White Motor Intends
To Continue Dividends

Windsor D. White, president Of the
White Motor Company, in letter to
stockholders yesterday repudiated the
statement to employees recently made
by the vice-president in charge Of pro-
duction that the dividend earned for
the first three months of next year and
due April l, as reflected by the opin-
ion of the executive committee, should
be reduced"
"The board finds upon investigation, !"
said Mr.. White, chat this statement t
was made by the vice-presdent with
out consultation and without the
knowledge of his associate officers or
of the executive committee and be-
lievcs it to be its duty to state to
you that no such decision has been
reached, but that the contrary is the
fact, namely, that it is the great desire
and expectation of this company to
continue the uninterrupted regularity
Of it's dividends on the present basis.
cts earnings in the past as re lect-
ed in its surplus are quite sufficient
to make this policy permissible dur
ing the ensuing year. The earnings
of the company will be determined by
the demand for the companys product.
Our dividends have been declared at
a low rate, considering the earnings
of the company, with the view to pol
icy of regularity, and the board hopes
its policy in this respect can be main
tanned"
Regarding rumors of new financing
Mr.. White said there is no immediate
need for the sale of securities by the
company.

" atch Case Trade
Has Banner Year

The watch case industry has expert
enced banner year, business trans
acted having been unprecedented, in the
opinion of the leading manufacturers.
Manufacturers of cheaper grades of
watch cases report that their business
has exceeded that of the preceding
year, and, although the usual dull pc
riod has arrived they anticipate fair
revival of trading early in the new
year.
A manufacturer who deals only in
high grade gold watch cases asserted
that there was scarcity in his line,
and, in his opinion, judging from the
amount Of untitled orders, the situa-
ton would ct least continue for an
other year. Gold-flled and medium
grade watch case manufacturers also
report untitled orders on hand and cx-
pressed the belief that more orders
might have been received but for the
shortage Of skilled watchmakers, which
has retarded the production of good
watches.
Reduction in the price Of high grade
watch cases is hardly probable for
some time, it was said. Manufacturers
contend that the advance in the price
of their product has been small in
comparison with the price advances in
other commodities, and that the cause
for the increase was the high cost OF

Treasury Offering
lis Oversubscrihed
BY District Banks
Applications ON Hand When
Subscription Books Open
Sufficient to Take Quota;
More Interest Is Shown

Banks in the Federal Reserve Dis
trict of New York are responding to
the latest offering Of United States
Treasury certificates of indebtedness
with a tremendous oversubscription. #
was learned yesterday.
Inc quota set for this district in the
5000 100000 Offering is $4,000 900. Ap-
pllcatlons on hand when the subscrip-
ton books opened were sufficient to
take up the entire quota. Since then
subscriptions have been pouring in
steadiy, and up to a late hour yester-
day applications already received called
Tor approximately $3OO,OOO,0OO 1t was
stated by the bankers that additional
subscriptions which will come in be-
fore the books close are likely to swell
the total to well over that figure.
Some of the large downtown banks
ave heavily increased their subscrip-
tons as compared with previous Treas
ury certificate offerings. Corporations
have eagerly sought to obtain large
share of the Offering, and one corpora
tlon alone put in an application yester-
day for S2,5OO,000. A savings bank ap-
piled for $1,O00,O0O. Indications are
that allotments in this district will be
on basis of less than two thirds of
the amount applied for.
Banks are finding the new offering
attractive because of the high interest
coupon. The issue consists of six
month certificates bearing a 5M rate
and one-year certificates bearing 6
per cent rate. In view of the pros spect
of easier money next year, the banks
look upon the new securities as good

Stresses Necessity
OF Business Honor

An honest regard for obliga-
tions is the most vital principle
affecting American business to-
day, Jacob w. Mack, of the Rauh
& Mack Shirt Company and
president of the International
Garment Manufacturers Associa-
ton, told that organization yes
terday at the opening of it's con-
vention.
ga contract entered into in
good faith" he said, "must not
be Cancelled by either party, but
must be fulfilled regardless of
what loss that action entails. It
is not monetary but a moral is
sue, and the sooner that idea is
recognized and observed by all Of
us, the sooner you will find orders
will be placed and contracts en-
tered into more cautiously, more
intelligently and with a feeling of
complete safety"
Speaking of the general situa-
tion, Mr.. Mack said: "This is no
time for fear or panic-this is
rather time for caution and con-
fidence."

