Further progress was reported today in
the American farmers anti-mortgage
foreclosure drive
In two States the lawmakers had
given impetus to the movement. Mem
bers of the Iowa House Of Representa-
tives deserted hotel rooms last night to
approve by a vote Of 81 to 3 State
wide organization of boards to mediate
between mortgagors and mortgages
with a view to prevention Of farm
foreclosures.
Duty for Mortgage Holders.
The Iowa plan which now goes to the
State Senate would require mortgage
holders to patronize notary publics for
afhdavits before beginning the fore
courts the benefit Of the findings OF
county arbitration boards prior to the
judges decision.
Meanwhile another life insurance
company. the Metropolitan. added its
name to the roster Of insurers who say
they will, for the time being, forget
about the stacks Of mortgages collect
ing dust in their files.
Gov Herring of Iowa offered his Of
flcial and personal expression of ap-
probation for the action OF the risk
companies and banks in holding OF
foreclosures and reducing interest. He
said:
The large groups have taken the
lead in encouraging individuals hold
ing mortgages to postpone foreclosure
actions: I appreciate their stand ana
want them to know It,"

belief that they will serve to bridge over
a comparatively brief period of strin-
gency, at the end Of which time such
loans will not be necessary"
Eastman said when the r. F. c. be-
gan loaning to the railroads. it was
assumed there would be early recovery
from the depression.
AT the present time" he added,
the hope OF comparatively early re-
covery is less widely entertained
There are, however, certain railroads
In a better financial condition than
others. which may need loans, which
have not exhausted their collateral and
which can probably be carried on by
means OF such loans for some consider
able time without need for financial re-
organization.
May Escape Receivership.
There are others which will prob
ably need early financial reorganiza-
ticn. but which might through Govern
ment loans be saved from receivership
long enough to take advantage of the
new legislation providing for another
method Of railroad reorganization, If
such legislation Is enacted
They might be saved from receiver
ship pending the enactment of the
legislation which have mentioned If
the Government were empowered to
make loans for purposes for which re-
ceivers certificates may be issued, upon
condition that the Government be
given lien prior to existing indebted
ness. or upon condition, in the case of
large bend maturities, that the Govern
ment be subrogated to the lien Of the
maturing Indebtedness
Summing up the matter. believe
that. unless Congress distrusts the
judgment of those who administer the
railroad loan provisions of the Recon-
struct!on Finance Corporation act, 1t
would not be wise to suspend the max
ing Of all such loans"
Eastman testified 60 railroads had a
deficit in net railway operating income
in 1882.
"Of these" he added, "25 are sub
sidiaries Of stronger roads, nine are in
receivership eight are controlled by
steel companies, and one by . copper
company.
The others are the Chicago g. East
ern Illinois, the Milwaukee, the Gulf,
Mobile & Northern and the Texas
Mexican"
Expressing some hope for the future
OF the railroads, Eastman, q veteran
member of the commission. said:
so far as the future earnings of the
railroads are concerned, the compais-
sion has proceesed, In approving loans,
on the theory that net earnings would
eventually improve, as the country re-
covered from depression, although prob
ably not to the level of past earnings.
Couzens placed figures before the
committee yesterday to show that 125

The Investigating Committee also
sought today to cbtain q list Of leans

directors Of the corporation, either past

STATES
BILL IS LAUDED
Negro Association Praises
Measure Ruling Out
Discrimination.

Praise for Indiana's action in
passing law providing penalties
for state public works contractors
who discriminate against laborers
because of race or color, is voiced
in the current bulletin Of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.
The law is the result of passage
of House Bill 391, introduced by
Representative Henry j. Richardson
Jr., Negro, and Democratic mem
Der from Marion county.
The law provides a fine of S. a
day and power for the state to ter
inmate a contract where violation is
proved.
According to the association bull
letin, Indiana is the first state to
adopt such a measure.
Richardson said the demand for
such law grew out of discrimination
shown on federal jobs, particularly
at Boulder Dam. A federal bill was
introduced in the last congress by
Congressman Grail of California,
but failed of passage. he declared.
Since the Indiana law was signed
similar measures have been intro
duced in legislatures Of Illinois,
Michigan and Nebraska.

HEAVY BUYING
FORCES WHEAT
PRICES HIGHER
Strong Cables, Securities
Help Maintain BuIIiSh
Sentiment.
BY HAROLD z. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, March ga gust OF
buying at the opening on the Board
Of Trade today whipped prices up
?. to 2ls cents on wheat. Strong
cables and strength in stocks were
the chief factors, although the opin-
ion was expressed that a rally was
overdue.
Shorts covered and there was lit
tie wheat for sale. The announce
ment that Preside Roosevelt
might not object to changes in the
relief bill also was a factor Corn
was "a to l cent higher, oats 4 to
p cent up and provisions were
firmer.
While the grain trader expects
the farm relief bill, passed by the
house Wednesday, to encounter
sharp opposition in the senate and
be changed materially, the fact that
it is occupying the center of atten-
ton is depressing. There has been
good buying of -four recently pre-
sumably by the small householder TO
escape the processing tax. Liver
pool was stronger than due, un-
changed to % cent higher at mid
afternoon.
Corn continues to display much
more resistance to pressure than
wheat. The cash demand remains
very good
Oats lack anything inspiring
either way and remains in a rut
awaiting developments.
