Railroad Financing Slim

Excepting for limited amount of
refunding and fair aggregate of
equipment truest offerings, bankers see
little prospect of much railroad finan-
cling between now and the end of the
year. Such business as is done will
almost certainly be arranged through
private negotiations. The end of the
agitation for competitive bidding may
not have arrived but TIL, ultimate dis
position Of the question is regarded
as settled. Many of the smaller in
vestment banking houses of the fnan-
cial district, however, are far from
satisfied at the result. Their conten-
ton is that they are competent to
handle the smaller issues and that for
the larger offerings a group of them
could band together and present bid
that would save the railroad at least
one commission. They point out that
the principal houses of issue depend
largely on them for ultimate distribu-
tlon and that the commission which
these houses receive might be saved.
Opposition to Tax-Exernpt Securities
The reiterated advocacy by Presi-
dent Harding Of measures to end the
emission by state, municipal or other
local governments of taX-exempt Sc
curities reported from Washington yes
terday met with sympathetic reception
in bond circles. The Investment Bank
ers' Association at it's recent convention
went on record on this subject, and
local bankers feel strongly that some
thing should be done to halt the unreg-
4llated increase of such securities. The
best legal opinion is that the Consti-
tuition supports the right to issue
bonds of this class and that a consti-
tutional amendment would be neces-
sary to stop the practice. Doubt exists
that such an amendment could be put
into effect for several years, if ever.
and meantime it is thought that legis-
lation terminating the practice might
be adopted. This would certainly be
attacked in the courts, it was said yes
terday, but the action would discour-
age, temporarily at least, the outpour-
ing OF tax-exempt issues.

to gain the decision in their match
at the Capitol Theater last night.
AS clean a wrestler as ever worked
in the Capitol. De Werdt caught
Turner with a scissors hold out of
which he could not work his way
and pinned him for the first fall
after eighteen minutes of fast
work
Turner came back strong and
during the second session had the
Belgian on the defensive practically
all the way. The foreigner had to
give up when Turner caught him
in a crab hold in which any at
tempt to get out of would probably
have proven injurious. The fall
took thirty-six minutes. Turner
gained the last fall and match
after sixteen minutes of hard work
with a chancery hold.

to give each child above the second

Hundreds on Part, Time

Conforming to the general econ

the various departments of the gov

and Printing yesterday launched its
plan to lay of 500 employees a day.
Under the system being tried by
the bureau, each empioye affected by
the plan will lose three and a half
days a week, it was explained by the
officials who devised this means Of
preventing a drastic reduction Of the
personnel.
As the average salary of the per
diem and piece rate workers Is es-
timated to be 50 a day, the new sys-
tenn Is calculated b save the gov
ernment s2.4oo a day, OF s14.4oo a
week.
BY keeping the entire force en-
ployed on a part-tme schedule, the
officials OF the bureau are sure of an
available force suffieient to take care
OF an emergency.
No permanent separations from the
service are expected by the officials.
who believe that tie Increase In the
volume of work toldevolve upon the
department after July will require
the full time of thl entire personnel.
The new appropriation for the de-
partment will be available at this
time, and will proiide for the return
to the old SYSTEM Of full time.