Do Little in Effort Toward
Rehabilitation and Sugges-
ton of Remedies: Delay
Ordering Raw Material

Little constructive effort toward
bringing about rehabilitation of busi-
ness is being taken by the average in
dividual producer of goods, if senti-
ments expressed by members of the in
ternational Association Of Garment
Manufacturers arc fair sample of the
mental slant that obtains in industrial
circles to-day.
The manufacturers, at their conven-
ton yesterday, failed to take advantage
of an opportunity to discuss the present
state of business or to suggest reme-
dies for its Improvement Private ques-
tioning of several members of the as
soclation revealed striking similarity
in mental attitude Broadly speaking,
they. are waiting for something to turn
up, hoping that business will be better
after the first of the year, confident
that the purchasing power Of the coun-
try has not increased to any appreci-
able extent, but still skeptical of pres
ent price levels.
Of more than q half dozen leading
manufacturers of work clothing, house
dresses, children's apparel, etc., not one
mas placed orders for anything like his
nornal requirements of raw materials.
They all declared that they would not
be ready to buy these materials until
they had a larger volume of orders for
finished goods on their books than they
have at present. The element of un-
certainty as to the ability of present
prices for cotton goods and other ma
terals to hold to present figures also
was given as reason for delaying pur-
chases.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
establish a uniform cost accounting
system in the association, to prevent
some of the "unintelligent" competi-
tlon that is now said to be resulting in
the sale of goods below actual cost of
production.
Prices for garments produced by the
manufacturers are still in a state of
hux.
"Our firm is ready to meet the prices
set by any of our competitors" one man
said.
"We are selling goods at loss, but
hope that demand will lead to higher
prices soon," remarked another.
Most of the manufacturers firmly be-
licve that present price levels are
lower than those that will prevail a
few months hence if a demand for
goods reasSerts itself

American Cooperation Urged
In Aiding Europe's Recovery

Both the French and Belgians have
ovcrestimated their capacity for re-
habilitating their industries, in the
opinion of Trade Commissioner Charles
P. Wood, who has just prepared re-
port on industrial machinery in these
two countries for the Bureau Of For
cign and Domestic Commerce..
"American cooperation" he says
"applied to the reconstruction of essen
tial producing industries would provide
a considerable market for American in
dustrial machinery and at the same
time would insure raw materials and
moro work for European machinery
factories. More needs to be done to
gain the confidence Of European in
dustrialists."

Cost Accounting System
Interests Garment Makers

The feature of yesterdays opening
session Of the twenty-fourth semi-an-
nual convention of the International
Association of Garment Manufacturers
at the Waldorf-Astoria was the expla-
nation of the organization's plans for
ests blishing cost accounting system
and bureau in the industry. The plan
has been outlined in these columns
previously.
The remarks Of F. L. Sweetser, of the
Dutchess Manufacturing Company,
chairman of the cost accounting com
mittee. and of w. r. Bassett, of Miller,
Franklin Bassett e. Co., industrial en-
gineers, who are cooperating in the
work, were received with marked in
terest by the manufacturers. A fur
ther report will be given to-day.
The afternoon session was devoted
to sectional meetings, as will the ses-
sion this morning, to be followed by a
luncheon, at which Irving Lenroot,
United States Senator from Wisconsin,
will speak on coincidence and Con-

SiIvcrware Trade Survey

A survey of the sterling silverware
trade, including the manufacturing, re-
failing and consuming ends Of the in
dustry, has been undertaken by the
Sterling Silverware Manufacturers AS
sociation. The organization has en-
gagged the research department Of the
George Batten Company, advertising
agency, for the survey. The decision to
compile comprehensive data on all
branches Of the sterling silverware bus
mess grew out Of the desire Of the
manufacturers to establish some plan
of cooperative effort to increase the
output of sterling silver as we'll as

Answer-The Central Georgia Power
