NEW YORK, June Ga break in
railroad shares turned the entire
stock market irregularly lower to-
day after it had risen to new highs
on the present movement - new
highs in many instances since 1881.
Selling in carriers broke out at
mid-session when Atchison reduced
the semi-annual payment on pre-
ferred stock from $3.50 to $1.50. The
list later moved up under lead of au-
tomobile and automobile equipment
shares only to run into another
drive against the rails in the last
hour.
Trading was heavy, tickers falling
behind as much as minutes.
When the market was weakest
block of 10,500 International Tele-
phone appeared at 18. That was
off Il point but the issue quickly
moved up and set a new top for
the year. That bolstered up Amer
lean Telephone which had sunk
below 100. Postal Telegraph pre-
ferred and Western Union made
new highs at wide gains and held
part of the rise.
When Atchison reduced the pre-
ferred dividend the whole list met
heavy realizing selling. But on the
dip new buying developed and the
automobile issues ran away with
the market. Large blocks of Pack
ard came out as that issue made
new high for the year. Heavy
turnover and new high also was
credited to General Motors. Auburn,
Nash, Mack Trucks, Hupp, Stude-
baker, Graham Page, and Chrysler
were strong and active until late
dip in rails when the group lost
ground.
Atchisor lost more than points
from the previous close and others
/ to points. American Can lost
more than 2 points but rallied to
close at 927s, off *.
The dollar eased off.
| The days total was 6,210000
shares, against 100000 yesterday.
Curb sales were the second largest
of the year at 1,157.000 shares,
against 1,o06,OOO yesterday.
The Dow Jones preliminary av-
erages showed: industrials at 98.89
unchanged; railroad 4335 off 1.O6;
utility 33.49 up O.66.
The close was highly irregular
ranging from an II point loss in
Atchison preferred to an 8% point
rise in Postal Telegraph preferred.

served by preventing the private
schools from having to close, thus
throwing tremendous burden up
on already overcrowded schools.
According to proponents of Prop

lecting S35O,000 in taxes from the
private. non-profit schools, but if
only one-tenth of them were forced

be more than 1891 900.

Japan Approves

I mittee reversed its decision. The
bill comes before the senate tomor-
row.
The plan of action as now being
drafted is simple despite the many
details involved in application.
Initiation or the expectation of it,
which has run up prices, benefits
an average of two persons for every
eight that are left worse off. The
two, who may be business men or
spectators, gain from transactions
made on rising market.
The other eight, as consumers,
find their wages and salaries do
not go as far as before. Eventually
the benefits may trickle down as
business improves and more persons
go back to work. Until they do
the average man is worse off than
before. Until he is able to buy
clothes for himself, new dresses for
mis- wife, furniture for his house, a
new car, business as whole can
not expect to thrive, in admiristra-
tion opinion. President Roosevelt
is not content to wait for lagglng
wages to catch up. He therefore
proposed his industrial recovery bill
as an emergency measure to speed
up the program.
Revives Buying
He has chosen revival of con-
sumer buying power as the point of
attack. His purpose is to put more
people to work by reducing hours
of work, and to raise wages. To
curtail hours without raising the
rate of pay, the administration con-
tends, would only reduce buying
power.
1t is here that complications en-
ter. Once industries agree to such
program, they are left at the
mercy of cut-throat competitors
who by taking advantage of an
overcrowded labor market, could un-
dersell on a sWeatSnop basis.
The bills licensing provisions are
desired for use against such pi-
lateS-ln fact the administration be-
lieves the very existence of full
powers would be sufficient to hole;
potential outlaws in line. In this
sense the administration regards
the licensing provision not as q
club over industry, but as club to
protect industry from its internal
enemies.
The objection is raised that this
would nullify competition.
Friends of the measure answer
that the only competition which
would be eliminated would be COM
petition in reducing wages.
TOMORROW - Machinery con-
templated for the industrial recov-
cry bill.

HEAVY BARRAGE OF PUBLICITY
DRAWS PROTEST FROM WRITER

of President Roosevelt and his aids.
No one has done so much in such a
short period of time as has Roose-
velt.
He has disregarded useless ira
ditions; done away with a lot of
waste and confusion; brushed aside
stupid conventionalities; and has
performed in a most remarkable
manner. His honesty of action,
sincerity Of purpose, desire to serve
have never been approached, in
the writer's opinion, in American
history.
President Roosevelt can add to
his accomplishments by straight
ening out and coordinating the en-
tire federal government press or
public relations service.
Duplication of service will be
eliminated. Money will be saved.
Constant repititions will be avoid
ed More and better news items
about the federal government will
be carried by the newspapers. The
editors will be grateful.

WESTMORLAND
WATER RATES
NOT REDUCED

The railroad commission has
handed down a decision in the in
vestigation instituted on its own
motion into the operations of the
Westmorland Water company, own
ed by F. T. Cook.
The commission declined to order
a reduction in present flat rates for
general water service. The report
commented as follows on this phase
of the case:
1.-THE evidence submitted indi-
Gates that for the year 1881 West
morland Water company enjoyed a
net return of 9.54 per cent upon
its investment. However, the rec
ord also discloses the fact that by
reason of the general decline in
commercial and agricultural busi-
ness in the community, together
with the serious decrease in local
employment, the revenues for 1882
dropped to such an extent that the
operations for this period resulted
in a net return not exceeding four
per cent. Under such circumstance
es, it is obvious that the commission
is not justified at this time in Or
dering reduction in the present
flat rates for general water ser
VICE.
The commission ruled that Cook
should install at his own expense
all necessary fire hyGrants as shall
be requested by the Westmorland
Fire District. A rate of So per
month was established for service
for each 4-inch fire hydrant with
two 212 Inch standard outlets. The
order provides that request for the
installation of fire hydrants must
be made not less than 60 days from
June 18th, the effective date of the
order. The installation must be
complete within 80 days of effec-
tive date.
AS to other phases of the inves-
tigation, the decision says:
Considerable controversy devel-
oped over statements advanced by
certain consumers to the effect that
F.. T. Cook had indulged in the
practice of charging water users
for the cost of installing service
connections. Although these claims
were not supported by the evidence,
nevertheless Cook should in the fu-
ture exercise more circumspection
in maintaining a complete segre-
cation of his public utility opera
tions from his private plumbing
business in order to eliminate any
future difficulties and misunder-
standing from this source
