A'assatt Street, New Tori* City.
The Market
Evidence of a return to normalcy of
Liberty bonda was ?een yesterday 1?
the first sale at par of any government
war obligation in more than a year.
This improvement in United States
bonds has resulted from the gradual
withdrawal of distressed offerings from
the market. The sale of a block of
firt?t-second 4*4 per cents on. the Steck
Exchange caused not a little interest.
The same issue changed hands at
I 1O0.80 on January 20, last year. The
previous sale Of thwe bonds was on
j Monday, at 97, which was 2.?50 "below
| the closing quotation on February 10.
The first-aecond 4%s seldom are traded
lin, ais the outstanding amount is rela
I lively small, and, therefore, subject
j to considerable fluctuation. These
?bonds are the first 3-Mis converted into
fourth loan, due 1932-1947. They Fold
at a high of 102.06 on October 4, 1919,
and the lowest reached was 86, on May
20 last year. There is said to be a
"short interest" in this security, as a
result of heavy selling of Libertys
and the small amount of the issue out?
standing. No doubt this accounts in
a measure for the sharp advance yes?
terday.
Mason City Bondholder Perplexed
Question?I hay* two ?1.000 Mason City
& Fort Dodge Railroad Company's first
mortgage 4 per cent fifty-year'go*d-bonds,
due June 1, 1955. This railroad is now
part of the Chicago Great "Western sys?
tem.. They refused, to Bay the last dividend
and the Interstate Commerce Commission
.advanced the necessary funds to mako
payment. Since then there has been a
bondholders' committee formed. In your
opinion, what are the future prospects of
these bonds? Js there any market for
them now and at what price? "Would it
be advisable to deposit-the bonds with the
bqndholders or sit tight and .wait for de?
velopments? I have noted you advise
that Chicago Great -Western ,4 per cent
were a good buy. Are not the above men?
tioned bonds a prior lien to Chicago Great
-Western 4s of a considerable portion of
their system??C. K. N.
Answer?The Mason City & Fort
Dodge (386 miles) is leased to and
operated by the Chicago Great West?
ern. The Chicago Great Western first
mortgages cover this leasehold agree?
ment, but the two morgages are made
by separate and distinct companies
and the only tie between the Chicago
Great Western and the Mason City &
Fort Dodge is the lease agreement.
The Chicago Great Western is a weak
sytsem, as a whole, and the first mort?
gage bonds of the Chicago Great West?
ern itself might be consi(tered a good
investment for certain particular re?
quirements, as, for instance, where a
man insists on high yield rather than
safety. This hardly applies equally
to the Mason City & Fort Dodge. There
is a market for the Mason City & Fort
Dodge bonds and they are quoted at
42 bid, 44 asked. Wait until the pro
ftective committee's plans are more
fully developed.
Cons. Textile and Montgomery Ward
?Question?Kindly give me a, little In?
formation on Consolidated Textile. Has it
more than one stock? What is its par
value? Has it any bonde-1 Indebtedness?
How long has lt been organize?!? Where
are its plants located? What class of
goods does it -manufacture ? M'hat dlvl
dend does it pay? What is Its financial
condition at present? Also the same data
on Ivlontgomery Ward & Co.?F. E. P.
Answer?The Consolidated Textile
Corporation was incorporated in Dela
i ware in 1919. It is a merger of sev
| eral Georgia and North Carolina mills
manufacturing a wide variety of cot?
ton fabrics. There is only one class of
stock, of no par value, of which 267,637
of the 1,000,000 shares are outstanding
They were offered in 1919 at $30. There
are also $3,000,000 7 per cent three
yqar convertible sinking fund deben?
ture notes due April 1, 1923, which ure
exchangeable at the rate of $1,000 for
twenty-two shares of stock. On
August 28, 1920, the net assets ap?
plicable to the common stock were
calculated at $44 a share, but this in?
cluded inventories of $4,448,000. It is
reasonable to suppose that this figure
was considerably impaired in the col?
lapse of the cotton goods market after
that date, the high peak for such goods
having been reached in late July. The
dividend rate is $3 a year a share. The
shares are too speculative for invest?
ment, in our opinion, especially in view
of conditions in the trade at present.
Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc., incor?
porated in Illinois in 1919 as a suc?
cessor to the first large mail order
house, of the same name, established
in 1872. The outstanding capitaliza?
tion is $8,000,000 7 per cent cumula?
tive preferred, par $100; 205,000 shares
Class 4- 7 per cant cumulative stock of
no par value, 95,000 shares of Class B
stock of no par value and 850,000
shares of common stock of no par
value. Dividends are paid on the first
issue only. Th? Class A dividend was
passed in January. The company lost
about $1,000,000 on its gross sales of
$112,333,000 in 1920, so none of its
stocks are entitled at present to ah
investment rating.
Inquires About Dubiske Stock?
Question?Please give me any Informa?
tion possible regarding the reliability of
H. W. Du-Msk? & Co., Ill West Monroe
Street, Chicago, stocks and bonds. Also,
whether yoa would consider Continental
Clay Company and Stevens-Duryea, Inc.,
aa safe investments.?E. W.
Answer-?We do not consider Conti?
nental Clay and Stevens-Duryea stocks
to be safe investments. We do not
pass on the reliability of brokers. Our
criticism of H. W. Dubiske & Co. is
that they sell speculative stocks to
small investors on the representation
that they are safe, that there is no
ready market for the shares, and the
process of persuading people to buy
these stocks is expensive?not to Du?
biske, but to the buyer?especially
when comparison is made with secu?
rities which are safe.

