WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
(From oar Special CoTrespondent)

Washington, Jan. 6.-The Executive
Committee of the Virginia Tubercu-
losis Association with headquarters
at Richmond has sent telegram to
Senators Glass and Swanson, and
Representative Bascom Slemp, OF
Virginia, protesting against the re-
ported issuance of an executive or
der abolishing reserve corps officers
of the U. S. Public Health Service
and placing them on a civilian status
Similar protests have come from
veterans of the World War who are
now confined in the 70 hospitals
throughout the country operated un'
der the supervision Of the Public
Health Service.
Inquiry at the White House today
developed the fact that the President
has no intention of issuing any such
order and that il he was favorable to
such action he would be prevented
from doing so because these physic-
ians are now serving under provls-
ions of prescribed law and Congress
itself would have to amend the law
before any change is made. The dis.
abled soldiers feel that if doctors of
the Public Health Service were
placed under the Civil Service and
their pay and allowance reduced, 1t
would result in wholesale resigna-
tions from the service. The Tuber-
culosis Association of Virginia points
out that any such action would en-
danger the federal cars of tuberculo-
sis ex-service men through disor-
ganization of the medical staffs OF
the federal hospitals.

The political situation was responsible
for some hesitation in the stock market
the last week, while Liquidation from
outside sources progressed in some df-
rections. On the other hand the good
demand for investment securities con-
tinued, especially in British bonds,
which. after a slight reaction, closed the
week in good form. The strength Of
these is based on the prospect OF a de-

regarded as only a question Of time.

to attract a fair amount of support,

The outlook for the market was OBJ

object OF Steel Price Cuts.

Steel makers cut prices hoping there
by to increase their volume OF orders
and through such increase to reduce
their overhead costs and make a little
money. There is no unfavorable deduc-
tion to be made from competitive price
cuts and favorable one Is to be made
from the fact that the country's mill
activities have risen from around 40 per
cent. OF capacity. perhaps a little lower.
on January ! to So per cent. Plants
which make railroad materials are de-
cidedly busy in certain localities.
The steel trade is doing better, the
railroads are loading more cars than
they were year ago and with the ex-
ception OF last weeks showing they
have recorded weekly expansion OF traf-
fic movement shince early last autumn.
The farmers are able to make the por-
tion OF last years crops in their hands
buy considerably more merchandise than
was possible six months ago, and the
world outlook signifies that American
food products will have good market
in the next autumn and winter. Things
in many lines are measurably better
than when the year opened. but It is not
time to begin predictions that a great
period of prosperity is just around the
corner
The railroads win present subject
for much study before the spring is far
advanced. Business being as it Is. IL is
not conceivable that the carriers will
report soon record tonnages OF freight
for big profits. The earnings statements
thus far received indicate January net
revenues at a rate. perhaps. OF rs per
cent. a year on their property invest
ments. That is not enough by a good
deal to make railroading worth while.
IL is not enough to insure many of
them of their fixed charges and adequate
upkeep. 1t is not enough to make rad-
road investment attractive to capital.
