CREDIT MEN SEEK
NEEDED REFORM

NEW YORK, Sept 29.-An agitation
to have exemption laws In some
States changed was launched here Dy
the National Association Of CreoiI
Men tonight, when ]. II. TregOe, sec
announced that the
commercial interests would be better
off IL such allowances did not pro-
teet debtor merchants who took ad-
vantage Of a statute intended to sa1e-
guard citizens with family obligations
in the event Of failure or insolvency
against the perils Of poverty.
Mr.. iTregOe said:
"The officers and directors Of the
credit men also deplore the unWar-
ranted return OF merchandise which
imposes the cost on business OF az
least S25,OOO, 900 every year and must
be paid ultimately by the consumer;
the taking of unearned discount
which is similar in effect to the -un-
warranted return Of goods in the cost
Il imposes; the failure to comply with
purchase contracts; and an appeal -
made to the business men Of the na-
tion to help reduce these commodity
costs.
First Duty To Creditors.
cit Is also the belief OF the officers
and directors that when q merchant
becomes insolvent or finds his affairs
in an involved but not necessarily in
solvent condition, his first impulse
should be toward those who granted
him credit and confidence and gave
him capital. Were such a policy to
control all such situations, we could
calculate saving in the liquidation Of
an estate and in the Strengthening
out Of the debtors affairs.
A.
three years have held a favored posi-
tion because Of an increasing wealth.
We would impress upon credit grant
ors the need OF keeping their affairs
liquid, Of not speculating in credits
Waste should BE Avoided.
aUnadaptability and lack Of train
ing are the chief contributing causes
for failure in the merchandising field,
and though independence OF action
has been the controlling spirit Of our
nation, and we have permitted wastes
which IN the older and more thiclEly
populated countries would not be toll
Grated, yet we are commencing to
understand that economic wastes
where avoidable should be prevented
by reasonable means, and that no
greater economic waste can happen
than a human failure.
'"The officers and directors firmly
believe that a merchant who does
not keep some kind Of books should
not be allowed his discharge IL bank
ruptcy happens, and should he be
overly neglect, to suffer in a much
keener way than we have ever con-
sidered or attempted to accomplish
in the commercial and credit affairs
Of our nation.
eve also call the attention OF the
business men OF this country TO take
notice Of the great economic losses
caused by preventabIe fires. The
cost IS borne by the people OF this
country and paid for IN the costs
OF commodities and living generally.
''The responsibility must rest upon
and be accepted by the citizens for
the exercise OF such carefulness in
the handling Of themselves ana their
properties so that avOidable fire
waste may be materially reduced"

RAILROADS Return
MAY Be POSTPONED

Doubt that legislation returning the
] railroads TO their owners can be pass
ed before the end OF the special ses-
sion Of Congress, in December, was
expressed today by House leaders.
The President has announced that
/ he desires to relinQuish Government
| control January /, but the belief Is
growing in Congress that this time
may be extended, particularly II the
lawmakers have not agreed on the
governmental regulation OF the lines.
There IS no doubt, leaders Of both
Senate and House Interstate Com
merce committees say, that the roads
will 90 back to private ownership,
although many Of the advantageous
practices ordered by the Government
during the war, such as joint use Of
terminals, limited pooling or rolling
stock and the direction Of traffic
through the most advantageous
routes, may be Incorporated in the
bill
start Framing Bin Today.
Chairman Esch, Of the House Com
mittee, today stated he did not be-
lieve his committee would have a bill
before the House before November J.
A subcommittee starts work framing
it today, and later its findings must
be approved by the whole committee.
Undisputed points between the Senate
and House, Esch believes, are:
Private ownership.
Greater powers for the Interstate
Commerce Commission over rates, and
control over rolling stock
Joint use Of terminals.
Joint use Of interchangeable rolling
stock
Finnnelal Aid SUP On Air.0
Other points Of the legislation that
must be considered are still "up in
the air" he says. These include some
kind OF financial aid for the lines dur
ing the period Of readjustment. Guar
antees Of all sorts have been suggest
ed; but it seems probable that the
Government will only assist by max
ing IL possible, through loans or
otherwise, for the roads to get the
necessary credit. Regulation Of stock
and bond issues IS also probable.
In addition, one Of the gFeatset
problems Is the labor question. SeRti-
ment in the committee favors some
kind Of arbitration scheme. whereby
the public will be protected against
strikes.
