DAVIS CLASSES
WORKERS WIFE
AS EXECUTIVE
Secretary of Labor Lauds
Average Woman in
Radio Address.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Every
housewife is entitled to two weeks
vacation each year, in the opinion
of Secretary of Labor Davis.
Secretary Davis, in a radio address
Thursday night, termed the wife of
the working man "the greatest,
busiest business executive in the
world"
There's a real rock-ribbed, hide
bou ii working schedule under the
surface of the weekly household
activities he said. Each day has
its tasks which must be performed
with clock-like regularity"
He listed the weekly schedule of
an average housewife:
Monday, washing; Tuesday, IRON
ing; wednesday, mending and sew
ing; Thursday, odd jobs; Friday,
cleaning; Saturday, the biggest of
all, with cooking, catering and tend
ing the children, home from school.
There's no rest for her on Sunday,
either, he said.
"She may not be a saint, queen
or a goddess. Sometimes she gets
tired and cross. Why not, consider
ing the load on her shoulders?" he
said.
"AS we add up her list of occupa-
tions--wife, mother. nurse, house
keeper, cook, laundress, seamstress,
hopper, financier, mistress of every
trade-we gaze at her in wonder and
admiration"

TRADING NERVOUS
. ON CURB EXCHANGE
Price Movements Mixed as
Operators Assume Cautious
! Attitude Toward Market.
BY HARRY III. BECKER.
DISPATCH to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 8-Speculation
proceeded cautiously on the Curb EX-
change today, with price movements
highly mixed, although less nervousness
existed over the money situation, not
withstanding the big expansion In
brokers' loans.
The list was at first disposed to ex-
tend Yesterdays closing rally. but the
improvement did not make much head
way, and was followed by successive
short lived reactions and periods Of re-
covery.
In spite of the general uncertainty.
Standard Oil of Indiana stood out con-
Spicuously, moving up sharply. APP
parently the Street felt that with the
fight in the management definitely set
tied by the Rockefeller victory the stock
was in a better position to respond fully
to the excellent report for last year.
Another strong stock in the oil group
was Continental, which started off
higher on $4,000 shares and developed
pronounced strength in the subsequent
trading. Many other oils did better
than of late.
Efforts to carry the decline further
met with success in some of the avia-
ton issues, the utilities, metals and
chain store sections. Aviation Corpora
tion, however, snapped back after break
ing points and equally vigorous re-
coveries were staged in Gold Seal Elec-
trio. CaSein Corporation of America,
Bohm Aluminium, American Cyanamid,
B.; International Protector, Central
Atlantic States and many less active
specialties.
Anaconda Copper rights were turned
over in huge blocks again and displayed
strength, but there was a renewal of
profit-taking in some Of the higher
priced copper shares. Newmont broke
sharply at one stage. Selling pressure
was also exerted against stocks like
Checker Cab, United States Freight. the
Marconis and others in which larger
speculative following has been built UP
this year.
Among the utilities Electric Bond &
Share new and the old company stock
displayed heavier tone, with the Amer
lean Super Power issues, United Gas I'm
provement, American Light &c Traction,
American Foreign Power warrants and
Northeastern Power also weak.
Stock of the newly formed Aviation
Corporation, an investment company,
was listed and Immediately became ac-
tive above the public Offering price.

ing In Virginia and Kentucky by the

alton of the mining property involved
was placed at more than 100000 600.
The new concern was chartered in
Delaware, February %. A partial an
nouncement in New York recently stat
ed the capitalization was $4,000 900.

