Write Out a Want Ad NOW—Phone M. 100 or Atlanta 8000 and Let’s Get Busy )k=: JX By B. C. FORBES. President Wilson is now willing to listen to financial reason. The Wash ington dispatches that he granted a 30-minute interview with James Speyer, the international banker, have been accepted as an encourag ing omen, for heretofore the door of the White House had been regarded as closed to any citizen identified with Wall street. • • • Mr. Speyer is one of the most level headed, democratic, broad-minded financiers America can boast. His sympathies are not confined to high finance. He takes a broad-gauge, long-range view of economic prob lems. To him workers are not mere animated machines, mere automa tons. They are human beings, cast in the same mould as himself. He is active in charities and in organiza tions that deal with the unemployed. • • * It is to be presumed, therefore, that in his talk with the President, Mr. Speyer did not fail to emphasize the need for straining every effort to stem the onrushing tide of un employment. 1 discussed this phase of the sftuation with Mr. Speyer re cently, and I know he regards it ai most important and as demanding the most serious consideration. As a director of concerns employing many thousands of men. Mr. Speyer naturally has first-hand knowledge of industrial conditions. • • * Mr. Speyer is even more intimate ly identified with railroad systems. None knows better than he the plight into which the railroads are sinking. It is believed—and hoped—in finan cial circles that Mr. Speyer could not have neglected the opportunity to impress upon the administration the actual railroad status to-day and the outlook for to-morrow if things continue in their present direction. * * * Henry Walters, financier and rail road authority, recently remarked to a friend. I am told, that there were 28 railroads, big and little, which would fall into receivers’ hands were nothing done to stop the current trend. He had the names of the 28 at the tip of his tongue. • ■* • Last week I made a public plea to the Interstate. Commerce Commission to forego part of their holidaying, take off their coats and get to busi ness in dealing with the Eastern railroads’ request for higher freight rates. I would repeat that exhorta tion with even greater earnestness now. The prevailing uncertainty is paralyzing. It should not be pro longed one unnecessary day. Con ditions are unhappy enough without needlessly aggravating them by a dilly-dallying, what’s-the-hurry pol icy in so grave and pressing a mat ter. • * • Aren't a revolutionary new tariff arid an impending new currency law unsettling influences enough for the present? Why pile on the agony by gratuitous acts of omission or com mission? • • * If the entente cordiale could only be firmly established between those who employ men and those who are running the Government, a return of confidence would be greatly has tened. * * * Unfortunately, the Treasury De partment is at loggerheads with banking interests and has followed a policy that has evoked widespread criticism. The intimation that whole sale, eountn 7 -wide prosecution of bankers is being planned by Treasury officials is construed as a fresh Indi cation of the relations between the department and those who manage the banking business of the land. So long as a spirit of hostility exists, the possibilities of an unsettling rupture will not be dismissed from mind. * * * May it not be that F’resident Wil son will take a hand in smoothing out existing wrinkles In the general situation? The financial community has more faith in him than in the majority of his Cabinet. • * * Even a rumor that real heavy weights would be chosen as mem bers of the Federal Reserve Board, the overlords of the nation’s new- banking system, was accepted grate fully by financial circles yesterday. The rumor, however, was very thin. It named James J. Hill as prospec tive chairman of the board. Mr. Hill months ago declared he would NOT accept a position on the board. Paul M. Warburg was given as another selection. Mr Warburg told me yes- ! terday afternoon that the news was j news to him—that, indeed, he didn't believe it was news, only talk. • * * If the Government could induce men of Mr. Warburg s caliber to join the Federal Reserve Board, even If for only the first year, our national bankers would lose much, if not all, of their nervousness over the admin istration of the new system.

Ga.. one of the largest spinners of tin* State, while here last week, told his friends that the world would be surprised to s« # what a small amount of cotton yet remains to be ginned In the Eastern belt. Mr. Barry, besides being engaged in the mill business, operates a number of cotton gins. • • • NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 22.-Hayward & ('lark: “The weather map shows fair in the Tennessee mountains and North Carolina; cloudy In the rest of the belt; snowing In Oklahoma and rain ing over most of Texas; general precip itation in t lie Western and Central States “ * * * M. F Bachman & Co say: “After a decline of f %c per pound, a reaction should be in order, but we do not look for a permanent advance until the gen j era I business outlook becomes better. j “It is evident that the position of cotton, which is bullish, has nothing to ! do with the decline. Tne depression in j other lines and the uncertainty as to J the effect of new legislation upon the business of the country Is the real cause of the weakness in the staple. News from Boston that yarns were in very poor demand and that mills were buying only from hand to mouth came at a time when a reaction looked prob able The effect on the market was dis couraging.” * * * Blundell, of Liverpool, cables: “Think decline over; spinners big buyers.’’ The local spot market is reported quiet. There is a good demand for the better grades, but little offering, lower grades are freely offered and about % of a cent lower (ft trade but even .i this concession spots are way above fu I tures. 1 F’resident Vail says that the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph and West ern Union have been maintained as sep arate corporations and their dissolution does not Involve any reorganization of the Western Union. Interchange of fa cilities are to be continued. • * * Steel business continues light. • • • G. D. Potter says: “The stock mar ket holds the advance of last week well and has every appearance of going higher. The large interests have been consistent buyers, believing that the passage of the currency bill means In flation and an appreciation in values.
