IN INTEREST RATES.
Wages of Capital Are Next
in Line After Cuts in
Labor'S Pay.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Qisnatch To ThA Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 9.-The
wages Of labor were duly reduced dur
ing the last four trying years. Now
1t appears that the wages Of capital
are in for a slashing as a part of the
new deals efforts to help the debtor
dodge the clutches Of the creditor.
There will be rejoicing in a great
many quarters. no doubt, If steps are
taken in line with reports from Wash
ington that the President favors legis-
lation to permit financially emhar-
rassed municipalities to reduce the
rate of interest payments on their
bonds. 1t is reported that he thinks
something similar, by consent or legis-
lation, should be worked out with re-
gard to mortgage interest and other
evidences of debt where the rates
may be "unconscionably" high, in
cluding debts owed to the Government
and private individuals by foreign ma
tions and individuals.
Compromises Favored.
From the ethical side, the first Wall
Street reaction was to suggest that it
might be good thing henceforth to
stamp all bond coupons with the in
itials "R. l. p" Translated this would
mean "repudiation in prospect" But
Wall Street is getting better under
standing of the philosophy of the new
deal and its fair second thought is
that whenever the time comes that
the debtor cannot meet his obliga-
tions, then there should be a getting
together and a compromise And
that is quite a step from the old
rugged, individualistic idea that when
a debtor defaulted the next move was
foreclosure
Corporations most likely to be bene-
f1ciaries of such pairing down of in
terest rates on funded debt are the
railroads and the public utilities. The
railroads would gain most. for the
reason that for many years they have
financed their improvement and ex-
pansion programs largely through the
issuance of bonds That has not been
a matter Of choice, but of necessity.
It has been long time since railroad
stocks have been at level where
financing was possible for more than
a very few Of them by means Of new
issues Of capital stock.
Utility Stocks Sold.
For several years, not SO long ago,
a heavy annual volume Of public utll-
ity financing was accomplished
through the sale Of stocks to the same
public that consumed gas and cleo
tricity, winning for these companies
measure Of public ownership. But
bend emissions were also heavy and
the funded debt Of the industry is very
large.
The other side Of the picture Is
furnished by the automobile industry,
which is singularly free from funded
debt. Some important units have no
bonds whatever outstanding The
motor industry has financed itself as
general thing, out of profits. Where
bonds exist, in many instances they
were issued to acquire other properties
and facilitate large-scale expansion