Would you advise taking up the rights?
On experienced udrlee I pim-haaed South?
ern Pacific at 100 and cannot understand
the drop of twenty points.?V, J. G.

change February 8. The company, on
January 28 mailed to stockholders of
record warrant? for the rights to sub?
scribe to Pacific Oil atock. If the
stock was registered in your name you
should have received the warrants,
which are still good. If it was in
another name, you should make claim

to go into it. You ?Te Tunning the frisk

England Flans an Import
Duty on Cheap Goods
Asm I? to Keep Merchandise
From Congesting Markets and
Disturbing Exchange
LONDON, Feb. 17.?The Star to-day
prints an outline of the gojk*ernment'B
'''ant?-dumping" bill," drafted w|th"tho
purpose" of improving trade and stabil?
izing exchange. The newspaper says the
measure will be introduced in Com?
mons next' week.
The measure would empower the
Board of Trade, after committee recom?
mendations, either to bar entirely or
to admit-on license a number of. ar?
ticles, among them fine chemicals, cer?
tain glasswares, special porcelains,
optical lenses, tungsten powder, xinc
oxide, arc lamp carbons and gas
mantles.
The clauses dealin?z with exchange,
says the-Star, would enable the'-gov?
ernment "to impose an import duty,
, particularly on cheap goods, which, ris?
ing or fallihg with exchange rates over
the period of a month, will tfstablish
parity between the price of imported
and home-produced .goods."

Wheat Again Lower
As Support Fails;
Tariff the Factor
Traders, Believing Emergen?
cy Measure ^ill Be Vetoed,
Ignore Possible Change
Under Harding's Control
CHICAGO, Feb. 17.?Wheat traders,
conftonte.d to-day by the apparent like-,
lihood that the emergency tariff bill
would be vetoed by President Wil?;on,
overlooked or ignored a possibility
that action by the President-elect
might suddenly change the outlook. Val?
ues sagged from lack of support and
closed heavy at 2%@3c net lower, with
March $l-.68-%@$1.68%, and May $1.59
@$1.59U. Corn lost l*4@l%c, and oats
%@1--8C. In provisions the outcome
varied from 35p decline to 7c advance.
except during the that few minutes of
the session, tho fute of the emergency
tariff attracted but little attention In the
wheat pit. Fair buying, which took place
at th<> start, was ascribed to the fart, that'
the bill had finally passed both houses;
but thon the subject soc-med to pass out
of notice, and lt Is certain that compara?
tively few dealers were aware of Chair?
man Fordney's departure from Washington
to confer -wtth^Mr. Harding as to tlie. pro?
posed enactment of a new emergency, bill
immediately after March 4, minus any
veto. Bearish sentiment which dorr.inaied
the market throughout the remainder of
the- day was due largely to cool weather.
a condition assumed to be more or less of
a preventive of crop damage by green
bugs. Consl?lerablo selling was based Also
on a bank failure at Sioux City, Iowa.
Increased rural offerings of corn tended
to weaken prices for corn and ?nata.
Provisions averaged lower, in line with
grain and hogs.

