CHANGES EXPECTED.
IN SHIPPING BOARD
Control of Personnel by Cool
/ idge Likely to Affect
Policies.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Important changes in policy are in
evitable in the Shipping Board, eSpe-
cially as President Coolidge now ap-
pears to have the upper hand in the
matter Of personnel. For time his
policies were opposed by men unsym-
pathetic with his program, and he be-
tieVed Congress would give him the
necessary legislation to change the
whole scheme Of. things i'm the Ship
ping Board.
Congress, however, has declined to
change the present method of sec
tional representation which guides the
President in making appointments. In
fact, the tendency has been so pro
nouuced that Mr.. Coolidge has been
compelled openly to recognize section
al representation in appointments he
promises to make to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Sympathetic Men Sought.
Feeling, therefore. that the present
system is to be retained, Mr.. Coolidge
is endeavoring to make the best Of
it by picking men who will follow
out his policies. At present p. 5.
Teller of California, T. V. O'Connor
of western New York, W. S. Hill of
South Dakota, all of whom are Re
pubicans, and J. II. Walsh of Louisi-
ana, Democrat, are regarded as en-
1irely favorable to the President S
program, while the two independents
on the board are E. c.. Plummer of
Maine, Republican, and W. S. Benson
of Georgia, Democrat.
There is one place made vacant by
the resignation of Commissioner Ha-
ney, Democrat, of oregon, and this
goes to the Pacific Northwest. Un-
doubtedly Mr.. Coolidge will wish to
add another man to the group on
which he can depend to vote as a
unit.
Another step in connection with the
AToposed reorganization of the board
will come soon, when chairman is
appointed. Mr.. O'Connor is at present
chairman, and there is talk of having
Mr.. O'Connor, whose term expires
June Is, reappointed to the board, but
with a rotating system of chairmen
started, Mr.. Teller of San Francisco
Is slated to be the first chairman under
the rotating plan, with a different
chairman appointed each year, as with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Federal Trade Commission.
This step is by no means certain to
be taken, but President Coolidge is
giving serious consideration to it.

Club.
mo woman should ever be Il cook,
as men manage much better, being
more interested in things to eat"
says Mr.. Nenner. who contends that
no woman should ever be captain of
a ship, as the sea is too masculine an
element.
No woman, he goes on, should ever
be in charge of an automatic road
drill or a steam crane or a battery of
howitzers; no woman should ever be a
soldier sailor, tinker, tramp, profess
sional wrestler diver or boiler maker
But apart from these the world of hu-
man effort is open to the woman
worker. And l for one" says the
author, 'only hope they will get on
with it in large numbers"

BY NJ. S. RUKEYSER.

Fashions in the world Of finance
fluctuate with the same cyclical regu
larity as iniladys styles in apparel.
Today the idea of railroad consolida-
ton which was denounced as rulnous
and antfsocial in the days of r. ii.
Hartman and James J. Hill, early in
the century, is widely applauded ana
ballyhooed by many f1nanciers, rail-
road executives and by the public
regulatory and law-making bodies.
Is consolidation a cure-all for the
ailments that aftiict a transportation
system? If the postwar experience
n England is q guide, apparently not
or despite the merging Of the sundry
British roads into four systems, 1t has
not removed the deadening hand Of
diversity. On the other hand, in this
country, where there are 72 large in
dependent railroads and a whole ar
ray of smaller ones, there has been
renaissance of railroad prosperity.
sought the answer to this riddle in
railroad finance in talk with r.. r.
Tloomis, president of the Lehigh Val
ey Railroad Co. and chairman of the
rommittee on public relations of the
Eastern and Southern Railroads.
Only Personal Views.
In discussing the question of con-
,olidation. Mr.. LoOmiS made it clear
hat he was giving only his personal
Jews about this controversial ques-
ton.
1.-THE talk about the great ad-
antages from railroad consolidation,
aid Mr.. Loomis, "has been largely
Exaggerated. First, it Is argued that
uhstartial economies will result. l.
lit, k,n
igble Secondly, it is widely asserted
hat mergers will heighten efficiency
# operations OF the railroads. [ think
hat the building up of huge systems
through mergers is more likely to inn
,air than heighten efficiency by get
ing the actual operating details TOO
sar away from the chief executives.
one criticism of some of the railroads
oday is that they are too big. Some
ines it takes months for matter on

headquarters"
The Legigh Valley is one of the

oads. The tentative plan for group

Commerce Commission published,
linked the Lehigh Valley with
he Nickel Plate. Since that time,
New York Central and Pennsylvania
also expressed interest in this prof.
table line that runs through the an
hracite coal fields. Actual owner
ship of the road is widely diffused.
Provision Sufficiently Clear.
I asked Mr.. Loomis whether he
considered the provision of the trans
portation act of 1920 sufficiently
clear to encourage consultations. He
replied in the affirmative. but said
that practical considerations are
likely to slow up the movement to-
ward consultations,
'In the Nickel Plate decision" de-
clared Mr.. Loomis. 1.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission ruled that
minorities must be protected. This
~aises the proba bilities of delays on
the part of interests seeking to hold
up mergers for their own benefit.

in holding that the public interest be
served in accordance with the inten-
ton of Congress, created the proba-
bility that local communities affected

Concerning the general business
situation, this railroad president,
who started as a clerk, said: II see
nothing to become pessimistic about
in the business situation. Some re-
cession from the abnormal level of
activity in the construction trade
would be healthy. 1t is true that we
have had overproduction of cotton.

A subsidy, for example. would merely
have the effect of encouraging over
production next year. | want o CO..
n this connection, that I think the
South is handling this problem in CON
structive fashion and in a way which
is a credit to those who have in
terested themselves in behalf Of the
cotton growers.
Not Earning Enough.
This year has been a good one for
the railroads as q whole. However, it
Is not enough for the carriers to earn
fair return in a year of prosperity.
They should be pegrnitted to average
q fair return through good and bad
years. - The effect of the recapture
clause is to prevent this, and thus in.
terfere with the flow of new capital
into the railroads. 1t is bad to force
verse periods.
"One reason for the current pros
perity Of the railroads is that they
have been left alone. There has been
a legislative holiday. Business gener.
ally has been good because President
Coolidge and Secretary Mellon have
exerted a StabiliZing influence on pol
iticS, and have removed from the
minds of business men uncertainty
as to interference from government
physically, the roads have rehabil-
itated themselves since the return of
the carriers to private control. The
Lehigh Valley is in good condition.
Never since / have been in rail

Tered by the railroad. The public is
friendly. 1t realizes that service is
paramount, and that the question Of

NEW YORK, November 81
Moody's Weekly Review says in part:
THE recent rise of bond prices to
new high levels ought to forecast q
higher stock market some time next
year; for the rule of experience has
been that bond prices reach their high
peak some months earlier than stock
prices. This is logical because any
large degree of trade prosperity sim
ultaneously increases the trade de
mand for working capital. and draws
funds away from the bond market.
Nevertheless, we should be pre-
pared at any time'for substantial but
temporary reactions in the stock mar
ket, since the general trade outlook
for the first nalf of next year is un-
satisfactory. No severe depression is
in sight, but there are numerous
weak spots such as agriculture, build
ing, real estate, etc"
