WILDCAT STOCKS.
Three States Agree to Put
Curb on War Time
Corporations
DELAWARE
is INTERESTED

Following the radical steps taken by
the state Of Ohio TO conserve capital
for government purposes, representa-
tives OF Pennsylvania. Delaware and
New Jersey met Yesterday at the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, Philadelphia. and
agreed to cooperate on a uniform line
OF action. the effect Of which will pre-
vent the issuance Of charters for new
corporations i'm those states. and the
consequent issue OF stock without the
consent Of The Capital Issues Commit
tee.

sey: Kenneth Barnard, secretary Of dis
irict committee on Capital Issues,
Cleveland. o.; James NJ. Satlerheld, dep
uty attorney general, Delaware. Miss
Fannie S. Harrington. chief clerk and
head Of Corporation Department Della
ware.
Mr.. Barnard explained that in Ohio
tho Commonwealth, as a war measure,
arbitrarily declines to issue any char
ter. authorize any issue Of stock or
any increase OF capital unless perms-
sion has first been obtained from thu
Capital Issues Committee. BY this
means. restriction is placed upon the
notauon Of "wild cat issues; the pub
ne is protected from wasting its money
on such Illusions. and capital is con-
served for the use Of the government
In the prosecution Of the war.
Chairman Austin laid stress upon the
importance Of cooperative action along
the same lines.
Secretary Woods stated that he was
empowered by the governor Of Penn
sylvania TO go TO the limit in cooper
ating in any measure that would pre-
vent the fOlati0n OF stock without the
consent OF the Capital Issues Commit
tee.
Mr.. Transue, speaking for the Sec
retary Of state, Of New Jersey, stated
that the state Department would CO.
operate with the Capital Issues Com
mittee In every way possible; that the
state Department had already notified
a great number Of lawyers OF the neces-
siiy OF procuring authority for the is
suance OF capital stock and that he
would Immediately issue a circular
letter, calling attention 10 the require
ments Of the Capital Issues Committee.
which would be mailed TO every lawyer
in New Jersey, and further that all in
corporators Of newly formed companies
would Immediately be put 10 the neces-
sity Of procuring authority from the
CAPITAL Issues Committee TO issue stock.
All the members Of the conference
conceded that any attempt to curb cor
poration issues would be useless, un-
less All OF the States acted in harmony.
II was finally agreed that the proper
authorities OF the various States rep
resented would hereafter refer alh ap-
plications for charters or increases OF
capital stock 10 the Capital Issues Com
mittoo before issuing state permits.
Chairman Austin will report the result
Of the conference 90 the Capital Issues

LONDON, Feb. 5.--Accordng to a
wireless press dispatch from Bcrne, a
series Of conferences took place at
Berlin yesterday The German En-,
peror and the Grown Prince received
separately Naseil Radoslavoff, the Bull
garian Premier; Count Czcrnin, the
Austro-H Hungarian Foreign Minister,
and Talaat Pachal, the Turkish Grand
Nizier, after which the Emperor pre-
sided at crown council Various con-
fcrcnccs continued throughout the day.
The Austrian food controller, Herr
lIoeicr, has arrived at Berlin to make
urgent representations to Germany re-
carding the necessity Of helping Aus
tra in her food difficulties.
The Amsterdam "Tclccraaf's" from
tier correspondent says that the meas
urcs taken by the German officials
against tho strike leaders in Germany
evoked great discomfort among the
German soldiers in Flanders. The cor
respondent adds that in many cases
the soldiers have melted Belgian la
borers. who have been forced by Ger.
mans to work, to go on strike.
A semi official telegram dated Mon
day received here to-day from Berlin
by way of ANS rdam says:
The number of strikers in Greater
Berlin declined to-day. a large num-

