New Zealand Labor Legislation.

An interesting summary OF indus
trial legislation passed by the New
Zealand parliament in its last session
Of 1918 has been supplied officially
by an officer of the labor department
to the Auckland Weekly News.
The arbitration court has been given
power on the application of any party
to an existing award or industrial
agreement to amend that award or
agreement with regard to wages and
hours, on account Of the cost Of living
having increased, or on account OF
any other change in the working con-
ditions. It has also been given juris-
diction to continue any war bonus
prescribed in an award or industrial
agreement, either wholly or partially
and for any term that 1t thinks fit.
Returned soldiers, who were appren-
tices working under awards and agree
ments, have been given the option OF
continuing their apprenticeships from
the point at which they laid them
down to enlist, or Of taking up the
apprenticeship again as though the
apprenticeship had been continued
while they were on active service.

CONDITIONS OF
FEMALE LABOR
Belief That War Brought Indus
trial Advantage to Sex
Not Justified.
new PUODLEMSAND DANGERS
One Of Them Is the Inevitable In
creased Pressure on Wages, Already
Here-DifficuIties in the Way of
Proper Organization of Women.

In spite of the popular belief to the
contrary, war has not brought indus
trial advantages to women workers IN
this country; instead, 1t has brought
new problems and dangers. Tempo
rary high wages in war industries nave
ceased; women discharged from NUM-
ton and gas mask factories, where
they earned $40 or $25 a week, are re-
luctantly taking positions at SlO or
$12, if, indeed, they are reinStated In
their old places at all. In ordinary
peacetime occupations, such as laundry
work and paper box making, wages
have risen little, despite the Increase
in the cost of living. With the men re-
turning from the army, female labor IS
bound to flow back increasingly INTO
those old occupations, thus putting IN
creased pressure on wages, declares
Nation.
The employer Of women today is IN
a large proportion of cases heavily sub
sidized; for there is cOnsiderable
gap between the 50 a week that is pald
to q girl and her actual cost of main
tenance. Who makes up the differ
ence? In the employers mind, it Is
usually the girls family-which is
often mythical. One Baltimore EN-
ployer remarked naively to an investl-
gator: "That is the beauty of our
Baltimore situation; they all live at
home and so can live much more cheap
ly." Living at home, however, does
not necessarily mean that girl re-
ceiveS financial aid; more often II
means that she gives it. Where she IS
inadequately paid it usually signifies
little more than that she has com
panionS in poverty.
The employers feeling toward the
woman employee as one who has not
emerged from the family group Is un-
fortunately shared in many cases by
the worker herself, and her feeling
hinders organization. OF course, there
have been instances in which women
have been effectively organized; IN the
garment trades of New York, for ex-
ample, $4,000 girls, after strike OF
only two or three days, were granted a
forty-four hour week and all their
other demands. But, broadly speak
ing, for some reason or another, organ
ization Of women workers has not at
tanned a high degree Of success. This
may simply be the result Of inexperl-
ence on the part Of the female work
ers In effective methods Of co-opera'
ton. Certainly the method which has
been effective in maintaining the
wages of special groups Of men has
had little influence on the pay or
women.

Scientists AS Cattle Food

Investigations Of seaweed with refer
ence to the possibility of using certain
species as food for cattle have recently
been carried on at the Royal Agricu!-
tural Station for the Control of Cattle
Food at Wageningen, Holland, says
"The Scientific American. The general
conclusion reached is that. in the abb
sence of other roughages, seaweeds
may be fed to cattle, when the sodium
chloride has been sufficiently removed.
In Ireland, Scotland and the Farce ISL
ands dried seaweed is used as a winter
feed for cattle and horses. In South
ern Sweden it is fed to swine. In Ger
many, during the war, special nstruc-
tons were issued concerning the gath
erlng and preparation of seaweed for
use as fodder. The weed was to be
spread out so that the rain could wash
out the sodium chloride; then dried
and baled in a press.

