Matt Brush's Mark.

Matt Brush did oneAo the biggest
Jobs Of the whole war.
Charles A. Stone. the able and alert
president of the American. Interna-
tional Corporation. spotted Brush
about the time Hog Island was strug-
Cling to transform itself from q
swamp into the greatest shipbuiiding
yard In the world.
Ono day workman applied at Hog
Island for q Job, was engaged In the
regular way, went to work, and learn
ed at first hand how things were
going among the men.
This was how Matt Brush chose to
gain brass-tack information useful to
him when he thereafter took charge
of the whole works. You may recall
that Brush astounded the Washing
ton investigators by his amaxing
mastery OF all facts and figures con-
nected with Hog Island.
His elevation to a more respon-
sible position should be welcomed by
American International Corporation
stockholders.

traordinary ability and his phenom.

Chandler Motor Dividend.

The controversy over continuance
OF the Chandler Motor dividend has
arisen again. There Is a belief in some
quarters that the company will not
continue its existing IS annual pay
ment.
The directors themselves at this
time have no idea Of what action they
will take when they again meet early
in September.
Whether or not the $3.50 quarterly
payment Is made will depend entirely
upon the amount OF business handled
in the meantime.
Just at present the officials state
sales are holding up satisfactorily.
However, there are many reasons why
the doubt as to the continuance of
the dividend fpr any length of time
cannot be considered far-fetched. In
fact. the same might well be true for
any motor company. even/Btudebaker.
who now has orders booked months in

1t is to be expected that should the
business depression continue for any

will be influenced, and 1t Ia also to be
expected that other companies are not

Selling Of Steel.

STEADY selling OF steel was expert.
enced all during the session, primarily
due to the poor showing made by the
Lackawanna Steel Company for the
last quarter and the expectation of
a correspondinsly unfavorable report
by the steel corporation to be issued
on June rs.
1t is estimated that should the steel
corporation allow for charge-offs on
the same basis as they did in the pre-
vious quarter, net income will not be
sufficient for preferred dividend re-
quirements.
However, nothing In known as to
how the reductions for charges will
be computed, as these affairs are
managed by only few folks in United
States Steel, who maintain strict reti,
cence.
What hope existed for a revival OF
demand, due to the recent price cuts,
has now been dissipated. and the only
expectation for renewal OF buying
now rests In the belief that the rail.
road may enter the market sooner for
materials to conduct necessary re-
pairs and maintenance work.

During the Lull.

NEW YORK. July 1s.-Traders
realize that an extended lull usually

It will be bad weather for the bulls

Many hope that the existing lull

However, there are 30 many peril
