WAR NOT HURTING
BUSINESS IN MONTANA
Dun's Semi-Annual Report
Shows Few Failures in
State to July l.

The war is not initiating against
Montana business conditions, accord
ing to Philip S. Rush, state manager
for R. G. Dun & Co. Business in
Montana is growing, and while labor
conditions are uncertain just now, the
number of failures in Montana thus
far in 1917 is small.
In fact, business conditions through
out the country are far better than
many people suppose. There were
fewer commercial failures in July
than in June. Furthermore the fail
ures in July, 1917, were smaller than
for the month Of July any year since
1911.
Dun's semi-annual report Of fall
ures shows that there were fewer
failures during the first half of 1917
than any similar period since 1911,
while It has been ten years since
the same period showed smaller total
liabilities Of failed business houses.
There were 1853 business failures
in the United States from January I
to July l., 1917, involving s94,721,-
$50 liabilities. The present figures
compare with the 9,495 defaults, in
volving $~11,241,421, reported to R. G.
Dun & Co. last year, and with 1910
for $1SS 1887, 535 in 1915-the highest
point on record. In the first six
months Of 1914 there were 8,543 in
,solvenciss, with aggregate debts Of
about $ls5,ooo.ooo. It thus appears
that, despite the very material in
crease In new enterprises and other
factors calculated to enhance the pos
sibilities Of financial embarrassment.
failures have been relatively moder-
ate, and a study Of the latest state
ment discloses no evidence that the

A PRICES INCREASE

Price-fxing for meat and dairy pro-
ducts has no place in the governments
food control plans, Herbert Hoover,
the food administrator, recently told
the National Livestock conference.
Not only would it be inadvisable to
institute p~rice-fxing in these indus
tries, he declared, but the food admin.
istration has been given such pow.
ers. - "N
AS long as there is a heavy demand
for meat with a decreased production,
MI. Hoover said, meat prices will con-
tinue to soar. The hope of the food
administration is that it can stabilize
quotations and thus eliminate specu-
lation.
II cannot believe there is a panacea
for a situation Of this kind" said Mr..
Hoover. "Our problem is to increase
production. ~
1.-THE meat situation is such that a
high price to producers is guaranteed
for many years. If the war were to
end suddenly, or if the submarines
were to be overcome, however, great
stores of wheat would be released in
Argentina, Australia and India, and
the bottom would have dropped out of
the market in this country. These
three nations will have on hand soon
enough wheat to feed the world, but
ships cannot be had to transport it.
,"Beef and pork present different
situations. We export a small amount
of beef, relatively, but now we are
over-exporting pork and it may be-
come necessary to take measures to
keep a proper relation between the
price of corn and hogs. We want
your advice as to how' this may be
done.
"There is nothing that can be done
to stop the rise in meat prices of the
shortage continues, but if we stabilize
: prices the rise will move at a continu
: Gus level. Producers must have g
$ price that will stimulate production
y and must get that price, though there
r Ear be no government guarantee ant
l see no way to bring about a volun
tary agreement as to the prices tina
t should be paid.
81 doubt if legislation to guarantee
producers a minimum price is wis
e and in meat and I believe it is impos
sible to accomplish this"

economic 'readjustment occasioned by
this nations participation in the war
have caused serious disturbance in
business. The Improvement which
featured that returns during the first
three months Of this year was well
maintained in the second quarter, and
defaults in June we've less numerous
than in the same months of 1916 and
1915, with the smallest liabilities for
the period, excepting those of last
year, since 1912.
Both in number and amount, re-
duction occurred in manufacturing
and trading defaults; but whereas
there were 40 fewer insolvencies
among agents, brokers and other con-
Germs not properly included in either
Of the two leading classes, the indebt-
edness was about 100000 larger
than in the first half Of 1916. Thus,
such failures numbered 361 for ST.
275,889, as against sol for $16,249,-
800; while there were 1883 manufac-
turing r~everses, involving 40,440 ,908,
in comparison with 2,247 for $38,897,-
742 and S,238 in the trading division
for $37,994,559, as contrasted with
6,747 last year for $56,o93,S70 The
trading defaults it is seen, made rela-
lively the best showing, with a nu-
merical decrease Of % per cent, and
a contraction Of "a per cent in amount.
Geographically examined, the rec
ord discloses practically countrywide
improvement in the business mortal
ity, for there were. fewer failures in
all Of the eight sections into which
the statemeht: Il divided, and only in
the New England and Pacific states
were the liabilities larger than in the
first half Of 1916. Numerically, a
reduction Of 564 occurred in the mid
die Atlantic group; in the south cen
trail division the decrease was 40;
in the south Atlantic states it was
263; in the Central east 234; in the
central west 208; in New England
1876; and in the Pacific and western
states there was a falling off of III
and Is defaults, respectively the best
exhibit was made. by the south CEN
trail and western sections, with re-
auctions of over so per cent in each
case, and the increase on the Pacific
coast was moderate.

