The Business Outlook 'CONTROVERSY OVER RAILROAD LEGISLATION DISTURBS FINANCIAL CIRCLES HAS STIMULATED NEW APPEAL FOR RETENTION OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL UNTIL 1922 ACTION FORESEEN ON SUBJECT OF MERCHANT MARINE CAR SHORTAGE IS SERIOUS HANDICAP. 2!!ij& v 3 GO ANYWHERE BY AIRSHIP SOON Steamship owners in London, of nniplo means, arc seriously planning I) I (Business Feature Service.) The Congressional controversy over most points In pending railroad legis lation, threatening to re-open the whole subject for discussion on the floor of both Bouses, has caused some anxiety In buslnesB circles. Only about 30 days remain in which to enact legislation. As a Inst resort Congress might have to ndopt the ex pedient of enacting an emergency measure, as suggested prior to the ex tension of control In December. Not only would this action be unfortunate, tending to prolong tho uncertainty Joundlng tho roads, but it would t to substantiate the claim of labor farm interests, revived by the re t split, that at least two years (un x.v government control) will be re quired to decide upon a wise course and onaco protective legislation. Motives of political expediency will impel tho Congressmen to harmonize their differences, as the railroads must necessarily suffer by every week's de lay and the party leaders would find themselves In a most embarrassing position If compelled to ask the presi dent for i second extension of the time limit. The peace treaty has been again a bone of contention, presenting an even more discouraging outlook: as re gards agreement than the railroads. If the question Is flung back to the House and Senate, weeks and perhaps months will elapse before the public can' hope for a decision this in the teeth of an aroused public opinion, expressing itself variously, that de mands a termination of debate. Action Is foreseen on the formula' tlon of a judicious policy governing the new merchant marine and the governments participation in the con struction nnd operation of ships. The Senate committee on Commerce has begun hearings. Conclusions w,lll be long delayed. Meantime the ship ping industry will suffer, like the railroads, from uncertainty. , The car shortage has been serious, especially in parts of1 tho middle west and north west and moro lately In eastern coke producing regions, af fecting tho production and distribu tion of iron and steel, coke, lumber, and other important commodities, and tho crop movement. Apparently the shortage Is getting worse, rather than better, and If business expands will further intensify. Mild weather will afford some relief, but tho only perm anent relief must come from the re pair of old and the addition of new equipment. This, In turn, hinges upon a final and satisfactory dispo sition of the railroads. Tho further break in exchange to the point where sterling quotes at $3.52 or below, the German mark ut $.015, and the Austrian crown at $.0031 Is cause for genuine alarm in that it denotes a continued postpone ment of action looking toward the distribution of necessary credits. The Impending loss to American export trade is not in Itself disturbing un less tho decline be sudden. Decem ber exports show the expected decline1, while .still reaching a high figure, but Imports unfortunately do not reveal a corresponding increase. ft p fi 3 & "Enormous frauds," Mr. Hoover says, have been practiced in connec tion with the sale of food to hungry Europe. Fireside Talks With Members of the Newspaper Bible Glass By REV. E.B. ALLEN, D.D. . Pilgrim Congregational Church Oak Park, 111. EPI 4 a SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR v FEBRUARY S, 1920: "PETfR AT LYDDA AND JOPPA." Golden Text: "The prayer of faith shall save r nu that is sick, and the Lord shall i ise him up." James 5:15. Lesson AUs 9:32-43. L Dorcas. In the ancient city of Joppa there was a disciple of Jesus called Dorcas. "This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did." When 'she died, they showed coats and gar ments which she had made. The peo ple whom she had helped stood fay weeping. This woman has been a type of faithful and unselfish serv ice in the christian church all through the centuries. Every church has its Dorcastry and its Dorcasses. I am particularly wondering what works of yours or mine people will show after we are dead? If they point to the things we secured to satisfy our own selfish ends, they will have only scorn for us and no praise. It is not the positions we hold, nor the money we accumu late, nor the power we wield which brings happiness to others. It is rather the way in which we secure these things and .the unselOsh minis try we render in our use of them which makes our lives consistent and worth while. How shall we do good deeds? John Wesley answers: Do all the good you can; By all the means you can; In all the ways you can; In all the places you can; At all the times you can; To all the people you can; As long as ever you can. 1 Saxon Auditorium Toledo i 9 1 9 I I s s I I i Thursday Feb. 12 Three Days Matinee Saturday.
