New York Stock Market BY W. S. COUSINS Newly York, N. S. May Financial 12-Railroad Editor) stocks made the best records in an irreg.

ular stock market today. The prompt settlement of the British strike was responsible for some hurried covering of the shorts in the early period, but beyond that it could hardly be considered as an important market factor. Bearish traders promptly resumed their attacks against the motor stocks, some of which were depressed three points or more from the opening prices. Both the speculative and the vestment railroad stocks were in demand today, though the most liberal buying WAS in the stocks of the "Southwest Merger" group. New York Central and Atchison were the most active in the investment list.

With the exception of General Motors, which was held in on the prospect of an extra cash dividend tomorrow. the motor stocks were the most reactionary in the whole market. The oil stocks maintained a firm tone in a smaller volume of trading. while sugar, copper and equipment stocks were steady and also inactive. Closing Prices Allis Chal.

K. K. K. K. PEACE NEAR ON RAILROADS OF THE NATION Such Is Belief of Rail Heads, Union Men and Others.

BY GEORGE R. HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent.) Washington, May Industrial peace on American railroads is nearer today than it has ever been.

This represents the belief of railway executives, the heads of ized labor, and. a majority of both houses of congress who joined in passing the Watson-Parker bill, which gives what both the carriers and the unions wanted in the way of railroad legislation. President Coolidge is expected to attach his signature to it within a few days. Death of Labor Board. The scratch of his pen sounds the death knell of the railway labor, board, created by the transportation act of 1920, which was a piece sot legislation that both the roads and the unions flouted at will.

"We have given them what they wanted; now it is up to them to keep the peace." This was the spirit that animated congress in passing the bill, and President Coolidge has taken the same attitude in approving it. In place of the railway labor board, which has been generally knocked about and disregarded in the six years of its life, there is set up in the Watson-Parker bill a new system of settling railway labor disputes- -the parenthood of which is jointly acknowledged by the, unions and the carriers. Regional boards of mediation and review, composed of employes and employers, will settle regional putes as to wages and working tions. Above these regional boards is a presidential board of five members, not affiliated with either the roads or the unions, who can intervene at the request of either party, or upon its own motion when a dispute gets beyond the regional boards. It both sides agree to arbitration, the judgment of such an arbitration body shall be filed in the nearest tederal court, and become the judgment of such court, binding alike on both parties.

"Emergency Board." Over and above all these, there is created a virtual "supreme court" to be appointed by the president and be known 88 the "emergency board," which will make a thirty-days' tigation into any dispute that threatens to result in a strike. During this thirty days there can be no strike on the part of the men, nor a lockout by the roads. Somewhere along this laborious route, the sponsors of the new plan believe that a basis of peace can be found before things actually reach the strike stage.
