$3.50, 900 TRACTOR SUIT
LOST BY HOLLANDERS
Fail to ProUe They Sold Big
Number in Europe.

A suit for s75o,0o0 brought by Jules
schnerb and Joseph Wegimont. both
Hollanders, against tho Holt Manufac-
turing Company. maker Of caterpillar
type of tractor. was dismissed yester-
day by Judge Augustus N. Hand in the
United States District Court
Schnerb and Wegimont declared they
had obtained the exclusive agency for
the tractors in France, Belgium and
other parts of Europe and Africa. They
asserted they introduced the tractor into
Europe at q time when its use was
practically unknown and that large
numbers of orders for the Holt conf
pany had resulted. They said they had
interested the British military authori-
ties in the caterpillar tractor, and to
substantiate these claims had called
army officers here from England to
testify.
Attorneys for che Holt company held
that the plaintiffs had failed to show
instrumentality in selling the large num-
bcr OF tractors, and Judge Hand so de-

OPPOSED TOFARMER
ON RESERVE BOARD
National City Bank Says Pro-
posaI Itself Is Enough to
Condemn Plan.

The proposal 10 have "dirt farm
err as q member Of the Federal Reserve
Board is attacked by the National City
Bank OF New York in it's monthly bulle-
tin, not so much from the pont OF view
OF direct results. as from the angle that
the arguments advanced for tho appoint
ment OF a farmer have been thoroughly
unsound. The arguments, the bank says.
are based upon the theory of conflicting
class interests false theory, charac-
teristic of people who are still in a prim-
tive state OF mentality and which is re-
sponsible for an incalculable amount OF
mischief.
II is not true, 1t is contended that the
interests of bankers or manufacturers or
merchants as class are in conflict with
the interests of farmers as a class, and
any legislation proceeding upon that
theory and fostering the idea is bad leg
islation. The banks expression OF view
continues:
1T Is not true that the administration
OF the Federal Reserve banks has dis
criminated against the farmers or been
Indifferent to their interests. That pre-
posterous charge is now answered by
the report OF the Agricultural Joint Com
mission OF Inquiry. headed by Congress
man Anderson of Minnesota which says
that it has found no basis for II.
"The argument that q farmer should
be on the Reserve Board to look after
the interests of the farmers is enough OF
itself to condemn the proposal. for an
appointee who entered the board feeling
that he was charged especially to look
after the interests of any class would be
disqualified from the beginning. He
would have a mistaken Idea OF his
duties. and II he undertook TO perform
them according to that idea he would
render very poor service to everybody,
farmers included"

OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK.
Bank Sees Cuisines Getting "a Lit
tie Better Every Day.

Cheerfulness as TO business conditions
and the outlook is expressed in the
monthly review of the American Ex-
change National Bank, which says in
part: Business is getting a little bet
ter every day. Some trades show steady
progress, while in others progress is
irregular, but, even in the latter. the
situation has improved and net gains
are Indicated
'"rhc Improvement in the main is due
TO steady increase in volume of hand to
mouth buying as n result OF gradual
elimination Of surplus stocks and invcn-
tories.> This Improvement is slowly re-
building confidence In the price basis,
and there have already been cases OF
speculative buying in some more active
trades"

DECEMBER RAIL
REPORTS MISLEAD
Bookkeeping Plan Makes Op-
Grating Income More Than
Real Amount.

Railroad operating reports announced
Yesterday gave further evidence that
the net earnings shown In the Decem-
her statements will have virtually no
comparative value with the net earnings
for the same month OF 1920. This cir
cumstancc arises from distortion Of net
operating income caused by accounting
adjustments incident 10 the end OF the
year.
The rcvlsions at the end OF 1921 In
most cases were rendered more drastic
than usual by additional adjustments
for lapover items from the Federal con-
troll and guaranty periods and from n
recent ruling of the Interstate Com
nerce Commission covering the entry
OF charges for maintenance. The roads
began 1921 by calculating their main
tenance budgets for the year and charg-
inr of one-twelfth OF the whole In each
months statement. regardless OF whether
II ives actually expended or not.
In any given month of the year under
this practice the road is likely TO spend
more or less than the months allotment
OF maintenance. owing TO current
weather. labor or other conditions. Last
fall. however, the commission ruled that
each months statements should show
the amount actually spent In that month.
with adjustments so that no money
epent on maintenance In 1921 should be
carried over into the 1922 accounts.
The net effect of this adjustment In
many December reports will be 20 de-
press that months operating expenses
and show a disproportionately large net
operating income.
