GOSSIP OF THE STREE1
FINANCIERS SOUND WARNING
AGAINST
Shall We Take Heed From Great Britain's Ex
perience? Gossip of the Street
T.V Tin: opinion of many fliiniielois In this city who give moro than a
passim? thought to tho reonomlc conditions through which tho country
. has recently passed. Is now contending with nml which It must faco In
tho future, tho nntlon Ih approaching a condition similar to that which
obtains In Great litltnkt. and which Is 'contained in tho summary of- a
report nude to the Houco of Common after a long investigation Uy Us
commltteo cm national expenditures.
The repoit suvs: "High wages mean high price l'resh cycles of
jingo advances succeed cmo nnothcr. i:aeh one tcults In flintier In
creases In prices or In indenting a reduction in prlcis. Tho producers
nro raising prices against themselves ni consumer. Wo arc deeply
Impressed with tho seriousness of tho situation and aro convinced that
If tho process continues the result can hardly fall to ho ilKisiroua to
nil clnssos of tho nation. Tho wholo thing is a vicious tlrclo of rising
wages followed by rising prices."
An an nntldoto the report recommends, among other things, that:
Tho Go eminent should endeavor to avoid tho creation of new
credits In financing tho war,
Tho actual Increase In tho cost of living to tho working classes
should bo ascertained;
Troflts should ho limited. '
An udvnnco of wages should bo limited on any other ground than
tho Increased cost of living;
A single policy under the direction of ono authority should bo adopted
in all Industry in tho determination of tho wage question.
Tho all around Increase in wages of 10 per cent, says tho rcpott. and
iilmilar increases in the cost of commodities purcliased at homo has til
ready Involved an increase In n atonal expenditure of fl30.000.00u (about
J6JO.000.000) jcarlj.
Ono of tho most Important cantos of the Increase of expenditure. sa)n
tho committee, has been the expansion of cicdlts. If It had been possible
to finance tho war, It sa)s, from day to daj by means entirely of taxa
tion and loans from tho savings of tho people, tho general Incrcaso In
prices would hae been considerably less than It Is.
There Is a cry valuable lesson for tho peoplo ot tho United States
contained In this report, and not tho least Important Is tho last part
referring to tho savings of tho people, which. If Ubcd toward defraying
tho expenses of tho war and If contributed In tho largest meast-ro pos
Bible toward that end, will hao tho effect not only of keeping down
prices, but will servo In the highest degico toward mitigating the burden
of tho war.
Tho war-savings stamps, which can now bo had by any person with
out leaving tho block In which ho lives, is a plan which bankers and
other financiers bellovo should bo pushtd to tho limit In this connection
Home nro of tho opinion that even ot, If some such plan as tho Kugllsh
club plan for small cavlngs could bo Introduced In connection with tho
war stomps, especially In tho rural communities, where the community
Interest Is moro pronounced and whero a healthy rivalry could bo en
gendered among these savings clubs, it would havo a wondeiful effect.
Investment Bankers of New Financing
l'ollowlng tho recommendations of tho commltteo of bankers headed
by Thomas W. I.amont, of J l Morgan & Co, which recently held a
conferenco to discuss the proper urtlon to bo tnken In tho matter of new
financing, comes tho report of a special commltteo, headed by Allen IJ.
l'orbcs, which was appointed at tho last annual convention of tho
American Investment Bankers' Association in Baltimore. This report
recommends tho appointment of a board to pass on all Issues of securities,
"In order that nonessential financing may ho curtailed and essential
financing accomplished, so that Industry and llnaneo may bo maintained
on as well organized and norm il bals as Is practicable under tho
chnnglng general conditions" -
Tho commltteo staled that In u acncr.il survey of tho situation It
appears that In regard to coi potato financing much lias been nml will
contlnuo to be neglected through tho icgulatoiy and restrictive power of
tho securities market, and that la respect to State and municipal financing
much can bo nccompllsho.1 through otllclal ptoclamation. The commltteo
also recommends that no offerings of any class of secutltlcs will bo
mado nt a time to Interfere with thu Ooveinment's Liberty Loan cam
paigns. On tho whole, tho report of tho commltteo cotiesponds with tho
plans drawn up recently by tho Federal lleservo Board at Washington
to effect tho regulation of new financing by voluntary action, coupled
with moral suasion, lather than any leglslatlvo action. I'oi so far
this sentiment has been equally powerful to any legislation and thero Is
