BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-Strength
in United States Steel common
stock was the outstanding feature Of
an irregular stock market today.
Trading was on a very active scale
running close to the three-million
mark.
Various issues were under pres
sure at intervals during the day,
while several sharp gains were
scored. United States Steel got to
152 for a gain Of more than two
points, while General Motors ruled
around its previous close and Gen.
eral Electric lost more than a point.
New highs we're scored by American
Smelling, Bethlehem Steel and
Studebaker.
Houston OIL continued It's spec
tacl1lar uprush rising above $50.
Predictions are being made that this
issue will exceed its previous high
at 1741z.
Small Losses
Western Maryland was a feature
Of the railroad group.
Case Threshipg Machine lost
ground on profit-taking and small
losses we're noted in American Can
and Hudson Motors. Texas Land
Trust gained sharply.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review
said:
No slackening Of the upward pace
on the stock exchange occurred to-
day. Urgent buying demand con-
tinued in evidence, carrying many
sections Of the list to new high
ground.
Brokers reported broadening pub
lie participation in the market. Or
ders poured in from various parts
of the country under the stimulate
ing influence Of quickening trade
with the approach of autumn. With
railroad traffic at the highest level
of the year, and the steel industry
showing marked accelerationy con-
fidence regarding the fundamental
scundness of the business structure
was strengthened.
Sweeping Advances
This situation found strong re-
tlecticn in further sweeping ad-
,ances in representative issues like
United states Steel, American
Smelling, Postum Cereal, Union
Carbide, American Radiator, Con-
solidated Gas and Pennsylvania.
Another factor in the buoyancy
displayed by the stocks of this char
acter was the widespread ease of
money indicated by the lowering of
the bank rate at Philadelphia and
Chicago. 1t is only a question of
time until Minneapolis and San
Francisco take similar action, as
credit conditions at these centers
are comfortable. Hence, the entire
Federal reserve system may be con-
sidered to be on 31s per cent re-
discount basis, indicating the album
dance of money available for fall
business expansion.
Prices sold off somewhat from the
days highs on profit taking In the
later afternoon. However. the main
body Of stocks continued to act well,
and a further spectacular uprush
took place in Houston Oil, Gulf
States Steel and Penick and Ford
broke badly, but the weakness in
these issues was due to suspension
of their respective dividends.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. June s.
The biennial council of the Federation
Of Women'S Clubs today heard from
Fred Telford of Washington, ID. G.,
the declaration that striking exam
pie of bad personnel legislation and ad-
ministraton is afforded by the service
of the United States.
An address of TClford, who is dtrec-
tor of the bureau of Public Personnel
Administration. featured the morning
program of q day devoted to prepafa-
tie,n for adjournment.
THE Federal personnel work, which
should be handled by Il single agency,
has been parcelcd out among seven
central Agencies Telford said. 1t
would have been difficult deliberately
to build up system, or lack OF sys.
tom, so chaotic and so subyersiVe OF
every sound principle of personnel

Calls Machinery "P0litical.'
OF smaller governmental units he
said:
"At the present time the personnel
machinery Of the State of Illinois, of
Chicaco st, Louis and Kansas City,
Mo. is being used not primarily to
better personnel administration, but
to achieve other ends which the po-
litical party in power considers de-
sirahla Following the election of 1925
in Kansas City, it was frankly and
publicly stated that the director of

his Grafton in his own language, and,
as in the first international contest
last year. the Judges will be linguistS,
capable of passing upon the merits of
all the orations. The five judges in
last years contest were from five diff
fercnt countries. and the meeting was
presided over by President Coolidge.
Tentative plans for this years inter
national indicate that tho same gen
cral policy will be in force again.
Would Improve Relations.
The object of the contest between
the youthful orators of the several ma
tiOns is the furtherance of atfable rcla-
tjons between the various countries
through better undorSta nding which
the exchange of ideas on n common
platform would provide. Each con
testant's subject pertains to his own
government, and in his national con.
test each speaker, with his fellow
ContcnderS for his countrY'S cham
pIcnShip. sought to stimulate greater
respect for his own government.

Admits "GOod Work."

"It should be remembered that some
good personnel work is done in the
Federal service, but there is so much
fragrant disregard Of present laws, so
much bad administration, so many
archaic practices. and such frequent
action without knowledge of the facts
that the system, or lack of system,
neither commands nor receives the
confidence and respect of informed per-
sons"
