Conciliation With Labo -
NEW. YORK, April 12 - Haly
Fiske, president of Metropolitan Life
Insurance company and member of
th executive committee cf the National
Association of Owners of Railroad Se
curities, nformed A. H. Smith, presi
dent of New York Central Railroad
in a letter given out here today that
some railroads are making a mistake
in their attitude toward labor. It was
in reply to Mr. Smith’s letter to S.
Davies Warfieid, president of the asso
ciation, taking exception to the posi
tion of the association’s executive com-i
mittee in conferrng with representa
tives of railroad employes. .
“Your assumption.” Mr. Fiske wrote‘
“that in seeking a conference with the
labor representatives, the most im
portant element in the present prob
lem, we were pretending to represent |
you or your board, was quite unwar
}ranted. We very frankly put our reall
position before these organizations and |
{the public. We think the present
'truculent attitude of some railroad ad
'ministrations towards the off®ratives
‘and the unions a great mistake which
may lead to disaster and that it is
time that all concerned in the prop
erties should show some conciliatory
disposition at least to the extent of
endeavoring to get the point of view
of labor, to seek some method of ne
gotiation to end the present impasse.”
Mr. Fiske stated that the Metropol
itan Life Insurance Company holds
securities of the New York Central
Railroad and its subsidaries amount
ing to nearly $23,000,000 par value, In
addition, it has en its bad%s loans and
agreements to lend more than $9,-
000,000 on bonds and mortgages upon
real estate “to finance your opera
tions in the neighborhood of your ter
minal.” ]
“Although,” he added, “our finan
cial interest amounts to $32.000,000.
This is about 15 per cent of our total
investment in railroad securities,
& “Frankly it disturbs Js,” Mr. Fiske
added, “to have your board of direc
tirs say that they represent in their
'dealings with the present condition of
lafl‘airs the stockholder, without any
}recognition of the superior *obliga
'tions of the railroad companies. It
'may very well be that as matters are
‘now threatening, the stock will be-l
come a rather negligible quantity, the
| bonds will never become so. Our in-l
terest in your company is a vital one.
It is very disturbing to read that yvou
are disposed to ignore this interest.
It is even more disturbing to find
| yourself and the board resent any
"action on our part to protect our in
‘tcrcsts."

Saturday to come after the baby and
he left Fitzgerald with Charles Orser
Monday morning. Mr. and Mrs.
Burkhart and the baby came unex

| W.D. Smith of Nashville agent for

, !
;wth the Leader reporter that pros-
Ppects were exceptionally bright for.
a good tobacco market this year. Hc}
kstated that prices seemed to be on the‘
- upgrade. : |
| “There is no question about profit|
in tobacco raising if the farmers of|
this section will raise as good a grade
‘of tobacco as the soil permits,” said
Mr. Smitr. “Georgia soil has been
proven, during the six years I have
been working with tobacco in .it, to|
'be better adapted for a high grade!
bright tobacco than is the soil of thel
Carolinas.” .
Mr. Smith is optimistic over the'
outlook for a prosperous summer and
fall in this section. Good tobacco
crops will be raised throughout the
section and a normal amount of bus
iness is assured, he believes.
