GOSSIP OF THE STREET
I TREASURY STATEMENT DEFINES
STATUS OF 'DEALER IN SECURITIES'
ft'
I Financiers Puzzled as
Within Ruling on Liability to War Tax.
Gossip of the Street
' W,IAT ls "a deaIer ln securities?
( financiers and others who wont
f ruling on mo optional pian tor reporting securities In connection with
tho war-tax act. '
A Treasury statement has just been Issued authorising omdnlly tho
1 new plan for requiring' Inventories, and ls as follows:
A dealer In securities, ln order to come within tho Treasury
.decision, 2609, must be a merchant of securities, whether an Indi
vidual, partnership or corporation, with an established phici of busi
ness, whoso principal business l the purchaso of securities and their
resalo to customers. Ta.xpn.yors who buy and sell for Investment or
speculation and (In their Individual capacity) officers of corporations
or members of partnerships which deal In securities, nro not dealers.
Tho Treasury definition says further:
If as tho result of the decision of the Hupretnc Court It la deter
mined that tho return of Income upon tho basis of Inventories at
market value ls not permitted by the law, any dealers in merchandise
or ln securities who havo made returns upon such basis will bo re
quired to mako revised returns based upon Inventories taken at cost.
In returns filed on or beforo March 1 dealers ln merchandlso or in
securities will bo required to specify on what basis returns were made.
Bankers Opposed to Higher Rate on Certificates
Attention was called recently In this column to tho failure of the
Government and banking and Investment houses to enter an active cam
paign for tho sale of the Government 4 per cent certificates of Indebted
ness. Now there Is a rumor that a new Issuo ls to bo put out bearing
4',i or 4H per cent Interest.
Tha last Issuo of January 2 Is not regarded as a success up to date,
s only about $250,000,000 havo been sold, as against J691, 000,000 of thoso
of November 2, 1917.
There nro very few bankers who oie In faor of a higher rate
than 4 per cent, either for these certificates or for the .next Liberty Bond
issue, as a higher rate would havo tho tendency to causo heavy with
drawals from savings banks and pther savings Institutions, and would
finally result In these concerns being obliged tollquldato In tho open
market nt similar prices to those that prevailed during tho last Liberty
Loan campaign. A majority are In favor of a more liberal tax exemption
feature for the next Liberty Issuo rather than a change In Interest rate.
Thcro was also a rumor that the Government was seriously taking
under consideration tho advisability of making tho next Liberty Loan
more attractive, by having the bonds maturo In llvo or' ten ycarH. Wlillo
it is acknowledged that tho greater pait of the Issue, whether it bo sl
or eight billions, will bo bought from purely patriotic motlvo, it ls said
by some In a. position to know that tho main consideration will bo to
Insure their salo on an investment basis.
Republic Railway and Light Company's New Note Issue
New Issues of bhort-term notes Mill continue to conio out, with "each
, successlvo Issue, It unj thing, more attractive to tho Investor than the
previous one.
Tho latest is an Itsiie of $1,300,000 Kepulillc Hallway and Light Com
pany two-year C per cent convertible secured gold notes, duo January
IB, 1920.
These notes have been brought out by a syndicate headed by Itcllly,
Brock & Co. and Harper & Turner.
Thcy'nro port of a lutal authorized Issue of $2,000,000 and are se
cured by a deposit of un equal amount of Mahoning and Hhcnungo Rail
way and Light Company 7 per cent prefened stock and all of tho common
stock, and are further guaranteed as to principal and Interest by Indorse
ment by the Mahoning and Shenango Hallway und Light Company.
This Is tho second tlnio tho Republic Railway and Light Company
hss( Issued notes, tho first. having been paid at maturity, and tho second
Issue having been retired at a premium two years before maturity
. through tho salo of a part of the collateral securing it.
Tho earnings of tho company for tho car ended November 30, 1917,
were mora than seven times tho annual Interest charge on theso notes
bow being offered.
Among tho most attractive features of theso notes, which aro bcjng
'" offered at 96?, to yield S per cent Interest, ls that' the company agrees
to pay Interest without deduction for the normal Tcdcral Income tax so
long as It may bo legal to do so, and also to refund tho Pennsylvania
Btatc tax to residents of this State who will submit proofs of pajment.
Tho Republic Railway and Light Company supplies electric railway,
gas, steam heat, electric light and power to Youngstown, O.; Sharon and
New Castle, Pa., and tho adjacent territory, with a rapidly increasing
population, now estimated at 230,000.
Early Relief Expected in the Coal Situation
' Whatever weakness thero was ln the railroad and Industrial securities
during tho. present week lias been httrlbuted to the coal situation und
tho wostern blizzards, which havo fradly crippled tho already super
congested transportation lines.
In the early stages of tho fuel relief system perhaps too much was
expected, but thcrojs now good reason to bellevo that with a return to
ormal weather conditions ln a few dajs tho present stress will dlsappcai.
The rumor of Tcdernl restriction extending to a differentiation of
certain Industries into essential und nonessential, in order to securo tho
coal necessary for domestic purposes, hnd the effect, It was snld, of
acting as a brake on speculative dealing, for If such an order should go
Into effect it would certainly curtail tho output and thcreforo the profits
f many Industries. i

