FIELD OF PHILANTHRorIsrs.

A FIELD OF PHILANTHROfIsTs.
NEW YORK. June 23.--one Of the
most successful speculative manipu-
lations In history has been en-
gineered by an ''unselfish" trader
who appeared on the stock ex-
change after months of absence and
let everybody know he was buying
stocks.
What he has been doing in his
absence is not so widely known.
AMERICAN sUMATRA DIVIDEND.
American Sumatra has been con-
tinually sold for the past two
months on reports Of poor business
and crop disease. all of which arc
emphatically denied by directors and
officials.
Now there is substantial short
interest.
Directors would ordinarily meet
for dividend action in July. How
ever, It is learned from reliable
source that a special meeting has
been called for this afternoon. Ac-
cording to those who should know.
the regular $2 quarterly disburse-
ment will be declared.
Investigation shows that the COM
pany's position warrants the divi-
dend payment
Such action would administer a
much needed lesson to the shorts and
reward the faith of those numerous
small holders who, believing the
statements Of officials, have refused
TO sell out despite the propaganda of
the bears.

Judgment and vigor OF thought to the de-
his consideration, his recent telegram re-
fuSing the request of railroad labor union
representatives that he investigate carrier
executives claims before the Railroad
Labor Board and take action to influence
The decision of that body, should dispose
or all doubt on that score.
In his reply. the President sets forth his
position on the appeals made to him in
telegram addressed Jointly To two OF the
railway labor unions and to the Associa-
ton OF Hallway Executives, who also had
sent communication to the White House
i'll regard to the matters at issue.
In effect, the President expresses conf
dcnce that all questions dealing with rail
road labor and management might be left
safely TO the two bodies intrusted under
the transportation act with such matters
the hallway Labor Board and the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Under this
act, he points out. all the issues which have
Etcn brought forward in the present con-
trovcrsy have been placed under the juris-
dCtion OF the one or the other of these
bodies with the authority of each specin-
cally defined. that there is no conflict
between the duties with which each is
charged. The Labor Board is composed of
nine members. representing in equal
strength the labor group. the management
group. and the public. and this board is
fully empowered to deal with all questions
pertaining to wage contracts. working con-
Gitions, etc. To a greater extent than any
previous legislation, the transportation act
places all questions dealing with finances
and railroad management and necessary
rates under the jurisdiction OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Hence. with clarity of expression and
force of logic that are absolutely convincing
as to the wisdom OF his position. the Presi-
dent points ont how manfcstly unwise it
would be for him II take any action which
would Interfere with the orderly procedure
OF these lawfully constituted bodies in
which he thinks every party al interest may
roposc entire confidence. For him to heed
the request of the unions would be to set
his judgment above the law. which was
enacted after many months. yes. years OF
congressional consideration, in the perfect
ing OF which the best thought of the coun-
try was brought To bear to work out Il
solution that would establish fair and au-
thortative methods for adjustment Of the
numerous controversies growing out OF the
operation Of the country's system of trans
portaton. Any other position than that
taken by the President would have brought
confusion to the administration Of the act
that would have resulted in interminable
difficulties.
