operation of the voluntary system of
restricting non-essential capital ex
penditures under the administration of
the Federal Reserve Board's capital is
sues committee have demonstrated its
success, members of the committee de-
clard today. There has been no at
tempt to float large issues of securities
without the committee s approval.
Paul M. Warburg, chairman of th
capital issues committee, announced to
day that the securities regulation plan
has been recently indorsed by officers
of the Central States Banking Associa
tion, the Boston Chamber of Commerce,
and J. u. Keplogle, director of steel sup
ply for the War Induetries Board. Res
olutions of indorsement also are pend
ing before the Investment Bankers' As
sociation.
Mr. Replogle's letter to the committe
said:
"We are certainly In sympathy -with
Secretary McAdoo's aopeal for cessation
of building operations. We do not feci
that it would result in the hardships tn
labor as generally supposed, as many of
the most essential industries are run
ning with greatly reduced forces, and
wc believe labor would be diverted to
more important uses.
"As regards ths steel situation. I
would state that the supply of struc
tural steel is ample for all purposes.
but owing tq the curtailment of opera
tions of blast furnaces and steel mills.
due to shortage of fuel and inadequate
transportation, the pig-iron situation is
becoming acute.
"Many of the important mills of li
country. Includinsr the plato mills, are
having the greatest difficulty in secur
ing sufficient iron to keep their plants
operating. We personally think that
everything should be done to discour
age any stnic1-aiil work or unnecessary
work at the present time.
