Smelling Earning Less

Cuestion-Last December purchased
American smeiters preferred, paying per
cent dividends at 95 Is this stock to be
considered AZ a good investment when It
IN selling at 90 now md often below =?
Rumor has 1t that tho American Smelling
a. Rehning Company arc not actually earn
Ing enough TO pay dividends Is this q
fact | also purchased recently some Gen
eral Cigars per cent debenture preferred
stock; which, ! notice, had not fuctuated
are the possibilities for this stock? What
do you think of the following as invest =
ments for one with limited capital
lean Sunatra Tobacco. United States steel
preferred and Chandler Motors? klndly
list them In the order of the preference
and indicate their Investment rating
l. r.
Answer-American Smelling and Re-
fning Company did not earn it's com
mon dividend during 1919 and was
forced to go into surplus account to
pay the per cent. However, this sur
plus is large and this was the first time
that the company has been in such q
position for many years, if indeed it
has ever had to 90 so before The pre-
ferred dividend was earned bv fair
margin. The General Cigar Company
has shown satisfactory earnings. Dur
ing 1919 the surplus after payment OF
Z per cent on the preferred stock and
two payments of "a per cent each on
the debenture preferred stock and &
per cent on the common stock was 81,
3s4,s45, the largest in the company's
history. We regard the debenture stock
as g. very fair investment. The other
issues you mention are of varying de-
grees Of safety. We do not advise the
purchase of American Sumatra or of
Chandler Motors for investment The
Swiss bonds and United States Steel
preferred are entitled to good rating at
present.

UdNl0SOu Washington. February 1s.-(Special.)A Senator Underwood author of a resolu- tion requesting the President to appoint committee to deal with the Canadian : government relative to orders in coun- cil respecting print paper, declares that despite denunciation of him by Canadian newspapers he will press his resolution to passage.
 Under the orders in council, citizens of the United States are unable to ship wood from crown lands to the United States unless it is in the form of lumber. pulp or print paper The lands were leased before the orders were issued. and leased for the purpose of shipping wood into the United States fer manufacture into paper.
 Paper manufacturers, said Senator Underwood, under the conditions would be forced to move their plants to Can- ada, where an embargo at any time would cut off entirely our supply of paper, and we would be helpless. The resolution provides for the appointment of com mittee to negotiate with Canada, anu think every newspaper in the United States should get behind the resolution to the end that immediate action mighl be had"

ILLEGALITY OF THE
 STRIKE IS ESTABLISHED

Washington, February 16.-(Special-)-- The conference report on the railroad bill was agreed to by the conferees to- night and it is expected that it will De reported to the House and Senate to- morrow.
 It is learned that Section 6, guarantee ing to the railroads 5iz per cent return on invested capital is retained. although the period for the application of suen guarantee is reduced from five to two years.
 The penalty clauses of the anti-strike sections are eliminated, but the principle of the illegality of strikes is established and all disputes must be referred for ad- tustment.
 The Senate will immediately indorse the conference report, and the House despite some opposition to the guaran- tee section and strike sections, is ex- pected to follow suit.
 The conference report contains clauses guaranteeing the continuation of inland waterway transportation by means of an appropriation.

Representatives Johnson of South Da- kcta. Monahan of Wisconsin, Smith of Michigan and Morgan of Oklahoma, has cient to demand a caucus irrespective of cient to demand a caucus irrespectiv of the desires of. the rules committee. It is claimed that forty names have been se- cUred-a sufficient numb r. and that seventy-five members of the republican party in the House oppose the "coward- ly" programme of the leaders.
 As previously written in this cor respondence, the republicans are con
 fronted with minimum of seventy-fiVe bills providing favors for the discharged soldier. Some are modest to the extent of simply providing long time and easy to the extent of providing large bonuses
 which if paid to 100000 men would seriously embarrass the treasury.
 All of these measures hang fire The republican leaders, knowing that the re- publican party. through a majority of it's membership in the House. is opposed | to action carrying a reward for the
 soldiers, hesitate to present the issue for l open debate on the floor of the House. They are aware of the damage that 1t would do the party were it to becorte public property that after all its talk and all it's promises. the republican party was at heart opposed to taking action Tn l a way showing the appreciation ot the l country for what the soldier did, and the | dire sacrifices to which, in many m
 stances willingly. he subjected himself.
 There is still another reason why the
 leaders hesitate They have announced
 programme of retrenchment. They have spread the news from Dan-- tc Bersheeba that unlike the democrats
 they are economists, that as such they will reduce governmental expenses, and | force the nation to live within it's m- come. Were the party to legislate in be- half of the soldier, it would necessarily lexpend a vast sum of money As re suit the total expenditures at the enc of the fiscal year would disprove al their claims and contentious.
 So the party is between the devil anc the deep blue sea And the action of tht Irevolting members simply acentuates it' embarrassment. Today the members ol the steering committee are excitedlN ningling with the recalcitrants in eifort' to persuade them for the interest of the Iparty, which hangs in the balance, tS desist.
 At the same time, the soldier vote ap' peals to the individual members of th lrevolting element, and the outcome can not now be foretold.

Washington, ~February l6-(Specla''f- "Cowardly."
 This is the world employed by revolting republicans of the House when char acterizing the plan of republican leaders to promise much and do nothing for the benefit of the private soldier who bore the battle flag against the Huns.
