"A Firm Stand For the
World Court.

The presidents answer to those wht
have intimated that he might be sway
ed from his support of the worlt
court by opposition within his owl
party. is very clear and definite. HI
makes it by devoting the first speech
of his visit to the people almost Who'll
ly to this subject, and by ringing ap-
peal to the heart and conscience OF
America in behalf of this great hope
for world peace.
The president has not been cowed in.
to silence by the minority of his party
which had taken stand against him
He has not trimmed. He is for the
world court first, last and all the time
1t is true that he offers an olive
branch to opposing Republicans by
suggesting ways to make the world
court wholly independent of the
League of Nations, though he con.
fesses that he sees no objection in the
present association, which entails upon
us no obligations toward the League
if we join the court. But if it will
make the opposition feel better, he
is willing to ask, the members of the
court to provide either that the court
shall be self-continuing, or that nom
nations to it's membership shall be
made by the permanent court of arbi-
tration.
Probably this hand offered to the
minority DIRECTORS will be spurned, fol-
in the main they seem to be playing
political game which involves op.
position to his proposal in any form
whatever. They are opposed to the
court because they are opposed to him
But that is of little consequence. They
constitute very small minority, they
have few followers, and the great ma
iority of the American people will
be behind the president in his effort
to put America squarely into the
world court.
The presidents appeal for the court
was eloquent, sincere and convincing
He longs for peace. as the peoples OF
a war-stricken world long for peace
He sees that the only hope of peace
is that the nations may be led to sub
init their differences to world court
He sees a world court, admirably
constituted, splendidly manned and do.
ing good work, already in operation
He wants America in that court, as
he wants all nations in it. He wants
America to do its share for worlc
peace, and through membership in this
court he sees its chance to do tina,
/. share. Therefore, he is for the cour,
with Americe in it. "My resolution
is fixed" he said solemnly; "my MIND
is made up." This is the answer tt
those within his own party who had
hoped to sway him by their threats OF
opposition and revolt. 1t is the right
answer, and he will find that the Am.
erican people are with him in it by an
overwhelming majority.-Duluth Her.

RAIL ROAD WORKERS ASK
INCREASED WAGE Level
NEGOTIATIONS to Be Opened With
Roads to Raise Salaries of
Employees.

CHICAGO, April 21.-Negotiations
On all roads for an increase in
wages to the level in force prior to
July /, 1921, will be opened by gem
erai chairmen of the Brotherhood of
Freight Handlers and Station En-
ployes, II was decided at a meeting
here of representative general chair
men, who left after a two-day con-
ference To open negotiations with
their respective road officials.
The conference here was the last
of four held in various sections of
the country. General chairmen from
eastern roads met in Buffalo on April
10 and voted for higher wages, and
the same action was taken at a
meeting Of expressmen in Cincin-
natl on April IA and at meeting
of southern general chairmen in
Atlanta April 10.
The Increase which the clerks now
want, If granted by the roads, will
wipe out cut by the United States

10 cents in the various classes, and
another on July !, 1922, reducing
them from to cents.
A committee representing mainte-
nance of way men in the northwest
ern region Of the Pennsylvania read
met here today with road officials in
wages. About 1900 men are en-
pIoyad In this branch in the north

expected to be followed by the 5000
men in the other regions. of the

NEW YORK, April 2l.-Business
aggregating more than S10,000,0O0
annually was said today to be in
volved in the suit filed by the Penn
sylvania railroad and other lines TO
nullify the Interstate Commerce Com
missions order permitting the New
York Central Lines to purchase the
stock of the Chicago River and In
diana railroad.
Knowledge of the suit. which was
filed in the United States district
court of northern Illinois. became
public yesterday when the New York
Central filed an answer.
The Pennsylvania was said to have
the backing of the Baltimore and
Ohio. Chicago, indianapolis and
Louisville. the Grand Trunk Western,
the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati. Chicago
I'D St. Louis and the Wabash. Appli-
cation is made for a temporary in
'junokion pending a permanent order
nv virtue OF it's order, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission becomes
A defendant in the action.
&c. c. Ruling OF 1921.
In the face of concerted opposition,
the commission, in May. 1921, decided
that the New YORK central could &C
ouire the stock of the Chicago River
and Indiana railroad and obtain con-
troll of the Chicago junction railroad
under a nincty-nine-year lease. The
latter'S tracks cover the Chicago
stock yards and adjacent manufacture
+Hg territory, while the Chicago River
and Indiana, a road three miles long,
connects the stock yard tracks with
outside lines. Control of the two by
the New York Central. rival roads
held. gave the latter road strategic
position in the heart of the Chicago
packing and manufacturing districts.
Bearing on Other Cases.
The action was considered of ex-
IRENE Importance in railroad circles.
in that the result of the suit may
nave a bearing on other similar in
stances. 1t was pointed out that II
rhe action in connection with the
chicago Junction lease, which is for
1inety-n nine years, is upheld in the
courts, there might be a basis for a.
similar action against the Pennsyl-
vania itself The latter road has a
Ief,se on the Pan Handle properties.
# was declared by railroad men
that were all such leases, both east
snd west Of the Mississippi river. to
ha contested on like grounds, prac-
fically every railroad in the country
would be accepted.

