ment, the entire surplus of railway equipment bids fair to be wiped out. A car shortage within six weeks Is among the probabilities. The rail- roads are carrying freight now, with the exception of coal. at nearly ca pacity tonnage. The settlement of the coal strike in the bituminous fields bids fair to send transporta- ton tonnage to new high records within the next 60 days.
 The most spectacular industrial development of the past week was the 20 per cent wage increase in the steel industry. Economists here weI e unprepared for 1t and were some what startled when it was announced. Once effective, however, the wage increase is heralded as the first of a number to come.
 It Is the opinion of officials here that wage increases impend in the building trades and the automotive industries if those major lines of endeavor are to hold their forces in the face of the strong bid for work CTS at the steel mills.
 Not First Increase
 Although the wage increase in tho steel industry was hailed as the first big pay roll boost of reviving pros perity, such an. appraisal was un- warranted. It was preceded by heavy wage increases In the non-union coal fields. Operators in those fields, flooded with orders, raised wages from 10 to 30 days ago. The wage increases approximated 25 to 35 per cent and affected more than 1000

BUSINESS SETBACK
 FROM STRIKES NOT

Optimism Follows Upon Heels of Partial Settlement in the Coal lndustry-FueI
 Still Needed
By HARDEN coLFAx Special Correspondent of The Age-Herald (Copyright, 1929, by The Age-Herald)


 Washington. August 26.-The in- dustrial setback caused by the twin strikes promises to be as brief as 1t was sharp. Optimism has fol- lowed immediately on the heels of the strike settlement in the bitu- minous fields. Reports to the de- partment of commerce and labor dis- close that manufacturing and other plants which had to slow down or close up for lack of fuel, are plan hing to reopen or increase operations as fast as they can get coal to meet their requirements.
 So heavy Is the demand for coal, however. that the hand to mouth needs of these plants cannot be met short of three weeks to a month, In the opinion of the government coal distributors. Coal production next week will approximate 10,0O0.- 900 tons. Actual running require- ments probably will approximate S,000.000 tons.
 There is coal enough for every body's immediate needs. according to a survey of the producing capacities of the various operating fields, made by the geological survey. The prob lem is to get the coal from mine mouth to consumer. Transportation facilities will be pressed to the limit. in the opinion of the carriers execu- tves. Rush orders for coal. in the opinion of the railroads, seemed like ly to bring every available coal car into service.

Virginia, for instance, unskilled Ia borers are receiving at the present time as much as $5 day.
 Business Is about to receive an- ether impetus from an unknown source, namely, Section 20 of the revenue law of 1921. Under that section of the law corporations which do not distribute their earn ings are taxed 25 per cent upon the undistributed amount. Heretofore corporations could escape a portion of the government tax by holding their earnings intact Many corpora tions did this. with the result that hundreds of millions of dollars are tied up, ripe melons awaiting the knife on day when tax burdens would be frightened.
 Distribute Profits
 All that is changed by the new law. The tax which undistributed prdofits must pay is much heavier than the tax which would be in- posed if they were distributed. Scores ot big corporations-and hun dreds of little ones-are reported as getting ready to distribute their accumulated profits. One unfortu- nate corporation president-a non uDion coal operator-sorrowful told tkis correspondent today that his company soon would be forced to dis tribute more than a million dollars in dividends.
 Unemployment In unskilled labor has increased considerably during the past three weeks, largely because of the rail and coal strikes, but some t slight improvement has been notice

MAN-CARRYING HELICOPTER

Since the early days of aviation, the development of successful heli- copter has been one of the most fascinating problems for the experi-- mentors in aeronautics. The two chief advantages of such machine would be it's ability to rise or de- scend in a vertical line, and to hover in the air much in the manner or balloon. That advances are being made toward the solution Of this problem is shown by the announce ment of some successful flights by the Berliner helicopter, at College Park, Md.
 The machine. as shown by the H. lustrations in the Popular Meehanics Magazine, where 1t is described, has followed standard airplane design as far as practicable, having a fuselage and landing gear similar to the or- dinary airplane's. No extended flights have yet been made, but in official preliminary flights the machine has risen as much as 10 feet in the air.

EDGAR LOCKWOOD sCoUTEN

When Edgar began scoutin' around for an opening In the automobile in dustry, he found a place in the Velie factory in Moline, Ill.,. and being a young man of vision and ambition he accepted a position with that con- cern at the princely remuneration of S1.50 per day. This was in the year 1909 and In 1912, Scouten came to Nashville, Tenn, and represented the Velie in that city. Then he went over to Atlanta, where he took
 charge of the Velie branch, thus get ting into the wholesale end of the business and establishing branches in seven states of the south. Like many others. Scouten realized the opportu- mites that existed in Birmingham for dustry like the automobile business, so he moved over to the Magic City and became sales manager for local automobile concern. In this position he made a splendid success and an enviable reputation as salesman
 About this time Scout" decided he was "hep" to all the fine points of the automobile game, so he decided to go into business for himself He took the agency for the Mitchell in 1920 and soon the town was full of Mitchells. Later he moved from his first location on Avenue "B" up to Auto Row, his present location, and took on the Franklin line. On July he secured the franchise to sell the Maxwell in Birmingham so that his
