STOCKS RESUME
UPWARD
TREND
BY w. C. COUSINS
international News Service

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.---Esrilliant
forward movements Of the Motor
and Industrial stocks were promptly
resumed at the beginning OF trading
in the half a session of the markes
today.
Shorts in Chrysler Motor were
given further punishment as the
stock jumped Into new high ground
above 40 in extremely heavy trad
ing. General Motors recovered
most of the ground lost in the
early part of the week, ana new
gains of point or two were scored
by Studebaker and Hupp. The
high-fIyfng specfalt!es. including Gil.
lette Razor. National Dairy Prod
ucts, carried their advances from
2 to points under the stimulus OF
a powerful buying demand. A few
of the metals stocks continued the
buoyant movement inaugurated near
the close OF Fridays session, and
Radio jumped 5 points to I'll In q
new drive against the shorts.
The weekend business and mer-
camille surveys were unusually
favorable, the colder weather hav-
ing stimulated a wider demand for
winter garments Montgomery
Wards sales aggregated $40 900, 900,
the largest in history for that
month, and gain of between IS
and 80 per cent over the correspond
ing week OF last year. Business
profits have improved with the
firming up of commodity prices,
and Wall Street sees very rromis-
ing prospect for business in the
final quarter OF 1928.
Stock sales in the first hour were
slightly in excess of 100000 shares,
little below the average of recent
weekend first-hour turnover. The
tape was within minutes OF the
market at that time, and the profit
taking which flowed in from vari-
Gus points impeded the progress OF
the upward movement in prices
Moderate recoveries in the oils and
utilities gave the market a stronger
tone in the second hour.

.ORKERSURGED
AS BUSINESS
DIRECTORS
By B. G. FORBES

Well. inside Of 10 years every
progressive company will do what
the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company has just done. 1t has
made one of It's wage-earners
director. In this instance the man
chosen is president of the COM
pany's labor union.
This column has strongly urged
all corporations to admit repre-
sentatives of their employees to the
directorate. BY having one of them
selves on the board, wage-earners
are given a new status, so to speak.
1t admits them into the inmost
workings of the organization. 1t
betokens faith in them. 1t gives
them a new dignity.
Good Results Seen
Experience in most instances
will prove that such recognition
is productive of happy results to
all parties. 1t will inspire
greater feeling of responsibility
I
will help to make them feel that
they are part and parcel o. the
enterprise, vitality interested in
its wellbeing.
The best method would be to
allow the workers to choose their
own board representative. This
will come. OF course, giving
labor representation on the di-
rectorate will not bring on the
millennium; but it is one of
many little and big things which
can be done and will. be done
to bring about closer and more
cordial relations.
Playing with doomed stocks at
these dizzy prices, is, in the
writer's humble opinion, playing
with fire. Almost every dabbler
in stocks that know of confesses
his hope is to snatch profit and
run before trouble breaks out.
Merger Economical
The first fruit of the merging
of greater New York's four cleo
qtric utilities Is the prompt an.
nouncement by President Mat
thew 8. Sloan of reduction in
charges which will save con.
sumers, 1t is officially figured,
$4.500,00 And Mr.. Sloan init.
mates that this is only begin
ming of advantages the public
will reap.
The American public has be-
come convinced that mergers
usually can be made advantage
Gus to the concerns merged.
But they are not convinced that
all mergers benefit them. If
trouble Is to be avoided, merger
makers must do more than they
have yet done to bring home to
the people that their activities
really are helpful to consumers.
In the end, public sentiment
will rule.
Present indications are that this
country will enjoy Merry Christ
mas.
