railroads Of the United States fell be-
low a per cent. return on their prop

revenue of $35.00O.000 during the
month. against $22.000,o00 earned by
the same roads in November, 1919.
To earn the full 6 per cent. return on
which the increased rates were based,

LEVER BROTHERS ADD
SI38, 200, 900 TO CAPITAL

The action yesterday of Lever Broth
ers. Maine corporation, in in
creasing is capital from S12, 100000 to
sl50000GC0 was the first step in a plan
by which the Lever interests, British
soap manufacturers. are to acquire the
American Linseed Company, according
to information obtained yesterday in
authoritative quarters. The plan has
been under consideration for many
weeks, and Lord Leverhulme, head of
Lever Brothers of England. has been
in this country discussing various pro-
posals with the American company's
officials
1t was sAd yesterday that the plan
called for formation of a new company
under New Jersey laws. That company
would exchange its shares for shares
of American Linseed and the shares
of the Maine corporation of Lever
Brothers, which is the American sub
sidiary of the British, concern. The
basis of exchange, 1t was said, would
be substantially as '0llows:
Holders OF Anne n Linseed pre-
ferred stock will be glven one share
of Z per cent cumulative preferred stock
in the new company for each Linseed
share: holders of American Linseed
common stock will be given per cent.

NORFOLK AND WESTERN
DISPUTES DISCUSSED
Cfficicfs and Employees Haze
Direct Conference.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-A half days dis
cussion Of cases in controversy between
employees and officials OF the Norfolk
and Western Railroad before the United
States Railway Labor Board resulted
to-day In the Withdrawing of two cita-
tons at the suggestion OF the board and
attempts to settle the points In direct
conference between the contestng par
ties.
Arguments in three cases were com
pieted. One involved the changing OF
the home terminal of the Columbus
Portsmouth, Ohio, division from the for
mer 10 the latter place another asked
for reclassification of mine run service,
rating it under local instead of through
freight rates, and the third involved
branch line rates of pay.
The entire afternoon was spent in ar
gument over the pay due trainmen called
for duty and subsequently not used. The
point of controversy centred about what
constituted actual service. Present rules
provide one-fourth days pay when men
are called and not used and n full days
pay when they actually begin duty but
are later released. The board suggested
that a conference between Val F'itz-
patrick. vice-presdent OF the Brother
hood OF Railroad Trainmen. and William
]. jerks. general manager of the Nor
folk and Western, could clear up the
matter satisfactorily and the case was
withdrawn.
Similar disposal was made OF fe-
quest for minor notifications of the dis
cipline rule.

Every time we go to a circus we
swear to high heaven that we will
never permit ourselves to be stung by
a circus again. Yet, we go willingly
and anxieusly to the very next circus
that shows up. In a measure the
usual circus is nothing but cleverly
designed method of getting money
quick. It may have a few forthwhi1e
features but it depends mostly on the
noise and The crowd for it's attraction.
It probably costs a lot of money these
days even to run a small circus so
every means must be used to extract
every possible cent from the towns
enroute. Witness the recent visit of
circus here. After person had
paid to get in, it cost him nearly as
