of certain embargoes issued by rail-
roads during the rail and coal strikes.

HOW TO AVERT STRIKES

Dean, College OF Commerce,

The great need today is to create
sense OF public responsibility in
minds of employees of public utili-
ties.
Fifty years ago the task was to
Ak responsibility for public interest
upon managers of these companies.
This was slowly but successfully ac-
complished. In order to accomplish
the same result with employees Of
public utilities. we must have the
same deliberate development Of
regulation and the same progress in
education which was required in
case of managers.
There is no short cut and I doubt
If any man today can foretell the

counsel of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road Company. final details in the
modified plan for the segregation OF
the coal properties of the road Will
he whipped into shape and an early
submission of the plan is confidently
expected.
Reports circulated in the financial
district yesterday to the effect that
the plan already was in final form
| were denied by officials Of Lehigh
| Valley, who pointed out that under
| agreement with the attorney general
| the entire matter had been left I'M
touched during the absence from the
country of Mr.. Boles. Conferences be-
tween Mr.. Boles and the local rep

from the coal property provided tor
the retention of the Lehigh Valley
| Coal Company's Z per cent prefer
| red stock by the railroad company
and the free distribution of the coal
company's common stock among the

Justice was directed against this pro-
vision of the plan rather than that
part of It which dealt with Coke

outstanding issue of bonds which,

Corn closed 1-2 to T-S 9, 1 cent higher; oats up 1-4 a 3-8 to 1-2, and pro visions down to 50 cents.
 Foreign purchasing Of wheat was es+i- mated at 1,500,0C0 bIshels including bo1h old crop wheat and new. It was said Germany was in the market and paying the best premiums of the season. Aside from the bullish effect of export business, 1t was evident many traders had taken the position that a rally was due after the severe decline the last two days. The opening here was higher, aided by com parative strength Of Ljvrpool quotations, but proft-taking sales together with fav- oraDle crop reports from the southwest caused the market to drop soon to the lowest level touched of late, $1.3S 3-4 for May delivery.
