Rail Executives Disappointed

Railroad executives had little to say
concerning the Labor Boards an
uouncement that it favored read
,Slstment downward of railroad wages
The prevailing feeling was one of dis.
appointment that the board has def
nitely removed all hope of relief from
excessive labor costs before July I. II
IS believed that speedier action will be
taken on cases which will be heard
June 9, as the reductions to be an
nounced June will probably serve ms a
precedent for subsequent cases. Thus,
II is considered possible that adequate
reductions on all roads may be in effect
July /, but railroad officials are none
too optimistic on this point.
The report that the reductions to be
announced on June / will average from
II to 15 per cent is regarded as pure
guesswork by railroad men. They dc
not believe that the board has given
any intimation Of the cuts which it in
tends to apply. A reduction of 10 per
cent, railroad men say, would be made

island. The long continued miners
strikes, together with the greatly en-
hanced cost Of coal, have resulted In
the closing down OF many industrial
concerns In Great Britain, while In
many instances the Increased cost Of fuel
has made Il necessary to sell the manu-
factured products for much higher
prices. Economists in Great Britain
who have investigated the coal situa :
tion in that country in connection with
tho cost Of coal production believe that
either the cost Of coal TO the English
manufacturer must be greatly reduced
or there must be found cheaper fuel
IL England is TO retain her place in
the markets OF the world.
An investigation into the British coai
mining industry recently made by All
American Coal Journal, showed there
were 1856. 200 men employed IN the
British mines in 1920, while the total
production of all the mines of Great
Britain in that year was 229 9,000,0 200
tons. The average output Of each man
for 1920 was but le3 tons. In the
United States in 1918, there were T62, =
426 men employed In the coal mines.
while in that year the production OF
both anthracite and btiuminous coal
was 6TS, ,211 900 tons, or an average
production a man for the year Of $50
tons.
The small average output miner in
Great Britain. together with other e1
penscs. has resulted in a tremendous
increase in the cost of coal. Statistics
indicate that the cost of coal at the pit
mouth in Great Brain in January.
1921. was 35s. on, which figuring
exchange at parity was $3.50 a ton, or
three times the average cost Of ton
of coal ut the mine mouth in this coun
try.
These figures would indicate that the
industries Of Great Britain must find a
cheaper fuel than coal or cease to com
pete in the markets of the world

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

There seemed to be an underlying fear
on the Street yesterday that something
wns overhanging the market Of dis
turbing nature. This atmosphere OF
gloom was probably the outcome of the
further omission and reduction Of divi :
dends, coupled with the wider appre-
eiation of the necessity OF n further de-
fation In several of the mere important
industries. Otherwise there was prac :
ticaIly nothing TO warrant the apparent
uncasiness.
Declining values. Of course. are al
ways q disturbing influence and the
spectacle Of declining prices is certain
to cool any market enthusiasm. The
dividend changes announced within the
last forty eight hours had been pretty
well discounted In the market. For
the last few weeks rumors were plenti-
full these dividends were either to be
passed or reduced. SO everybody was
prepared for it. just as they are for
the others that are certain to come.
A natural question great many pec-
pie are asking is where are all the big
profits many Of these concerns made
during the war period? This would be
dificult to answer in one way. but easy
to answer in another. The almost pro.
hibitive rates asked for fresh credit
accommodations necessarily makes 1t
expedient on the part of all corporate
managers to conserve all available re-
sources for urgent business requirements,
which. in turn. forces either a heavy
reduction or passing Of dividends al
together. Unless their true condition
has been misrepresented, many Of the
concerns which have made dividend
changes are not half so bad off as sur
race appearances would suggest.

THE BARNES SCRAP


Judge Risjord, acting as removing
officer, after hearing the testimony
in the town fo Barnes case, decided
that john Kennedy, town clerk,
Frank Moore and d. o. Hall, MEM
bers of the town board should be re-
moved from their offices for not TAX
Ing proper care of the towh' records.
The action was brough by l.. u.
Pease, who was elected as chairman
of the town of Barnes last spring.
He experinced difficulty in getting
hold of the records of the town and in
finding out the status fthe towns
affairs SO asked that the members OF
the sideboard an dthe town clerk be
removed for not properly attending
to their duties.
A fractional Fight
At the time Pease was elected as
chairman of the town OF Barnes,
George Barnes, former chairman,
refused to give up the robes OF
office claiming that Pease had not
been elected legally. The vote was
SO to S5 in favor of Pease and
Barnes was on the election board
and aided in counting the ballots.
John Kennedy, he town clerk, IS
a son-in-law of Barnes and he and
Moore and Hall did not recognize
Pease but stood with Barnes and held
town meetings with Barnes presld-
ing as chairman. Peace brought ac-
ton for removal of the three men
and also an action to determine
whether Barnes could keep him from
exercising his rights as chairman
of the town of Barnes. This case
will be decided later by Judge Rls-,
lord, it being. circuit court action
while the action in regard to Ken
nedy. Moore and Hall was heard be-
fore Judge Rsjord as removing
officer.

manoueves which ended brilliantly

demonstration: is urging airplane
carriers as the type of craft most
needed by the Navy at the present

tary added, "the navy must also

ments.