officials. The movement of the draft
contingent of 275,O0O men begins on
September 10 and will last until Sep
TENDER %, inclusive, and during that
period there will be a suspension of
all national guard traffic.
Thus the railroads have two days
in which to prepare for the draft
movement, when they will haul $1,000
men a day for five days, and n day
afterwards to prepare for resuming
national guard movements.
A similar interval will come Oct. l
and last until Oct. 9, during which
national guard movements will be
suspended in favor Of the draft con-
tingent.

U. s. FREIGHT CAPACITY
EQUAL TO THE WORLD

EQUAL TO THE WORLD
American railroads have achieved
the astounding feat of adding to their
freight service, in the short space Of
two years, an amount equal to the
freight traffic of Great Britain,
France, Russia, Germany and Austria
combined. This fact was brought out
today by William Sproule, chairman
of the Western Department of the
Railroads War board, who summar-
lied the results accomplished by the
organization during the first four
months of its existence.
Information in our possession"
said Mr.. Sproule, Indicates that the
voluntary act of the 693 railroads of
this country in merging their COM
petitive activities for the period of
the wal and uniting in one continental
system, has not only made the trans
portation problem presented by the
war less cumbersome to handle, but
surer of satisfactory solution.
"In additio INTO welding into one
loyal army the 1,750,OO0 persons m
ployed by the railroads-from engine
wipers to presidents-the co-ordina-
ton of the nations carriers has made
possible the most intensive use of ev-
cry locomotive, every freight car, ev-
cry mile of track and every piece of
railway equipment in the country. 1t
has also facilitated the securing of in
valuable cooperation from the ship
pers and the general public"
AS concrete instance of what has
been accomplished through this COOP
Grafton of the railroads, the shippers
and the public since April 21, when
the war board was created, is sum-
married. by Mr.. Sproule as follows
Excess of untitled car acquisitions
over idle cars, or what is commonly
called car shortage, reduced 70 pei
cent.
Freight transportation service ir
May 16.1 per cent in excess Of thai
rendered in 1916 which was "a pei
cent greater than in 1915.
10000 600 miles of train servic,
saved for essential freight by elimin
alton of unnecessary passenger trains
113,420 empty freight cars, IRE
spective of ownership ordered into dis
tricts where most needed, a polio.
brand new in American railroading.
Pooling of Lake and Tidewater Goa
and Lake ore saved $4,000 cars.
Regulated abnormal export move
ment of 75,6S2,02S bushels of wheat
corn, barley and oats to allies fror
May 1 to July IA with no delays o
no blocking of facilities.
Secured nationwide cooperation i
intensive car loading.
Stationed trained railroad men a
every c%antonment and at Washing
ton headquarters to cooperate wit
the government in transportatio
plans.
Perfected plans for moving 1000
900 men from five thousand differer
points to the 80 training camps b
October 20, with equipment to fl
10000 freight cars.
Freight of all kinds is bein
handled in unexampled volume, IL
railroads hauling from mines alor
5000, 900 more tons of fuel than the
ever carried before.
Organization, hard work and Il
faithful help of l,750,O0O railros

the accomplishment possible"

great movement has started in the
English press to rehabilitate the

FIRST ZIONIST CONVENTION
IN RUSSIA.

Moscow, April 1O.-The first
Zionist convention ever held in
Russia has just closed it's sessions,
which were marked with tremend-
GUS enthusiasm, due to the fact
that this is the first time they have
been able to assemble from all
parts of the country, and to pub
licly discuss questions of interest to
the Jewish people, without fear Of
arrest.
Resolutions were adopted con-
graduating President Wilson and
the American people for ranging
themselves on the side of the demo-
cracies Of the world, and for es-
pousing the rights of the small ma
tionalities to live their own lives
and develop their own culture.
The very first act Of the conven-
tion was to get into communication
with the leaders of the movement
in neutral countries, to arrange for
concerted action in view of the i'm
minence of events that are destined
to have a tremendous bearing on
the future of the Jewish people.
Before adjourning, the conven-
ton sent greetings to the Ameri-
can Provisional Zionist Committee,
to the Inner Actions Committee, to
DR.. Max Nordau and to all the
Zionist Federations throughout the
world.
