known men in the state are included
in its membership.
Mr. Hale shwoed that for years
the South has been handicapped be-
cause of lack of ships and because
of unfair railroad rates. The South
tlantic ports are now on a basis with
the ports around New York as far
as rates are concerned. AS far as
ships are concerned the South At

has seven vessels playing from the
ports of Wilmington, N. C. Charles

Mr.. Hale said the organization will
be virtually a league of cities of the
South Atlantic States which will go
after business of all kinds for these
states. All cities in Georgia and the
other South Atlantic States will be

third form of valuation, namely, that
of the average earning power of the
road over a period of ten years. In
this way if a railroad investment was
originally poor, no matter what its
cost might have been, and its earnin s
for period Of ten years were loS,
by capitalizing that earning power on
per cent basis and adding the results
arrived at through the physical valua--
tion, the average of the two would
reduce the value of the property to
pproximately its real value Like
wise, if road had large earning
power, it would bring the physical
valuation higher. In this way every
railroad would receive the advantage
or disadvantage to which it is entitled.
There might be a fourth valuation,
based on the price of securities over
a period Of ten years, but that, in my
opinion, would be both misleading and
unreliable because railroad stocks, like
other stocks, seldom if ever reflect
manipulations.
The three methods suggested in my
plan, however-original COST replace
ment value and earning power-cannot
fail to prove very effective measure
of value for practically 80 per cent
of the railroads of the country. Then,
too, these valuations are not suggested
for the purpose of selling the railroads
to the government, but as measure
of their participation in the securities
of the consolidated company for the
stock of which they are to exchange
their stocks. and also to afford the
Interstate Commerce Commission a
basis upon which to compute rates.

Money seems to have magnetic

Birmingham, Has
accumulated Money

Birmingham has made money during
the war---it reminds one Of an Amer
lean ammunition centre, for the streets
arc crowded-with people, hotel rooms
are not available. and every one is
hustling and as rude as their leisure
or haste permits. The Office buildings
are crammcd with government controls
and inspection departments Of all
kinds and natures and the city is over
run with particularly Objectionable
lot of civilians in officers uniforms
acting as inspectors and the like who
have somewhere read or heard that tho
main duty of an officer is to swa9gcr
and make himself annoying. As sub
ject for clinical study the heart Of the
Black Country Is interesting, but it is
no place for human being.
The owners have made money and
the workers have made money, but no
large fortunes have been created-~at

every one has money and the problem

business methods will have scored an
other triumph in the commercial world.
while the du Pont company has al
ready proceeded far with it's expansion
into new industries it has by no means
reached limit of the possibilities of
logical expansion in related industries
available to this organization. Its
representatives have studied CONNER
cial conditions on the ground in GER
tain new industries in Asia. Europe,
and North and South America"
Many of the highly skilled technical
men have been transferred from the
smokeless powder plants to the dye
stuff factories, in which great hope for
future development seems TO be re-
posed.
Regarding the possibility of compet-
ing with German producers of dye in
the future, Mr.. Poucher, head of the
dyestuf sales forces, said: ~ am not
unmindful of the fact that the cstab-
lishmcnt of this industry in the United
States, and . particularly by this COM
pany, means fighting Germany in its
most zealously protected industry, and
In the one industry in which it was
recognized the world over as a leader
Our whole effort in this enterprise is
to so shape our affairs that consumers
will have neither reason nor excuse for
ever again buying from Germany"
And as the rehabilitation of the war
plants is nearing completion, the du
Pont organization is beginning to con-
centrate on the problems of the future.
According to its official spokesman, it
regards the war business as a thing of
the past and is not looking for substi-
tutes for it, but rather for extension
and development of its other interests,
which constitute chiefly chemical prod
ucts.
The military powder business has
been sloughed off and, it is explained,
there is at present no substitute for it.
The other activities in most instances
were carried on collaterally during the
war. However, they now come to the
forefront and become the main bust
ness. But it is no longer a question
of producing all that is humanity pos
sible, but merely enough to meet the
effective demand of commercial inter
ests.
Although the du Pom organization
was, beyond peradventure of doubt,
war institution during the war years,
representatives of the company remind
observers that the war structure was
superimposed on peace business of
long standing. The president of the
company called attention to the fact
that the company has engaged in com
mercial business for 113 years, of
which only eight and half years
might be termed war years. 1t is the
greatly expanded non-war organization
upon which the du Pont leaders are
resting their hopes for the future.

Dyestufs an adjunct
of Po,Cder Business

The president of the company, in his
recent report TO stockholders, indicated
four leading developments of the COM
pany outside the powder field. They
were the manufacture of pyralin. a
substitute for tortoise she'll, ivory, and
cognate products, "the chemical rela-
tion Of which," he said, "to military
powders is such as to make it a very
desirable addition to the list of our
products. Entry into this business was
through the purchase of the Arlington
Company, already a successful manu-
facturer of many years standing"
Secondly the manufacture of paints,
varnishes and coors. "The relation
of this industry" it was suggested, "to
explosives lies in a common interest
in the production of certain so-called
heavy chemicals while more init
mate tie exists between the paint and
color industry and the so-called chemi-
cal mixture business in which the du

But there is considerable difference
in opinion as to the method of obtain
ing the unification which is essential
to economy of operation as we'll as i'm
provement of service. At least two
major suggestions of a railroad plan
include proposals to maintain the pres
cnt identities Of the two hundred odd
railroads, while permitting those com
panies, in the public interest, to pool
facilities, make common use of tcrmi-
nails, and reroute traffic under such
agreements as may find approval by
some public agency of regulation or
supervision.
In my appearance as president Of the

tended that solution Of tho pcrplcx-
ing railroad problem is possible only
through:
G) A unified system Of operation.
ca A unified system OF financing.