N. Y. Income Tax 37 Million
ALBANY, Feb. 17.?Receipts for the
1919 income tax in New York, the first
ever collected by the state, amount
to $37,354,8fi5. This amount, Baid Mark
Graves, director of the State Income
Tax Bureau, in making the announce?
ment to-dav, will be further increased
by $750,000 through the payment of
additional assessments on returns al?
ready audited, which will send the
total well over the $38,000,000 mark.
"About 800,000 persons filed returns
and more than 612,000 paid a tax in
amounts from one cent to nearly ?1,
000,000," Director Graves said.
"The interesting fact was disclosed
that more than 140,000 single and mar?
ried women, filing separate returns,
contributed a total of more than $?,500,
000. Approximately 344,000 women
filed joint returns with their husbands."
Roads Plot End
Of Labor Board,
Unions Declare
Arguments TSTade Against
Alleged! Plan of Carriers
to Save $300,000,000 a
Year by Cutting Wages
Further Delay opposed
Executives* Representative
Objects to Conferences
and Asks a Decision
???????
CHICAGO, Feb. 17.?Representatives
of organized labor appeared before the
Railway Labor Board to-day in ??
supreme effort to check the drive start?
ed by the railroad companies to cut
$300,000,000 a year from their ex?
penses by the abrogation of the war?
time wage agreements, as a preliminary
to a general reduction of wages.
Frank P. Walsh, counsel for the
brotherhoods, issued "a solemn warn?
ing to this country and to this board"
that if the railway executives were not
restrained the executives would render j
the transportation act emasculated and
?abortive, "this board will be destroyed
insofar as its efficient functioning is
concerned and we shall have endless
turmoil and instability in the railroad
industry."
B. M. Jewell, president of the railway
employees' department of the American
Federation of Labor, in an attaek on
the executives' stand, presented a dual
proposal to the board. He first request?
ed a recess until March 14 to allow em?
ployees to prepare a reply to the ex?
ecutives' objections to the wage agree?
ments. As an alternative he proposed
that the whole case be thrown out of
court and the controversy remanded to
a conference between the roads and
the employees.
Delay Is Opposed
Protest immediately waa entered by
E. T. Whiter, of the carriers' commit?
tee, against delay and to any proposals
for further conferences. He declared
that the question the board now faced
was merely whether these agreements
Should be continued.
Mr. Walsh told the board that if the
carriers did not comply with the law
the employees would inform the public
as to "the real situation,*' in an at?
tempt to prevent Congress from enact?
ing lav^jpfor financial-relief of the rail?
roads.
"At this moment the carriers are at?
tempting to dip their hands into the
United States Treasury and extract the
enormous sum of $750,000,000, which is
only their initial effort," Mr. Walsh as?
serted.
The speaker reiterated the right of
the employees to organize and act as a
unit, and declared such action was con?
templated in the transportation act.
The railroads could not accept the
benefits of the law without also agree?
ing to labor rights, he argued. He sail
he saw in the railroads' efforts to
thwart the employees an attempt to
render unsettled, chaotic conditions
which would "finally lead to the ob?
struction of their own house," and re?
peated his request that railroad man?
agers and directors be subpoenaed for
cross-examination.
Employees' Contentions
Mr, Jewell's statement follows in
part:
"Our fundamental interest in this
case is the principle of collective bar?
gaining on the basis of union recogni?
tion.
"T?hc representatives of the railroads j
are not complying with the transpor?
tation act either in spirit or in fact.
The attempt is being made to destroy
unionism as the basis of collective bar?
gaining as it was written in the law
both as an essential to the proper
application of the law and to the very
existence of this board.
"Although the transportation act is
based on union recognition, these rep?
resentatives of the carriers aim to
weaken or destroy unions. For this
reason they refuse all general con
?ferences or national boards of adjust?
ment, and confine their collective bar?
gaining to individual railroads. By
centraii-zing their own bargaining
power and decentralizing that of the
unions, they hope to weaken the
unions by attacking and crushing the
outlying local organizations.
Insincerity Charged
"We would emphasize thet this al?
leged movement to reduce the wages of
unskilled workers is not sincere. If it
wa_ desired fundamentally to obtain
wage reductions the representatives of
the railroads as a whole would request
.a conference with the national repre?
sentatives of the labor organizations
affected, and if they could not reach an
agreement to reduce rates of pay the
matter would be referred to this board
for adjustment as a general complaint.
What the railroad representatives
actually are aiming at is r.o impair th
principle of union recognition, destroy
the labor organizations by striking at
their local units, and in the end bring
discredit to this board by so over?
whelming it with individual complaints
as to make it impossible to function
effectively.
"We, therefore, wish to Orge that the
board take judicial notice of this case
by adopting the following course of
procedure:
"1. That the board refer the national
agreements which are now before it to
a joint conference of the representa?
tives of the railroads and of the labor
organizations, with the recoin m en da?
tion that their agreements be adjusted
by negotiation as soon as possible, the
board agreeing to pass promptly upon
any points of difference which may
arise from the negetiatioi-?t.
"2. That the board request the repre?
sentatives of the railroads and the
'repr?sentatives of the labor organiza

"3. That in reply to Mr. Atterbury's
notice to the board and His srubsBifoent
litter to the chairman advising; him
that he contemplates filing a Hood of
individual complaints to reduce the
wages of unskilled employees, the
board recommend to General Atter

'^?ll our recommendations are made
because this method of procedure can
be carried out quickly and inex?
pensively &b present, because the rep?
resentatives of all the railroad labor
organizations are now in the city'and
available for conference, and Mr At
terbury has announced that a meeting
