RAILROADS. PROFITS
This Year to Top All Past
Records

New York City GLNS)--As the
result of an analytical study of earn
ings, carloadings and other condi-
tions affecting the railroads, the
Financial World says in its current
issue that there is no question but
that the railroads will break all gross
and net earning yearly records in
1929, nor is there any question but
that the near term traffic outlook is
favorably defined" With regard to
the latter the publication says that
the shippers survey covering the en-
tire country indicates an increase of
about per cent in the last quarter
of 1929 compared with the very good
volume of traffic enjoyed in the last
quarter of 1928.
The law of increasing returns plus
increased efficiency is accounting for
a very large gain in net earnings COM
pared with the gains in gross, the
Financial World says, adding that
earnings are now climbing to their
seasonal peak, and that rail stocks
today are the cheapest available on a
price earnings ratio basis, with the
long-range outlook extremely favor
able"

Big Crash in Stock Market
Reveals julius Rosenwald
AS "Boss" Of Sears, Roebuck

Chicago ULNS) S)-The big crash
in the stock market, which resulted
in the unprecedented sale of 16,410,-
600 shares on the New York Stock
Exchange, October 20, forced julius
Rosenwald, self-advertised philan-
thropist, to come out into the open
as the real master of Sears, Roebuck
& Co., dealer in prison-made overalls
and stoves and thirty y-million-dollar
purchaser of non-union printing.
Gen. Robert E. Wood, president of
the company, has insisted that Mr.
Rosenwald has had little to do with
the management of affairs for nearly
five years, and therefore should not
be held responsible for the letting of
a huge printing contract to the non
union R. R. Donnelley & Sons Com
pany.
When the stock of Sears, Roebuck
& Co. hit the toboggan and went to
five points under par on October %,
however, Mr.. Rosenwald came out
from under cover and called his lieu
tenants together for a conference in
reference to the serious turn of af-
fairs. The stock was selling at 95
at the close of the New York Stock
Exchange on October 20. This was
loss of approximately 60 points in
les sthan two weeks, while the high
for the year-only few months ago
was 181.

American Federation of Labor be rep
resented.
"The situation in the South is of
commanding attention to the officers

American Federation of Labor. There
is basis for the social unrest and

prospect that their savings would be
swept away, and as a consequence
the morale of the big organization
was badly affected
Following the conference between
Mr.. Rosenwald and other company
officers announcement was made that
Mr.. Rosenwald would put his money

overfowing with sympathy and help

Of the earth.
With that end in view, the movie

the second of its kind since the World
War, was issued by President Green
as the result of action taken by the
Toronto convention of the A. f. of L.
directing that such national confer

adjournment of that convention.
President Green's letter to national
and international unions sets forth
the convention action, declares the
situation in the South is of "com-
manding Importance" The letter
points out that the A. f. of l.. must
respond to the need of the Southern

"The convention of the American

the convention was reflected in three
specific ways:
Three Ways to Help
First, the convention directed that
in order to meet the urgent require
ments of the United Textile Workers
organization, that funds be raised i'm
mediately to assist this organization.
Second, the convention recon-
mended that every affiliated national
and international union which has not
already assigned organizers be urged
to give its fullest cooperation by the
assignment of organizers to the
South at the earliest possible date.
Third, the convention directed that
the officers of the American Fedora
tion of Labor call a conference of
officers of national and international
unions within thirty days after the
adjournment of the convention, for
the purpose of devising policy that
will be acceptable to all interested
parties in the proposed campaign of

vention relating to the calling of a
conference was expressed in that part
of the resolution adopted by the con-

Of any fledgling industry. This
industry is about the stage the
motor industry was at 20 years
ago. How have those Jared who
put their money into new auto

The records are rather appal-

Upwards of 1900 motor car
companies have been launched in
this country.
Not two out OF each hundred

Indeed. only about one per cent
OF the 1900 are operating profit
ably today. Notable among the
latter are General Motors, Ford.
Chrysler, WHY'S, Studebaker, Hud.
