alfalfa PAVING
WORK PROGRESSES
Laying of Concrete Base Is
Expected to Start in
Few Days

Gadsden, November 29-(Special.)
The contractors are making fine
Roadway with the excavations for the
paving in Alfalfa and it is expected
that the laying of the concrete base
will begin within the next few days.
The concrete work could start now
but the contractors are waiting IN
the railroad and street car companies
to get their tracks ready. 1t was
stated this morning that it would be
but a few more days before the
tracks would be in shape for the
contractors to begin laying the con-
crete base.
The Southern, railroad people have
asked permission of the city to lay
a plank crossing on the Fifth ave-
nue. instead of concrete. 1t be-
ing pointed out that the heavy
travel made 1t necessary to repair
the tracks often and the paving would
have to be torn up.
1t is believed that the city will
agree to such a change. as the con-
tractors stated that If the concrete
was made heavy that the tracks
would not give and the paving would
be always cracked.

CHINA IS CHIEF
TROUBLE SOURCE
AT CONFERENCE
The Delegates Have Already
Threatened to Quit Farley
and Future Course Is
Cause for Worry
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
Washington Bureau, The Age-HeraId,
800 Davidson Building

shfngton,. November 29.-(Spe-
e'aAA- a source of trouble. the
Was1sHE conference is regarding
eiers ses usly than any other nation,
~ very weakest of them all-China.
IS an indication that China will
to any completed work for
lis ut which the other delega-
tons may achieve. Were this indi-
cation to materialize, it would be en-
parassing, but not necessarily fatal
1t is just coming to light with what
great difficulty the American delega-
ton the last few days was able to
hold China in line. A representative
of the British delegation, unofficial
~. interpreted the proposal agreed
upon by the powers for China as he
saw it. China heard, and speaking
unofficially said, IF that Is the way
the powers are going to construe their
fine words, we will go home"
Z China was finally pacified. But as
symptomatic of the future dangers
that will face the conference, the
mere first suggestion of a walkout by
China is of major Importance.
Chfna's Usual Game
3 The course China has started in to
pursue is characteristic of its pre-
vious diplomatic course. 1t was pow
erless to prevent the Shantung set
Element in Paris But no one could
make it sign the Versailles treaty.
The Chinese resisted "passively," and
Shantung became a world issue. In
fact, the Chinese now admit private
ly that the Shantung issue was very
fortunate for them. 1t aroused sem
timent and backing for China in the
United States. 1t put the spotlight
on Japan's activities and purposes in
China. Next came the consortium OF
bankers of five nations to finance
China's railroad loans.
What the conference shall do about
this consortium is vexing the Chinese.
1t was President Wilson that proposed
the consortium as the. only hope OF
getting stability into the Chinese
loan situation. Everyone accepted 1t
but China. China refused to recog-
nize it.. The Chinese were made to
understand that the government was
resisting something the other powers
were trying to put over" on China.
Therefore, they said, Fine" without
knowing whether the consortium
would benefit them or not.
Delegates Are Timid
This frame of mind of the Chinese
1eople is the real danger to any set
lement being made on the question
he far east by the Washington con-
ference. 1t keeps a terrible tempta-
ton before the Chinese delegation.
The Chinese people are against any
agreement or international under
standing whatsoever as to China. The
very finest treaty could be devised
and it would be unpopular with the
masses of the Chinese people. They
are aroused to a national sense simply
to the extent of opposing everything.
If the delegates agree to a SPLEEN
did Chinese programme, they are
fearful of brickbats on their return.
On the other hand, they can sit
in" long enough to get all the powers
on record as to good intentions to-
wards China, gain such concessions as

TEST LEGALITY OF
INDUSTRIAL COURT.
Suit to Be Filed by United
Mine Workers Against the
Kansas Law
BY Associated Press

indianapolis November 29.-Within
the next few weeks suit will be filed
in the courts of Kansas by the United
Mine Workers of America to make a
thorough test of the constitutionality
of the Kansas industrial court law,
according to plans outlined today at
the executive board meeting of the
United Mine Workers of America at
the headquarters here by John T.
Garrison, former state senator of
Iowa. The law since it's enactment
has been opposed by the Kansas
miners organization and has resulted
in the sending to Jail of Alexander
Howat. it's president, and his expul-
sion, together with number of his
fellow workers, from the information
al organization of miners.
Mr.. Clarkson, 1t was said, has col
lected all the materials for his bill of
complaint. and 1t will be ready for fill
ing as soon as it is written and the
suit formally approved by the execu-
tive board. The suit. 1t was stated
late today, will attack the constitu-
tionality of the law creating the in
dustrial court in Kansas and the pur-
pose is to carry the case to the SUI
preme court of the United States If
necessary.
The executive board will be in ses-
sion of this week and probably of next
week, as reports from the strike in
the Colorado field, the situation in
West Virginia, and the difference, be-
tween the Illinois district officials
and the international, brought about
through the Illinois officials support
ing the Kansas strikers, are among
the matters still to be considered.

are to be had. and then-go home.
Bands will meet them. They will be
hailed as conquering heroes who re-
sisted something the others were try
ing to put over" That is the stroke
to certain political popularity in
China. The delegation knows it.
China has nothing to lose. Her
sovereignty and her outlying possess
sions are lost. Whatever 1t obtains
from the Washington conference is
a net gain. If China, in the end.
should refuse to sign, the others
would have to abide by all they
agreed to respecting China. China
figures mere self-interest will impel
England and the United States to re-
strain Japan.
China is a refractory patient. Doc
tors with all varieties of pills are
about. But China wont swallow. And
none of the doctors want to throw
China down, stick a spoon between
her teeth and make hrr swallow.
Therefore, whether China will take
the final prescription or not is go
ing to continue a mooted question in,
the minds of the international diagno-
sticians.