Central's success in acquiring termi- :
nal properties has virtually given 1t

Danger of Initiation Biggest
Problem IN Financial World
Feared High Prices May Check Demand
for Goods--Money Situation Good.
Trade Pause Called Desirable. :

week has seen easier rates for call
money and for bankers acceptances,
and decidedly larger offerings OF time
funds at the concession demanded by
borrowers.
The two features which must be re-
garded as unfavorable have often
been set forth and discussed. The
first is the increase in wages. which
other is the excessive outpour Of new
securities. A condition where wage
costs are on the increase and where
business men are afraid to meet these
smaller profit margins. This IL con
sideration which unquestionaoiy mas
been in the Wall street market Tor
the last month. 1t means that the
enthusiastic calculations or NV two
months ago regarding company earn
ings have had to be revised.
1t has also been recognized that the
issuing Of new securities has peen
carried too far likewise.
Trade Pause Desirable.
Nothing has cropped out in the
trade news Of the week to warrant
any feeling of pessimism. Such pause
as has occurred from the feverish &C
tivity OF last month Is altogether de-
sirable. IT Is a good thing that buy
ers OF steel no longer have to pay
premiums for prompt delivery and
that prices have been shaded. The
break in the speculative cotton mar
ket is favorable for the outlook in
cotton goods. These are two impor-
tant instances. which point toward a
check upon advancing prices. and
which. accordingly. are an assurance
that the situation has been taken in
time TO prevent a recurrence OF the
troubles of 1920.
Sugar Position Strong.
The sugar trade is in a quite diff
ferent position. for here all the recent
data tend TO support the lowered es-
Inmates Of the Cuban crop and hence
to indorse the view that if there is
no actual shortage in 1923 the icla-
ton between world production and
consumption is going TO be abnormal
ly small. Sugar retiners have fought
against this conclusion, as is not sur
pristng. So have representatives Of
the American beet sugar industry, be-
cause growers of sugar beets are
supposed to have pretty we'll sold
out at prices we'll under the present
and are therefore in no position to
get their share Of the advantags Of
any further rise.
Now the government has taken
steps in an attempt to restrain what
1t is pleased TO call an "unwarranted
speculation in sugar futures The
outcome of the court proceedings will
be awaited with the utmost interest
IL the sugar trade is right and the
government fs wrong on the question
or demand and supply and the justice
or the recent price advance, il will
De one or the worst fiaScos in years.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 21.-The fore
most topic of discussion at the close
OF the present week is whether or
hot the general business movement
can continue at the pace set during
the last two months without involv-
ing the danger of imitation and an
other unpleasant experience like that
of three years ago
In this article a week ago, the
opinion was given that trade expan-
sion had gone about as far as 1t was
'likely TO go. With the steel mills
operating above 80 per cent of capac-
.ty, with the manufacturers of woolen
and cotton goods working overtime.
with a record output Of pig iron and
with the railroads handling the
targest traffic ever known at TINS
season of the year. there was hltle
more TO be expected III the way or
increase.
Price Movement Big Factor.
But il IS quite Il different thing to
say that the business volume has
teached its peak, and TO say that a
Serious downward turn is imminent.
Everything depends upon the future
price movement If malt is not called
u is conceded on all sides that con-
sumption will be curtailed. and then a
serious reaction will set in. II. on the
contrary. the tendency toward rising
prices is check ed, there is no reason
10 look for any important change
from present conditions.
The Depa rtment of Commerce. sum
rnarizing results for March. has shown
that production in many lines was
Well up To the top of three years ago.
but it has also pointed out that whole
sale prices on the average are still
81 per cent away from the high of
hat time.
This is one Of the two most i'm
portant elements of difference be-
tween the situation now and that OF
1920. The second is that, so far,
neither the great enlargement of
trade nor the advance i'll security
prices has brought any strain upon
o}e credit structure. The banks have
depended upon their own resources to
meet the increased demands. and
have been very sparing III their use
of the rediscount facilities Of the fed
aral reserve.
There is in round numbers a billion
dollars of gold more in the country
'oday than there was in 1919. and
while this constitutes temptation to
initiation. il is, nevertheless, an i'm
Iense extra credit reserve.
