ROADS URGED To

Haven't you noticed that a five
day week Is being urged by some
as a 'cure" for unemployment?
The five-day week doubtless viii
come in time.
Meanwhile, why not exert
day work week and the 365-day
work year?
The present financial condition
of our railroads and the present
labor conditions make this a pecu-
liarly opportune time to launch a
vigorous movement to do away
with this entirely un-American
evil.
Several railway presidents have
emphasized, in letters already
published in this column, that
the seven-day jobs are preferred,
as shown by the fact that such
jobs are eagerly bid for when

From Fordson, Mich, comes this
letter, from which it may be better
to withhold the signature:
Railroad officials claim the
men prefer the seven-day week.
They do not. They prefer the
slightly larger pay check for the

The Other Side
Now for the railway managers

''Of course, you realize that

consequently, there is certain
minimum amount of work which
must be performed in certain
branches of railroad service. As
far as possible, the operations of

road are shut down on Sunday
in those departments whose opera
ton is not required to keep
trains moving on that day. A
large part of the employees who
perform Sunday service have the
opportunity Of time off on other
days than Sunday. As long as it
Is necessary to operate trains on
Sunday it will be necessary for q
certain percentage Of railway en-
pIoyes to work on that day, but
am safe in saying that the
great majority of employees OF
this company do not work on

BUY INSURANCE
WITH GAINS,
IS ADVISED
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

NEW YORK, April 11.--In its
present mood, Wall Street is
disposed to make Albert Einstein,
1ormulator OF the theory Of rela-
tivity. its patron saint.
I Optimists on particular stocks
are arguing that they should so
up because other similar issues
have risen disproportionately to
them. Even the famous doctrines
ascribed by the ship news repor-
ters to John J. Raskob, chief finan.
eial officer Of the General Motors
Corporation, was based on the
theory of relatively. On the eve
OF his departure for Europe the
executive is reported to have re-
marked that General Motors
should sell Is times its earnings
II IL is to get in line with other
1ndustrials of its class.
Selling Very High
In another industry, there are
two dominating corporations.
The stock OF the older OF the
two is selling II times current
earnings. the shares Of the other
only IL times present earnings.
Friends OF the president of the
latter frequently ask him Wheth-
err his stock is cheap. In the
spirit of a relativist, he replies:
Either our competitors stock
e. too dear or ours is cheap"
This process of bringing sccuri-
ties into line, in so far as it has
any rational basis, springs from q
changing level of interest and capt.
tai rates.
! The theory that stock is cheap
I'm relation TO another stock poten-
TALLY entails an endless chain of i'm
flation. Unless the price Of the
standard of comparison is justified
by underlying value, the whole
process of reasoning is fallacious.
Internationally, a good deal of this
tlnsound thinking has been pro-
NOTED during the recent period OF
frenzied speculation.
Some OVerbulIed
Nowadays the observer in the
financial district frequently sees
ordinarily prudent individuals hest
tate to take profits on the ground
that they would be unable to en-
ploy funds more advantageously
elsewhere. The lack Of alternate
opportunities, it seems to me, Is no
justification for holding individual
stocks which have been overbulled.
This would seem to be propitious
time for spectators with huge
paper profits to cash in a part OF
them and use the proceeds to buy
a lump-sum deferred annuity from
q standard life Insurance company.
Such a contract would be hedge
against future mistakes in specula-
tive judgment, and would keep
them out of the county poor house
in their old age, even il stock prices
do not continue forever to move in
accordance with their expectations.