no reason, Judging by tho prevailing sentiment among bankers, for think
ing that It Is weakening.
Who Is the Goat Garfield or I. C. C?
There Is always moro or less discussion going on as to whero tho
blamo should bo laid for tho drastic Clarflcld fuel order.
Many contend that tho fault Is with tho Intersjato Commerco Commis
sion, and this is followed up by tho usual Invcctlvo on tho heads of that
rightly or wrongly much abused body. "The tallroads wcro throttled and
had no chauco to got money to mako tho needed extensions and Im
) provements which they wanted, and now look at tho consequences" Is
tho usual form of denunciation. But it is common knowledge that tho
management of many roads gave tho general public enough cause to
bollcvo that all tho fault did not rest with the Interstate Commerco Com
' mission. Indeed, thero wcro revelations of gros mismanagement, both
financial nnd otherwise, which were brought to light In tho several rail
road investigation which have taken pinto In tho last ten ears, that
went far to show that such a controlling body as tho Interstate Com
merco Commission was an absoluto neccssltj. And It is still an open qttes.
tlon whether or not under normal conditions tho operation of tho coin-
mission would not havo worked out all right.
To como light down to facts, tho tallroads vvtro in h wonderfully
f prosperous condition for somo time before they wcro placed under Govern-
ment control. They wero doing business on a scalo which beforo tho war
) would havo been considered impossible. Tor tho seven months ended
f, October 31, last, tho number of revenue-earning tons of freight per mllo
l' increased 27,000,000,000 or 12.6 per cent compared with a similar period
ifor tho previous year. '
It Is said tho showing would havo been much better but for tho multi
tude of priority orders, which Issued by nil manner of oinclals, Instead of
being under ono directing head, only served to confuse traffic move
ments and to a great extent caused tho present wasteful congestion.
All Signs Fail on Stocks
Tho saving that "all signs fall in drj weather" Is applicable In a way
at present to the Btock markot, as all picvlous bases on which to found
prognostications havo failed. This is especially tho caso slnco tho fuel
director's edict went Into effect. I'rom tho v lew-point of prospective earn
ings, according to nil precedents, prices should sell off. as it could not
bo expected that lost days' earnings could bo mado up in tho case of many
Industrial corporations. But strange to say, such stocks havo not gone
down to any extent. In looking around for tho reasons for such a con
dltlqn, it is found that opinions aro about equally divided, somo attribut
ing it to a short IntcrcSt which they bellevo Is tho power which Is stnblllz
lng quotations, while Just as many assert that tho "big interests" In New
York aro responsible.
Dradsireet's Says:
Under tho circumstances It is obvious that tho week has been matkod
by considerable unsettlement, but after tho first shock it is quite generally
recognized that tho fuel administrator's order, whllo drastic, was lm
peratlvely necessary, nnd tho general tendency Is one of patriotic obedi
ence to the mandates of tho order. In fact, local administrators at many
of tho larger Industrial centers, knowing full well thnt numerous plants
had heen compelled to close down for want of fuel, had already .adopted
expedients to conseno buppllcs, tho Iron and steel Industry having been
particularly beset

This It Is believed is the situation
which actually confronted the railroads
under the war board management when

unsatisfactory, and under Director Gen

Therefore, tho gorge being formed nt
New York, whether due to Incompetent
generalship or not, the argument seems
to have been that relict could bo secured
only by holding back an) further pres

Investigation of conditions in tho port of Philadelphia lin:. shown
thnt tho United States Government authorities tospoiiMble foi "liipiiinK
munitions nnd war supplies to Europe hnve not used tho facilities of
this port to capacity.
Authorities on conditions m eastern seopoi ts of the United States
hnve agreed that the enstcrn freight tunilc could have been largely
avoided or relieved by the use of the pott f I'hilndclph'ii.
Mayor Smith haR ordered Dnector Webster, of tho Department of
Wharves, Docks und Ferries, to tnVe nction to have the port of Phila
delphia used for the telicf of the freight conditions and to get supplies
to the United States troops in France.
It has been shown that by shipping through Philadelphia, with its
facilities for quick bundling, the progressive demmrage clinrgea which
go into effect today could be avoided.
The following is a composite compnilson of thu ports of New York
and Philadelphia ns assembled from Interviews given by leading authori
