Commission To Be known as
''Division'' After Coming
REORGANIZATION

Member of the Association of Rail
way Executives have approved of a re-
organization Of the Car Service Com
mission in Washington and a change in
its name to avoid confusion due to the
similarity between it's official title and
the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Division of the American Railway AS
ISOLATION. 1t is to be under the direct
charge Of an executive manager. W. l..
Barnes, superintendent of transported
ton Of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy. He will report to Daniel Will
lard, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, as chairman of the ad-
visory committee of the Association of

The organization, now known as the
Car Seryice Division Of the Anne rcan
Railway Association, was established
in Washington by the Railroads War
Board in 1917.and was afterward taken
over by the Director General of Rail-
roads, having been used by him as an
agency for directing car movements
during Federal control.

White Motor Dividends
For Year Already Earned
COmpany's Profits Running at
Usual Rate of About $40
/ Share. COmuany Saws

Earnings of the White Motor Com
pany of Cleveland are running at the
usual rate, according to an Official Of
the company, and dividends declared
and paid for the year on the S25,000,-
600 capital stock amount to $1,000 900.
This is at the rate of 4 per cent, which
has prevailed for the last three years.
The last annual report of the com
pany for 1919 shows gross sales of
$4l,e67 ,Ss7, as against s3s,55s,7s4 in
the preceding year Net income was
S4,l29,876s as against $2,ss0,5S5 in 1918.
The profit and loss surplus at the end
of the year was s7,s7s056, an increase
of more than 100000, and the indi-
Gated earnings for 1919 were $10.87,
compared with 1888 in the preceding
year.
These figures are presented to cor
rect a statement published in The
Tribune last month, which said that
the White Motor Company's income
for the June quarter was $330,152,
equivalent to 81 cents a share. The
company gives out statements only at
the end of the year, as interim state
ments are not audited and inventories
are only estimated.

railroad bonds-thr New York Chicago &

Is this q high grade Investment bond? II
not please CIV" me some advice about
Atchison Railroad bonds that would Yield
over i per cent. How high do these bonds
sci! now and when is their maturity p. s.
Answer-The New York, Chicago &
st. Louis Improvement mortgage bonds
are not high grade. although they are
entitled to a fair rating. With the new
rates in effect all roads should show
Improvement in earnings, which should
be reflected in better prices for rail-
road bonds. For a business man who
keeps in touch with affairs such bond
may be considered. Atchison adjust
ment mortgage 4 per cent, due 1896 are
a second lien on the property. They
sell for about ST and yield s per cent.
They are entitled to very good rating.
We believe the Denver & Rio Grande
first 4 per cent 1885 and the Rio Grande
Western first q per cent 1889 are good
investments. Both are secured by ab-
solute first liens and the yield is over
s per cent yearly, and over ia per

Business Men Urged
To Help Improve

u. S. Chamber of Commerce
Says Better Use Should Be
Made of Existing Equip
ment; More Cars Needed
From TAe Trtoune-s Woshinoton Bureau

FFon The TFsbUne'5 Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Manufac-
turers and business men of the country
were appealed to to-day by the United
States Chamber of Commerce to Join
in making better use Of existing rail-
road equipment as a means of provid-
ing an immediate improved transporta-
tlon service. In an open letter to in
dustrial and commercial organizations
the railroad committee Of the chamber
says the equivalent Of more than 500,-
600 cars can be added TO the supply by
closer cooperation on the part of all
interests concerned with transporta-
ton.
Freight traffic has increased so rap
idly in the United States during the
last few years that it has completely
outgrown the carrying capacity of the
railroads." says the committee. "As a
result, 1t is now necessary for the
roads to devise practical plan for in
creasing their transportation service.
This can only be done by making ex-
tenslve additions of new facilities and
equipment, including freight cars, To-
eomotlves, yards and track terminals,
or by making greater use of existing
facilities and equipment.
The railroads cannot carry out the
plan first suggested because under
present conditions they are unable to
obtain sufficient amount of new capt.
tai; nor would it be possible for them
70 provide new facilities in time to re-
heve the present emergency even if the
capital were available. They must,
therefore, rely on making a maximum
use OF facilities and equipment, with
the cooperation of all the other inter
ests commemorative shippers of freight.

ployees.
You, as shippers and receivers of
freight, can take very important part
in this movement. You can add $4,000

loading and unloading them promptly,
You can help to reduce the present
excessive number of bad order cars.
1t should ordinarily be possible to keen

y. s. altitude on Loan

PARIS, Sept. Accommodating on the
new French loan to be foated in the
United States, this mornings news
ment that the loan being paid off was
not a loan by government to govern
ment, but one made by American bank
ers to France and Great Britain. This,
it is added, explains what are termed
the onerous conditions Of the new
loan.
1t is pointed out that the American
nation, as represented by it's Congress,
has shown marked generosity in its
dealings with France, never yet hay

Question-Do you consider the first As
OF the Missouri. Kansas & Texas Railroad
a perfectly safe Investment? would like
$4,000 at present. but II I thought they
were gilt-edged would like to have So 600
more OF them.--W v s
Answer-Thc Missouri, Kansas &
Texas is in receivership. Most of the
Texas roads had undergone consider
able difficulty in operation up to the
time of the oil boom in that state. The
first 4 per cent bonds are secured by
first lien, and it seems altogether likely
that the issue will remain undisturbed
in reorganization. With increased
freight rates the road should show
considerable improvement in earnings.
We regard the first lien 4 per cenS
bonds as very fair investment for a
business man. The Erie 7 per cent
issue has been through several reor-
CARNATIONS and is fairly well Sc
cured. This, however. is q short term
issue. and it may be that when it ma
lures it will be difficult for the holder
to invest as advantageously as at
present.
