REPORTS ON
PRODUCTION

NEW YORK, May 5.-Dun's today
says: THE effect OF the record
production is becoming more sharp
ly defined in some leading indus
tries. 1t is seer in the easier con-
ditions in different markets, where
supplies have increased ami the rush
to secure goods has abated, and
Dun's current index number of
wholesale prices shows a slight re-
c~ession.
I'm considering the present slack
ening of the business expansion and
the check to the rise of prices, the
fact should not be disregarded that
the commercial recovery this year
has been been phenomenaliy rapid
and that prices are materially above
the low level reached in the after
war deflation. With many require.
ments already covered for several
months ahead, it was not to be ex-
pected that buying would continue
at the recent noteworthy rate or
that prices would advance indefi-
nitely.

C0PPER-LEAD
SITUATION

NEW YORK, May 5:-The Engi-
neering and Mining Journal Press
says:
The larger copper producers have
generally reduced their prices to
1855 and 16%c delivered, but these
prices are not sufficiently low to at
tract much business, and in the last
two or three days there has been no
dificulty in finding sellers at 1880.
The official contract price of lead
set by the American Smelling & Re-
filming Company was reduced from SC
to 7.I5c, New York, April 20. Since
then Mexican and European lead has
been offered at $50 and 7%c, with
out causing a stampede of buyers.
and n sale of a good tonnage was
sold for early June delivery as low
as 1850.
Galvanizers are showing a little
more interest. though the buying has
not been sufficient to affect the zinc
market. Prompt continues scarce.
and is quoted today at $50 and 6.85c,
with discounts of about 5 points for
each month forward.
Consumers of tin have been buying
more than for some time, and the
decline In price seems to have been
checked for the time being. Forward
deliveries command about hc pre-

THE I~NDUSTRIALIST SAYS

One Must Give More to Receive
Have you given serious thought to
More
all this talk about "a living wage"
"a saving wage" "a minimum
wage" "a starvation wage" and
other kinds of wages?
1t has been said America is a ma
ton swayed by phrases. by catch
words, by slogans. Most, If not all,
phrases and catchwords and slogans
and proverbs are half truths, half
lies. This subject of wages is so uni
versally important that we ought to
go down to its fundamentals and not
be content lazily to swallow or re-
ject superficial phrases.
The only wage that can and must
be paid. in the long run, il neither
the living wage nor the starvation
wage, neither the saving wage, nor
the minimum wage. The only wage
that can be paid permanently, and
should and must be paid permanent.
~, is the earned wage.
Whether the wage Is a living wage
or a starvation wage of a saving
wage depends more upon workers
themselves than upon employers or
unions or politicians.
Before money can be distributed
in wages it must be earned. Wages
can be paid out of empty tills or
safes. Wage money can't be drawn
out OF the air by some miracle. Be-
fore cash "a be put into pay en-
velopes it must first be drawn in bv
the payer.
How much can be paid out is reg
uiated by how much is pulled in.
A company's income is governed
largely by its workers output. A
quart can't be extracted from a pint.
Let us glance at one or two simple
illustrations.
In quite a few concerns workers
establish Christmas Funds. Every
week each member. of the fund con-
tributes a certain amount. When
Christmas comes around the workers
know that how much they will get
out of the fund depends entirely up
on how much they had paid in. If
they had paid a lot, they expect to
draw out a lot: II they had paid in
only a little, they will receive only a
little.
I used to live in South Africa. Ger
tain territories were occupied by
Negroes. They were a lazy, IMPROVE
dent lot. They titled only a small
patch of their land. They produced
extremely little. But they were sem
sible enough to realize that, as a re-
suit, they would harvest very little.
They didn't fool themselves that if
they planted only a tiny patch they
would reap as much as IL they had
planted an acre. In their own ele-

NEWARK, May 5:-Pursusnt to q
resolution adopted at a meeting re-
Gently held under auspices of the in
dustrial relations committee Of the
New Jersey State Chamber of Com
merce, L. K. Comstock, chairman OF
that committee, who presided at that
meeting, has appointed a large COM
mittee representative of the archi-

ers of mortgage money and citizens
at large from different parts OF the
state for the purpose of organizing a

interests Of the building industry of
New Jersey as a whole and the pub

The meeting at which this resolu-
ton was adopted was attended by

elements mentioned and was the cul-
mination of work extending over a
period of several months FIRST begun
with cooperative work between the

by representatives OF all the ele-
ments concerned in the building in

II feel SO keenly about this mat
ter continued Mr.. Babson, that
I am going to risk repeating several
things that have been said before. If
you are making an investment-be
it a hundred or several hundred dol
lars-be sure of the man and the
firm to whom you turn over your
money. 1t is a good plan to deal
with only the most reputable houses.
When in doubt ask your banker. He
will give you an unbiased report. II
there Is any question as to standing
or record-don't do it!
"In selecting securities for safe
investment, buy stocks and bonds of
established businesses, preferably
those which have been through years
of existence and have managed to
survive all sorts of business weather.
II you must speculate, there are sev-
eral hundred listed stocks of such
concerns traded in on the stock ex-
changes. Buy securities of known
and recognized value. When you are
selecting bonds for income, you have
several thousand sound issues spon-
sored by the reputable bond houses
of the country and backed by am
pie security. Over a thousand of
these are listed and traded in regu-
larly.
do not play favorites. Diversity
your list OF holdings as broadly as
possible. Spread your securities
over many lines of industry and as
many different sections of the coun-
try as possible. Then no single acct
dent to one concern and no extreme
depression in one locality can SER
iously affect your position. If you
can't follow these three rules" con-
cluded Mr.. Babson. IT advise you to
take your money to the nearest saw
ings bank and leave it there for safe
keeping"
General business continues strong
in spite of the propaganda that is
being spread in an attempt to de-
press stocks. The index OF the Bah
sonchart shows general activity at 4
per cent above normal, an increase
of 1 per cent over last week.

