 Although the discussion developed that the administration was working toward a solution, it was made known afterward that further facts would be collected before a rehabilitation policy was adopted.
 The point that wage and other con- tracts entered into when the railroads were under government control still are in force was raised In a telegram received today by President Harding from the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor, which proposed that employers and em- ployes be called into a general confer ence on the subject of railway reor- genization.

CABINET DISCUSSES
 VARIED PROBLEMS
Consider Conversion of Foreign Loans Into Long Time Me-
 gotiabIe Bonds
By Associated Press

Washington, April 1-Industrial and financial subjects ranging from foreign loans to the domestic agricultural sit uation were discussed at length by President Harding and his cabinet at todays regular meeting.
 It was decided that no definite com cinsions resulted, and that the rail road question among others still awaited a solution, which can be worked out only when the admins tretion has gathered more complete in- formation.
 The discussion of European loans outstanding as a result of the war was in connection with the approach of the time for an interest payment. It is understood that the President and his advisors talked over the feasibility of converting the loans into some sort of long time negotiable bonds, but that g decision was reserved.
 In Its consideration of the railroad problem, the cabinet had before it de- tailed information given the President

expect him rather to work out his policy through individual consultation with the managers. stockholders and employees.
 In the discussion of continuing war time agreements, it was brought out that the issue involved far more than the mere controversy between en- ployer and employe. Argument was put forward that if the contracts in question were to be regarded as still in force. that would remove the right of negotiation between the roads and men on many wage disagreements. It also was pointed out however, that this question was not directly before the President. but rather was a nut to be cracked by the railroad labor board.
 In it's general review of business conditions, the cabinet took particular notice of agricultural productivity, on which q report was made by Secretary Wallace of the agricultural department. The subs tance of his opinion has pre- viously been made public in his ap- peals for relief to agricultural in- terests,

l Macon, Ga, April 1.-After the defense of only four of the remaining 4s defend ants on trial on charges of conspiracy tc rob the American Railway Express company of a million dollars in mer- chandise was completed this afternoon during a five-hour session of federal court, given over entirely to the defense Judge Beverly D. Evans announced in an l effort to speed up the trial, session

 ] Sir Charles Davisdon, formerly chief l Justice of the supreme court of Quebec. who heard the Greene and Gaynor case

 The four defendants whose cases were completed today were l.. B. Rodgers, Troup Floyd. w. G. Stokes and Dan

 ernment's star witness, W. A Hughes.
 McLendon admitted the transactions
 with Hughes, two deals for bacon and one for silverware. McI.andon said that his wife advised him not to buy knives and forks from Hughes. but he said that he made the purchase.
 T never even knew that Hughes had st oes to seli,' declared J. w. Mills news | butch, to whom Hughes had said that he sold pair of shoes from an express shipment.
 Don't you know if you admitted buy ing those shoes you might be called upon to take seat over there?" asked As sistant District Attorney Powers, point ing to the seats occupied by the defend | ants.
 The court ordered Mills not to answer the question.

 Stokes said the tires were put on al Albany and he did not have time to throw them out" He said that he found them misrouted tires and put them off at Boston and asked MT. Mills to ship them to their destination. Pensacola Under cross examination Stokes said tt was not customary to report men for making a proposal as Hughes had made l. B. Rodgers of Albany, who took the stand told of an alleged transaction with J. % Bradshaw who has never been arrested.

For Good of
 the Community

perdHenCdl lnoy aScrlDe CnaC Qual- lty to musicians actors, painters. They are prone to refer to themselves as "cold- blooded." They are not.
 A former prominent citizen of Birming- ham remarked that capital is the tender est of plants" It is Nothing so quickly Wlthdraws it's timid head and nothing so quickly folds it's tender petals as capital
 The same man who criticises the news papers for publishing Tall that optimistic rot, is the fellow most prone to swallow it lock, stock and barrel He wants to be convinced against his own will He calls 1t rot so that it can be proven to him that it is not rot
 Were 1t not for the persistent presenta- ton of the bright side of things as they oc- cur in a community, there would be many suicides Many would go to asylums Many would give up in despair Many would sell out and go elsewhere in the be- lief that their community had gone to the demnition bow-wows.
 The business man says he is not tenn peramental, yet none is quicker than he to emerge from cover or take to cover under the passing changes of the barometer of business conditions. Truth is the business man is just as human as the singer, the artist, the actor The only difference is in the manner of manifestation.
 And this is why the serviceable news paper keeps putting the good things to the fore along with the others that force them selves to the front line The good things are just as much entitled to publication as the bad. Men do not go ahead unless they see something ahead.
 So, why not stop and consider the show ing that investment of new capital in this district in the first quarter of the year has made The record by months is this:
 January S3, 155,000
 February S3,303,O0O
 March 460,57O.
 Total S6,918,570.
 In the first quarter of 1 192O they were:
 January $761, 900.
 February $1,092,O0O
 Marh $893,5O
 Total-S S2,746, 0O0
 In the first quarter of 1919 they were: January -$1, ,230,400
 February $3102O0.
 March $32OO00.
 Total S1 ,860,6OO
 Is it not good to know that investment of new capital in this district this year was more than twice that in the same period in 1920 and more than three times that of the same period in 1919? Does not every man feel better for knowing this?
 Because these figures do not show so much pig iron, so much steel, so much pipe and so much brick and tile and lumber sold this week, are they not of value to the seller of steel and iron, brick, tile and stoves?
 Is what is doing right now in a mans one little corner of business operations the only thing he should know and take inter- est in or does 1t benefit every ba1siness
