AT the outset of the gubernatorial
campaign the Herald declared itself
as having picked Lieut. Lee M. Rus
sell as its choice, though we stated
that we did not know that we would
take an active interest in such cam
paign, and we have not done so up
TO the present. This has been pri-
marily because of the fact that we
thought-and time has proved that
we thought correctly-that the peo-
pie we're tired of so much politics and
excitement from last years sTenu-
Gus times. However, we have
watched the campaign closely and
are glad to say that we have felt all
along and still feel that Mr.. Russell
has held his own splendidly as the
campaign has worn its course this
far There is powerful and bitter
fSht going on between the Longino
and Johnston forces in their dispute
as to which has first place on the
ia Varddman ticket. This has
really benefited Mr.. Russell as some
of the adherents of both the first
named gentlemen have declared that
in case their man is left out,-in the
second run-off they will support Mr..
Russell rather than support the man
who has caused SO much bitterness
in their cross slashings.

we have had no vacation now in sew

be done to restore worn-down nerves
from the steady grind of print-sbop

hopes to get back to dear old Pensa-
cola soon. Below is a letter from Ben:
N.Y. Darling Mamma: Received four
letters from you yesterday and two to-
day. If you get my letters regularly
you should get one about every other
day. Louise certainly had lots of
Christmas presents. Santa Claus sure
was good to her and 1 know you all
had a good time at Kitty's. I noticed
a clipping from The Journal where
they are giving millions Of cookies
away over here. I would certainly
like to ask If that isn't a misprint and
is really meant for coolies as they are
about the only things that are given
away. I thought 1t better. mamma.
not to tell you I was in the fighting as
you would only have worried. I have
had good luck since being in this army
and have had no sickness to amount
to anything, only a little cold. I took
care of myself and soon got over it.
My feet are all right now. We are not
doing any marching, but am willing to
hike quite bit If it would bring me
any nearer home. I am sending you
box in a day or two. 1t is present
one Of my men brought me while ne
was on pass, so am sending it home
as it would only get broken If tried
to take it about with me. I expect TO
leave on pass so hope to go and see

Marine Preferrcd's Pricc

The present price of international
Marine preferred stock, around 1922, is
thought by some observers TO indicate
belief that serious opposition will be
met to the plan to liquidate the COM
pany. The directors have already ap-
proved the sale of the ships to the
British syndicate, on the idea, as they
announce, to give the stockholders a
vote on the question The meeting Of
stockholders to approve or disapprove
the sale of the ships has been called
for June 16. If the stockholders ap-
prove the sale the directors will advo-
cate the complete liquidation Of the
company, because they feel that there
would be serious handicaps to operat-
ing it without the British ships. In
case of liquidation the preferred stock
would be entitled to retirement at par,
plus $57 in back dividends, or $157 a
share A loss on account Of the present
sterling exchange rate would bring the
net receipts down to $3.50. The plan
recommended by the directors, in their
belief, viii obviate the question of a
heavy excess profits tax

Saturday HOLIDAYS

Though many names are being signed
to tho petition to close the New York
Stock Exchange every Saturday dur
ing July and August, there Is opposi-
tion in some quarters on the ground
that the action might draw outside
criticism. The criticism is expected to
be to the effect that the brokers raise
their commission rates and then give
themselves an extra half holiday.
Other objection which the proposal
might meet would be the traditional
fear of two-day holidays 1t is always
thought that traders sell out before
such interludes for fear Of what may
happen, though that idea was rudely
shaken before the Mem orial Day in

holiday plan urge in Its favor that it
would give employees rest or time to
catch UP with their work at the end
of each week Trading lately has ex-
ceeded the mechanical capacity of brpk-
erage houses to keep abreast Of it.

Midvale Steel to Spend
$4,000, 900 or Plants
Also Plans to Launch Important
Welfare Work on Behalf
of ErnpIOyes

The Midvale Steel sand Ordnance
Company announced yesterday the
launching of an extensive reconstruct
tion programme at its principal plants
involving an outlay of approximately
$S,0O0,O 900.
At the same time important welfare
work is to be undertaken on behalf
of the employees, including the adop-
tion of a pension system, effective
July 1, and the making of advances
of funds to the men to enable them to
own their own homes. A new hospital
will be built at Johnstown for the
employees.
"The directors and officers of the
company" said the statement issued
yesterday, firmly believe that the
interests of the company are identical
with those of the communities in which
the various plants are located They
also believe that the ideal community
is one in which all, or at least ma
jority of, the citizens own their own
homes. In order to assist in bringing
about this condition. a comprehensive
plan was authorized whereby employees
will be materially assisted in the pur-
chasing of homes. Under this plan
the company will advance 90 per cent
of the total cost and will extend pay
ments over maximum period of
twelve years"
The appropriation for reconstruction
will be largely expended at the blast
furnaces and open hearth department
Of the Franklin plant of the Cambria
Steel Company at Johnstown, Penn, in
replacing wornout equipment and
modernizng the. plant. At Nicetown
an electric furnace is to be erected
At Coatesville tho principal item will
be the construction of largo plant
for the special heat treatment md
finishing Of plates and other steel
products.
