This confused the Democratic lead
ers so much that a White House con-
ference was arranged to decided what
should be done. Some leaders (Har-
rison and Doughton) again coun-
seled strongly against immediate &C
ton. All confessed that 1t would
prove impossible to attach the plan
to the nuisance tax resolution before
Saturday, when the resolution must
be passed.
Again they were overruled and
were told to try it anyway.
Confusion Backstage.
These developments are almost q
direct repetition Of what has hap
pened backstage on several major
items Of New Deal legislation. The
old party counselors on the Hill have
strenuously objected, have usually
been overruled. When pressed, they
have stood loyalty for whatever the
President demanded of them. 1t has
happened 80 often that it has be-
come established strategy. This ex-
plains why so many sour prophecies
creep into news accounts from Wash
ington occasionally. You cannot find
out what is to be done until the Pres
ident gets ready to speak. What the
congressional leaders say and think
does not mean much any more.
C. Of C. Gets Busy.
Five days before President Roose-
welt sent his wealth tax message to
Congress, the United States Cham
ber Of Commerce decided to look into
that subject. It chose Frederick
Clausen, a Western farm machinery
manufacturer, as chairman Of q COM
n,ittee, but no other members have
yet been named.
Of1cials Of this representative or
ganization Of big business say they
were fiabbergasted, caught fiat-footed
by the Presidents sudden stroke
Their investigation will probably not
get started until the taxes are
adopted.
Roper "Sits Tight"
Pals of Commerce Secretary Roper
are quoting him as saying: When I
end my governmental career It viii be

quotation is supposed to be a diplo-
matte denial of the expectations that

RACQUET CLUB
REORGAN|ZED

Holders of z per cent mortgage
bonds of the Racquet Club, which
have been in default since Janu-
airy l, 1882, were advised in a let
ter received yesterday from Y. E.
Booker, chairman Of the bond
holders protective committee. that
reorganization of the club has
been completed and that new
first mortgage bonds are now
ready for delivery.
e Under the terms of the reorgan-
ization new 3 per cent 10-year
first mortgage bonds have been
issued in the same amount as the
original NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The
new bonds are dated January l,
1885, are in coupon form with
interest payable January l and
July /.
The indenture securing the new
bonds provides for a cumulative
sinking fund Of / per cent per
annum, which fund will be used
to retire bonds by purchase in the
open market. The committee ex-
poets that through the operation
of this fund a substantial proper
ton of the total issue will be can
celled during the 10-year period.
In its letter to the bondholders
the committee states that it has
collected a total Of $4,000 from
the club during the last three and
one half years and that after
paying all expenses, amounting to
$8,425.4O, a balance of $10,831 80
is now available for the bond
holders. Checks for this sum,
which is equivalent to $18,838 for
each $1,000 bond, are being de-
livered with the new bonds.
Exchange of the new bonds
for the old bonds and certificates
of deposit is being made by the
American Security & Trust Com
pany, which company also will
act as trustee under the mort
gage and paying agent for the
coupons.
The letter states further that
reorganization of the club has
been completed under Section "
(b) of the Bankruptcy Act and
that all details have been ap-
proved by the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia. The
Protective Committee consisted OF
Y. E. Booker, J. Barrett Carter

RAIL: MEN. TELL
Of TRAFFIC LOSS

Extent of the diversion of traf'
fic to Panama Canal routes from
the rail lines reaching terminals
on the Pacific Coast was out
lined in somewhat elaborate de-
tail by traffic officers Of the
Santa Fe, Southern and Union
Pacific systems today in the hear
ings before the House subcommitr
tee on the Pettengill bill, pro-
posing repeal of the long and
short haul clause of the Interstate
Commerce Act. It was also de-
clared that the long and short
haul clause interposes barrier
that is practically inSurmountable
by the railroads in their efforts
to effectively meet the competl-
ton of the canal routes, and
those afforded by combinations
with inland waterway barges and
trucks. This diversion of tonnage
from the railroads was represent
ed as resulting in unnecessary de-
preston of the gross revenues OF
the latter, which is to the serious
disadvantage of western produc-
ing interests dependent upon rail
transportation, as 1t is necessarily
reflected in the rail rates that
must be charged on their prod

PRICE CUTTING
TRADE FACTOR

NEW YORK, June Z 0.N.S0.
Improvement in retail sales, slim"
ulated by price reductions, and
a holdoff attitude on fall buying
in all lines were outstanding in
the business picture this week,
Dun & Bradstreet declared today
in it's weekly trade review.
The survey spoke of the cur
tailment in industrial production
and stated it indicated "the be-
ginning of a summer recession
of moderate degree"
The best showing in retail
sales was reported in the agri-
cultural areas with the excep-
ton of the South, the latter af-
fected by the slump in cotton
prices. An adverse factor in the
Far West was the Pacific Coast
lumber strike, and the curtail-
ment of textile operations was
an unsettling influence in New
England.
Wholesale lines, it was stated,
reported numerous repeat orders
for spot delivery but an almost
total absence of future business
due to the uncertainty regarding
prices as a result of the ending
of codes.