HOYLERS SPEAKS
AT CONVENTION
Federation is Urged for Trade
Bodies by New Jersey
State Manufacturers

ATLANTIC CITY. May 5.-Fed-
Grafton of the State Manufacturers
Organizations was urged here yes
terday by J. Philip Bird, of Jersey
City, president of the New Jersey
Manufacturers Association, in his
address to the annual sessions of
that body.
Formation of such a league, he
said would aid in the solution of
many problems that develop in bust
ness. At present the State associa-
lions were not functioning as ade-
quately as would be possible If
closer Interstate affiliations pre-
vailed. Such cooperation would
prove of great assistance to business
houses whose industries carry them
into neighboring States, he said.
Party platforms" he asserted,
''customarily are prepared by politi-
clans. We have always assumed our
right to complain at this, and then
we support the candidates who ac-
cept without understanding, the
party promises prepared largely for
their vote-getting, class-creating
value.
"Why should not this association,
representing the most substantial in
terests of the state, propose to lead
ing political parties an industrial
platform that would embody provis-
ions looking toward the best inter-
ests of every class in the commun-
ity?
1--WE hold that justice in industrial
relations must take account of the
rights of the employer and work
man that it is the duty of employ
ers to accord the workmen the right
to affiliate themselves with any or-
g%anization or not as they elect. but
that II Is a manifest injustice to
deny any worker the right to work
unless he can show membership in
.'lch organization"
Frederick Hoyler, chemical manu-
nturer. of Perth Amboy, predicted
rosy future for business. He said
manufacturers were so enthusiastic
that this assembly could almost be
called "a prosperity convention"
Labor is fully employed, more
could be used and it looks as II the
government would do industry a fav-
or in permitting the entrance of I'M
migrants to meet the demands of
commerce. but they must come from
those sections of Europe that are
easily assimilated by the Nation" he
declared.
"Wages are 10 per cent less than
in 1920, but they are the highest on
record except for that year. It does
not appear that wages will be re-
vised downward until there is slack
ening in prosperity and none just
now Is in sight. 1t will be no sur
prise if labor will ask for an in
crease"
George L. Leonhsrd, of Paterson,
summarized the outlook with the
statement: "There is no initiation in
the present industrial prosperity of
New Jersey, and the whole country
is in for n long swing of activity in
all lines OF production"
The initial session was confined
only to committee reports.

BabSOn'S Weekly Digest
OF Business And a
Conditions OF Nation

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, May
4, 1923.-"Eighty out of every hun
dred new concerns are doomed to
fail before they start" according
to a statement issued today by Rog-
er w. Babson. who has just returned
from a tour OF inspection.
Everywhere I co." says Mr.. Bah
son. people ask me to look at
their lists of Investments and it is
usually depressing business. l do
not know why men, keen in bust
ness, who work hard to earn and
save, will turn their savings over
to a comparative stranger or in
vest them in a stock or bond that
they know little or nothing about
nor why men of means who should
be somewhat experienced in matters
of investment insist on buying pro-
motion stocks.

mentary way they well knew that as
| never heard any Of them complain
that this was unfair.
I used TO set type. I received, at
one time, a fixed wage OF N dollar
a week. But 1 set a good deal more
boss was quite willing to raise my
pay to n dollar and a quarter a
week. He paid me this additional
money because I was earning II.
Speaking broadly. II the people OF
a nation are INDECENT, ignorant, un-
progressive, they reap the fruits OF
Incidence, ignorance and backward
ness. Where the people of a nation
are industrious. intelligent, progress
siye, they are relatively more pros
porous. Always, the amount to be
divided is determined by the amount
produced. You can't divide one
hundred into one hundred parts and
give each two.
The workers OF any nation can
never hope TO receive year IN and
year out more than they earn. II
they don't earn "a saving wagen
they can't permanently receive q
Saving wage" If they don't earn
a living wage" they can't go on re-
ceiving enough 10 enable them to
live on the scale implied by living
wage"
OF course, there are certain other
factors which enter into the reckon
ing. chief OF which are the skillful-
ness OF management and the pienti-
fulness oil meagerness OF natural re-
sources. Happily America is signal
ly blessed in both.
Even SO, however, unless workers
as a body earn high wages it Is not
in the cards to pay them high wages.
Limit output and you limit the
amount OF wealth created. The
amount available for us all to con-
sumo depends upon the amount all
of US produce.
None of which must be interpret
ed for a moment as implying that
the wages paid in each and every in
dustry and in other lines of work
are today equitable. We know that
they are not. Some building trades
mems wages, for example, are out of
proportion with what most tillers Of
soil are getting.
And remember, you and l have, fl
nally, to pay one another's wages.
