ance. Meantime, the opportunity to
take advantage of a situation passes.
One reason for the spectacular i'm
provement Of the earning power Of
the Nickel Plate Railroad in the last
decade has been the passing of con-
troll to two brothers, o. p. and NJ. j.
Van Sweringen of Cleveland. AS q
result of. this concentrated control.
the Van Sweringens have been able
TO pass on any matter Of Importance
which come up within three days.
Incidentally, the Van SweringenS
have revealed themselves as excep-
tionally able executives. AS the
owners of control of five railroads. of
the Cleveland terminal development.
of a local rapid transit line and the
Shaker Heights district in Cleve-
land, they are called upon to make
a wide variety of important decisions.
Many wonder how they can keep in
touch with SO many matters. The
explanation is that they have subor-
dinates prepare all the relevant in
formation on a matter that comes
before them for decision and or
ganize 1t SO Systematically that they
can readily, with full knowledge of
the facts, give a yes" or mo" deci-
sion. II they failed to trust others
and did all the fact finding for them
selves, their field of activity would
necessarily be greatly restricted.
The essence Of an executive Is the
ability to cooperate with others
instead of playing q lone hand.
Napoleon. who was the forerunner Of
the executive type, used to say that
his role was Organize, deputize and

PROTESTS DEMAND
FOR HIGHER WAGES
Net Income of Roads Would
Be "Wiped Out" by Propo-
sal, Official Says.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. November 1.-THE net
income Of Eastern railroads in 1926
would have been wiped out by a wage
increase Of 1871 per cent, John j.
Elkin, controller of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, yesterday told the
board Of arbitration hearing the re-
quest of conductors and trainmen for
20 per cent increase In wages
"ManifeStly, with a recorded return
to stockholders in the prosperous year
Of 1925 less than that paid to bond
holders, carriers face a. serious situar
tion," he said.
Passenger Traffic Revenue.
The revenue from passenger traffic,
he asserted, declined from 2.S71
cents per mile in 1921 to 2.798 cents
per mile in 1925. He also pointed out
that reductions in freight rates since
1921, If applied to the freight traffic
moved in 1925, would equal s244,117,-
679. Taxes paid by Eastern rail-
roads, he said, have increased 29.7
per cent since 1921 and 1881 per
cent since 1916.
Carrying Charge Increased.
Mr.. Elkin asserted that an increase
in carrying charge due to additional
investment in road and equipment
had amounted to almost $4,000, ,000, 900
since 1916 and slightly less than
$1.000,0O0,000 since 1921.
"Employes," he declared, "are par
ticipating in a measure in the in
creased income of the carriers, and
it is fact that cannot be overlooked
that a dollar of wages has as great
4 purchasing power today as in 1921"

new PIVOT COMPANY
IN RAILROAD MERGER
Van Sweringens Switch to Chesa-
peake and Ohio as Hold
ing Concern.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 6.-The
New York Times says that the Van
Sweringen brothers have abandoned
their intention Of making the Nickel
Plate the proposed central of their
railroad merger and are now planning
to make the Chesapeake and Ohio
the principal holding company Of their
projected system.
Thus, the Times explains, the C. &
0. would lease the Nickel Plate in
stead of the Nickel Plate leasing the
G.. & O., to which some of the G. &
o. stockholders have objected. The
objection of these stockholders. a
minority group, is admitted generally
to have been instrumental in defeating
the. Van Sweringen regional consoli.
dation plan.
An agreement has already been
reached by the Van Sweringens for
the leasing by the Nickel Plate of the
Pere Marquette, it is said. Separate
applications, it is understood. will be
made to the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission for the leases incident to the
new merger plan. The Hooking Val
ley will be brought into the proposed
system through the c. & o., which
holds nearly IS per cent Of Hooking
Valleys outstanding stock.

ARMAMENT REPORT
PLEASES AMERICA
U. S. Delegation at Geneva
Expresses Qualification as
Preliminaries End.
BY the Associated Press.

