FISK RUBBER OFFERS
new FINANCING PLAN
Directors Would Pay Back Divi-
dends on Preferred by Short
Term Note Issue.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. ~
NEW YORK, November 26.-Direc-
tors of the Fisk Rubber Co. today sub
mitted to stockholders a plan for the
payment of accumulated preferred
stock dividends and recommendations
TO provide additional working capital.
Stockholders will vote on the proposal
on December IL. and at the same time
will be asked to authorize the issuance
of $40. .000. 900 in short-term notes.
The accumulated dividends on the
first preferred stock now amount 70
S26 a share and on the second pre-
ferred stock to about $31 a share. In
settlement of the dividends on the
first preferred stock it is proposed to
offer stockholders 81 in cash and S25
in first preferred convertible stock
which will be entitled to Z per cent
dividends, ranking equally with the
present first preferred stock and will
be convertible into four shares OF COM
mon stock at any time up to Decem.
Der 81 1885. When all the dividends
on the first preferred stock are paid,
it Is proposed to offer to second pre-
ferred stockholders in payment OF
their accumulated dividends common
stock, to be taken at a valuation OF
not less than S25 Il share.
The company pointed out that in
view of the increase in the price OF
crude rubber to 81 a pound, working
capital requirements would be greatly
increased, and although 1t has net
current assets OF SIS ,000, 900, Of which
$500 900 are in cash, 1t was conSid-
cred desirable to procure additional
working capital as insurance against
contingencies which might arise.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
CzechosIOyakia Bonds.

Two Czechoslovak cities have sold
bonds in the American market, one
the city of Carlsbad. The Prague
issue carries a tx per cent coupon
is due May 1. 1852, and is secured by
a first mortgage on the public util-
tiles owned by the city.
These bonds were first offered in
June. 1922, at 921a and this year to
date have sold as low as 80 and as
high as 9S7s At a price of 941a the
maturity yield is just per cent. The
sinking fund operates to buy bonds
in the open market up to par, but If
they are not obtainable at that price
thew may be drawn by lot for re-
demption at par. Therefore, as far
as the sinking fund Is concerned,
there is nothing to prevent price
advance to the neiighborhood of par
provided financial and economic con-
ditions in Czecholovakia generally,
and in the city of Prague in partic-
ular, show Improvement as time goes
by.
The Carlsbad city obligation is an
8 per cent issue, offered in April, 1924,
and due January 1, 1854. The offering
price was 941a and the bonds have
sold more than points above par this
wear. The security is a generally lien on
all municipality owned property and a
specific charge on the income from
these properties. In this case as a mar
ket factor the sinking fund provision is
even more important than in the case
of the Prague bonds. 1t does not begin
to operate until July ], 1927, but at
that time it is to be applied to the
purchase of bonds in the open mar
ket, if obtainable at not over par,
and to semi-annual drawings at par
in case they are not so obtainable.
Theoretically, this would work to hold
down the market price two years
hence.
Both the Prague and the Carlsbad
bonds are available in $500 pieces and
the Carlsbad in 500 denominations
besides the standard $1,000 unit. In a
general way it may be said that the
risks attaching to all the Czechoslo-
yak bonds, both the obligations Of the
central government and of the vari-
Gus municipalities, are more political
than financial. Assuming political
stability in Central Europe, Czecho-
slovakia may be relied upon to work
out its financial problem satisfactorily:

CHARGE ON CHECKS

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The regulations issued by the Fed
eral Reserve Board prohibiting ma
tional banks and member clearing
banks from charging exchange on
checks drawn upon them and forward
ed through Federal Reserve banks for
collection, and the law under which
the action was taken. were in effect
sustained yesterday by the Supreme
Court.
The par clearance controversy came
before the court in an appeal by the
PaScagoula National Bank of Moss
Point and Pasacagoula, Miss, which
was refused an injunction by the
United States Court for Northern
Georgia, where it first challenged the
constitutionality of the law and the
regulations under which the Federal
Reserve Bank of Atlanta. required it
to remit in full on checks drawn
upon it.
Counsel for the Pascagoula Bank
was frequently interrupted from the
bench as he presented his oral argu-
ment, the members of the court
plainly showing their inability to sup
port his contentious that the law and
regulations took property from his
client without compensation. When
he had completed his argument Chief
Justice Taft, after a haSty conference
with his associates, announced that
it would not be necessary for the At.

will be TO bring n dismissal of the ap-
peal thus giving full effect to the
decision OF the Georgia court.

National banks, under the Federal
Reserve system, he insisted, had not
surrendered all their inherent rights,
but retained a constitutional power
to require compensation for services
rendered and could not be compelled
to bear all the expense of forwarding
remittances to pay checks drawn
upon them.
The principal purpose of the con-
tested provision of law and the regu-
lations was to enable the Federal
Reserve banks to build up reserves,
he asserted, estimating that national
