Consumers Service Stations

Qucstion--Win you kindly inform me
what you think of tho stock of the Con-
sumers Service Stations, whose circular l
am inclosing? The local station seems to
be doins a good business and the com
panys standing by Dun looks good. This
stock is offered in units, l preferred and 2
Of common at S17.--S. l.. c.
Answer--We think that the gasoline
and oil filling station idea has been
very much overdone in every territory
that we are acquainted with and re-
gard the securities Of a concern just
starting in that business as speculative
in the extreme.

M. G. S.
Answer-With the exception of your
Grand Trunk Western and Evansville,
indianapolis & Terra Haute bonds, we
think you are holding the securities of
some very weak concerns. We regard
the Virginia & Southwestern 5s and
the Wisconsin Central first and refund
ing as as poorly secured and ss the OBJ
legations of two very weak lines. We
also think that the National Steel Car
Lines equipment IS are outstanding at
entirely too large fgdre for the cars
they cover. If you are really desirous
of seeking safety for your investments
we suggest that you dispose of the
three issues we have criticized above
and replace them with some better S.
cured bonds such as we frequently
in this column.

notes are rather weak issue. They
are the second issue the company has

Fight Expected Between Nc
AdOO and Cox Factions.

cratic national committee when it
meets here next Tuesday to outline a
tentative program for repairing its
political fences"
While members of the committee
have declined to commit themselves
as to who will be favored as sue
cessor to George White of Ohio, the
present chairman, it is known in O.
litical circles that Daniel Roper of
North Carolina, and Carter Glass of
Virginia, are being prominently men
toned. despite the latter's recent an
nouncement from Washington that he
would not accept the post.
Expect a Hot Fight.
It is expected that a fight will be
waged for the Craftsmanship between

that is known to follow James NJ. Cox
of Ohio, who was defeated by Hard
ing.

fights and effect a country wide ma
chine in a Jealous effort to regain con-
troll of congress.

Two Carloads of Provisions
Sent to Pittsburg Field.
Warfare Breaks Out on Strike
breakers in Kansas.
Funds for Food Comes From
Local Unions in State.
Responsibility of Meeting Sit
uatiOn Up to President Lewis.

Two big factors developed today in
the coal strike in southeastern Kan
sas. First. plans were seemingly laid
for long seige in the coal fields when
the first shipments of provisions were
sent to the strikers Second, was
opening of warfare on the strike
breakers when news dispatches an
nounced blowing up of a tipple or
shaft mine. In neither case did the
industrial court announce a course OF
action.
Plans to feed the strikers are SEEM
ingly being carried out according to
original plans. f. W. Freeman, presi-
dent of the state federation of labor.
two cars of supplies to the strikers.
Other shipments will follow and it is
probable that st. Louis will be made
the base of supplies from which the
idle miners will be provisioned during
their idleness.
Local Unions Subscribe To Fund.
Funds for purchase of the two cars
of provisions is said to have come in
subscriptions received from Kansas
local unions which have voted finan-
cial aid for the strikers. An organiza-
ton known as the Central States Co
operative Wholesale society is report
ed in labor circles to have made the
1t is probable that headquarters will
be opened in number of towns and
mining camps for distribution of pro-
visions to strikers.
The first serious outbreak in the
Fields came when a tipple mine was
dynamited, presumably by strikers or
strike sympathizers. There was no
loss of life. The mine was wrecked
after warning had been given to men
who had returned to their jobs. No
ff.-+
mine while the men were at work.
Is Now Up to Lewis.
During the coal strike the indus
trial court has left the responsibility
of meeting the situation in the hands
of President Lewis. No change in pol
icies was announced today. Blowing
up of the mine is a felony and in di-
rect violation of the industrial court
law. The blowing OF the shaft MINIS
followed closely on reports that the
home of Charles Harvey. an anti
Howat mine union officer, had been
burned. Requests for a state inyesti-
cation of the Harvey fire have been
sent to Topeka. L. r. Hussey, state
fire marshal Is reported to have sent
investigators to the coal fields.
Use of fire and explosives by the
strikers has indicated to many state
officials, that the Howat sympathizers
propose an aggressive warfare in the
mining district. Howat and his leu
tenants have approved action of dis
trict miners employed in Missouri in
returning to their jobs. Picketing poll
icieS have been adopted to prevent a
reopening of the Kansas mines, tho,
and dynamiting of the shaft near
Pittsburg has indicated use of force
in enforcement of warnings to strike
breakers.
The course which Governor Allen
may take in the matter was not indi-
Gated in any statement from the cap
itol building today. The governor left
Wednesday for Chicago. He will re-
turn to Topeka Friday night or Satur-
day morning.
