GOSSIP OF THE STREET
BALDWIN LOCOMOTIVE REPORT
LEADING TOPIC AMONG BANKERS
No Scrious.Disappointmcnt, Apparently, Over the Fail
ure to Declare Dividend on Common Stock.
Gossip of the Street
tTUlU Baldwin Locomotive Works report for 1918 won possibly the lead-
Intr.toplo of discussion In the financial district yesterday. Tlio failure
to declare a dividend on the common stock, which was foreshadowed In
this column a few days ago, was tho subject of many remarks, some of
which It Is not necessary to repeat. There did not, however, seem to b
any serious disappointment, and many brokers contented themselves by
nlng that perhaps, after all, the directors had done a wlso thing.
Among the bills which. It I? reported, will likely be held up In order
to forco an early calling of Congress Is the $760,000,000 relief bill for the
railroads. When discussing this matter a banker whoso Interest In rall
loads is well known said It soe.ned to him as though the condition of
Ihe roads was more mixed up than ever and wus becoming more and
more complicated each day. Now that the revolvlnc tund has been
exhausted, he said, If this $750,000,000 bill Is not passed during tho present
session there Is not sufficient money avaltablo to operato tho roads until
tho next session, unless the Treasury Department in some manner comes
to the relief.
Ai It Is, he continued, the roads are now belnpr operated nt a loss
of $60,000,000 a month. Today the government owes the ro.ids close to
$400,000,000, he said, and the Impression Is general that tho present Con
gress will adjourn without passing: any legislation cither Riving relief
or returning the roads to tho private owners.
Strong Governmental Control for Railroads
Asked what he considered would be tho ultimate solution of the,
problem, the hanker said he always favored a solution based on the
idea nnderlvlng the Federal Itcfecrvo Hnrjk hystcm, leaving tho roads In
the possession of the security holders, with a strong governmental control
and a regional system, and perhaps a modified guarantoo of Inromo re
turn for the stockholders. He said that as far as his observation had
gone, In all tho proposed solutlonsof the railroad situation thcret was
too little attention paid to tho rights of tho shipper, who In the last
anal.vsU "pays tho freight." Tho only way to protect this class Is
through a strong governmental control, exercised by men who would
be drawn from tho ranks of finance, railroad experts and tho shippers
themselves, and of course there must bo a labor representation as well.
To work out such a proposition, ho said, would require a longer time
than would elapse before tho date set for tho return of tho railroads, but
the subject Is one of Buch Importance to' the whole community that any
objection on that point should be swept abide.
A dlspBtch from Washington on the subject bays: ,
"Tho Senate appropriations committee Is about to make u fuvorablo
report on tho bill to appropriate $7D0,000,000 additional for tho railroad
revolving fund. The bill has already pasted the House.
"It Is possible tho Senate will add to It Senator Cutnmlns's proposi
tion to remove from tho present law tho power of the President to return
tho roads to their owners by his discretion and lodge that power in Con
gress. In that easo tho bill would have to go to conference.
"President Wilson hai declared his Intention not to call an extra
etaslon before his return from France, which may bo as lato ns June,
"Just what the railroad administration would do with tho present
revolving fund, virtually exhausted and no additional appropriation be
foro June, in an extremely grave question,
"Henco an effort will bo mado to forco this appropriation through
beforo tho adjournment Tuesday despite tho fact that noma Senators
would like, by refusing it, to compel an early return of tho roads to their
owners."
