Desire Public Sentiment.

Never before has there been such a
playing up to the public" as in the
existing controversy between the rail
roads and the brotherhoods.
This is because both sides recognize
that public sentiment is likely to be
the governing factor in the result. 1t
is always difficult to secure an un.
biased opinion In Wall Street regarding
labor troubles. as the majority are
too closely involved to be neutral.
However. a partner In one of the
largest commission houses issued this:
"A serious strike seems to be impossi-
bic in the present state Of general busi-
mes and the public mind, except that
the railroads have handled the whole
question In some ways with very poor
judRment and in far too arbitrary a
spirit"
This opinion. II should be remember
ed, is uttered by a man who often rep.
resents large holders of various rail
road stocks and whose firm handles
millions of dollars of business in rail-
road securities annually.
Inasmuch as the Public Group Of
the Labor Board has recommended that
the roads reduce rates to equalize that
last cut In wages before trying to put
into effect the 10 per cent cut now de-
sired II would seem that labor has won
the first battle for public supportn
The Washington times., 1921-10-18
Look to the President.

Security holders. traders, brokers,
bankers and, in fact all those usually
characterized as "Wall Street." are
looking to the President to avert the
threatened strike.
In some respects the street may be
regarded as being behind the scenes.
and II believes there is a great deal
Of bluffing going on. For this rea.
son the general feeling Is that before
the men walk out the President will
call a conference and lay down the
law.
Under existing business conditions,
1t is feared that a general walk out
of the roads would precipitate a crisis
similar to 1894 Then the cost OF the
outlaw strike to the roads is well
known, and II is difficult to under.
stand why the executives have appar.
emily taken the stand Of almost invit.
Ing strike, which could only prove
several times more costly than the
unauthorized walk-out of last year.
The Washington times., 1921-10-18
Pertinent Factors.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.--Win they go
out?
Looks as though there really may be
. railroad strike.
Those low priced rails continue to
look weak.
Are the railroad executives bluffing?
Are the workers bluffing?
These and similar comments one
hears in the street, with here and there
a farsighted trader keeping an anxi-
Gus eye on the now low levels reached
daily by marks.
For the past month the financial
district has realized that trouble was
brewing on the railroads. The ma
jority OF brokers and traders refused
to take II seriously. Buy the rails
was the constant cry. Now the strike
question has become serious and has
CT eated uneasiness. -. 'H., E.r.@
In normal periods the market
strengthens on strike news and con-
tinues upward during a strike. This
is rather an abnormal period, how

A Preferred Stock Bargain.
A. E., Fourteenth street, have
been reading your department for
some time and notice that you have
frequently mentioned Bethlehem
Steel per cent preferred stock with
other industrials.
Do you still regard 1t as a good
investment? l have no experience
in buying stocks. but am thinking
Of investment in five shares Of Beth.
lehem, as I have a little over $500
and by putting It into this stock I
would be doubling my income.
Answer - For some unexplained
reason Bethlehem Steel per cent pre-
ferred has been thrown on the bargain
counter. For the past two months II
has been under par. and Is about IL
points under the high OF 1920.
II comes ahead Of the per cent
stock and Of the common. In the last
four years dt WAS issued in 1910 earn
ings applicable to the s per cent pre-
ferred have averaged more thap $50
a share, but this fact, however, Is no
indication that earnings In the next
four.year period will come anywhere
near this figure.
Bethlehem's war earnings are a
thing Of the past, but there Is no
doubt, we believe, that earnings will
be sufficient to we'll protect the pre-.
ferred dividend.
We are still Of the opinion that the
stock is a good investment issue, espe
cially attractive now on account Of the
low price.

The European Situation.

The continued decline in marks is
mainly due to the uncovering Of the
truth.
Until the last few weeks those re.
turning from Europe brought bright
tidings of the valor Of the people.
how hard they were working. etc.
They avoided the knotty problem OF
how Germany was to continue the
indemnity payments and what would
be the result of Frances attitude in
the event of non-payment. That is
the problem now causing trouble.
Private opinions expressed by Ger.
tain leaders recently returned from
abroad have not been encouraging
On the solution OF the difficulty rests
the welfare OF our foreign trade.
Hence II will exert a powerful influ.
ence on the trend of the market.
