It had been clearly demonstrated that the representatives of the peoplo of this country will not stand for Article X. The stubbornness of the president in refusing to accept en- dorsement by the senate of the league covenant without Article X defeated the treaty. “Now Mr. Cox Article X and declares that as chief exeentive he would not approve tha league without it. That means that with Mr. Cox we shall get no league, for even i! the democrats _elected every senatorial candidate which they have in the field, thy would not have enough to carry the league without reservations. “Harding on the other hand has already voted twice for the league with reservations and promises that as president he will accept the cov« nant without Article X or a similar international agreement limiting arm- aments, provide a court of arbitra- tion and a conference for discrssion of 1 cases.

GIVING PASSES New Haven, Oct. 11.—Stockholders of the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford Railroad company met here this { afternoon in special meeting to act upon three financial propositions: First, an issue of bonds for fund- ing or refunding of indebtedness and the securing of the same by mort- gage; second. an issue of equipment notes or debentures, and third, in the matter of extending the term of the loan to be obtained from the United States from five to 15 years. Directors Advise Approval. The directars had recommended ap- proval of these propositions and President E. J. Pearson, in a letter, had explained the conditions which | have made necessary action by the stockholders. In the matter aof a mortgage President Pearson pointed out that the road has never had a | ®eneral mortgage upon its propert: but it is now purposed to have a suit- { able mortzage to protect all bonds, notes and other evidences of indebted- ness previously issued. The amount of the praposed mortgage would cover $66,000,000 of indebtedness as well as the bonds to secure such amounts as the government will loan the company under the vote of the annual meeting last April. The exact amount of the bond issue is not fixed, but a maxi mum will be set. The directors’ opin- { ion was that the mortgage is a good { method in which to refloat the float- ing debt for a period up to 10 years. Largely Attended Meecting. The meeting was largely attended by stockholders President Pearson at the outset made a general statement concerning the road’s affairs and the object of the mortgage. He then was followed by Vice-President Buckland, who gave an analysis of the financial condifion. The present indebtedness { i $292,278,000, which is an increase af $23,325,000 over that which the present management took over in 1 1913. Mr. Buckland stated that the | road’s business is growing and it is ! a big problem to keep up development | \With the demand made upon the prop- that in order (o the company’s:indebtedness to the United States governmept in- curred during the period of govern- ment control, the director-general re- quires a bond igsue to be secured by a first and refurMing mortgage. A suit- able mortgage has been prepared and will secure on a parity all evidences of indebtedness. The president outlined the nature of the mortgage, and the government is expected tp accept a note of 36;.000.000 due it by the com- pany to run for 10 years to be secured by $80,000,000 par value in bonds. Mr. Pearson also explained expen- ditures for equipment since spring, which have been altered somewhat than forecust at the annual meeting owing to conditions. Queries Mr. Buckland. After Mr. Buckland had gone into the finances of the company he was questioned at length by Hagop Bogig- ton. The answers were in 1 and then Mr. Bogigian acked about the Rhode Island trolle; Mr. Buckland said they cost $34,000,- 000 and were sold for $2,200, although the road has a note of $4,000,000 on which something may be realized. Mr. Bogigian asked if the Connecticut trolleys would ,be disposed of the same way, and Mr. Buckland said he hoped not, but at this time the future of that subsidiary property could not be forecast. . Mr. Bogigian asked about salarfes paid to officers, and whether the management was practicing economy. He =aid that rich people were turn- to‘get more wear out of them and it was to be hoped the railroad man- agement was tryving to save every cent possible. ‘Want More FEconomy, Maxcy Hiller, of New Haven, wanted- to offer a resolution provid- ing for a committee-—two directors and three stockholders—to investigate the total receipts and expenses of the { company in an effort to recommend to the stockholders and officers some measure gf retrenchment that will cnable the company to pay a divi- dend. President Pearson said the matter could not rightly come up at this time, and Mr. Hiller thought it ought to be considered in some form as a suggestion. A. After some discussion the matter | was dropped and Morris Spier of this { city, discus various matters lead- ing up to questions about emploves riding on passes on the property while on pleasure trips. He said that it {was not right for employ ride | them nd with their families at of the stockholders while were not receiving their investment.