By Nathan l.. Amster

DXTENS1VE as has been the dis
cussion of the transportation
problem, both before the Com
merce Committee of the United States
Senate and in the columns of the daily
press, | doubt whether the real funda-
mentals of the question are fully un-
derstood by either the general public
or the rank and file of stockholders
of the railroads.
In my opinion Congress, in seeking
to define practical, constructive rail
road policy for the future, must set
before it two principal objectivcs: %
A scheme which will provide the gen
eral public with the most adequate,
efficient, and cheapest transportation
service possible; and, (2) The deter
mination of what constitutes a fair
and equitable return to the hundreds
of thousands Of men and women whose
savings have been invested in building
up the greatest system of transporta-
tion in the world
There have been many and varied
suggestions made as TO the best way to
accomplish the two ends which ! have
outlined With but one exception
these suggestions comprehend a con-
tinuation of private ownership and a
measure of coordination or unification.
1t seems to be quite generally agreed
that a resumption of the old system
of compulsory competition and prohi-
tion of pooling or rcrouting of>traffic
would be undesirable

Busy on the
Products Of Peace

A similar relation between the ex-
plosives industry and the making of
ether, of paints and varnishes, Of pyra-
lin, substitute for ivory, and the
hundreds of other commercial chemi-
calls which the du Pont company will
be free to specialize on now that the
pressure of grinding out military pow
der as fast as the ingenuity of mar
could devise has been lifted.
At Carney's Point, where the great
smokeless powder plants were built in
six units during the war, the new dye
stuff factory stands, the former SYM
boil of yesterday, the latter of to-mor-
row. Although the breath of life is
being snuffed out of the military pow
der plants, some seventy-five du Pont
plants and machine shops scattered
throughout the country are whirring
away on the products of peace.
Before the war, military powder con-

Outside Of this single question of
workers, the manufacturers are conf

future they are equally confident, but
hot In the way OF capturing new mar
kets to any great degree o. of engas-
ing in any kind Of trade war under
government auspices or in associated
bodies--"cartel" fashion. The Birming-
ham engineer is above all an indivdu-
alist and he wants to 50 forward now
exactly in the same general way, ex-
cepting for increased production, that
he did in pre-war days. He detests all
forms of government control and is
equally opposed to associated effort,
except that he will take something in
the way of small flyer in new mar
kets in combinations which promise to
reduce the cost Of the experiment.
This is the way the situation was sum-
married to me and it bears out my
own observations:
"The war has made changes, If
course; we had to give up practically
all of our peace trade except that IN
hollow ware-which The forces needle /
and change over to munitions. Bn.
the firms that have made most of the
munitions were those who were al
ready in that trade before the war
They have let out 20 otrer makers
various parts, and few of those parts
have caused any great plant changes.
We have put in automatic machinery,
because few OF us were making more
than one or two parts; because we had
automatic machinery We could dilute
labor with women. The women are
not skilled mechanics; they arc very
good with automatic machinery, for
they do not seem to mind the mo-
motony But they we're only war ne
cessity. We cannot use them in any
great numbers in peace, for now we
shall not have so much automatic ma
chincry and also we have promised to
take back all our mon who survived
the war. And many Of the women are

EriLs That Must
Be abolished

Transportation has been burdened; !;
1T has never had an opportunity to
perform it's full functions for the
greatest good of the greatest number.
Regulation has been repressve as we'll
as oppressive. Maladmin stration in
the financing and management of roads
has been so often present in conditions
cite instances here. These two evils
must be overcome. The question is
how shall their removal be accom-
plished?
Summarized very briefly, the plan
which have submitted to the Commerce
Committee of the Senate proposes that
all of this railroads now under Federal
control shall be unified and managed
and operated as one national transporta-
ton machine. To accomplish this | pro-
pose that corporation be created,
under Federal charter. which shall abb
sorb the stocks of the two hundred
odd companies, giving in return one
share of stock in the new corporation,
par value 500, for each $lC0 of value
OF the stock acquired. propose that
valuation adjustment commission
be created which shall determine the
true value of the stocks to be acquired.
BY the adoption of these two funda-
mental suggestions, what do we accom-
plIsh? l would say we would achieve
economical operation without any i'm
pairmcnt of efficiency, and cheapness
of service, IS we'll as fair valuation
of the railroads in public use which
would afford a legitimate basis upon
which the Interstate Commerce Com
mission could compute fair and adc-
quate rates and upon which reasonable
return could be figured.
In my opinion any proposal which
would bring such solution would end
forever the troubles which have beset
the conduct of transportation in the
past

With district that was probably
the most active in peace having turned
itself wholly over to war, the trans
formation back to peace can be taken
as fairly typical. And find here that
practically the only thing which
bothers the employers is the inability to
get men with which to start peace work
They do not in the least fear the task
of immediate changing or what they
will do when they have changed. All
of the owners with whom / talked said
that they have orders on their books
that would keep them busy for nearly
year. And likewise the labor un-
rest, which ais so prevailing, does not
seem to worry any one--employers or
labor leaders-in this district, for they
have between them settled these big
points:
G) The men have agreed not to
limit production, but to cooperate in
high production to the end that they
may keep something of their high war
wages.
CD They have agreed generally on
the forty-seven hour week and mu-
tuality of control through workshop
committees.
