NeM Plan to Finance
Equipt,lept CO1nDnnies

WASHINGTON, March 27.-A new
plan for financing locomotive and car
builders, developed by the railroad ad-
ministraton and the Treasury. is based
on the proposal that the railroad ad-
ministration shall issue warrants or
certificates of Indebtedness to equip
ment companies, which may borrow
from the war finance corporation
with these warrants as security
This programme has not yet been
fully matured, it was said to- day but
IT is certain that the former sugges-
ton for the issuance of trade acccp-
tances by equipment companies on the
director general has been abandoned
because of doubt whether these would
be eligible for rediscount with Fedora
Reserve banks, since the government
agency would constitute the acceptor
The new plan is similar to that prac-
tised by the railroad administration in
dealing with railroad companies to
whom the railroad administration owes
money.

July, 1915, yesterday cut the rate to

Directors Of the Magma Copper
Company, who also met yesterday, took

1t was announced after the meeting
that the passing Of the dividend was

Temporarily Tied Up in
Operation of the Carriers
NEW ISSUE
Dated April /, 1918.

PITTSBURGH, Penn, March 27.-
Walker D. Hines, director general Of
the railroads, made it clear TODAY in
speaking before the Pittsburgh Cham
ber of Commerce that the S750, 900 900
appropriation asked of Congress and
which failed Of legislative enactment in
the final squeeze when Congress ad-
journed was needed and is still ur-
gently needed to aid the government to
carry temporarily the expenditures
made on behalf Of the railroad com
panies. He declared that a false i'm
preston prevailed that the S75O,0OO,-
600 was sought to cover losses sus-
tanned by the railroad administration
when the appropriation Of $3.50, ,00O,-
600 is made" said Mr.. Hines, "there
will have been appropriated for the
railroad administration total Of ST.
2oO, 100000 OF this about 500 100000
represented the loss incurred in the
calendar year 1918, due to the abnor-
NAL winter and to the fact that the
railroad administration had only six
months of increased rates to meet
twelve months Of increased wages"
The 81 l,050,000,0 900 balance, Mr.. Hines
said, represents funds temporarily tied
up by the government in railroad oper-
alton, distributed roughly as follows
Working capital, s34o 100000; loans
to be repaid by railroads, $34o,o00, GOO;
estimated loans to be made this year
and later repaid, $37O,000,o00.
The director general made it plain
that the need Of the appropriation will
be no less when Congress again con-
venes. pending receipt Of the APP
preparation" said he, ''the Admnistra-
ton is not in position to extend
financial aid to the companies in fur
therance of the definite policy of Con-
gress as expressed in the Federal con
trol act, and it becomes necessary for
the companies TO borrow money either
on the security Of certificates of in
debtedness of the railroad admnistra-
ton or on their own securities, in or
der to take care of immediate corporate
reuuirements.'
