Security Owners Urge
Cancellation With Labot

NEW YORK, April II. - Haly
Flske, president of Metropolitan Life
insurance company and member OF
tn executive committee Of the National
Association OF Owners of Railroad Sc
curitles, informed A. H. Smith. presi-
dent of New York Central Railroad
In letter given out here today that
some railroads are making a mistake
in their attitude toward labor. 1t was
in reply to Mr.. Smiths letter to S.
Davies Warfield, president of the asso-
citation, taking exception to the posi-
ton OF the associations executive COM
mittee in conferrng with representa-
tives of railroad employees.
Your assumption" MIR. Fiske wrote
that in seeking conference with the
labor representatives, the most I'M
portant element in the present prob
lem, we were pretending to represent
you or your board, was quite unwar-
ranted. We very frankly put our real
position before these organizations and
the public. We think the present
truculent attitude of some railroad ad-
ministratlons towards the operatives
and the unions great mistake which
may lead to disaster and that it is
time that all concerned in the prop
critics should show some conciliatory
disposition at least to the extent of
endeavoring to get the point of view
OF labor, to seek some method of ne
gotiation to end the present impasse."
Mr.. Fiske stated that the Metropo1-
itan Life Insurance Company holds
securities of the New York Central
Railroad and its subsidiaries amount
ing to nearly S23,00o,0o0 par value In
addition, it has On its books loans and
agreements to lend more than So
100000 on bonds and mortgages upon
real estate ito finance your opera
tons in the neighborhood of your ter
minal."
Although" he added, "our finan-
cial interest amounts to S32,000,O00
This is about IS per cent of our total
investment in railroad securities.
Frankly it disturbs US" Mr.. Fiske
added, ito have your board of direc-
tirs say that they represent in their
dealings with the present condition OF
affairs the stakeholder, without any
recognition of the superior 'obligar
tons of the railroad companies. 1t
may very we'll be that as matters are
now threatening, the stock will be-
come rather negligible quantity, the
bonds will never become so. Our in
terest in your company is vital one.
1t is very disturbing to read that YOU
are disposed to ignore this interest
1t is even more disturbing to find
yourself and the board resent any
action on our part to protect our in
terests"

Income Tax Returns Are Being Filed All Over the Country-Less
 Money Than Year Ago.

Washington. March 15.-The Amer ican people today had their annual day of reckoning. Their laboriousIy reckoned incomes and business profits for the year of 1920 were presented in tax returns to collectors of inter- nal revenue throughout the country
 The United States government as a result will be richer tonight by ap- prouimatesy s500.000,000, according to an estimate by Secretary of Treas ury Mellon. But the riches will not be for long for the receipts will be needed immediately to relieve short term borrowings or certificates of in- debtedness issued by the government amounting to s500,oo0,000.
 Some fiscal experts at the treas ury expect today's income and excess profits receipts to approximate s600,- 100000. If such is the case the ex- tra funds will find a ready use in ap- plication to the public debt and re- demption of war savings securities.
 Receipts a year ago today were $500, 100000. but the general depres- sion experienced during the last half of 1920 was counted on to decrease the total incomes and profits report ed

Pessimism Has No Place
in the Real Spirit of
Time Of Thanksgiving

After having devoted so much Of
our time to bemoaning the misfortunes
that have come to us as people dur
ing the past year, 1t will do us good
on this Thanksgiving day to stop and
look at the other side of the ledger
and cast up the account Of the good
things that have come to us.
Our situation admittedly has not
been as favorable In many respects as
we could desire. We have had prob
lens and difficulties which naturally
aroused dissatisfaction and discomfort.
We have been feeling mighty sorry
for ourselves.
Perhaps Thanksgiving occasion could
bring no greater blessing to us as a
people than to readjust our perspec-
tive and displace pessimIsm with a
new spirit of optimism.
Before we enter into the true spirit
of the day 1t is necessary to put away
our hatreds, our grouches and discon-
tents and center our thoughts upon
the blessings that have come. If one
would give thanks he must realize the
fact of having been blessed, and In
doing so he minimizes the misfortunes
he has experienced. The pessimist is
In no position to give thanks. The
spirit of optimism will possess us to
the extent that we are able to give
thanks In spirit and in truth to the
Oliver Of All Good Gifts today.
While we have been divinefy warned
against giving thanks that we are not
as other men, It will surely not be out
of place today to recognize the excess
of blessings that have come to us in
comparison with other peoples, and to
render thanks in accordance with the
favors received.
For the fact remains that, In spite
of our difficulties, we are the most
prosperous and the most favorably sit
uated nation on the earth and that
we have more reasons for contentment
and gratitude than any other people.
This Thanksgiving day, If observed
In the spirit of those who inaugurated
1t, is capable Of lifting the spirit and
thought of the American people to new
heights and of ushering In new era
of contentment and happiness.
Thanksgiving day comes to mean
today not only an occasion when we
may express our gratitude to the Most
High for His care and kindness in the
past, but likewise a time when by
marshaling our blessings before us we
are inspired with new hope and cour-
age for the future.