Departure of Delaware Units
Disrupts Camp Or

DIVlStON. Camp McCIeltan, Annls
ton, Ala., Jan. 1 0.
There are rreat gaps In the ranks of
the Blue and Clray Division, far a time
nearly fillad to full war strength. The
1600 Delaware troops who came here
several months ago and who were dis
tributed through various organizations'
In camp ns well as rounding out a full
battalion In the 114th Infantry, hare
left hero to b formed Into a rtrlment
of pioneers. How their playes are to be
filled Is not known. It Is considered Try

camps ift uere men are uvniiRDie iur auuu
transfer. It may bo that, the completion
of the division personnel will b delayed
pending the calling of fresh quotas of
the select men.
The effectiveness of the division's
elaborate system of Instruction Is In a.
measure crippled by the withdrawal of
thA Delaware, froons. The nni immove
j seems to havo been to keep the Del-
awareans together as an Individual unit
and to do this the work of weeks and
months of patient, up-hill work toward
the training of this division haa been
seriously sacrificed.
New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia
had their troops torn to pieces and
spread out In various units and It 13 at
their expense that the Delaware troops
are being withdrawn from here.
The fate of the National Guard officers,
of the division has been placed more .
completely In the hands of the regular
army and National Army officers
through the appointment of one colonel
and two lieutenant colonels to form an
other efficiency board, thus replacinr
one upon which tho National Guard had
representatlon. The new board consists ,
of Colonel Frederick C. Htrltrlnger, com-
manning ine i inn intantry: Lieutenant
IColonel W. S. Wood, attached to the
,112th Heavy rleld Artillery, and Lleu-
tenant C!onel N. 11. Behkopf. They re-
place Oolonql Kdwnrd K. Goodwyn. of
Virginia, and Lieutenant Colonel Wil
liam U. Martin, of New Jersey. Tills
board, like the other one named about
two weeks agoot three National Army
colonels, will consider rases involving tho
efficiency or the officers of the division
and will have almost unlimited power ln
Its recommendations.

I been discontented because of the belief
(hat a certain element ln the Govern
ment was favorable to territorial con
quest In the war. The friction between
the Gov ernment nnd organized labor has
been very great at times and nn open
break has been nverted on occasion by
the scantiest ot margins.
The fact that the declaration was made
with the sanction or the Government con
clusively shows, officials pointed out,
that if further Imperialistic ideas .were
held by any British official, they now
have been definitely abandoned. And
British labor as represented In yester
day's statement, and American labor as
represented In Samuel Compere's cable
gram, ha? made plain to Germany's labor I
nosts mat militarism anu autocracy
alone are responsible for the continua
tion of the war. It Is this fact, officials
said, that leads them to the hope that
when the military dictatorship has been
tried In Oermany, as seems inevitable,
and falls, ns also seems certain, German
workers will force a peace en demo
crats lines. That Is the sola reason,
officials say. that the British labor ap
peal waa wound up In the following I
language:
"Peoples of Central Europe: This
catastrophe ot the humvn race, this fatal
schism In tho civilized world, can only
be ended by the defeat ot militarism
on both sides and by the victory on
both sides of moral and Intellectual fair
dealing. If the world Is to be saved.
It must be saved by good faith and
reciprocity on the part of all. Do not
fall us now. po not let your Govern
ments drive the British people as they
are driving the Russtin people Into the
terrible choice, between continuing the
war and abandoning the only principles
hat can save, the world. If this choice
Is forced upon us. we. shall ..choose aa

