FOR FAIR RETURN UPON
 VALUATION OF RAILROADS

Boston, Feb. 2.-The principle that railroads must be allowed a fair re- turn upon their valuation and that rates should be stabilized, in order that railroad credit may be restored and justice be assured both to the common carriers and to the public was maintained by Charles A. Prouty, director of valuation of the interstate commerce commission, in an address before the Associated Industries O.. Massachusetts here tonight. Some increase in rates. he said, must be made. MT. Prouty strongly com mended the anti-strike provision O. the Cummins railroad bill.
 In a review of the New England railroad situation, he said that New England was a transportation and industrial unit, that railroad rates in all portions of this territory should be the same and that leach parl should contribute to the other"
 50 long as the railroads of New England are independent" he said, "ii Is impossible to accomplish this Rates which are ample for the New Haven would not pay the. cost of op. nration on the Maine Central. Ii however. these roads were merged in to a single tunit. the same rate migh be applied. nor would the section heavy traffic feel appreciably the add ed burden"

GOAL OPERATORS PRESENT
 STATISTICS TO COMM sSIoN

Washington, Feb. 2.-Submitting statistics on the net earnings of 1919 of representative bituminous mines producing more than thirty per cent. of the total output in the central competitive field, operators told the coal strike settlement commission to- day that if the, present fourteen per cent. wage increase were applied throughout the year 1920, these com panies, on a basis of their 1919 ton mage, would realize less than one per cent. net return on the capital invest ment.' Any increase in wages above that amount, they declared, would mean a correspondingly greater de- ficit below the recognized equitable return of six per cent.
 Figures introduced by the opera tors, showed, they said, that if four teen per cent. wage increase had ap- piled throughout 1919 the mines em- braeed in the Pittsburgh coal pro- tlucerS' association, which turned out more than 22,000, zoo tons, or fifteen per cent. of the total output of the central field, would have faced a de- licit of more than s6,000,00 or thirty cents ton on basis of six per cent. return on capital invested.
 The earnings of the Illinois Coal Operators Association not only would be wiped out by deduction of a l4 per cent. wage increase for the twelve months of 1919. it was said. but would fall short nearly $1.3O0,0e0 of meeting expenses"

EFFORT TO DRIVE DOWN
 HIGH COST OF CLOTHING

Washington, Feb. 2.-Negotiations between department of justice off cials, charged with. driving down liv- ing costs, and representatives of in- terests engaged in the manufacture and sale ~of mems clothing, had made little progress tonight towards the development of a, policy tending to bring lower prices. The trade repre- sentatives were urged to shave their margin of profit as, one means Of producing lower prices, but this sug gestion apparently had developed a heated. argument. I Each group of representatives were willing that the other eien ,'lts of the industry should eliminate profits, department off : cials said.
 There much secrecy. about the session, Y ] icll@ lasted until late to- night. Members of the conference declined to discuss any of the; propo- sals debated behind -the closed doors and department officials under in- structions from Attorney General Palmer to make public statements of plans only when assurance of results could be given, would say only that they had placed the. governments views before the trade representa- tives
 Suggestion was made to the confer ence late in the day that the general session be broken up into committee which perhaps could arrive at some basis of action. Definite agreement on reached when the meeting adjourned.

 The exchange situation was the engrossing topic of discussion among bankers, .overshadowing all other matters in the financial markets of the world. Pessimistic statements oE Frank A.

AGREEMENT REACHED ON
 OIL LAND LEASING BILL

Washington. Feb. 2.-Three- months of hickering and an almost unbreak- able deadlock on the oil land leasing bill were ended late today through agreement by house and senate con ferees on the legislation senator Smoot, republican. Utah, chairman or the senate managers, announced the conference report would be submitted to the house tomorrow and an efIQrt made to obtain immediate cenSidera- ton. 'e--
 The agreement of the conferees Is expected to be approved with little oSnositfon by both the house and senate. thereby completing legislation which has been pending for the last ten years and which would open up for development approximately fe.- O00, ,Oee acres of public domain in western states. Last session, a sim liar bill was passed but the senate 5 failure to adopt the conference report in the jam of legislation at the close of the session, prevented final enact ment.
 As now proposed. the bll affects oil, coal. gas, phosphate, sodium and oil shale lands and is strictly leas- ing meas sure. all provisions for out right sale having been eliminated. Under the measure. approximat tely A, ,OO0, O00 acres or government coal land alone would be opened for de velopment as well as about 5000, ,e90 acres of oil lands.
 As agreed on by the conferees, the bill specifies only a minimum royal ty, the senate provisions providing maximum royalties having been elim- mated.
 The compromised measure also pro- vides that the total amount of the royalties to be paid shall be deter
 mined by competitive bidding OF by methods to be prescribed by the sec retary of the interior. For oil lands a maximum of 3,200 acres may be leased at minimum royalty of P 1-2 per cent. The maximum for coal lands is 2,560 acres with a minimum royalty of five cents per ton.
 The senate remedial provisions over which deadlock developed and which is designed to permit an ad justment of differences. over claims growing out of the development of the naval reserves in California and Wyoming were in part retained.

New York, Feb. 2.-England;s France and Italy were advised to, lay heavier burdens upon their taxpayers or drast:ca1ly curtail their expenditures by Senator Mediu Mccormick of H. linois in discussing the abnormal ex- change situation in an address before the Young Republican club here to- night Until the relation between inn ports and exports is retored to nor; nal, he explained. there can be no re- sumption of the normal rate of ex- change. The value of foreign cur rencies will continue to fall in New York markets, he said. until the for eign countries can present balanced budget of revenue and expenditures.
 In pleading for the adoption of a national budget plan in this country, he said that reforms in public admin istration were being urged not only by publicists and cranks. but also by the people from whose labor and whose capital must be found the income ana taxes which are to pay the billions or war debt.'
 The schemes of reorganization pro posed,' he asserted, vary from the establishment of Soviets 10 the enact ment of repressive legislation once fla maIiar in central Europe. It is as though our forces. returning from the defeat of the armed enemies or democracy. had been pursued by foes more dangerous-strange concepts or repression as necessary to order or of revolution as precedent to lberty. There are some of us who believe that we may meet the new problems wth- out abandonment of old prncples.
 s'Neither the shouting of the radl- calls and reactionar1es. nor the depre- dations of the profteers can harry us from ollr resolve to achieve social pro- cress through law Snd under the law. The burden of taxation is an incentive in our effort to control expenditure, to eliminate waste and to, energize
