 Wooden construction was delayed, Mir. Ferguson said, because the cor. poration attempted to ambitious a program at the start.

Supreme Court Has Decided That Stock Di0idends Are Not Subject

Waslington Jan S.-The treasury decision that in making inventories for excess profits and income tax re- turns, dealers in merchandise or se- curities might use the cost price or market value, whichever was lower. is being reviewed by the department of justice and may be revised. Mil lions of dollars in taxes are depend ent on the final ruling.
 Treasury legal advisers were un- derstood to have challenged the legal ity of the decision which was issued several weeks ago on recommends ton of the excess profits advisers and Secretary McAdoo referred the ques- tion to Attorney General Gregory. Ii the decision is overruled congress probably will be asked to amend the revenue law to permit the internal revenue bureau to make such a ruling
 Determination of this point is one of the factors which have preventea issuance of forms for tax returns foi incomes of more than $3,000 and for excess profits reports.

Washington, Jan.

 At the capitol the railroad problem was the subject of hearings before the interstate commerce commissions of both the senate and house. h. terstate Goinaefee Commissioner Aii- derson explained the purpose and ef- feet of the pending administration bill to the house committee, while Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board of the Southern Pacific, con- tinued his testimony before the sem ate committee on the difficulties of railroads under private management.
 The appeal of the director general to railroad officers and employees. which will be posted within a few days at every railway se~tion, shop, md roundhouse, in the country is as follows:

Curt0iIment of Fuel

Washington, Jan. S.--A coal budget plan" based upon the voluntary agreements of manufacturers not en- gagged in work work to reduce their fGel consumption and backed by or ders of the fuel administration mak- ing the agreements applicable to all factories of each industry was an nounced tonight by the fuel admins tration as it's method for adjusting demand to supply in l9lS
 Reduction in consumption of DOS sibly fifty million tons of coal for the year is contemplated The army and navy, munitions works, other war ma terial factories. public utilities and domestic consumers will be the only classes of consumers to receive 100 per cent of their needs while the war continues.
 Manufacturers already have been called into conference to put the plan into operation and the annual saving promised by he first group will be between fifteen and twenty million tons in 1917 the increased demand for coal amounted 10 one hundred million tons, while the increase in output was about forty five million tons Under the same conditions this year the unified tonnage would be taken care of by the reduction in fac tories not contributing directly to the prosecution of the war.
 Curtailmant of fuel consumption necessarily implies reduction of out put by the factories so the fuel ad- ministration sees in it's program aid in the diversion of labor and ma terials to war work The budget by agreement is adopted in Lieu oi

POOR HOUSING FACILITIES FUR SHIP YARD WORKERS

President of Newport News shipbuiId- Ing Company Did Not Hesitate to Criticize the Shipping Board and Held it to Blame for Slow Develop ment of Government Plans.
The Sentinel=record., 1918-01-09

Washington Jan. S---America' probable output of merchant ships in 1918 was put at three million tons by Homer l.. Ferguson, president and general manager of the Newport News Ship6uildng company, testifying today at the senate shipbuilding inquiry Estimates frequently made of from five to eight million tons, he declared were misleading to the public and should not be permitted to go unchal- lenged.
 The greatest obstacle now in tltc way of rapid construction, Mr. Fer guson said, is poor housing facilities for shipyard workers. His story Of housing conditions at Newport News so stirred the committee that sub committee comprising Chairman Fletcher and Senator Harding was ap- pointed to confer tomorrow with the proper government officials with a view to obtaining immediate relief there and elsewhere.
 The testimony of MT. Ferguson, for seventeen years a naval constructor, made a visible impression on the com mittee and he was kept on the stand most of the day. He did not hesitate to criticize the shipping board and the emergency shipping board and held them to blame in large measure for the slow development of the gov ernments program.
 ''The housing program Mir. Fer zuson. declared, "is one of the most vital facing the government in the onduct of the war You cannot get the ships unless houses are provided for workmen. We want to add five thousand to our force and there is nowhere in Newport News for them to live. understand that conditions elsewhere are equally bad.
 "There is no limit to the amount of ships this country can build if it really sets itself to the task. The shipyards already built and those building can turn out five million tons of ships annually under proper conditions and the country could II put to it. add still other years and produce ten million tons a year. But it cannot be done without man power and man power cannot be obtained unless housing is provided.
 "It is just as necessary for the gov renment to build houses for shipyard workers as it is for soldiers. It must do it if it gets ships"
 Although he did not condemn the wooden ship program, MT. Ferguson said he doubted if the vessels after they were built would be fit for trans Atlantic service. They could be used to great advantage, he said, on coast wise runs.
 Delay in the governments provid- ing housing facilities for shipyards, Mir. Ferguson said he thought was due to a lack of coordination by the war and navy departments, the shipping board and the council of national de- fense.
 Concentration of shipyards in the Philadelphia district was criticized by MT. Ferguson as likely to increase housing difficulties and to add to rail- road congestion. The industry. he

NEW YORK, May 1.-The stock market ended an extremely busy week as 1t began, on a wave of bullish en- thusiasm which carried numerous spe- clal issues to highest levels of the year.
 There were some offsetting features such as the relative heaviness of rails and coppers, but these were more than oVer-balanced by the strength in all other quarters of the list.
 U. S. Steel was again in the fore front, advancing from it's low of 107 7s to 109l2, within a small fraction of It's current maximum, closing virtually at it's best
 Backwardness of rails and metals resulted from disappointment at the failure of the Washington authorities to announce higher transportation rates and to the less favorable quar- terly statements of the larger copper producing companies. Sales 550,000 shares.
 The new Liberty 41s per cent bonds continued to fall, declining from Fri days low of $9S.40 to $9S.20. Of the older liberty issues, the first 312s equalled the years low at S9564 and the second As also showing heaviness. Total bond sales (par value) $,750.0O0.
 An actual loan increase of about S9S,O00,000 and an expansion of more than $65,000,000 in excess reserves were the noteworthy features of the weekly bank statement.