Investment Issues

Ordinarily bull markets manifest
themselves first in higher prices for
good bonds and investment stocks. The
present one has ignored precedents in
this respect as we'll as in other re-
spects. We predict that it will soon
repair some of these discrepancies and
especially that the prices of preferred
stocks and bonds will advance very
materially in the next few weeks and
months. 1t may be, in fact, that good
preferred stocks and bonds will not
only be the safest but will prove to
be the best speculative purchases for
the next few months. The prices of
investment securities have been
stronger during the last few days than
they have been for over year. We
think that most speculative accounts
should now carry a large proportion
of investment securities. We, of course,
expect lower money rates in the near
future, or we would not favor the pur-
chase of such ccurities.-Go Goodbody

The Markets
A Day for the Motors

There appears to be considerable
doubt now whether Judge Gary was
talking of the crops or of steel when
he predicted q Vecord production for
this year, but that doubt yesterday had
no visible effect on the stock market.
Steel common (now "X" on the tape
closed with net gain of Y point.
On top of Fridays advance, further
brilliant gains were made in shares
which had something to do with the
automobile trade, such as an increase
OF 6ha points in Chandler Motors on a
turnover of 1000 shares, as compared
with the addition of more than 13
points on Friday; an advance of 6A
in General Motors, Of 27s in Kelly
Springfield Tire, 22s in Maxwell Motors
first preferred, 3h in Pierce Arrow, 8
in Stromberg Carburetor, 5la in Stude-
baker, in StutT and Az in United
States Rubber. There were a few good
gains in other parts of the list, but the
motors and their accessories stood
apart. The prospects for the immedi-
ate future of the automobile companies
seem bright, but few professional
traders discuss the probable technical
position Of the motor stocks after such
a rise without reaction.

Rio de Janeiro
Sells SlO,O0O,O0O
Serial Bonds Here
Public Offering of Issue To
Be Made This Week; First
Important Foreign Finan-
cling Arranged Since 1917

The city of Rio de Janeiro, capital of
Brazil, has sold $4,000, 900 new per
cent serial bo nds TO Imbrie & Co.. New
York bankers. The bonds will be Of
fered for sale publicly this week.
This is the first important South
American financing arranged privately
since the United States entered the
war. The successful sale of these
bonds to American investors, it was
stated yesterday, is likely to be fol
lowed by other important transactions
OF a similar character.
In the past Rio de Janeiro, as we'll as
the other South American municipali
ties and states, has done the great
bulk of their public financing in Lon
don and Paris. In the future most of
this business will probably be trans
terred to New York, provided salts

securities

The Big Consumer

The director general protests, but
the fact remains that he is buying
100000 tons of rails. 1t is a frequent
experience, after periods of stagna-
tion in a market, that when the biggest
consumer begins buying again all
others follow suit.
Steel Stock Price Levels
What justification can the steel
stocks have for selling at this level
now, so near to the high levels during
the war period? Steel common as q
per cent stock is selling higher than
1t was at times as IT per cent stock
With the industry operating at IS per
cent of capacity, steel stocks are sell
ing higher than they were at times at
full capacity, and at higher prices.
The explanation is that the steel stocks
never did discount their earnings and
dividends at the height of the war,
because they were not expected to last.
The war markets were peculiarly con
servatlve. 1t was not only that the
stocks did not achieve a capitalized
price on current earnings. Some of
them did not so much as add the actual
earnings themselves to price. Republic
Iron & Steel, selling in 1915 as high
as 81, added in 1916, 1917 and 1913 $1O9
a share in earnings for those three
years, not only after deduction of all
excess profit taxes, but after deduc-
tion Of its common dividend payment.
Yet the shares now sell below 90
Similarly, United States Steel's book
value is now figured at S235 share.
The assumption during the war was chat
steel capacity when hostilities ceased
would be greatly expanded, while con-
sumption would return to the pre- war
level, and goodness knows what would
happen to prices. Six months actual
experience of peace and it's further
prospects have thrown nsiderable
doubt on that assumption.

payment of $534,756 in preferred divi-

amounted to $1,204,413, falling off
OF $860591.
In his remarks to the stockholders
W A. Bostwick, president, pointed out
that it was futile to attempt to fore
cast the conditions that will rule
throughout the current fiscal year.
There are certain important factors
in the consuming markets, both here
and abroad" he said, that must be
reckoned with that are temporarily
adverse in character, such as the
hesitant condition of industry gener-
ally, until the definite consumption
Of the peace treaty; the presence of
large stocks of metal and scrap metal,
both in governmental and private pos
session; the embargoes against i'm
ports in foreign countries, the diff
culties of financing and exchanging in
foreign markets and the possibilities
of some restrictive measures as to
armaments or trading freely in raw
materials being incorporated in the
peace treaty.
"On the other hand the company's
plants, mines and ore reserves are in
splendid physical condition and there
has been provided a capacity badly
needed by the company to enable it to
advance the uses Of its various
speciality nickel and Monel metal prod
ucts for commercial uses. Moreover,
with increasing growth in the uses Of
alloy steels an increased consumption
in that quarter can be looked for"
The companys balance sheet to
March 81 last, discloses S9,692,42 in
inventories, compared with $G,824,5
for the preceding year. Accounts re-
cevable were placed at S836,8S4, while
