use as the Committees of Congress may
make of them. The joint committee reach
ed an agreement on every section Of the
proposed act except the one providing for
a resident commissioner to represent the
Virgin Islands. There was a difference of
views as to the method of selection. This
is minor differ ence, as the Congress will
say how such a man should be chosen if
they permit us to have a resident COM
missioner.
At midnight the committee took recess
while it enjoyed nice little supper prepar

of the Committee.

the men showed signs of fatigue, and eye

The u S. S. Marion sailed from Chris

day morning with members of the Organic

and the Marion plunged through choppy
seas.
Soon after leaving port the Captain Or
dered that breakfast be prepared for the
members of the Committee and the general
courtesy extended was indeed remarkable.
Arriving at St. Thomas the Marion
went to the dock where the Governors car
was parked. The chauffeur said he had
instructions to take the group to the Gov
eminent House.
At the Government House the orderly
received the Committee and conducted
them into the building
The Governor was very cordial in his
welcome and telephoned the Chairman of
the ST. Thomas Committee to meet
at the Governors office, and within half
an hour an interesting discussion was in
progress. Governor Cramer agreed with
the major part of the proposed act, but
stated his position with frankness that
must be admired, and further advised that
the Council send delegates to Washington
to present the peoples views to the Com
mittees of Congress.
Hon. Arnold M. Golden joined the Com
mittee on Sunday night. Having to at

Guaranty Trust Believes More

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 81 The
Guaranty Trust Co., in its monthly
business survey, asserted today that
the Nations employment conditions
would be improved "if the state of the
public finances were such as to in
spire more confidence on the part Of
those who supply capital and those
who employ labor"
In general discussion of trade and
economic conditions the latter referred
to the well-sustained volume of retail
business, increased activity in the
construction industry and expansion
of life insurance sales as among the
most favorable signs Of business re-
vival.
Concerning Government finances it
said. in part:
IF the millions of person with
moderate incomes are to escape the
evils of crushing taxation on the one
hand and the even greater evils of
monetary disorder on the other. the
escape must come through an abrupt
change in fiscal policies in response
to an informed and aroused public
opinion.
The complacency with which gov
ernmental deficits and mounting pub
lie debts in recent years have been
viewed by the majority of our citizens
bears eloquent testimony to the lack
Of understanding on the part of the
average man regarding the extent to
which these developments affect his

OFFERS
PLAN FOR ARREARS
Recapitalization Would Clear
Up Back Dividends and
Other Obligations.
By me Assoc lated Press.


NEW YORK, August 31.-Thermoid
Co. of Trenton, N. j., producer Of
brake lining and products OF asbestos
and rubber. announced today a plan
of recapitalization designed to clear
up arrears in dividens and sinking
fund obligations on preferred stock
and to make possible payment of
dividends.
A summary Of the proposed plan,
sent to stockholders by F. E. Schluter,
president, noted the following pro-
visions:
Present z per cent cumulative con-
vertible preferred stock is to give way
to new convertible stock, each share
of present preferred to receive one
and one-third shares of new CONVEX
tible preferred. The new preferred
will be convertible into three shares
Of common and will carry cumulative
dividends at the rate of So year,
beginning September Is.
In addition to being convertible
into three shares of common, the new
preferred will be entitled to special
dividend of three shares of common
stock for each present share of pre-
ferred, to make up for back dividends.
The announcement said the plan
was developed in view of improvement
in earnings in the past two years,
and as a preliminary step looking
to the successful refunding of the 81
51S.50o of flve-year per cent notes
maturing February !, 1887"
The plan will be considered by
stockholders at special meeting on
September Is.
