RAPID TRANSIT SAGGED
IN STAGNANT SESSION
Investors Have Been Steadily
Picking Up Local High-grade
Stocks and Bonds.
Uncertainty as to tho outcomo of tho
Qormnn roply to tho Prealdent'a note re
(rardlnrr tho rlghtB of American citizens
on tho high sen- checked the trading on
tho locnl exchange to such an extent to
day that tho markot wna practically stag
nant exoept for United State- Steel That
stock was fairly actlvo for a time, but after
opening firm gradually receded nnd then
bicntno dull. It waa -aid that thcro was
again a llttlo liquidation for foreign ac
count, but that utiles uoro not being
pressed rtoadltig, lcnuslvanla, Llildwln
Locomotive, Asphalt preferred and Loko
Superior wcro all Inclined to nag, but
tho dealings wcro for the most part
confined to odd lots Incidentally It
was stated thnt u. largo stock exchange
hou-o In this city during tho last
week has bought no less thnn 11100,000
worth of standard railroad shares for
Philadelphia capitalists, who feel they
nro chenp nround present tiuotntlotin
Interests closo to tho Pennsylvania Rail
road predicted todny that tho Juno earn
ings will show n big Increaso In both
gross mid net They base this partly on
the showing of Idlo cars on tho lines
cast nnd went, which showed a decrease.
as of July 2d ot 22,232, or SV per cent ,
from April 1. Tho number of cars now
Idlo arc ut tho lowest point of the year
Tho fact that tho Jitney fraternity had
nppnrently found a waj to evade tho
now" ordinance through colling them sight
seeing vehicles, together with tho ad
mission by tho authorltleo that It would
be Impossible to enforco tho onllnanco
anyhow, been nee. Councils had omitted to
piovldo tho rcuulslto funds for tho pur
poso, excrtod a depressing effect upon
sentiment with regard to the traction
atockn Hnpld Transit lost a small frac
tion, but offerings wrro negligible, and
tho other Isiuen, such as Union and Phila
delphia Traction shares, remained quiet.
In considering tho reduced earnings
shnnti till sp'rlrfff by tho Rapid Transit
Company It must bo borno In mind that
most other Important tractions In the
East have mado a poor showing. For
Instance, tho gross receipts of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Hjstcm showed a loss
In Juno of 122,000, or nearly 1800 per day.
Tho samn tan bo said of tho cntiro June
quarter, every month producing a shrink
age, the aggregnto loss being 1123,000
This Indicates that not only Jltr.eys, but
closed mills, bnd weather and general
business depression havo had much to
do with tho losses , of tho big eastern
traction systems
In tho bond division, too, stagnation
reigned, except for n slight advanco In
American dan and Electric Ss nnd mod
erate sales of Pennsylvania general 4s
and Philadelphia Electric 4s. Lake Su
perior Income Cs were offered down to
3014 without a sale
EMPLOYERS OP LABOR
TO PROTECT THEMSELVES
Will Establish Manufacturers Cas
ualty Insurance Company.
Tho manufacturers nnd employers of
labor have not been Idlo In making ar
rangements to protect themselves under
tho now workmen's compensation act,
which goes Into effect January 1, 1918.
They havo formed on organization which
will later bo chartered under the namo of
tho Manufacturers' Casualty Insurance
Company, a stock corporation which will
be owned, managed and controlled by em
ployers of labor In the Stato of Tonnsyl
vnnla and elsewhere where workmen's
compensation laws are In operation.
The premiums paid last year by tho
employers of labor to tho casualty com
panies were over 131,000,000, and tho losses
paid were less than 9.600,000 It Is esti
mated the premiums In Pennsylvania
under tho new act will amount to 120,
000,001) annually.
A meeting was held last week at ths
Merchants' Union Trust Company, and
Thomas S. Oando, of tho Dando Printing
Company, was elected chairman of the
board of trustees, which trustees are to
bo the custodians of tho funds until the
Incorporation of the company. The Mer
chants' Union Trust Company was elected
treasurer of the trustees
The trustees are at present composed of
Thomas fl. Dando, chairman, president of
tho Dando Printing Company, Joseph P
Mack, second vice president of the Union
Paving Company, Perclval 13. Poerderer,
president of Robert II. Focrderer Com
pany, Ino . Iforace B. Bpackman, second
vice presldont of the Lukens Iron Com
pany, and Itussell Duane. Esq., of Duane,
Morris & Heckscher. Counsel for the
trustees aro Dunne, Morris & Heckscher,
The organization of the company Is based
on tha non-agency principle, which means
that as tho Insurance Is compulsory,
agents to secure the business will be un
necessary, and, therefore, a large saving
will be netted to the employers of labor
In placing their Insurance direct with the
company. The office of the trustees has
been opened at 807-C8f00-B10 Franklin
Bank Building.
