ONE KILLED, SCORES HURT In AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
RAILROADS TURN
To GOVERNMENT
Relief Asked by Lines Swamp
ed With Business and Not
Yet on Feet to Meet Rush
By The Associated Press


WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE ma
tion's railroads swamped with busi-
ness and not yet on their feet after
the long period OF federal control
turned hopefully to the government
for relief. With reports showing sew
eral hundreds of cars held up be-
cause of insufficient equipment and
labor the Interstate commerce COM
mittee clothed with broad power
under the new railroad law, was ex-
pected to heed the appeal of the car
riers and take charge of a situation
bad.
Although desperate efforts have
been made within the last week to
clear up the tangle of freight rail-
road officials said there was slight
hope of early Improvement. The
great need at the moment is to clear
the tracks Of non essential shipments
and open way for the free move
ment of the necessities OF life.
So great is the traffic congestion,
according to reports and complaints
from many quarters that there is i'm
mediate danger of a wholesale clos
ing of big industrial plants and the
consequent cut in production.

Allied Premiers Also Decide to
Allow Germany to Issue
Bonds to Cover Indebtedness
Bu The Associoted Press

BIZ The Associated Press
PARIS, May 17:-It is understood
in official circles here that the Anglo
French conference at Hythe which
closed yesterday decided that the
sum total that Germany should pay
as reparation would be fixed at 120,-
900, 100000 marks, gold, approx
mately thirty billion dollars.
1t also is understood that II was
decided Germany would be permitted
to issue bonds covering her Indebted
ness to the allies payable In annual
instruments.
Such action 1t is pointed out would
enable France to discount a part of
her claims on Germany and permit
her to settle her debts to the United
States and the allies.
These decisions together with the
action taken postponing the Spa con-
ference with the Germans to June 21,
comprised the definite conclusion
reached by the French and British
premiers and their advisors, accord
ing to the understanding here. All
other details of the arrangements re-
main to be settled by the financial
delegations working on them. A spe-
cial conference of the allies will be
held at Ostend to consider financial
questions among the allies. 1t is stat
ed.
The meeting will be Independent
OF the league of nations conference
at Brussels, the dates of the confer
ences remain to be fixed.
The decision 1t was reported has
been favorably received in French
circles, while the total amount to be
paid as reparation is much lower than
the figure France desired and is still
further short of the actual sum de-
clared to be required to restore the
devastated regions and pay for other
damages. 1t is pointed out that &C.,
0OO, 900 900 marks in gold figured as
Frances share would be equivalent at
the present rate of exchange to nearly
24O, 900, 100000 francs In French
paper This 1t is felt could hardly
fail to satisfy French public opinion.

Commercial Credit

Although local commercial bankers
predict an increase in the number of
commercial failures within the next
few months. they expect financial en-
barrassment to be heavier throughout
the country than in New York City.
The pressure on many local firms is
still great, and the present condition
of the commodity markets makes liqui-
dation particularly difficult. One
source of further financial trouble is
expected in foreign trade circles where
sales have been financed by banks. 1t
is rumored that a vast quantity of
American goods have been refused by
foreign buyers since the decline in
prices began, and that these stocks of
goods will have to be liquidated in for
eign countries at loss, since there is
little or no outlet for them in this
country.
Commercial money rates yesterday
continued unchanged, with the market
for commercial paper and bankers &C.
ceptances not particularly active.

ket i'm Gray Goods Tends
Lower

Converse & Co., who recently ac-
quired the Knight mills. yesterday as
sued new price list for cotton
bleached goods made in the former
Knight producing plants, placing Fruit
Of the Loom muslin, one Of the best
known branded cotton fabrics in the
market, more than 40 per cent lower
than the last list price. The fabric is
now offered at 20 cents a yard against
the former price of IS cents.
Other fabrics on the new price list
show varying reductions, which un-
doubtedly will be considered drastic
by the entire cotton goods trade. OFF,
cials of the company asserted that the
new price for Fruit of the Loom is
under the present cost of production,
but that the drastic price cut was
deemed necessary in order to stimulate
buying.
The market for gray or unfinished
cotton goods yesterday showed further
recessions in the principal construc-
tions. The standard 64-60, 9Sh inch
print cloths, were offered at 1917 cents
a yard, net, by leading mills. Second
hand holders offered them as loY as
10 cents for November and December
delivery. Predictions that large buy
ing movement would set in when 64-
Sos reached 10 cents a yard were not
realized. Orders so far are small and
are believed to cover only the i'm
mediate requirements Of printers and
ccnverters for filling in purposes.

Extremes>of activity and dullness in

Clock and Watch Makers
Far Behind i'm Deliveries

A break in the prices Of high grade
watches and all lines of clocks in the
near future is out of the question, in
the opinion of executives of the leading
timepiece producing concerns. Practi-
cally every one of the eight large clock
manufacturing concerns in this country
is far behind on its orders at present,
it is asserted. An instance was cited
yesterday of delivery made this week
on an order placed last March, as show
ing the condition the trade finds itself
in at present.
There has been a break in the price
of cheap watches, it is reported, due to
q slowing up in demand The fact that
the demand for higher grade timepieces
is as strong as ever has strengthened
the belief, Of watch and clock makers
that the public is willing to pay pres
ent prices.

Can't Reflect Leather
Drop in Shoe Prices

The latest big drop in leather

the price Of leather down approx
imately two-thirds from the peak
prices Of last winter, cannot be
Immediately reflected in shoe
prices and do not count as much
in the price of finished footwear
as the average layman believes,
according to John Slater, Of j. &
]. Slater, president Of the
Retail Shoe Dealers Association,
of New York City.
"Shoe prices are declining"
said Mr.. Slater, 'but it is impos-
sible to bring shoes down equally
with leather. In the first place it
takes from ten to twelve months
to work leather up into shoes, get
them into the retail stores and
on to the feet Of consumers. In
the second place, drop from
$1.05 to 81 cents a pound in calf
skins means decrease in value
of about 35 cents a pair in shoes
made from that leather. I figure
calfskin at about nine and one
half feet to the pound, sufficient
for two pairs Of shoes. In addi-
tion to this, the shoe manufac-
turer loses in cutting, since tan
ners will not sell him all top
grade skins. His order has to
include lower grades as we'll,
