LEHIGH's SEPARATION o
 ITS COAL P

New York, Oct. C-The Lehisf Valley Railroad company today filed in federal court its long deferred plan for the sep aration of it's coal properties from the railroad
 This was in accordance with the decree of the United States supreme court, which in December fof 1920 entered an order dissolving the combination of trans portation and coal holdings "so as to make each component part in fact inde- pendent and competitive''~ ''~
 Under the segregation plan the Lehigh Valley Coal company will issue S30,000, 900 non-cumulative preferred stock with out voting power of $100 par value and per cent. dividend rate. to be turned over to the Lehigh Valley Railroad com pany as a stock dividend declared out of surplus. Dividends from this stock are to be paid to the railroad company
 In order to divorce itself from all con- trol of the coal company, the railroad company will convey all it's interests in the common stock to 242,432 "certifcates of interest" in the common stock of the coal company on the basis of one certif1- cate for every five shares of common or preferred railroad stock Stocks of other coal subsidiaries in- cluding those of the Delaware, Susuue- hanna and Schyulkill railroad and Coxe Brothers & Co.,, Inc, will be held as at present unlil maturity in 1926, when they are to be sold or otherwise disposed of for the benefit of the Lehisi1 Valley rail- | road
 The plan differs from that of other coal owning railroads in that it calls for no assessment from stockholders and in- wolves no sacrifice of their equity in the coal properties.
 1 Opposition to the proposed plan was announced by the government soon af- ter it's publication on three separate grounds:
 | CD That it does not contemplate the disposition fthe stock of the coal com. pany to persons not connected with oI 1 interested in the railroad company. CD That the plan to place the rail road comDany's equity in it's subsidiary l (Coxe Brothers & Co.,, Incl lis merely z proposal to extend for period of more l than four years the time in which de fepdants shall comply with the court. 1 mandate''
 (3) The same objection is made il reference to the proposal to trustee tn, Lehigh Valley Railroad company's euui ty in the Delaware, Susquehanna ant Schuylkin railEoad

MELLON URGES FUNDING
 OF ALLIED WAR LOANS

Washington, Oct 6.-Secretary Me- Ion in urging legislation for funding and refunding allied war loans, told the house ways and means committee to- day it was utterly impossible to make any schedule of payment because of conditions in each of rne creditor na- tions
 The loans should be refunded and funded at the earliest time possible to straighten out the treasury" Mr Mel lon said There is no authority to ac- cept bonds or other currency than our own in payment of the debts. To .. cer- tain extent, in arranging for payment of indebtedness, we have to consider the indebtedness of one a, lied nation to an- other. In other words we have to work with the other creditor nations on a plan of settlement"
 Replying to questions, the secretary said the "big nations including France and Italy were better able to pay than the smaller countries.
 There has been no thought of gen. eral substitution of governments as debtors he said, but only shifting of tie character of securities It is our intention to so fund the debts as to guarantee or assure payment of inter- est until maturity"
 Do you hope to collect from Rus. sia?" the secretary was asked. Tt seems hopeless"

Washington, Oct 6-Republican sen-l ate leaders. in a series of conferences today agreed upon a tentative tax re-H vision program which they believe will close the Irmcllal gap within their party ranks in the senate and at the same time prove acceptable to the re publicans in the house of representa- tives.
 Main points in the program are an. increase in the maximum sur-tax rate from 32 per cent. to 50 per cent. and. repeal of the tax on freight, passenger and Pullman transportation. In addi- ton 1t is proposed to repeal the g.. .000 exemption allowed corporations. which would mean an additional S6O. .0O0.0O0 of revenue from corporate sources. retain the corporation capital stock tax, esti- mated to yield s75.OO0.O0O next year. and repeal the various so-cal-ed nui- sance taxes, such as tfose on soda wa ter, cosmetics. proprietary medicines and the like.
 There also was said to have been a tentative agreement to increase the es- | tate taxes so as to have a maximum of | 40 Or 50 per cent on estates in excess of s1oo. 100000. The present maximum Is twenty-five per cent. on estates of i s10eoo,0oo
 Most leaders were understood to have favored the committee proposal for "a flat tax of 15 per cent. on corporation | Incomes but there was some discussion of a graduated tax, with the rate n rer cent. on corporations having an in- come of s5O,000 or less yearly. The question of increased first class posta ge rates also was brought up again but these and other matters are to he threshed out at a meeting of republican members of the finance committee. to be 70 11ad rr-s417 l
