UTILITIES URGED

Douglas Asks Cooperation
and Offers S. E. c. Aid
Under 1885 Act.
Py the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. May 14.-Chairman
William o. Douglas of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, in an
article in the current issue of Elec-
trical World, urges the utilities in
dustry to proceed with programs for
simpliflcation of corporate structure
and 1ntegration OF systems under the
Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1895.
Douglas preferred the commissions
aid and advice in carrying out these
programs
Discussing provisions of the 1885
legislation calling for revamping of
tangled corporate structures and re-
shuffling of scattered properties,
Douglas said:
Those who look forward and not
backward see that the road to sur
vival is the path marked out by this
statute. They are seeking to travel
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission along this path and we
are seeking to make the way as smooth
as possible.
Programs Sought.
I'VE are asking the industry to for
mulate programs and to take steps to-
ward achievement Of the goal. We
shall lend helpful hand to those
who seek it.
If and when it becomes apparent
that any member of the industry is
not making or endeavoring to make
progress wes shall, of course, assume
the initiative under the statute to
move toward the goal marked out by
Congress--the goal which I believe
means salvation for the privately
owned and operated utilities of this
country
Douglas suggested utilities go ahead
with the obvious things to be done"
in the purchase or disposal of prop
critics and simplif1cation of capital
set-ups, insisting that inaction "is
purely the result Of psychological
blockade"
Time Is Required.
eve do not expect every utility sys-
tenn to present us Immediately with q
revised map showing revamped, in
tegrated systems, nor do we propose
to draw such map for the industry

vigorous and intelligent statesman
ship applied to the industry's prob
lens by both private interests and
this commission will result in the
evolution of the map which will not
be crazy quilt but an orderly pat
tern based upon economic, operating

NEW YORK, May 14.-That the air.

Gated by the 81 per cent earnings gain
recorded in the initial 1888 quarter by
the seven leading concerns whose in
terim figures have been released, &C.
cording to Poor's Industry and Invest
ment Surveys. Moreover. signs point
toward maintenance of the favorable
showing for some time to come.
"Airplane production in the first
three months of 1888 was nearly 40
per cent larger than last years COM
parable period" states the analysis.
Despite such a high rate Of activity,
which has reduced backlogs somewhat
since the 1887 year end, aggregate un-
filled orders of 10 manufacturers are
estimated at more than II per cent
over last years sales. Certain con-
Germs. moreover, have sufficient busi-
ness on hand to keep their plants op-

There is also the possibility of SUBJ

country from Great Britain and
France. whose production facilities cur
rently are being taxed by heavy arma-

lation of the Bank of England.
Despite these hectic movements,
whose effects were daily smoothed out
by skillful operations of exchange
equalization funds, it is not believed
that the big French capitalists are as
yet repatriating fugitive capital, pre-
ferring to await conclusive proof that
Daladier is able to deliver the goods.
Reduction in the French bank rate is
regarded as normal gesture of re-
turning confidence and it is not
doubted that the Paris exchange con-
troll fund has now gained possession
of formidable stocks of dollars, pounds
and guilders.
The London County Council loan Of
100000 pounds failed as expected,
with 95 per cent left to the underwrit-
ers. However. opening dealings at only
a fractional discount reveal an abun-
dance of liquid cash resources In the
big institutions.
Summing up, the markets are still
anxious over the central European
outlook and doubtful of the near pros
poets of home trade. Nevertheless,
underlying conditions are so firm in
the stock market that any recovery in
the American market would be reflect
ed here, while commodities still take
their cue entirely from New York.

 Mrs. Garner alleged her husband, Edward R. Garner, young salesman, was often too generous in his in vitations.
 We lived in a four-room house, and often my husband would in vite as many as fifty guests for a weekend drinking party and then ask them to stay all night, Mrs. Garner testified.
 Where would you put so many persons?" Judge Gates asked.