EMPLOYMENT GAIN
IN i. S. INDICATED
New Production Records Are
Forecast as Industries
Expand.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March Unemployment
is at high rate in nearly all sections
of the United States. This is true
despite the fact that bad weather has
had a retarding effect on agricultural
operations.
In the industrial plants there are
more workers on the pay rolls than in
any March in 10 years. In some in
dustrial centers, where automobile ma
chinery, steel and airplane plants are
located, the employment rate IS over
IS per cent higher than at this time
in 1923.
The hiring rate for unskilled labor in
many of the Middle Western centers Is
around 445 to As cents an hour. The
mine ray rolls are heavy. and wages in
some camps have been raised recently.
More goods have been produced in
January and February than in any SINH
lar months In history. It Is likely that
the output for the first quarter will
establish new and astounding records.
Commodity prices are seemingly well
stabilized. Inventories are not high in
most lines. The average increase in
earnings for the more important in
dustrial corporations in 1928 was II
per cent as compared with 1927. This
rate of gain is not only being main
tanned but increased at present
There is not the slightest indication
of a check In the activity of the steel
mills. Many are at 100 per cent of
capacity operation and the average for
the industry Is only a comparatively
few points down from the very top
The automobile plants are still adding
men and turning out machines with
the utmost speed. 1t Is noticeable,
however that from time to time slight
price cuts are being put into effect
with the object of keeping motor car
volume up.
There has been some slight check to
home and apartment house building.
This is attributed by some to the adj
vance in money rates. Others feel that
the Indictment weather in some sections
has been a contributing cause. How
ever, the volume of public building is
sure to be bolstered by the volume
OF construction authorized and appro-
priated for by the Congress just adj
journed
Rubber and tire plants are extremely
busy and some plants are taking on
more men in anticipation of the Spring
rush. Shoe factories are we'll engaged
and tanners and shoe manufacturers
have benefited somewhat from the
lower hide prices. Apparel demand has
begun to pick up in anticipation of
Easter business, which comes early this
year. The knit goods lines are espe-
cially active. Millinery sales have been
fair. The cotton mills are still in an
unfavorable position, although produc-
ton and consumption are high. Raw
wool prices are not as gratifying as
they were year ago.

STABLE MONEY PLAN
GAINS SUPPORTERS


NEW YORK, March 8.--The Stable
Money Association announces the addi-
ton of two prominent business men to
its executive committee. v. Farwell,
Chicago, and George Eastman, Roch-
ester
The association stands for a stable
price level. 1t was organized several
years ago to promote sterilization of the
purchasing power of money by spread
Ing the understanding of the serious
evils which attend the general fluctu-
alton in the price level. 1t also studies
the problems involved in the prevent
ability OF such fiuctuation, and the
various methods proposed for stabili-
cation.
It opposes those twin brothers in
crime, monetary imitation and monetary
deflation. Monetary imitation causes
proflteering. The high cost of living
burdens school teachers. Judges. PEN
sioners, salaried workers and wage earn
ers-every one receiving fixed income.
Endowed institutions like colleges,
churches and hospitals suffer through
increasing expenses by imitation, while
incomes remain fixed. Others hurt by
n1latlon are savings bank depositors
and the holders of mortgages, bonds and
life insurance policies.
Denation, on the other hand, causes
business depression. Prices fall SO that
merchants buy from hand to mouth.
unemployment grows, factories shut
down, farmers find it difficult to paw
mortgages. bankruptcy increases, eco
nomic progress is halted.
Both imitation and defiation are bad

Winter wheat, however, was of sufficient
volume to make values average higher.

Complaints about indications of in

times more or less advantage to the
buying side of the wheat market here.
Kansas February weather was reported
as the coolest on record for 1895, 1899
and 1905. According to advices from
the Southwest, the plant does not ap-
pear to be well rooted and is susceptible
to blowing Of the soil. Lighter arrivals
aof wheat at domestic terminals were
of some effect, too, as price strength

the total 261 .000, BOO bushels, against pre-
Tious indications of only 100000, 900

BY the ASSOCIATED Press.
OTTAWA, March 8.-CloSing of the
Canadian market to farm products
from the United States In retaliation
for increased tariffs on Canadian prod
ucts entering the States has been urged
by Hugh Gutherie, acting Conservative
leader, in speech before Parliament.
He said farm products were import
ed into Canada from all parts of the
world each year to the value Of $780,
00O, 900, while Canada exports to the
United States agricultural products
slightly In excess of that amount.
IF the United States closes its doors
on Canadian products, Canada can close
hers on the agricultural products of the
rest of the world. The Dominion Is in
a position to supply her own needs" he
