Washington, May 10—Members

several southard bankcTs, who re
turned to Washington today from
the conference in New York yester
day with prominent bankers of that

ment for exporting the 1920 carry-

selves as satisfied that the direct
result of the conference would be
the early sale abroad and exporta

new held in southern warehouses,
wijh a corresponding resumption of
the spindle industry to so absorb the
*P*nly that the coming cotton crop
will stand upon its normal footing
in the markets of the world. In the
understandings tentatively agreed
upon the War Finance corporation
agreed to assist materially In ttie
financing.
“Stress was laid by the bankers
on the fact that their diacussion had
centered on detail under which ad
vances would he mailo to exporters
for future delivery of cotton. An
other angle waa relief for the banks
of the south and of the spot markets
for cotton paper, which has accu
mulated during the period of de
pression. A third point was the dis

FORD AIMING TO
FLIVVERIZE R. R’S
Finds Too Much Dead
Weight And Up
keep
DETROIT, Miy 11—Henry
•Ford, world’s master mqchanlc, is
working to cut tho nation's trans
portation costs in half.
Railroad men arc eagerly waiting
to see what he offers, for Ford has
a way of solving mechanical und or-
ganization problems that have bat
tled tho wisest men of the genera,
tlon.
“Tho troublo with the railroads is
that they arc spending far too much
for upkeep,” wns Ford’s diagnosis of
their disease.
He went out and bought two loco
motives. He’s tearing them apart
now in his experimental laboratories
at Dearborn, Mich.
Ho'a seeing just wherein they are
so licuvy and cumbersome. '
“There'll too much dead weight in
tho world,”‘lie says. ”[ sec no rea
son why ir-fecomulM 1 ' xh'buld Im 200
tons in weight instead of 100 tons.
“And thcro’s no reason why
weight of freight and passenger car
should not bo halved.”
In a word. Ford plans to "jitney-
izo” tho railways.
Lighter engines, cais, roadbeds,
bridges—with correspondingly light-'
er costs of operation anil upkeep—
those arc Ills aims.
If Ford brings tlicso tilings
pass it means that railrouda
built in months instead
Freight rates and passci
will bo cheaper.
Thus every commodity ,
cd by the railroads will bo cheaper.
Tho business of the country will
have to be reorganized.
Ford docs not proposo to Abolish
the steam cnglno in favor of tho
gas-drlvon railway ear. K'o plans
to co-ordinate tho two.
He recently purchased tho Detroit,
Toledo and Ironton. a 600-mlIc rail
way. That road offers tho materi
al for his experiments.
\He ban built “The Dearborn,” n
gas-driven passenger coach. It's n
street cor without a trolley.
Weighin'- half as much as ordi
nary electric car, it holds tho rails
while rounding a curve at 65 miles
an hour. The total weight of the
car is 11 3-4 tons.
Ford believes the gas-driven cars
should be used for passenger service,
long and short runs. BUam-propetl-
ed trains would be used for freight.
If (lie scores of long transconti
nental ‘passenger trains were replac
ed with individual cars it would
