NEW YORK, Oct. 22-Danel Willard, president Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad in interview today,
expressed the belief that there will be nation wide strike
He also said that not wholly credtabe either to the
railway the employees and their leaders that
they should find themselves unable to adjust their differ

Mr.. Willard asked what his company would do in the
event of a strike.
81 would regret very much to the Baltimore and
Ohio leave the service" he replied Nevertheless if
they do it will be the duty of the Baltimore and Ohio
to make effort possible to operate the
property and furnish adequate transportation service to the
tpublic."
Mr.. Willard declined to specify what steps his railroad
already had taken in that connection Then he took the
rate question.

The tax bill continues to retair
the so per cent maximum rate OF
surtax and the Is per cent levy or
the incomes Of corporations.
Both propositions are, however. un
der fire, and sentiment in the Senate
is so closely divided as to offer 9
reasonable chance Of further amend
ment before the final ballot, while
the prospect of compromise in con
ference committee resulting In a fur
ther reduction of the surtax rate
with continued possibility of a sales
tax amendment, will leave the situa
ton unsettled up to the close of the
work in conference.
Credit and Investment Conditions.
Further liquidation of credit and
an increasingly large available sur
plus Of investment funds has re-
suited from the gradual marketing of
farm products. accelerated as this
has been by the fears of "tie up"
on the railroads.
The outlook is seen in the improv-
ing conditions under which money
can be had for commercial purposes
and the generally easier rate situa-
ton.
Although the advance In bonds
which has been so marked a feature
of the investment outlook during re-
cent weeks has been arrested by
the strike news, there can be no
doubt that easy money rates will
attract idle funds to the bond mar
ket for some time to come, par
tcularly as the income yields there
from are still more generous.
Difficulties In the marketing Of
the equipment certificates owned by
the Government have grown out of
the decision of the Senate leaders to
adopt the 80 per cent surtax rate, as
Chairman Meyer, of the War Finance
Corporation. has shown. and this
fact tends to improve the chances
of an amendatory provision which
will reduce the rate to a lower level.
The weakest spot in the present
credit situation is apparently still
on the export side.

u. S. May Again Take
Roads, Investors Say

The National Association Of Own
ers Of Railroad Securities, In a lengthy
statement issued following a meeting
Of its committee on public relations
yesterday. points out that the ultimate
result Of the existing trend Of condi.
tons will be Government control or
Government ownership Of the rail-
roads.
Tho conclusions Of the association
were arrived at following numerous
conferences Of its various committees
which were passed upon and approved
by the committee on Public Relations
yesterday.
These meetings were called to con-
sider the agitations in favor Of annul-
ment Of SECTION AZ of tho Transports
ton Act, which guarantees the rail-
roads a return equivalent to from 6h
to per cent on the aggregate value
Of their property.
The association has therefore de-
cided that:
"If section AZ with what 1t stands
for is to be stricken from the trans
portation act, after the fullest hear
ings and Investigations on all sides
that attended the writing of that
section into the act, then American
transportation does not deserve to
be supported through private invest
ment, and private ownership and op-
vive."
Government Supervision.
The association in June laid before
Congress a plan whereby the Gov
ernment would have more effective
supervision of the roads and would
be able to bring about numerous
economies.
This plan met with opposition from
railroad executives. who claimed II de-
stroyed individual initiative. Officials
Of the association point out that such
was not the case. however, as the
roads were left under the guidance of
their officers. Under the plan the
roads were all grouped and each group
was supervised by boards to represent
the Government, the people. and the
roads.
poftation act has not had any trial as
yet. Under its plan the act could be
enforced and would tend to solve the
problem on a basis that would bring

rates"

members. Copies will also be mailed
to- members of President Hardins's
Cabinet, Congressman, Senators. the
Interstate Commerce Commission. and
all others interested in railroad legis-
lation.
As to whether railroad rates
should be Immediately reduced or
not, the association takes no stand
but confines its statement wholly to

act which provides that rates be
made under which the return to the

Cinghams and Some De-
signs of Percales in De-
mand;; Lower Prices Ex-
pected i'm Few Months

A large number of drygoods jobbers
are in the primary market at present,
but are placing orders for fall sparing
ly except on a few items that are in
urgent demand. Ginghams, especially
the small checked designs, gingham ef-
fects in percalcs and sheets and pillow
tubings, are being ordered as far ahead
as selling agents are willing to accept
orders, and few of the sellers have
refused to take further orders at this
time.
Many fabrics, however, are still NOV
ing slowly and it is difficult to interest
buyers.
Among jobbers the opinion prevails
that lower prices will prevail in the
next few months, despite assertions of
the primary sellers that prices are fig
ured on actual cost plus a percentage
Of profit that is too small to enable the
mills to operate on it for any great
length of time. From reports coming
into the market from the mill sections.
it is indicated that many of the mill
owners are curtaling their production
as old orders run out and new orders
are not forthcoming at present prices.
Despite any great activity in the gray
Or unfinished goods markets, prices are
being firmly held by the mills. Brokers
said yesterday that numerous bids for
considerable quantities of goods at an
eighth of q cent under current market
prices we're refused by the mills.

Index Number Reveals Only
Slight Drop i'm Commodities

Dun's index number Of wholesale
quotations as OF June i reflects what
is believed to be slackening in the
downward price trend. The index mum
Der is based on the estimated per
capita consumption of each of the
many articles included in the compila-
tion.
"At s165.995 on June l." says q state
ment issued by r. c. Dun G. Co. yester-
day, "the present index number figure
Is only 0.4 per cent below that of a
month previous, and discloses the
smallest change since the readiust-
ment began more than year ago. The
decline last month compares with one
of "a per cent in April, al per cent
in March. 81 per cent in February and
6.f per cent in January, while the gem

would like your advice. What Is your
opinion OF railroad stocks in general as q
snfe investment as compared with good
industrial securities?-Mrs. u. +.
Answer - The difference between
holding Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's stock and guaranteed stock of
leased line is that the dividend on
the leased line security would be paid
unless the Pennsylvania was forced
into the hands of q receiver or. the
lease expired, whereas the company
might suspend its own dividend alto
gether Git has already reduced it) on
the common stock. On the other hand
in the case OF receivership, the guar
anteed stock might not fare as we'll
in the long run as the company s
own stock. The leased line stock of
the Minneapolis, st. Paul g. Sault Ste
Marie is rather a different case. The
500, which is controlled by the Cana
dian Pacific, is a Western road, capable
of handling much more traffic than it
now gets, and which will show presum-
ably increased earnings with increased
business The operating and financial
problems ahead of the Pennsylvania, on
the other hand, are serious and of
great magnitude. The stock of such
public utilities and industrials as the
American Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany and the preferred stock of the
United States Steel, American Car &
Foundry, etc, in our opinion, rank
ahead of the railroad stocks. On the
other hand the stocks of the motor car
and tire companies, packing house
companies and other industrials, such
as the sugar companies, are even more
highly speculative as rule than the
common stocks of the better class of
railroads.
