NEW YORK, August 16.-Heavy
buying of Electric Bond g. Share fea-
tured trading on the curb market to-
day. Both the stock and subscription
privileges were taken in large blocks
and at rising prices.
The stock opened 2ls points higher
at 145 and had a steady climb to
around lat, when some profit taking
developed. This stock has been under
steady accumulation, and the buying is
stated to be principally for the account
of the power interests.
Active Issues.
Transamerica stood out among the
investment trust issues in active trad
ing and appeared to have little trouble
in advancing. Goldman was another
strong issue. The Goldman Sachs
Trading Co.'S offer to exchange nine
shares for seven of the American Trust
Co. has expired, with the acceptance
stated to be better than IS per cent.
This transaction is expected to give
Goldman voting control of the Croker
First National Bank, American Trust
Co. and also c. F. Childs Co. and other
American company interests. Haygart
Corporation was also active.
Some of the motors moved higher
on short covering. in sympathy with
kindred shares on the big board.
Penroad was slightly higher. July
railway earnings will soon be out and
the rails stocks, it is believed, have not
fully discounted the expected increase
in income. Coppers were neglected,
but some of the aviation shares were
active at times.
Croker Wheeler was again a strong
feature of the speciality list, rising to a
new record high level at 4991a on talk
OF large earnings and the possibility of
a Split-up. In some quarters the view
prevails that the stock will appear at
100, which on 6-for-1 split would
mean 600 for the present stock. De
Forest Radio sold around 10 on re-
ported new contracts for the installation
of sound movie equipment.
Buying of Oils.
Absorption of the oils continued on a
rather broad scale in the face of a
reduction in Pennsylvania crude prices
of IS cents barrel, but offsetting this
development was the resumption of
dividends by the Prairie Oil & Gas Co.
after a lapse of two years and the new
high price established by Standard of
New Jersey in active trading on the
big board. The resumption of Prairie
dividends was taken to mean that oil
executives viewed the future with more
confidence.
Gulf Oil was we'll taken at slightly
higher quotations and the demand for
Humble continued at prices above the
close yesterday. Standard Oil of Ohio
was another favorite, rising above Y at
one time.

the Pennsylvania and the Great North
ern have gone into the bus business.
For 1t Is the buses and the privately
owned motor cars that have cut
heavily into the railroad passenger
traffic.
But the recent 10000, 900 merger of
the bus subsidiary of the Southern Pa
cific with the northumberland
lines operating from New York to Los
Angeles through Chicago marks an I'M
portant step in this deal. Both the
Pennsylvania and the Great Northern
have stock in the Greyhound. More
expansion in this field will be ar
nounced shortly.
Freight traffic, on the other hand,
measured in terms of additional mile
age, Is growing. From 1900 to 1928
the products of the mines just about
kept even, or showed an infinitesimaI
increase; manufacturers increased con-
siderab]y, but the products of agricul-
ture, forests, live stock, all suffered
slight shrinkage, as measured In terms
Of their proportion of the total.
While the automotor truck and the
bus have cut into the railroad pas
senger and freight revenue, the auto
mobile has not been an unmixed curse.
for the new freight created by the au-
tomobile industry in 1923 totaled in
freight revenue $516,0oO,O00 for the
railroads.

American Federation Of Labor.
The Negro is coming into his own.

Detroit employers of labor no longer
give out employment figures. Formerly
1t was customary to show tabulated
statistics from this great manufactur-
ing city each month. AS the autorno-
bile business developed into that of the
major industry Of the Nation these
figures were watched very carefully by
the business world as sort of barom-
eter on future business conditions. But
they are no more.
The reason given is that when it was
announced that the number of laborers
had increased few thousand during
the mouth the city found itself flooded
with more labor during the next few
weeks than it could possibly handle.
Ford's high wages had become known
nationally and other Detroit corpora
tons had followed suit.
This change in policy marks a new
epoch in industrial thinking. In the
old days employers of labor thought it
desirable to have few hundred or a
few thousand idle workers at their
gates. It acted as a healthy antidote
against unreasonable demands of labor,
thought the manufacturer. The old
policy of having more labor than jobs
held wages down to the minimum
This, too, was considered an ideal con-
dition.
Now, employers Of labor have COM
pletely changed front. They believe in
giving work to as many men as pos
sible and In paying the highest wages
consistent with good business. High
wages, in turn, means more purchasing
power for the masses and more gen.
eral prosperity.
The railroads are not keeping up in
the passenger procession. The Inter-
state Commerce Commission reports
that railway freight traffic is increas-
ing at fairly consistent rate over
long periods, but that railway passenger
traffic is moving in the other direction.
It is rapidly declining. In fact, the
number of passengers carried in 1928
was the same as in 1906, % years
before.
Railroad executives recognize the
problem and are now attempting to
meet it. Already the Southern Pacific,

