PRESIDENT HOOVER
WOULD DEFER RAIL
WAGE NEGOTIATIONS
Feels Clearer Background Will
Be Afforded After First
of Year
ANOTHER WAGE CUT ASKED
!. G. c. and r. F. c. Directors
Confer Over Railroad
Loan Policies

Washington, Sept. 27.-(R)-A sus-
pension of railway wage negotiations
during the rest of 1882 Is favored by
President Hoover.
The chief executive feels the eco
nomic situation after the first Of the
year will afford a clearer background
for discussing proposed additional
10 per cent pay cut.
His position was made known Mon
day by Secretary Doak. After con-
ferring with Hoover, Doak said in q
formal statement:
I'm the matter OF the railway wage
discussion now going on. the presi-
dent last week expressed the view,
both to the representatives of rail-
way labor and to the leading rail-
way presidents who have conferred
with him, that he feels that it is de-
sirable that this question should be
deferred at the present time.
"The present agreement does not
expire until Feb. l, next. The presi-
dents view was that it might be
we'll agreed to defer further discus
sions until the end of the year, as
the general economic situation would
be much clearer at that time and
negotiations could be based on a bet
ter realization of the actual circum-
stances existing"
Hoover's Intervention had been
sought by the Railway Labor Execu-
tives' association after this group re-
fused to confer with railroad presi-
dents on the subject Of another wage
cut. A one-year 10 per cent reduc-
ton was agreed to last year.
I'VE desire to suggest" the labor
executive had said in a statement
left with the president, that when
the government is called upon to
lend public money to the railroads,
the government can at the time
probably insist that the railroads
shall refrain from starting or from
joining IN any suicidal program to re-
duce wages and to curtail services
and thereby to nullify the efforts of
the government to promote economic
recovery"
At about the time Doak issued his
statement, interstate commerce COM
missioners and reconstruction COR
poration directors we're comforting
over railroad loan policies.

n. D. INVESTORS IN
UTILITIES DEbACLE
Records of Boom Period, Show
ing Operations in State,
Destroyed BY Fire

Although losses to North Dakota
investors as result Of the collapse Of
the great insult utilities empire prob
ably will run into hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars, the figure cannot b.
estimated by the state officials here.
A check OF the records of the state
securities commission, which licenses
and superviseS the sale of stock In
North Dakota, disclosas that permis-
sion to sell $4,000 worth of stock was
issued to the Utility Securities COM
pany, insult stock-selling affiliate, be-
tween Sept. 81, 1881, and July 20, 1882.
when the company's permit to sell
stock was cancelled at its own request.
Records for the boom period Of 1927
to 1929, when soaring prices, stock
splits and dividends and easy money
made the picture rosy, are not avail
able. They were destroyed in the
capitol fire and were irreplacable. It
Is safe to estimate. however, that the
amount of stock sold in this period
far exceeded that for which author
ity was granted the following Septem-
Der, 1881.
Subsequent events disclose that the
insult companies already were begin
ming to feel the pinch of reduced
stock sales when the last sales CAM
paign listed by the state securities
commission began, and that 1t was
the tremendous stock sales Of 1927 to
1929 which made the rapid expansion
of the company possible.
The $4,000 in stock authorized to
be sold in this state beginning with
September, 1881, were all In blocks,
mostly of 10000 each, and represents
securities issued by seven different
insult utilities or affilates. The list
includes Central and Southwest Util-
tiles company common, Midwest Util-
itiess convertible preferred, and Mid
west Utilities company common, Mid
land United States company pre-
ferred, Seaboard Public Service COM
pany no par convertible preferred,
Seaboard Public Service company
preferred and insult Utilities invest
ment common.
In the case of each stock issue au-
thorized to be sold In the state, the
promoters filed with the securities
a prospectus or resume OF
the sales arguments which they pro-
posed to present. In each instance
the fact that an income from the
stock was guaranteed was prominent
~ listed along with statements re-
garding the various utility enterprises
operated by the company whose Sc
curitieS were to be marketed.