GENEVA, November 6. - The
American delegation to the prelimi-
nary disarmament conferences is
leaving Geneva distinctly encouraged
by certain aspects Of the negotia-
tions which ended yesterday with the
framing of a complete report on
technical questions.
The attitude of the American
delegates was expressed by Rear
Admiral Hilary P. Jones, ina final
speech before the subcommittee.
After six months Of discussion we
all part good friends; better friends
than when we met" he said. 1--WE all
put into our report a great deal of
earnest, honest work and we hope
that it will afford the preparatory
committee basis for a reduction
and limitation of armaments."
1928 Farley Sought.
A general disarmament conference
in 1928, which would make some be-
ginning toward limitation of arma-
ment, is now the program Of the
statesmen close to the negotiations.
The general belief is that a confer
ence in 1927, as desired by the last
assembly Of the League of Nations.
Is impossible because 1t Is felt that
consideration of the political aspect
will not be completed, in time.
The American delegation is par
ticularly pleased with the form fol-
lowed in yesterdays report. Instead
of merely presenting the viewpoint
Of the majority of delegates, as orig
inally contemplated, the report sets
forth all the points of view of the
countries interested in each particular
problem. Much credit for this change
in method and the consequent speed
ing up of the subcommittee work is
due to the intervention of Hugh Glib
son at the meeting of the preparatory
commission on September 2.
Big Naval Powers Agree.
The American delegation is partic-
ularly gratified at the agreement
reached among the great naval pow
ers, who are opposed to the French
thesis that global tonnage should be
used in setting standard for naval
limitation. This agreement unites
various methods Of limitation in one
problem, limitation by classes Of
ships. In view Of the nature OF the
report, which revealed almost equal
division on most questions, no group
is likely to be called upon to make
too many concessions. and this fact, 1t
is believed, will help in providing a
basis for profitable discussions by the
preparatory commission.
The report of the subcommittee
now will be submitted to the various
governments for study before the
next meeting of the preparatory COM
mission, whose date has not been
fixed.

COTTON HELP PLAN
COMES UNDER FIRE
Secretary Mellon Indorses
Financing, But Walton Pc
teet Takes Other View.
BY the Associated Press.


The State financing corporations or
ganiZed in the South to meet the cot
ton emergency were indorsed yester'
day by Secretary Mellon and criticized
by Walton Peteet, Washington repre-
sentative of Western and Southern
farm relief organizations.
II am very much interested" the
Secretary's statement said, in the
steps noN being taken in the South to
organize cotton finance corporations
with ample capital to finance the stor-
age OF this years surplus cotton until
1t can be marketed advantageously
The manner in which the bankers and
business men are cooperating with
agricultural interestes in a practical
program, which it is hoped will meet
the situation effectively, is extremely
gratifying and I trust that the pro.
gram will be carried through to a sue
ceSsful conclusion.
Hopes for Harmony.
'1 understand that the cooperative
marketing associations in every South
ern State have placed their facilities
at the disposal of the cotton finance
corporations, and these two agencies
will. I am sure, work together in the
general interests"
Mr.. Peteet, in his statement, held
that the widely advertised devotion
of the national administration to CO.
operative marketing has been put to
the test and found wanting in the
present cotton crisis"
The plan sponsored by Chairman
Meyer of the Presidents cotton COM
mission, ito direct.the holding move-
ment into the organization by bank
ers of special loan companies in
each State" Peteet said, takes mo
account of the co-operatives," is i'm
practicable SO far as the average
cotton farmer is concerned" and is
'foredoomed to failure" as a solution
Tor the cotton surplus problem.
Says Farmers Must Wait.
"The special loan companies in
each cotton State promoted by Mr.
Meyer may do some good" he con-
unued. 1T is too early yet to say
how much or how little. The plan
is to loan holders of cotton cents
pound. or $45 a bale, and hold the
cotton off the market for Is months
or 2 years"
In most cases, he said, the money
advanced by the finance corpora
tfons will go to banks which hold
liens on their cotton, and the farmer
must wait for 1S months or 2 years
for his share"
