HOLLAND LETTER
The Biggest Daily
Financial News Feature of
the Country's Best Newspapers.

The Bethlehem Steel Company
has faith in the authorities at Wash
ington, believing that the govern
ment will neither compel the COM
pany to undergo loss in the manu-
facture of steel rails nor, on the
other hand, in order to. prevent loss.
decline to deliver the allotment of
steel rails which the company has
received from the government. This
opinion was expressed by a high au-
thority in the steel industry who
Is not in any way associated with
the Bethlehem Steel Company. In
fact the manufacturers of steel and
iron in their recent conference at
Washington expressed themselves
willing to leave to the determine
tion of the government the decision
respecting the price which the gov
ernment will pay for the commodi-
ties it needs. All of the leaders
were persuaded that the government
is not only willing but anxious that
the prices be so fixed as to provide
for a reasonable net profit, possibly
as much as 10 per cent upon the
contract.
There is another point of view
from which the government de-
mands for a 10000 tons of rails.
the aggregate amount to be allotted
proportionately among the steel
building plants of the United
States. are TO be taken. These rails
are to be utilized in the construc-
tion of a double-track railroad
whose western terminal Is to be at
a certain French port and whose
eastern terminal is to be at the bat
tlefront. This railroad will, when
completed, be a real achievement in
railroad construction. 1t is to be
built by American engineers. 1t is
to be so constructed as to meet as
far as possible the heaviest kind of
traffic demand. 1t will be, after the
war is ended. an important addition
to the general railway system in
France. 1t is to be, however, only
one of several railroads which
American engineers are to construct
including some which it is essential
greatly to improve and expand,
especially at terminals. in order to
facilitate military operations in
France.
Not ails alone. but equipment for
the railroad is to be provided by the
Federal government. Not less than
three hundred locomotives and If pos
siole as many as two thousand cars
are to be obtained by the govern
ment in order better to serve the
American army in France, especially
after the large contingent arrives
there next year and also to aid the
movement of French and British
troops as well.
There is no doubt that Germany has
already been informed of the purpose
of the American goternment to build
a practically new double track rail-
road from a French seaport to the
battlefront and also thoroughly to
equip this as well as other railroads
in France. The military leaders in
Germany cannot fail to take this rail-
road construction in France as evil
dence that the United States has en-
tered into the war with a determin-
alton to employ all our resources in
men. money and supplies, in order
to bring the war to triumphant

Who?

Who is responsible for the lawIess-
ness which disgraced the streets of
Washington yesterday!
Women were roughed, man-handled,
knocked down by lot of young hood
lums-and some not so young-egged
on by a lot of sailors wearing the
navy uniform; fist fights took place
in front of the White House; riot
ing and the threat Of much more
serious trouble was almost continu-
Gus along the line from Cameron
House to Executive avenue.
And the police made little or no
attempt to interfereI That was the
amazing, the inexplicable part of the
disgrace of yesterday.
OF course, 1t Is obvious that Mai.
Pullman is not responsible. II he
dared to permit such proceedings on
his own account, his job would not
be worth 30 cents this morning. He
got his orders from somewhere, from
somebody-orders which deliberately
permitted the roughing of these SUI
fragettes as a means of cowing and
coercing them when other means had
failed; orders which have resulted in
an impossible, a monstrous situation.
1t is impossible to believe that Presi-
dent Wilson gave his assent to the
course that Is now being pursued.
Politically. 1t is silly; as a piece of
public policy IL Is the most inept
thing that Washington has seen in a
long time. The idea that the police
Of Washington must stand Idly by
and permit mob violence on women
ought to be smashed by now, for two
days is about all that the city can
endure OF IL.
This Is entirely apart from the
merits of the propagandist methods
pushed by the suffragettes. There is
a wide split of opinion about that.
But either the pickets must be abol-
ished or they must be protected from
hoodlums- That much the honor and
name OF the city demand.

COLBY COLLECTS DATA
FOR SHIPPING BOARD
New Member Complies Statistics to
Determine Rates.

cambridge Colby, newest member
of the reorganized United States
Shipping Board. Is now in New York
collecting data upon which the board
expects to base the ocean freight
rates which will be charged on all
vessels operating under charters taken
over by the government. These prices,
1t is understood, will be based upon
the actual cost Of operations, allow
ing a liberal percentage for profit.
The percentage above cost of opera
tions, 1t Is stated -authoritatively, will
be above 6 per cent.
The importance of Mr.. Colby's work
Is heightened by an unofficial state
ment from a member of the Shipping
Board, that no charters will be al
lowed unless sanctioned by that body.
Through the embargo on exports and
other regulatory measures. 1t is
likely the ocean rates will be cut
down nearly half.
Representatives of shipping men
from Seattle, Wash, conferred with
the Shipping Board yesterday on the
subject Of wages in shipyards. A plea
was made for the government to pay
the extra wages demanded by or
ganized labor for the extra work
entailed through government comman-
deering of contracts. No decision
was reached.
