N. Y. Telephone
Issue lis Thrice
Oversubscribed
More Than 100000 Appli-
cations Received; Allot-
ments May Be Filled Out
With Tel. & Tel. Stock

j. 5. McCulloh, commercial vice -pres-
ident of the New York Telephone Com
pany, announced yesterday that total
subscriptions to the recent Offering of
$25 100000 cumulative 61a per cent pre-
ferred stock amounted to $500 900, or
more than three times the amount of
the issue Because of the necessity of
scaling down the subscriptions, which
makes the allotments range from one
to five shares, applicants are given the
right to make the full investment indi-
Gated by their applications by purchas-
ing from one to twenty shares of Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph stock at
the prevailing market, which, according
TO yesterdays closing quotation on the
Stock Exchange. was approximately
1922 a share.
The basis of allotment on the sub
scriptions to the New York Telephone
issue was one share on applications for
one and two shares, two shares on an
plications for from three to eight
shares, three shares on applications for
from nine to fifteen shares, four shares
on applications for from sixteen to
eighteen shares, and five shares on ap-
plications for nineteen and twenty
shares. Any stock allotted that is de-
clined will be re-alotted to other ap-
plicants, Mr.. McCulloh said.
More than 100000 persons applied
for the shares. Mr.. McCulloh said that
the completed summary of the aplica-
tions showed that the company's offer
appealed particularly to men and wom-
en- seeking permanent investment.
more than 10 per cent of the appli
cations he continued "were for ten
shares or less and more than 60 per
cent, or 63,148 applications, were for
five shares or less. There were 22,124
APPLICATIONS for one share, 17,737 appli-
cations for two shares, 5,483 applica-
tions for three shares, 2,29O applica-
tlons for four shares and 1854 appl-
cations for five shares. The applica
tions for from six to ten shares totaled
1880, representing 1901 800, and the
applications for from eleven to nine
teen shares numbered 1879 and repre-
sented $1,996,700 There were $4,000 an
plications for the maximum allotment
OF twenty shares, representing $49,-
2l8,000"
The great bulk of the applications,
according to Mr.. McCulloh, was OBJ
tanned by the company's employees, al
though many applications were re-
celved through investment houses. Be
cause of the great success of the pres
ent Offering, he said, the company
hopes to continue the policy of placing
future issues or preferred stock direct
ly with It's customers.
Payments on the American Telephone
and Telegraph stock offered NAV be
made in installments of SIS a share a
month, 6 per cent interest being al
lowed on the monthly payments until
the stock is fully paid for, or payment
may be made in full at the time of
purchase.

FEDERAL CONTROL
OF SUGAR INDUSTRY

NEW YORK, March S.-Severe con-
demnation of the government control
of the sugar industry is contained in
the annual report of Earl d. Babst,
pres@ ent of the American Sugar Re
filming company which was read to the

trolled by legislative fiat and executive
order, without proper regard to ele-

ALLIANCE Between
MINERS and RAIL
WORKERS RATIFIED
(Bv Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, March S.-Ratifi-
cation of the articles of alliance be-
tween the union coal miners and rail
road workers was the only important
action taken today by the executive
board of the United Mine Workers of
America.
In making this announcement, Presi-
dent John l.. Lewis said the board de-
voted most of its time today to con-
sidering routine business and that no
reply had yet been received from
Frank harrington, president of the
Illinois miners who had been called on
by the board not to enter into the
negotiations of a wage agreement ap-
plying to Illinois alone.
The board in approving unanimous
ly the alliance with transportation
workers was said not to have discus
sed any connection between the al
lance and the threatened strike of
miners on April /. However, when the
articles were agreed to recently at
Chicago the rail union chiefs were in
formed by Mr.. Lewis that they were
not asked to join in a sympathetic
strike
Provide For Session
In brief the articles provide for rep
resentatives of the various unions be
ing called into session to discuss ways
and means for combating attacks or

had been made whether any meetina
had been called in connection with the
coal situation.

LONDON, March S.-Sir Arthur Bal

HOPE FOR SEPARATE

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March S.-De-
claring that adoption of the wage
scale and working conditions as de-
manded by the United Mine Workers
will mean nothing short of ruin to the
southern Ohio coal industry. southern
coal operators issued a statement here

that the National Miners union will

CONCRESSMEN URGE
ACCEPTANCE OF FORD
OFFER FOR SHOALS
(Bv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March s. South
ern members of congress headed by
the Alabama delegation appeared in
body before the house military COM
mittee today and through Representa-
tives Oliver Bankhead and Almon, all
of Alabama, appealed for the prompt
acceptance of the Henry Ford offer
for purchase and lease of the Muscle
Shoals government owned properties.
Memorials were presented by Repre-
sentative Oliver in an endeavor to
show that the people in Tennessee,
Alabama, Arkansas and Texas were
united in support of Mr.. Ford's offer
and equally as solidly opposed TO the
offer of the Alabama Power company.
The power company was represented
as a foreign owned monopoly by Rep
resentative Oliver who read memor-
ial signed by Alabama citizens declar-
ing it would be travesty on legisla-
ton eff the nations greatest water
power should be handed over to this
monopoly"
Acceptance is Donation.
Representative Almon read a pre-
pared statement in which he said that
acceptance by congress of the bid of
the Alabama Power company would
mean practically a donation by the
government of the large steam power
plant at Muscle Shoals nitrate plant
number two which cost S1,36,392. the
Gorgas plant and transmission lines
which cost s4,676,00O and the S17,0O0,-
600 which has been expended on the
construction of the Wilson dam max.
ing total of S34,002,382.
"If the offer of Henry Ford was not
in existence | do not believe the com
mittee or congress would consider foI
moment the acceptance of the Offer
of the Alabama Power company" the
statement added. "In the absence OF
the Ford offer the committee would
evidently recommend the completion
of the Wilson dam by the government
rather than make this donation to the
Alabama Power company"

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, March S.-For sew
eral days the press has devoted con
siderable space to reviews of Presi-
dent Harding's activities during mis-
first year in the White House. Very
little mention has been made as to
how Woodrow Wilson has occupied his
time during the same period. For
the most part he has remained Sc
cluded in his comfortable home,
steadily recovering from the physical
collapse which occurred about a year
before his retirement from the presi-
dency Today he has much of his
former vitality, indicated in recent
months by his political activities.
Nothing ever interested the former
president more than the political game
and for several months after leaving
the White House his health would not
permit him to do much along that line.
Mr. Wilson's political activities at
this time are confined to correspon-
dence with his favorites among the
Democratic leaders While the con-
dition of his health is satisfactory
now it is not such as to permit him to
address public gatherings. It is prob
able he will never be able to do that
again.
There are many in Washington who
believe that Mr.. Wilson now seeks
his former role of leader of the Dem
