the copper stocks a reason for new
strength. They mad been dull for
months and the market In them was

The advance in silver following an
nouncement OF the government that

in the metal leads many steel people
to believe that as soon as there is
activity in the steel market prices
OF that commodity will advance also.
Steel measured in the kind of money

prices before the war in the money

CONGRESS MUST
HELP BUSINESS
Holland Says New Laws Are
Needed For Railroads
and Other Utilities.

A New York business man who
has gained prominence as bank
er and broker invested some part
of his capital a few years ago
in an orange and grapefruit PLAN
tation in Florida
He was this morning bemoaning
the losses he has met with not oy
any failure of the crop but because
Ne was unable to secure adequate
distribution facilities
Grapefruit of good quality sells
in the Northern markets for from
Is cents to . cents apiece.
In the high class restaurants the
charge for half a grapefruit Is
not less than IS cents and some
times as much as forty. Yet TINS
man has been compelled to con-
template loss upon 1000 boxes OF
grapefruit: IL was of excellent
quality when II was picked. but be-
cause distribution facilities were
lacking he found IL impossible to
bring it to the markets. and the
fruit spoiled
Congress Must Act.
His experience has been that OF
some others. not merely with grape
fruit or oranges but with other
fruit and some other food COM
modities.
For this reason the hope is ex-
pressed here that the new Congress
will find opportunity for legisla-
tion which may improve distribu-
tion facilities throughout the United
Estates.
There arc in fact a number of
propositions which will be brought
~ - -. AZ
hope that something may be done
speedily to solve important prob
lens upon the solution of which
depends in some measure the main
tenance and increase of prosperity
throughout the United States.
The cost OF distribution and the
heavy loss to producers which in
adequate distribution has caused
justify the hope that some measure
can be taken whereby speedy and
economic distribution of the neces-
saries of life. especially food, can
be secured.
Two or three years ago when
food conditions in New York City
caused grave apprehension. a COM
mission was appointed by Mayor
Mitchell. with authority to investi-
gate the cause of the scarcity Of
food. and the high prices, and to
recommend remedies.
George W. Perkins was chairman
oI this commission. II did not
take him long to discover that one
9t the reasons why prices were
nigh and conditions unsatisfactory
was to be found in the expensive.
unskilful and hand-to-mOuth meth
ID of distributing food from the
producers to the consumers
This condition. however. was
found to exist in other parts of the
country II a satisfactory method
81 distribution can be perfected
following perhaps the example with
jermany in other years set. then
he farmers throughout the United
Estates would he benefited and at
The same time consumers would

The treaty of peace. there has come
1ndoubted increase in the optimistic

In the Wall Street district a diff

heretofore II was almost inyari-
lbly the fact that the financial

plihed by the remark which Grove

He meant by that that he did

/ 50 also financial leaders and also
he leaders of industry were in

But today a very different feeI-

There Is the question of distribu-
ion of products which it is be-
ieved Congress can satisfactorily
.nswer. There is also the rail-
Dad question.
That offers very dificult prob
ems Congress must aid in an
wering these question. The hest
'Dinion seems to be that while
'Onditions now are bad they will
'ecome worse after a while es-
'ccially in view of the fact that
he railroad earnings under govern
nent administration are rapidIy
alling so low that without gov
rnment protection there may come
'ankruptcy for some of the rail-
Dads.
Today the belief is that the rail-
Jay managers ana the adminiStra-
ion railway executives will come
o some agreement and that ulti-
1ately Congress will so change the
federal statutes as to permit uni
cation of various railroad systems
nto three or four great national
runk lines.
OF course with the understand
ng that they will be regulated
nd supervised by thorouehIy
ompetent board representing the
government.
The new Congress will be called
pon to authorize certain large
nancing propositions but this is
matter which will be easily
andled in view of the fact that
he wealth and resources of the
ountry are enormous. its war debt
comparatively small. and further
lore that for the time being and
,erhaps for long time the
United States is a creditor nation,

GOVERNOR BECKETT SAYS.
SENATE FIDDLIAG AWAY TINE
Wow 10 the Psychological Moment for
Putting This Railroad or Public
Utility Program Across"
Raleigh.

h6toiBu.
Raleigh. The government should
make 1t impossible for a man or set
of men working for public utility to
go on strike, is the opinion Of Gov
ernor T. w. Beckett brought back
from the governors conference which
met in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The problem Of averting strikes, es'
pecially in big public utilities which
affect of the three big matters consid
cred at the conference Of the COVER
nors. The North Carolina executive
had more to say about this particular
point than on any Of the other sub
jects under discussion.
Illustrating his Point, that man
engaged in public utility work
should not be allowed to strike. the
governor said that the railroads, for
instance, are much more vital part
Of the nation than either the army or
the navy. It is recognized that the
railroads are so necessary to the pub
lie welfare that they should either be
owned by the public, or should be con-
trolled by the public. Now is the psy-
Geological time for putting this rail
road or public utility program across,
for 100000 soldiers, who are just out
Of the service understand the view
point, and would back up such move.
Instead of dispoing Of the treaty and
getting at these vital things the SEN
ate is fiddling its time while Rome
burns, the governor thought.
