Loughran

Mickey walker, the mlddleWel9nt champion looking for more worlds to conquer, tonight will attempt to match the triple title record of the great Bob Fitzsimmons by toppling Tommy Loughran from his light heavyweight throne.
 The battle. billed to 60 10 rounds to decision at the light heavy weight limit of 175 pounds, will open the largest and most luxurious sports amphitheater in the world, Paddy Harmon's $7,00O.0o0 Chicago stadium.
 Withr both fighters superbly trained and confident of the out come. betting odds vacillated to Walker and then to Loughran today. but at ring time tonight, approxi- mately 10 p. m. Central Standard time they are expected to be even.
 For Walker. the match carries not only gold but the glory Of equalling Fitzsimmons record. Mickey once held the welterweight championship and the middleweight crown now rests jauntily on his head. Tonight, he seeks a new coronet for his Irish brow.
 For Loushran, the fight means vastly more than the light heavy weight title. The Philadelphia Adonis is out to succeed Gene Tun- ney on the heavyweight throne and defeat tonight would drop him sev-, eral notches from his rank as leading contender.
 From the standpoint of fighting, the match was simply vest pocket edition of the Tunney-Dempsey bat tie. Loughran. like Tunney. is a brilliant boxer. He is not a heavy hitter, but a cutting jabber. If Loughran pursues his usual tactics, he will stab and dance out. stopping the New Jersey bulldogs rushes with his straight left.
 Walker. like Dempsey. Is a hard puncher and invariably launches q telling body attack. Tonight. he says he plans to carry the battle to the champion. get inside the careful leads and land knockout punch, If possible.
 Walker has fought eight ring bat ties i'll Chicago, and won them all.
 Loughran is to receive 65 per cent of the gross receipts. Out Of this he must pay S5o.0Oo to Walker if he wins or 310,Oo0 to Walker if he loses his title. In addition. he must pay suitable purses to Leo Loms.si and Tuffy Griffith. who fight in the preliminaries. Therefore Harmon and his associates arc certain to win tonight.
 The fans who like a sluggirg matcl, la John L. Sullivan. the 10- round. semi-windup tonight between Griffith and Lomski, has created considera ble interest. With the win- ner promised shot at tonight's v!c- tor for the light heavyweight crown. stirring two listed battle is antici- pated.
 The main event will be broadcast over the National Broadcasting com- pany's chain. Five Chicago stations. XIV. WGN. WMAQ. WIS and VICES. will be on the air with the fights.

WILLARD SAYS B. & O.
WILL AID RAIL MERGER

BY the Associated Press.
HAMMOND, Ind, June 6.-The
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad is willing
to relinquish its substantial interest In
the Cincinnati. New Orleans & Texas
Pacific Railway TO further the proposal
for consolidation of railroads within the
rate territory in which they are located
said Daniel Willard, president OF the
Baltimore e. Ohio, in an address to-
day before the Hammond Chamber of
Commerce
Wizards announcement was made
partly in answer to objections against
merger OF the Chicago. Indianapolis g.
Louisville Railway with the Baltimore

economist of Harvard University. as
recommending consultations with rate
areas, and added that neither the
Southern Railway nor the Louisville g.
Nashville, joint owners of the Chicago
Indianapolis & Louisville. should ex-
tend their lines north Of the Ohio River.
and by the same token the Baltimore &
Ohio. which owns a substantial interest
in the Cincinnati, New Orleans g. Texas

