Clio Unit Files New Suit
On Transit Fare Increase

The Washington Industrial Union
Council (CIO) and its president
Henry Beitscher, yesterday after
noon took another step in an effort
to stop the Capital Transit Co. fare
increase which was put into effect
in May through an order of the
Public Utilities Commission.
The latest step taken was in the
form of a new suit filed late yester-
day asking the District Court to
review the PUG increased fare order
and to set it aside. The new suit
referred to a copy of a petition for
reconsideration of the new fare rate
which previously had been filed with
the PUG by the council. A principal
contention of the petition was that
the rate of return is too high.
Still pending in District Court is
another suit filed by the council and
Mr.. Beitscher in May contesting the
legality of the PUG fare increase
order.
The rate increase, which went into
effect on May II, stepped up the
fares from 81s cents a token to a
straight 10-cent charge and raised
the price of the weekly pass from
SIPS to $3.50.

Six Arbitrafors Begin
Secret Deliberations
On Rail Pay Boost
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. ga siX-man
board of arbitration met privately
today to start preparing findings
on the demands of II unions OF
nearly 100000 incorporating en-
ployes for a 2o-cent- an-hour wage
increase from the Nations railroads.
Before the hearings, which began
August and ended yesterday, the
unions and the carriers agreed that
the findings of the arbitrator,
headed by William M. Leiserson
chairman of the National (Railway)
Mediation Board, would be binding
on both parties.t
Final arguments in support OF
employees demands were presented
by Lester P. Schoene, attorney for
the brotherhoods, who urged that
the arbitrator not trim in any way
the original 20-cent demand. Mr.
Schoene termed the demands mod
est" and asserted that they were
drafted at time when it appeared
that there might be some relief
from high living costs for the Ma
tons workingmen. Since then, he
said, developments have indicated
the request was far too low"
E. H. Burgess, counsel for the
railroads joint wage committee
told the board at the closing session
yesterday that the million men had
received two wage increases in the
last year and the 20-cent additional
increase would boost rail payrolls
$3.50, 100000 annually.
Mr.. Burgess said a wage increase
at present would be contrary to
the established economic policy of
the nation" He asserted that evil
dence showed that pay Of railroad
workers already exceeds the general
wage level.

July Corn Scars
To Au-Time High
In Chicago Market

CHICAGO, July 5-PEJuly corn
scared 7 IL cents to another all
time peak of $2.13 a bushel today
in heavy trading. Wheat and oats
also showed substantial gains, with
July oats also hitting a new sea-
sonal high of $1.02 IL.
There was considerable short
covering and commission house
buying. July corn continued tight,
with almost IA, 000, 900 bushels OF
contracts outstanding at the close
of trading Thursday and only about
400. 900 bushels believed available
for delivery.
Brllish factors in corn included
forecasts for rain in parts OF the
corn belt, and a forecast by c. M.
Calvin, crop statistician for James
E. Bennett and Company, for a
relatively small corn crop.
Wheat closed "a to 2 5-8 cents
higher than the previous finish.
July $2.18 "a to SO, corn was up
3 3-8 to Z IL Genus, July 4A.1| o"7 "
$2.13, and oats were 1 1-8 to l SO
cents higher, July $1.02 to $1.02 liz.
Calvin predicted a corn crop OF
2. 682, 900, 900 bushels, compared
with 3,287, 297, 900 harvested last
year.. He tentatively estimated
corn acreage at 81, 522, 900, the
smallest since 1894. The first gov
eminent estimate Of the corn crop
will be issued next Thursday.
Traders said government officials
had been suggesting a possible
crop of about 1890, 900, 900 bushels.
Some wheat buying apparently
was based on the belief that prices
at Kansas City are so near the
government loan basis that there
is little prospect Of an immediate
decline.

NEW BALL PARK
AT WHITEVlLLE
American Legion Pos
Dedicates Its New Sta
dunn; Burns Speaks

WHITEVILLE, July 5.-Dedica,
ton of Whiteville American Leg
ions new $25, 900 Legion Stadium,
located one and one-half miles east
of the city on the Chadbourn road,
has been announced.
Featured speaker of the occasion
held Friday afternoon was R. H.
Burns, Jr., attorney and promin-
ent civic leader Of Whiteville.
Burns recalled that two years
ago the land on which the stadium
is built was used for a prisoner OF
war camp, at which alien Ger
mans and Italians were informed.
In his speech before roughly S.
600 people Burns said: 1.-THE dedi-
cation of this stadium is symbolic
of Amerieanism over Fascism-a
triumph of freedom over slavery"
The dedication of the new sta
dunn, built of cinder blocks and
patterned closely after the Will
mington Legion stadium, also was
celebrated with a baseball game
between Whiteville and Red
Springs, with Whiteville emerging
victor by a score of 9 to 4.
Another game has been sched-
uled for today when the Eastern
All-Stars meet the Western ALI
Stars on the new stadium's dia-
mond.
Although the stadium furnishes
facilities for day games only at
the present, it will have lights in
stalled by August, it was announc-
ed.

WEEKLY BOND
PRICE REPORTS
Rising Prices For Railroad
Stocks Brings
Rally
NEW WORK .J111v

NEW YORK, July w his
ing prices for railroad bonds gave
the market one of the best rallies
of the year in this weeks market,
Responding to a number of fav.
orable news items, individual car
|rier issues closed fractions to more
than 3 points above the preceding
FRIDAY. Trading interest, as usual,
centered on the so-caHed reorgani-
cation group.
Top billing among favorable fac
tors was given to the request by
the nations carriers for a new IN
crease in freight rates which, 1t
was estimated, would yield approx
mately 81, o91, 900, 600 a year in ad-
ditional revenues. The 500 roads,
representing all operating lines,
which filed a joint petition with
the interstate commerce commits
sion, said the increase was neces-
sary to bridge the gap between
present revenues and increased
costs of operations.
A boost of about II per cent in
freight rates was authorized Ell
fective Jan. l last.
In addition SO southern railroads
asked ICC authority to boost their
basic passenger fares for pullman
car travel, and eastern roads, re-
Gently Civ - 10 per cent hike IN
basic pas fares, asked the
ice to m. : increase amount
to at least l..a per cent on every
ride.
In Washington the Senate Com
merce committee approved legis-
lation permitting stockholders OF
bankrupt, railroads to reorganlze
voluntarily under supervision OF
ICC without going to court. Under
certain conditions some railroads
now in bankruptcy would be return
ed to stakeholder control. Similar
legislation has been approved by
a House subcommittee.
May operating reports of most
rails continued to show stable I'M
provement over 1916. 1t was not
ed, however, that y~ear-to-year COM
parsons were distorted by the fact
that last year industrial strife cut
heavily into rail profits.
The new money market took a
breathing spell after recent activ-
ity. One of the largest deals was an
offering by Goldman Sachs and
company, and Lehman Brothers OF
$50, 900 shares of General Foods
corporation $3.50 cumulative pre-
The offering, priced at
$100.50 a share, was quickly over
subscribed.
The world bank moved a step
sale of its first securities
when it registered two issues, to-
$3.50, 600, 900, with the Securi-
ties and Exchange commission.
The issues, which included a 10
year 2 IL per cent bond and a 25-
year three per cent issue, will not
be underwritten but will be mar
keted through dealers.
Another wartime measure was
abandoned in the field of governing
when the federal reserve
open market committee announced
it would allow treasury 90-day bills
issued after July 10 free to find
their own interest rate in the
money market. The rate for five
years has been held at 3-8 of one
per cent.