Accumulation Area

The present stock market reaction
suggests we are nearing the end of a
prolonged period and that we may
soon begin bull movement that will
last for several years, according TO
Byron w. Holt, who in last week S
market letter of Goodbody e. Co, adds:
"This seems probable not only because
bull markets usually run twice as long
as bear markets, but because we are
almost certainly passing out of the
tight money area which was largely
responsible for the bear market of the
last year and half. This does not
mean that we are predicting an all
around bull market for the next few
years. Al, that we do expect is one
sided bull market, in which the rail-
road and the utility stocks will be re-
sponsible for most of the advance
movement. These classes of stocks are
likely to be as relatively strong in the
next five years as they are relatively
weak during the last five years They
will be strong because the economic
conditions that made shem weak have
been reversed. Railroad stocks should
be relatively strong in future because
rates and fares, which have at last
been adjusted to high operating costs,
are reasonably certain to decline less
rapidly than will operating and repro
duetlou costs"

Break i'm Rails
To New Low as
Selling Persists
Industrial Stocks Continue
Heavy, Lack of Buying
Power Making 1t Easy
TO Depress the Market

Railway issues, which had exhibited
market~~Tnplea of last week,
came under the pressure of selling yes
terday, suddenly devloping pronounced
weakness, which carried prices of many
of the leading issues to new lows,
While industrial shares were also
weak in the brief session, the chief
point of interest was, Of course, the
break in the rails.
The market, as whole, suffered from
the same absence of buying power that
has characterized it for several days,
making it comparatively easy for the
aggressive tactics of the coterie of
professional bears to produce results.
This unwiilingness of folks to buy
stocks on an active scale is due mainly
to the widespread nervousness gener-
ated by the steady decline of prices
which has carried the whole kst to
the lowest level in years.
The average price of twenty repre-
sentative rail shares used in compiling
The Tribune's daily table closed yester-
day a. 5970, against 61.45 on Friday
and 60,60 at the close of the previous
week. The weakness of the rails was
all the more striking in view of the
fact that this part of the market acted
we'll most of the week when the in
dustrials were falling away with great
vigor.
The movement of the industrials car
ried thirty industrials to a low aver
age price of 65.27 against 6577 on
Friday. The industrials ended the
the week at an average price nearly 8
points under the closing of the pre-
ceding week. On five successive days
the industrial average moved lower.
No special news came out to explain
the sudden weakness of the railway
share group, and it was therefore at
tributed to a concerted attack by the
same market operators who have been
responsible for much of the recent
selling of the industrials, The passing
of railroad dividends is still continu-
ing unfavorable factor which was prob
ably accentuated by the second defer
ring of action on the Chesapeake &
Ohio disbursement on Friday.
Canadian Pacific and New Haven bore
the brunt of the drive against the rails
and the former sold at its lowest price
in twenty years, while the latter below
IA reached figure heretofore unknown
in the history of the property. Chesa
peake & Ohio lost more than 3 points
at 48ss, while Union Pacific declined i Il 8.
In the miscellaneous group yesterday
Coca-Cola was one of the weakest spots
and others were American Tobacco,
Sears -Roebuck, United Fruit, Inter
national Harvester, National Lead, Ma
tional Acme and New York Air Brake.
The weekly statement of the New
York Clearing House banks disclosed
an expansion Of S115,511 600 in loans
and discounts, while net demand de-
posts increased $2,727,000. Surplus
reserves decreased s1,479,630 to $46,-
s06,79o
The leading foreign exchanges were
firmer, with sterlig closing cent
higher. The grain market was weak,
with prices of leading cereals off on
improved weather
New-York tribune., 1921-06-19
Rails Turn Weak

Striking weakness in the railroad
81 ocks yesterday was accounted tor in
part by the transfer Of attacks OF bear
traders to this,part Of the list. Recent
news on the rail situation has OF been
favorable, to say the least, and this
has been conducive to good deal Of
short selling. Several companies, in
Guiding Chesapeake g. Ohio, Southern,
Hooking Valley and Chicago, Minneap-
oils, St. Paul & Omaha, have deferred
action on their current dividends. A
break in New Haven to 1915, a new low
for all time, revived further unfavor-
sble discussion concerning this prop
erty, the stock of which sold in 1902 as
high as 255. 1t is noteworthy that even
the railroads which have been main
tanning their dividends nave had to DIP
into surplus to do, so. Railroad men
say that there is not road in the
country that is earning its dividend re
quiiements at the present time.
