IS FILED IN COURT
Master Approves Plan of
Reorganization-Step One

Ey +, he Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 2s-Special Mas
ter George w. Alger today filed in
United States District Court with his
official blessing the amended plan for
reorganization of Radio-Keith -Orph-
cum Corp. under Section 77-B OF the
bankruptcy act
Today's step is one in q series begun
in 1884. The plan requires approval
by the court to be effective. Some of
its provisions were:
Holders Of $l2,7l8, 500 of outstand-
ing old debentures. with s4.200,000
accrued interest. will receive one share
OF new preferred voting stock and five
shares of common for each 800 due.
Holders Of old common will receive
one-sixtn of a share OF new stock for
each share OF old. together with 10
year option to buy one share of new
common at SIS or one-half share OF
new common at $40 for each share Of
old.
Mr.. Aleer estimated 81. SOC, 900 would
be made available through the sale of
new stock, which would bring the
company's cash total to S2,10O, 900;
that R-K-O Radio Pictures Corp. has
suficient operating cash Of 81, soc. 900,
and that subsidiary theater operating
companies have cash balances of
$3,500,000, not available for general
uses Of the parent company.
Mr.. Alger commented on the fact
that the report he submitted last No.
vember was based on estimated earn
ings higher than received. and that
earnings contemplated for debenture
interest have proved inadequate
chiefly through = disappointing return

To safeguard the new preferred stock
the plan provides that no funded debt
in excess Of $3000.000 shall be is
sued while this stock Is outstanding II
objection Is made within IS days after
notice by holders of ma jority of the
new preferred stock
Rockefeller Center's $4,000. 900 claim,
scaled down to $4,000 900. will be met
under the plan by 100000 shares Of

Other unsecured claims allowed to
the extent OF $8.00O.000 will be lioui-
dated on the basis OF 10 shares of new
common for each 800.

plan becomes effective, were estimated
at ,279,075.l5, with net equity of

TOBACCO OUTLOOK
DECLARED BRIGHT.
Total Acreage on July | Is
Put at 2.9oo Less Than
81 Harvested Total.

Prospects for tobacco growers dur
ing the marketing year for the 1898
crops are rather favorable, though less
so than in the is37-3s season. the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics said
today in reviewing the tobacco situ-
alton and outlook for this years crops
Total acreage Of tobacco on July
was estimated by the bureau as /, $780,
800 acres, or 29 per cent less than
the 1887 harvested acreage. And
total production was indicated at
nearly per cent smaller than the
1887 crop. In general, however. stocks
are estimated to be heavier than A
year ago, and slightly larger supplies
are in prospect for the l93s-39 mar
keting year.
Prospective supplies of flue-cured on
October l are expected to be slightly
larger than at the beginning of the
l937-38 season. But the domestic
consumption outlook appears rather
satisfactory, the bureau said, as ciga-
,rette Withdrawals have held up very
well in recent months.
Less Favorable.
Unless the improvement in general
economic conditions is more rapid
than now anticipated, however. the
hue-cured tobacco market situation
VIII be somewhat less favorable than
IN 1887, 1t was stated. Foreign de-
mand probably will be above the aver
age OF the past five or six years but
Is not expected to be as strong as in
1878. Stocks in foreign countries
nave now reached more normal levels,
Burley supplies are indicated as
per cent larger than in 1878.
through October l stocks are fore
cast at over 10 per cent above those
OF a year earlier; they will be consid-
eraoly less than the above normal
average stocks in the five years 1882
Se. The demand outlook for Burley
is similar to the outlook for domestic
demand for flue-cured.
Greater in Maryland.
An expected reduction in stocks of
Maryland on January l, 1899, may
bring total supplies to but slightly
greater proportions than in 1898, the
bureau reported. No material change
IN the market situation for Maryland
tobacco is in prospect. although the
indicated increase of between IA and
IS per cent in production may result
IN a slight decline in prices below
those being received this season.
Supplies of fire-cured and dark air.
cured tobaccos. particularly cured,
are expected to be smaller in 1889.
The bureau points out, however, that
with the rather stationary domestic
demand for products made from dark
tobaccos and the continued decline
IN exports. the outlook for these to-
baccos continues relatively unfavor-
able.
Due to an expected decline in stocks.
supplies of cigar filler and binder
for l938-39 are estimated as slightly
smaller than they were in the past
season, although indicated production
is greater. especially for binder. Sup
plies Of wrapper are expected to be
some larger than in 1898. In
crease in production may cause some
decline In prices from last years aver
ages especially for those types show
ing the largest increases In supplies.

Railroad labor recommended TODAY
that regulatory power of the Interstate
Commerce Commission be extended to
domestic water and air transportation
and that railroad freight and passen-
ger rates be increased. contingent on
earmarking of added revenue for
equipment and labor expenditures.
The recommendations were part Of
a flve-point program submitted to the
Senate Unemployment Committee BY
A F. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
Earlier at todays session j. j Pelley,
president Of the Association of Amerl-
can Railroads, estimated this countrys
railroads could put 10000 men 10
work if railroad revenues climb back
to normal. He added that a freight
rate increase would bring an immedi-
ate increase in employment
Program Is Presented.
The railroad labor program as pre-
sented follows:
Il. That Federal regulation through
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
be extended to cover domestic water
and air transportation. and with early
and complete enforcement of Motor
Carrier Act to eliminate unfair COM
petition, and competition of subsidized
transportation.
Railroads must pay 8 cents n taxes
for every dollar they receive. while
their competitors on the highways
pay only about 3 cents. and their
competitors on the waterways pay
next to nothing. This inequality
should be corrected. the railroads
contribute so much to employment
and national purchasing power. buy
ing 19 per cent of our fuel oil ,utput,
absorbing II per cent of total iron
and steel output of the country, %
per cent of Our national output of
bituminous coal, and Is per cent of
the total timber cut this figure would
be increased to above 90 per cent if
indirect purchases were included.
that sound economic policy iequires
an adjustment of this situation
.. That an increase in freight rates
| and passenger fares be authorized
contingent upon this increased revenue
being earmarked for use in effecting
economies and improving operations
and service through the purchase of
| equipment materials and supplies
Behind in Maintenance.
The railways claim they are ST..
000,000000 behind in their mainte-
! nance and increased revenues should
be proportionately used for labor and
materials to the end that this de-
! ficiency be absorbed as rapidly as pos
sible.
"3. That the Government continue
to handle mail contracts with rail-
ways instead of diverting this business
| to motor truck transportation.
"a. Revise the Undistributed Profits
Tax Act so as to permit roads to make
provision in good years to carry them
| through depression years.
IS. Amend the Retirement Act and
provide for compulsory retirement at
20, optional at IS, in lieu of present
provision"
