INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 1S.-An
ATTACK on the Esch-Cummins trans

/ by William G. McAdoo. former secre-
.ary of the treasury. who quoted SEN
iator Harding as saying the republican

He said IN part:

/ Let US see If this description is
I justified by the results produced by
that measure. The Esch- -Cuhmlns bin
ordered the railroads returned to their
owners March /, 1920. guaranteed the
companies against operation losses for
six months, while allowing them en-
tire control of expenditures and gave
them in addition rental for SIX

running the railroads,

"Up TO August 81, 1921 august es-

loss Of $GS2,1S4 7s0. The taxpayers

quired by the Esch-Cummins dill TO
pay this loss plus the rental Of s452,

bearish construction was placed on
the labor disruption in England and
was responsible for the sharp decline

entire loss was recovered and although
the market eased eff somewhat from
the high point, the tone was remark
ably strong. considering the adverse
character Of the news. Some selling
took place when sterling exchange had

might, together with the coal strike,
have a tendency to reduce or shut off
the export demand. AS a matter OF
fact, Great Britain has not been buy
ing in this country for some time, ana
is not likely to be with Canada having
such a large surplus available. The
increase of 3,332,0 600 bushels in the
visible supply was larger than expected
but failed to have a marked influence
