There are a number of negro

French Employees Kick
When Paid by Check

PARIS, June Q.N.S). - Any
thing but good hard cash is de-
spised by the workers Of Paris.
A storm of protest has been
raised by proposals to pay city EN-
ployes by check. as the workers
have very little faith in scraps of
paper even if issued by their own
government.
An article from the code of en-.
ployment laws was unearthed by
them, and cited to sustain their
argument against checks. 1t reads
that employees must be paid in
money of metal" and the city must
stand by this statement.

AUTO INDUSTRY

Cadillac viii Exhibit New
16-CyIinder Car at
National Show.
Bu United Press

Bu United Press
DETROIT, Dec. 9.-The automo-
bile industry entered the final
month of 1929 last week with pro-
duction for the year expected to
total less than 100000 units.
The figure is the estimate of auto
motive industries, trade authority,
based on the present curtailed
schedules still in effect as the month
opened.
1.-THE present modest level of &C
tivity in the industry" the maya
zine continues, sis looked upon with
favor in numerous quarters where
large stocks of new and used cars
are considered a major problem"
Authorities differed slightly as to
the prospects for next year. George
Graham, president of Willys-Ov
land, said:
Fewer autos will be produced in
1880, fewer will be sold, and the
prices will be higher. Henry Ford
probably will stand alone in the
matter of price cults. Overproduc-
ton in the current year, when more
motor cars were made in the first
nine months than in the whole of
1923 will result in lesser volume next
year.
With fewer cars being manufac-
tured and sold, there must be big
ger per unit profit to maintain divi-
dends at present levels"
Finance companies indicate that
there has been a seasonal decline in
new retail paper purchased, but
none of them indicate any loss fur
Their than that anticipated as nor
NAL declines for this season. Most
are optimistic as to the sales future.
The new Cadillac sixteen-cylinder
car will be shown for the first time
at the National Automobile shows
beginning with the thirtieth annual
automobile show in New York city,
opening Jan. 4.

In the Stock Market
CBy Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-The move
ment toward split ups and stock
dividends gives promise of spread
ing, and during the coming week
it would not be at all surprising if
announcements from one or two
other of our larger companies fol-
lowed the lead of National Biscuit
and General Electric. Naturally,
companies whose shares are selling
around or above the 5000 level will
be the first to inaugurate recap
italization plans. This evidently
has been the basis for the rapid re-
covery in the values of the high
priced stocks in the moderately
priced stock, particularly IN the
motor and copper groups, have
made only a feeble response, but
we feel that readjustment in the
price of many of them will sooner
or later get under way. Copper
companies have succeeded in MAIN
tanning the 18-Cent level for metal
and with one of the principal units
in the automotive trade advancing
prices, investors are quite likely to
be attracted to the exceptionally
high yields still obtainable in these
groups. 1t is quite possible. also,
that the railroad consolidation plan
will be announced during the COM
ing week and better demand for
railroad shares would be the logical
result. All in all, the market acts
we'll and we still feel that moderate
recessions should be used for pur-
chaSeS.

SPEED TICKERS
High Cleared Machines to
Be Installed in City
Soon.

Inauguration of system Of new
high-speed stock tickers in New
York today by the Western Union
Telegraph Company was the first
step toward bringing Indianapolis
and other cities of the nation apace
with Wall Streets era of 100000
share trading days.
Six brokerage firms in Indian
apolis will be equipped with the
high-speed tickers.
They are: Thomson & McKinnon,
Jas. T. Hammill & Co., Roberts &
Hall, Prince & Whitley, Jas. E. Ben
nett q Co., and Blythe & Co.
The volume of business on the
New York Stock Exchange in the
past five years necessitated the
telegraph company's expenditure of
$4,5O0,000 in circuit and ticker
changes.
To Be Broken In
Installation of the new style tax
ers in Indianapolis will begin in
1880.
To prevent discrimination, the
new tickers, while capable of 500
characters a minute, will be oper-
ated at exactly the same speed as
the old ones until all of the old tick.
ers in the country have been re-
placed. Some 5000 new tickers will
be installed on Western Union cir
cults in New York in about four
months.
At least six months longer will
be necessary to rush work in the
balance of the country to COM
pletion, indicating the operation of
tickers at high speed in the United
States and Canada in about ten
months.
Installed on PedestaIS
The tickers will be installed on
new modernistic mahogany or wal
nut pedestals with a sixty-pound
metal base to insure stability. Ped
estalS will be 81 feet Or 21S feet
high, according to brokers wishes.
The old tickers were operated by
current sent over two line wire, while
part of the mechanism of the new
ticker is operated by an electric
motor on the ticker thus requiring
only one transmitting wire. Line
Interruptions to old tickers result
ed in an average loss of $50 charac-
tiers because the ticker was thrown
out of synchronism.
At cost of half million dollars,
Western Union is training 800 main
tenance men for the new ticker sys~
tenn at schools established for that
purpose alone in New York, Chicago,
Cleveland, Atlanta and San Fran
cisco.