Relief to Freight Jmm
C tattooed from race ' Q
port of New York, and we are fre. from
many of Its undesirable thing. We are
working out a project for a thltty-Rra-foot
channel here. but. as lt is. we hTe
a thirty-foot channel at man low water.
We have a six-foot range of tide which
brings the channel up to thirty-sir feet
at high water. This would float any
vessel that I know of that Is now ply
Ings between the United States and the
countries of our allies.
"All of our piers are either equipped
or could be equipped with railroad sid
ings connecting, with the belt line In
Delaware avenue. This In' turn connects
with the three trunk lines running Into
the city. This does away with all tie
cesslty of llghterinrand. in Itself, would
save the Government from thirty cents
to a dollar on each ton of freight
handled.
In New York, the railroad terminals.
In tho majority of cases, are far from
th loading piers. This necessitates the
paying or lighterage, as nn added cost
to the Government. Practically every
Piece of tonnage shipped through New
York must be lightered from the railroad
terminals to the ship on which It is to
e rarrieu to Kurope.
"Philadelphia la 180 miles from tho
open sea. while New York Is only fifteen
miles. But this again gives us tho ad
Vantage. It brings us farther Into the
Interior and Just that much closer to
the source of manufacture or supply.
Philadelphia Is ninety mites closer to the
West than New York and It is from the
West that our war aulmlles orb mmln.
This not only delays hauling the loaded
ears, but the aunties must he hrmielic
back that extra distance. And, under
present conditions, the freight delay be
tween here and New York Is a matter
of fivo or more days. Besides, hauling
ny water Is cheaper than by rail and
the Government has this added con on
me ninety miles to Now York.
"Our piers here are the equal of any
In tho world. They have every facility
for the expeditious handling of freight.
Here wo can run the freight cars right
out alongside the vessel, unload from the
cars Into tho hatches and send the
empties aay. Tills gives the least
hnndllng possible."
WAREHOUSES LACKING
Mr Hasskarl then went Into the mat
ter of warehouse. In this he Is ex
ceptionally well Informed, having made
several trips to Kurope to study port
conditions In various countries. II
has been connected with the Department
of Wharves. Docks and Ferries slnco Its
creation In 1307 and served a term aa
Its had. Beforo entering the city serv
Ico he was chief civilian engineer con
nected with the army In this district
"In Hurope," he pointed out, "they
have given careful consideration to the
warehouses. Here we have not. Kverv
' nort thero has n'mnle uurehmme hiupa
to meet any contingency. I have tried
to drill this Into Philadelphia, but have
not succeeded. We have warehouses
here, but not enough for an emergency.
"This Is being proved now. The piers
are being used ln place of buildings
ashore for storage of freight. This
should not be. but lt Is better to store
the goods on the piers than to keep
freight cars Idle by using them for
storage.
However, this storage would not
hinder tho handling of freight here. All
the'stored freight Is waiting for bottoms
to take lt abroad. If Jhy send me the
ships, It w 111 bo gotten out in good' shape
and there will be room for more. We
can handle hero In Philadelphia alt the
export freight they can send us."
Mr. Hasskarl said that tha local port
Is well equipped to handle grain and
ore. For the former there ! a 1.000,000-
buahtl elevator at Fort iuenmona a
bushel elevator at Tort Blchmond and
' sinothtr of 2.000.000-bushcI capacity In
ine acnuyiKiu at uirraru ruim.
A ntriklnr evidence of the Govern-
niii'i fAllur to send shins to the local
port Is the great number of motortrucks

standing In Dolaware avenue for the

Without so much aa a tarpaulin over

from fifty to flfty-flvo cents an hour
has not proved effective bait.
Mr. Hasskarl attributes the shortage
of labor along the river front to the
high wages paid at Bristol. Hog Island,
Cramp's and other shipbuilding estab
lishments. Investigation shows thero Is virtu
ally no organization among the long
shoremen of Philadelphia. There are '.wo
or three organizations of various sorts
among them, but thero has been no
concerted organisation.
Two organisers from the International
longshoremen's Union affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor are
expected In the city today or tomorrow.
They are coming to help, the Govern
ment by getting theso men together
and showing them their duty of stand
ing by the Government. They will spend
two or three days In Investigation of
conditions beforo making a report.
Their coming Is looked to as a means
.
men to handle freight
sent through
the local port.
W. H. II. Willis, division freight
agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
has Instituted a thorough canvass of
tho Philadelphia district to find out
how many consignees have freight ln
cars, in the yards or on station plat
forms. More than COO Individual cases
have been canvassed. In each case the
receiver ot the freight has been urged
to get his goods out of the way as
quickly as possible so as to leave room
for more Incoming goods. The consignees
are being elven copies of Secretary
