Bethlehem "B" A Feature

For several weeks X has been re-
ported that strong pool had been
formed in Bethlehem Steel b" and
the action of the stock yesterday in
dictated that accumulation had been
going on in the stock Current earn
ings are said TO be at rate that
would warrant resumption of the $40
dividend rate. The present 5 per cent
rate has been in effect since last July.
Early in the year the stock was placed
on straight per cent basis. with an
extra dividend Of IA per cent for the
first quarter. In April the extra was
cut to p Of 1 per cent. Dividends were
paid at the annual rate OF 10 per cent
from early in 1917 to the end of 1918.
Bethlehem "B" ran UP to 105 yesterday
where it closed for net advance of I
points. The strength of this issue was
rather surprising in view of the threat
OF the company's employees to strike
unless conference with the manage
ment is granted.

The British Railroad Strike

It was thought before the opening
yesterday that the announcement that
500 900 British railway workers would
go out on strike might have restrain
ing influence on the upward course OF
prices here, but such did not prove to
be the case. Brokers with international
connections expressed the belief that
Lloyd George would be able to cope
with the situation and that with the
help Of England's armed forces he
would force backdown OF the recalci-
trant workers. 1t was felt that the
manner in which the steel strike here
has been handled would indicate to
England's labor agitators that the pres
ent is no Hne Tor them to force q
