White slavery now means, of course,
moral bondage of women. The sig
nificance of the phrase two centuries
ago was far worse.
Few Americans of today have any
knowledge that slavery in this coun-
try was not confined to Amerindians

There is an item in English chro-
nologies for Sept. %, 1871; a group
of 100 felons taken from Newgate
Prison, London, was placed on ship

All were to be slaves. A little later
in the seventeen hundreds an esti-

in slavery were landed at Philadelphia
in one four-year period.

without a written permit. He was
driven even harder than black slaves,
because his physical collapse or death

us. STEEL ACTION
Directors Weigh Problem
of Arrearages and Conn.,
mon Dividend.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 27.-Wall Street
awaited the meeting Of United States
Steel directors scheduled for late this
afternoon with keen interest today.
Directors were confronted with the
problem Of arrears of unpaid divi-
dends on the preferred stock amount
ing to 1925 q share, together with
regular quarterly payment of SITS
due to be ordered at this time.
1t was pointed out that with s.
602,81l preferred shares outstand-
ing, $39,630,921 would be required to
clear up the arrearages and disburse
the regular quarterly payment, should
the directors take such q step.
To meet this, the corporation had
on December 81 cash and marketable
securities aggregating some $l25, ,0O0,-
900. The earnings in the three
months ending March 81 were to be
announced after today's meeting. In
the past, sources close to the big
steel company have expressed the
opinion that its cash account should
be maintained around 100000, 900 at
least.
At the recent annual meeting of
stockholders it was recalled that
Myron c. Taylor, chairman, remarked
that he had a tremendous ambition"
to see all stockholders rewarded" for
their patience.
There have been no disbursements
on the common stock since 1892, and
Wall Street has expected that arrear-
ages on the preferred would be cleared
up before anything would be paid to
common stockholders.
Dividends on the preferred issue
are cumulative at the rate of 81 q
share annually, and for the first time
since the corporation was formed in
1901, the company failed to pay the
fun regular rate on this issue in
1898.
In December of last year a paymen,
OF 81 on account of arrearaRes was
made, and at the January meeting
the regular quarterly payment of SITS
was ordered.