Committee Report to Give

of Health
Censure Is Likely
For Fuel Head
Senator Reed to Write Ad.
verse Report i'm Sugar
Inquiry,
Stat Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The forth
coming report of the Senate Committee
on manufactures. following its nves-
tgation of the sugar and coal short
ages. will be substantially an indorsc-
mcnt OF the food administration and
an Indictment of the fuel administers
ton, according to the informal opin-
ions OF members of the sub committee
which conducted the hearings.
Practically all members of the sub.
committee, with the exception of Scna-
tor Reed, of Missouri. are of the opin-
ion that Herbert G. Hoover has ac-
quilted himself creditably in admins
tcring the food control act. All mem
bcrs of'the committee, with the possi-
Bile exception Of Senator Jones, of New
Mexico, arc equally disposed to adj
vcrsely criticisc the administrator of
DR.. Harry A. Garfield.
Senators Jones, of New Mexico, and
Nardaman, of Mississippi, are pre-
pared to subscribe to a sweeping in
dorscment of the food administration,
it is reported. Senator Lodge, Of Mas
sachusctts, and Senator Kenyon, of
Iowa, will qualify this Endorsement to
include criticism of the food admin
istration's sugar price-fixing policy
To Criticise Price Fixing
This adverse criticism, however, will
be impersonal and will be more direct
ed at the economic principles involved
than at the food administrations exc
cution Of these principles. For exam
pie, it is probable that Senator Lodge
will make some expression of his dis
approval of the entire policy OF price
fixing.
1t is unlikely that Senator Reed will
subscribe to any report drawn by the
majority Of his committee on the find
lngs of the sugar investigation. De-
spite Senator Reeds professions of an
impersonal attitude, he has given what
has been considered many evidences
OF personal feeling. The latest has
been his inclusion in the copies of the
Hoover testimony trankcd out to his
constituents of italicized corrections Of
the original testimony presented by the
Food Admin strator
1t is the custom to permit committee
witnesses not under oath to correct
their testimony before it is printed.
Mr.. Hoovcr's corrections, most of them
in the interest of clearness, were, how
ever, printed in italics with the origi-
nal, a practice which is declared un-
precedented
Reed to Make Minority Report
Senator Reed, it is believed. will
make special minority report.
Regarding DR.. Garticld's administra-
ton of the fuel situation, it is cX-
pected the committee will find con-
siderable fault. 1t may be pointed out.
however. that DR.. Garfield inherited a
troublesome legacy, following Secre-
tary of War Bakers reputation of the
Peabody-Lane voluntary price agree
ment negotiated with the operators. in
the shape of the general dissatisfaction
with government control throughout
the coal trade.
Adverse criticism of the industrial
curtalment order issued by DR.. Car
field January II, which the Senate at
tempted to delay is practically certain,
it is predicted.

Bankers and Railroad
Men Call Lee Charges
Too Absurd for Replv

Charges by W. G, Lee at yesterday S
hearing in Washington that the rail
way arrangements and bankers are at
tempting to discredit government op-
GRAFTON of railroads aroused the ire Of
railroad executives and bankers in the
financial district here.
81 am sure" said Francis H. Sisson,
vice-president of the Guaranty Trust
Company, ~ have no no idea what Mr..
Lee could mean in his inference that
New York banks are responsible in any
manner for the present transportation
tic-up 1t is very certain that there is
no warrant in fact for such statement
treat seriously.
''1f Mr. Lee is looking for sonrebody
to blame for the increased transpo.ta-
ton congestion during the month Of
January he should place the response
bility Immediately upon the weather
man. Continued cold weather and
heavy SHOWS have added tremendously
to the burdens of transportation, which
could not have been prevented under
either private or government opera
tion.
"As an obvious matter of both patri-
o.lc and business interest, am conf
dent that the fullest degree OF co0pera-
ton by railroad owners and executives
will be given the government in its op-
Grafton of the railroads. No attempt
to cloud this fact in the furtherance of
any selfish interest will get very far"
l.. +. Lorec, president of the Della
ware & Hudson Company, said it was
ridiculous for any one to say that any
falling Oft in the operating efficiency Of
the railroads was due to a disinclina-
tion on the part of the managers to CO.
operate with the govcrnment in every
way possible.
AS an illustration of how tic opera
ton of the Eastern railroads has been
affected by the severe weather this
winter, Mr.. Lorec said that while his
company for January showed an III
crease in transportation service of
about . per cent over the correspond
ing month year ago, there was a de-
crease Of about so per cent in operating
efficiency, due solely to operating con-
ditions.
That is the whole story" Mr. Loree
added, "and any other inference is
simply imaginative or invented for a
purpose

Call for 400 Workers
Explodes Belief That

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-An urgent

to supply the men, and discovered that
they would not be needed for two

Of fear that when the men were needed
they could not be obtained.
Hundreds Of similar calls have been
received b. the service, tending, it was
said, to dernoralize the labor supply
and cause individual hardships.

the industries, the public utilities, the
municipalities, the householders. Early
IN the summer of 1917 the question Of
the regulation of the price of coal came
up. Prices at that time were exceed
lngly high, S5 and Sc ton for new
contracts.
a prominent Cabinet officer. rcaliz-
ing that the price situation might be-
come unbearable both for the govern
ment and the public, gathered together
great meeting of coal producers. At
that meeting, after a thorough discus
sion, in which men who had been in
the business all their lives and who
knew it from top to bottom partici-
pated. an agreement was reached to
the effect that coal would be sold at
the mouth of the mine for SO a ton.
This price would have permitted all
of the mines of the country to con-
tinuc to operate; some with large
profits, others with small profits. That
is called extortion, and great flaring
headlines are put into the newspapers
as to what they are doing to the coal
barons. the men who indulge in ex-
tortionate robbery of the public. We
are going to put the price down where
the coal barons' profits will be rea-

What is the remedy of the govern

1t is AS plain as can be. The price
should be fixed at level high enough
to keep the small mine in operation,
That price, Of course. will give the big
mine u profit deemed too large. But
along comes the excess profits tax and
takes away from the owner of the big
mine the excess part of his profits and
puts the money into the Treasury. The
people got the money back again. 1t
helps pay for the war. and all the coal
mines continue to operate.
