than the demand in
this country for pounds with which TO
settle accounts in England

The Railway Strike

If there is going to be great railroad strike it
may well at any other time; better
than in crop moving The situation has
become intolerable and solution of sort is
essential If the railway brothcrhoods win there will
be readjustment of wages and the time,
rates which will leave matters clear long period
If the strike fail the brotherhoods will not soon be
in position to disturb things again
Out of it all, the inconvenience and loss to the
public, there will probably come some definite egis-
laton which will prevent future loss and ncon-
venience. The railways and their employees cannot
be allowed longer to settle their quarrels between
themselves business country standing, still
in the meantime.
The strike will be result directly of the futility
of the legislation of last September avert threat
ened strike then That legislation hastily framed
enacted, of such a character that the railroads
could not know what it meant The employees
ond thought doubted whether it meant what they
thought it meant. 1t is not strange, then that the
United States supreme court has spent some three
months bordering over it. The strike proposed
appears be sword with which the Gordan Knot is

The ticket sale began the first thing
