WAGE DECISION DUE

New York, July 1s.-Threat Of a
nationwide railroad strike COM
bined with the per cent renewal
rate for money caused great weak
ness in the stock market early to-
day. The Street had expected
rally in anticipation Of the Labor
Board decision. There was no sport
interest outstanding therefore when
the buying that had been expected
failed to materialize, prices simply
faded. The declines ran from
point or two up to above four
points in some issues. Rails suf-
fered along with the industrials for
II was a purely technical decline
without any reference to value.
In the afternoon money declined
to 8 per cent. and there was a re-
covery in the market. In some
cases the net advances for the day
were recorded.
Although the Labor Board deci-
sion on railroad wages is not to
be announced until tomorrow, union
labor let II be known that II In
= tended to be displeased with It.
This exhibit OF the spirit of labor
worried the business world. Rep
resentatives of labor have partici-
pated in the hearings which led UP
to the decision and have had their
representative on the board. The
award will be given under every
possible safeguard known TO insure
fair play. Labor's attitude Is one
that should make investors eau
tious.
On the one hand the business
world was immensely pleased at the
decision of Candidate Cox to make
the league of nations his chief
plank. According to business men.

in the afternoon much higher
rates were paid unofficially for ac-

in French history. the budget for
1920. has just passed both houses of
the French Parliament, according to
advices received by the Bankers
Trust Company from its Paris cor
respondent. After being signed by
the President of the Republic. it
| will become a law.
Thus will have ended a protracted
struggle with critical reconstruc-
| tiCn problems in France. Normally
the French budget IS passed before
to which it applies, but the many
problems involved this year have
delayed action to this late date.
This new budget provides for ex-
penditure nine-fold grLater than
that of the last pre-war year. 1t
also provides an increase in taxa
ton almost 100 per cent over last
year, thus raising the per capita
tax burden of France from S57 to
S99. II, for convenience, we calculate
French money in dollars at par of
exchange.
other outstanding features of
French finance brought out by the
new budget estimates are:
The public debt Of France today Is
about 100000 million francs. The
interest on the Frerch public debt
is about 10000 million francs. this
being roughly twice the total ma
tional expenditure before the war.
Reduced to its simplest outline
the budget of 1920 Is as foil. ws:

An important feature Of the new
budget is its division into the two

ton of the reason for this arrange
ment is important to an under
standing Of the French financial
position.

 Montgomery, January 24-CSpeciaI.)-- A building programme calling for the expenditure of between $1,5O0,OOO and s. eOo,OoO in the construction of new schools and improvements on old buildings is now being worked out by the state edu- cationa department Much of this money will be spent this year while the re- mainder will be- used in 1921. Never be- fore have state educational institutions received the same attention as they are receiving now.
 Spright Dowell, state superintendent of education, today declared that practi- cally every county in Alabama is inter- ested in the building programme and that every section is calling for the ex- tension of equipment. Not less than Ssc0OO (probably $l.OOO.0oO) will be spent in the construction of rural school houses. o this amount $20,O00 will be given by the state from the rural school house fund. The law creating the fund provides that persons interested in a par tieular building must donate two times the amount given by the state, but in a great majority of cases the contributions will be three times the state appropria- ton.
 Every district agricultural school dur ing the next three years must provide dormitory for it's pupils, which can cost not less than $20, GOO Reports reaching the educational department indicate that the schools will make plans at once for the construction of the buildings and will not wait until the close of the period all lowed by law. There are ten agricultural schools and their new buildings will mean the expenditure of a minimum of $2o0, GOO l. is believed these buildings will cost about s3O0 900.
 Practice schoolrooms will be construct ed at the four Class A normal schools located at Florence, Livingston, Troy and Jacksonville. They will cost not less than s10000 each, or total of s40,000 An appropriation of $3O,0O0 for new buildings at the Class normal school at Daphne is available, provided interested persons subscribe an additional $30OOO. Fl. H. Holmes, principal of the, school, believes local subscriptions totaling s50000 can be obtained.

 The committee must have a small amount to pay expenses of the organize tion and of the campaign which must be made preceding the general election in November.