TEXTILE INDUSTRY
FACES PROBLEMS
Loss of Electric Company
Business Is Latest Blow
to Trade.
BY J. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Textile manu-
facturers, already complaining Of the
general depression in their industry, can
be prepared for another blow. which
will be a severe shock to some sections
of the trade. This became evident
when information was obtained that
the leader in the electric equipment
manufacturing field is prepared to
eliminate cotton converters from its
purchasing calculations.
The General Electric Co. in the near
future will buy its gray goods direct and
do its own converting. This will ma
terially affect the bleacheries and the
bias tape manufacturers, who have been
selling the big company thousands Of
yards of goods month for use in the
insulation of wires. The bias tape is
cut from the rolls Of tubular goods and
is passed through a bath Of rubber
composition, which renders 1t non-con-
ductive.
May Eliminate Fabric.
Moreover, it is we'll established that
experiments of the General Electric
have reached stage where it is pos
sible and probable that they will elimi-
nate cotton fabric entirely as an insu-
lating medium.
The demand for cotton goods which
has been built up through the efforts of
the Cotton Institute may more than
make up for these defections, but
buyer resistance to any increase in
prices is still strong. The consumers
feel that they can buy when, as and
it, they choose and they are not hurry
ing to fill any future requirements
In fact. decided feeling of uncertainty
has been injected into the cotton tex
tile situation by the strikes in the
South. This is not due to the closing
down OF the mills. Reduction Of pro-
duction in something all have been
working for. But many New England
mills have gone South because labor
there was believed to be satisfied, well
treated and working on a lower level so
far as actual money was concerned
than in New England, although perhaps
not more cheaply than relative living
costs are considered.
Cotton Prices.
The partly successful efforts to or
ganize the Southern mill workers have
caused uneasiness in the North as well
as in the South and among the tire
fabric plants as we'll as among the
cloth producers
To add to the complications the price
OF raw cotton is extremely likely to
show increases rather than declines.
The acreage seems likely to be large,
but hundreds of thousands Of cotton
acres h4Ve been water covered by the
Mississippi floods.

UTILITIES FEATURE
TRADING ON CURB
Brisk Buying Movement Is
Headed by Electric Light
and Power Group.
BY HARRY II. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Utility stocks
practically monopolized trading on the
Curb Exchange today. In the broadesi
and most active buying movement yet
witnessed, practically every member OF
the electric light and power group con-
tinued to climb in such excited fashion
that the ticker at one time was half
an hour behind the floor.
Utility Section Strong.
Interest on the buying side was
heightened materially by the admission
OF Commonwealth and Southern shares
from the Produce Exchange. The COM
mon made its debut at 90 and then re-
acted. while the warrants made their
appearance at llas. Both issues we're
heavily traded in and contributed largely
tn the increased turnover enjoyed by
the utility section.
The more representative utilities re-
covered substantially from the effects
CT profit-taking in the preceding Ses-
sion. Electric Bond &, Share, which
opened nearly 2 points higher on a
block OF IL 900 shares, developed even
greater strength later and before mid
Southeastern Power also rose Spectacu-
larly, lettering its former peak, and
United Gas improvement. old and new.
were taken in large blocks at new peak
prices. American Gas 81 Electric also
did especially well. but profit-taking
continued to retard the American Super
Power issues.

ing made by the new holding COM
panies. Spurted to the best level in its
history. the gain at one time amount
ing to more than half a dozen points.
Brisk advances were marked up in
the industrial division. Checker Cab
added several points to its previous ad-
vance, and renewed demand appeared
for Marconi International Marine with
out influencing the price to any mate
rial extent. four months statement
showing a substantial increase in new
profits helped Thompson Products. and
there were impressive gains in the case
Of United States Gypsum, Aluminium
Corporation and few others.
Oil Group Quiet.
Oils were quiet as a group but Ohio
Oil developed independent strength and
rose almost three points before after
noon. Some Of the high-priced issues
were under moderate pressure, and very
little activity was witnessed in Indiana.
Humble and others which showed signs
OF reviving recently.
The aviation group was quieter than
in some time Similar dizziness pre-
vailed in the automobile and mining
stocks, although Noranda enjoyed an
early squirt. Among the miscellaneous
industrials Great Atlantic e. Pacific
was lower, and Zenith Radio felt the eff
fects of renewed pressure following its
late recovery.

BANKERS ACCEPTANCES
TO FEATURE STATEMENT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 6.-The point Of
interest in today's weekly statement of
the Federal Reserve bank will be the
items of bankers acceptsnceS. The
financial district will look to this for
evidence of the reported policy of the
Federal Reserve Board in easing credit
conditions through the resumption Of
buying OF bills by member banks after
having allowed their acceptance port
folio to drop below $4,000, 900, or to
the lowest figure of the year.
Positive statements have come from
the New York Federal Reserve Bank
that 1t has not been buying bills the
past week and that 1t has no present
intention of changing its policy toward
credit through such purchases. 1t Is
believed. however, that other banks in
the system have been BUYERS and that
the total to be report 0df" by the
IL banks will be alb Of week
ago.
