Senator Ralston in the previous

Governor Jackson himself was

BETHLEHEM CITES
GOLD STAND HERE
Congressional Resolution Is
Basis for Declining to Pay
Foreign Currency.
BY the Associated Press.

oy tlc hbSOCldtcO FIcsS.
NEW YORK, January 13.-The Beth
lehem Steel Corporation has informed
the New York Stock Exchange that its
refusal to pay in foreign currencies cou-
pons from its bonds owned in this coun-
try is based on the congressional resolu-
ton Of last June relating to gold cur
rency contracts.
Suit has been filed by an American
holder of Bethlehem bonds to REQUIRE
payment of coupons in terms of foreign
currencies. The company's letter to the
exchange was in reply to an inquiry re-
specting Bethlehem'S policy on bond
coupons payable in foreign currencies.
Gold Stand Stressed.
THE first thing which we wish to
have clearly understood" said the let
to perform its obligations with respect
to all its bonds.
"As regards the payment of interest
on such bonds owned by those residing
in the United States. we call attention
to public resolution No. 10 Of the sew
enty-third Congress, approved June 5,
1888, which, among other things, in
substance declares that every provision
in any obligation payable in money Of
the United States which purports to
give the obligee right to require pay
ment in gold or q particular kind of
coin or currency of the United States or
in an amount of money of the United
States, measured thereby, is against
public policy, and provides that every
such obligation whether or not it con-
tains any such provision) shall be dis
charged upon payment, dollar for dol
lar. in any coin or currency which at
the time Of payment Is legal tender for
public and private debts"
Points to Big Premium.
Replying to similar inquiry regard
ing its first terminal and unifying per
cent bonds, the st. Louis Southwestern
Railway Co. advised the exchange that
the company has no foreign paying
agent: neither has it provided for the
payment in any currency other than
that Of the United States.
It was recalled that the Southern Pa
ciflc Co. which owns 81 per cent Of St.
Louis Southwestern's capital stock,
paid the October coupon on its San
Francisco Terminal first mortgage 4 per
cent bonds in any of the four currencies
named in the indenture.
It was reported that the company was
forced to pay q premium or more than
$4,000 over the face amount due In
American currency because q large ma
jority Of American holders Of the bonds
elected to be paid In Swiss francs or
Dutch guilders, which have value well
above their old parity with the dollar.

events in 1880 and 1882 proved un.

Pointing out that gold prices have
risen steadily for 900 years, Maj. Watts
summarized his conclusions as follows:
There will always be q public de-

high relatiye value, beauty, usefulness,
compactness and transportability, as
the measure of individual and national
wealth until and umless in future gen.
erations q social and economic revolti-
ton creates international abandonment
Of monetary systems entirely and sub
stitutes exchange Of service, which Is
q Utopian idea.
There will be no change in the
use Of gold as a monetary base so
long as the present generation OF bank
ers survive, who have maintained, ex-
panded and still firmly believe In the
existing monetary system. The pres
ent acQuisitive demand for gold will be
sustained until nations have . sum-

CREDIT HELD KEY
To RELEASE LARGE
RAILROAD ORDERS
Carriers Reluctant to. Boost
R. F. c. Debt-InduStry
Has Big Stake.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

The railroads of the Nation are ex.
pected by Washington observers to be-
come a best customer for the product
of many industries If and when credit
facilities are deemed favorable.
Credit now appears to be the con-
trolling factor rather than lack of re-
quirements for new materials and sup
plies. Leading rail officials appearing
here have indicated they are unable to
refinance themselves save for urgent
maintenance, and have expressed re-
luctance, for one reason or another. to
indebt themselves to the Reconstruc-
than dictated by absolute necessity.
New Financing Drops.
Statistics of the American Railway
Association show that in the five-year
period ending with 1929 the carriers
absorbed IS per cent of all the coal
used in the United States, as well as
20 per cent of the fuel oil. In addi-
ton they consumed almost 40 per cent
Of all steel castings, 20 per cent Of the
lumber, like percentage Of finished
iron and steel, and per cent Of all
cement sales.
AS dL 1QQlCdLlOn OF The exJeQC Oh
tagging in the railroad market, the
association points out that new capital
expenditures Of the carriers from 1922
through 1890 averaged $717,000, 900
yearly, while the average annual main
tenance expenditures were $2,046, ,000,-
600. In contrast, the rail equipment
industries were relatively stagnant in
1882, latest year for which complete
figures are available, when capital ex-
penditures were $167 ZOO, 900 and main
tenance costs $970,000,000
Repair Needs Grow.
Parts of the carriers rolling stock,
likewise, Is said to be not in the best Of
shape due to long use. Considerably
more than one-haf Of all Glass l roads
have many locomotives more than 20
years old, while only II per cent are less
than 10 years old. Freight cars have
decreased by 10000 since the begin
ming of the depression, while the pro-
portion Of cars in other than good
condition" has increased from 5.4 per
cent to 1874 per cent. In addition, pas
senger cars have suffered wholesale re-
tirements with comparatively few re-
placements.
One rail official declares that in ad-
dition at least 100000, 900 will have to
be expended on roadbeds to restore
them to the condition prevailing prior
to 1880.

PLUMBING LEADERS

Predict More New Construction

CHICAGO, January 13.-Leaders in
the plumbing business foresee more
new construction projects ahead in
1884 than the industry has handled
for three or four years.
Principal reasons cited for a busy

Dental construction, need for extern

mental aid in refinancing mortgages,
and r. F. c. aid to make possible wa

ton In thousands Of villages and towns.
Probability Of Federal Loans to stim-
ulate small house construction Is listed
as another encouraging factor.
Expressions Of optimistic sentiment
for 1884 have come to the Plumbing
and Heating Industries Bureau from
three major manufacturers of plumb
ing equipment.
The increase in residential construc-
ton contracts in November over Octo-
Der, for the first time since 1926, was
hailed as particular boon to the

In "Pig-iron, Paper and Gold" Mr..
Clements observes that in the past Mr..
Angas always has selected some high
priced commodity and one where pro-
duction, actual or potential, has begun
to outstep consumption, or vice versa,
and then proceeded to prove whether
that commodity was too nigh or too
low.
'Mr. Angas points out" Mr.. Glenn
ents said, that great many coun-
tries in the world by reason Of inter-
national conditions are unable to export
any real increase In merchandise, raw
materials or services: and that their
governmental and internal credit posi-
tions are not strong. These countries,
he contends, must stay on paper, as
they cannot obtain enough gold to 60
back on q workable gold standard, and
from this premise he argues that all
other countries must 60 on gold basis
onto paper basis.
Therein, believe, lies his main fall
lacy. He has missed the point that, In.

sentation of the alternatives that "half-
way measures cannot continue much
longer and I feel the present processing
tax Is temporary"
He compared the present generation
to the children of Israel who went out
under Moses, but ended fighting

In conclusion he asked the farmers