RED|SCOUNT RAISE
HELD u. S. BENEFIT
Banker Says Foreign Capital
Will Be Attracted by
Higher Interest.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, August 16.-I was talk
ing with leading Detroit banker this
week about the Federal Reserve policy
and its effect on future business.
Nothing in the last year has done
more to discriminate against Europe
and make one bullish on America than
the action of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York in increasing the redis-
count rate on its paper from per cent
to 6 per cent" said this bank leader.
Eyes, the bank rates in Europe
that is, in the central banks-are con-
siderably lower than they are In the
United States. Some people draw the
conclusion that this kind of condition
is bad on American business. High
rates are not good for a country try
ing to get on its feet. But the United
States can stand high rates far better
than can any other nation. When a
Nation like the United States increases
its rediscount rate to per cent the
idle money of all other nations flows in
the direction of the highest rate. That
money is international. In the narrow
sense it is not patriotic-it goes where
1t can get the highest rate consistent
with safety. So European money by
the millions will gradually seek invest
merlt in the United States, where it
can receive much more for its rent than
1t can receive at home.
That's why am bearish on Euro
pean securities and very bullish on

American. I believe that America will
be the center of attraction Tor money
for another IS years.
"But let he say in passing, that the
high rediscount rate will have rather
bad effect on Europe. We may want
to feel that European affairs are really
no business of ours, but in the long run
that's a weak, narrow policy. Europe
should be considered when any rate Is
to be revised. For as New York goes
today so goes the world. We do have
an international as we'll as a national
business policy to reckon with.
"Too often in recent years, 1t has
been ignored"
What about the Negro in industry?
Twenty years ago, he was considered a
fidence in himself, and less confidence
in his ability to organize effectively for
daily work. At that time, mobS used to
lynch an average Of three Negroes a
week.
Then, foreign immigration was heavy
and these new laborers forced Negroes
out of jobs that were considered theirs.
Few Negroes went to college and few
er still entered the professions. There
was no Negro literature worthy Of the
name.
WIldC OF Lie SlGudIlOIl UOUdy! 1LIlLll-
grafton has stopped, the cry for good
laborers has gone up in all parts of
the country. The Negro is learning
his own power. In 1928, lynching had
dwindled to IL for the whole year. In
political life his representatives sit
in the councils and are members of
several State Legislatures. Chicago
has furnished one Congressman. Ten
thousand Negroes are graduated every
year from colleges and universities
Negro novelists, essayists and poets are
now making definite contributions to
the literature of America.
But what about the business side?
Negroes own 100000 homes already and
possess 81, 500, 100000 of wealth. They
have 60 life insurance companies, %
of which do an annual business Of
$242, 100000. Thousands of them have
settled in Chicago, New York, Detroit
and other Northern cities.
The Negro workers are becoming or
ganized. The Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters is now member of the

CHICAGO, August 16 Enormous
purchasing of future deliveries Of wheat
carried the wheat market skyward to-

Canadian threshing reports were worse
than had been looked for, and primary
receipts of wheat in the United States to-
day were decidedly smaller than either
week or a year ago. Under such cir
cumStances, wheat here, instead of
practically begging for an outlet, either
foreign or domestic, as was the case
only short time ago, was today in
brisk demand for domestic use, and the
trade at large had apparently concluded
to let foreigners come in when they get

Union," contained a two-dollar
bill, a second sealed envelope
and orders to deliver the en-
closed message at 5 o'clock
Thursday afternoon into the
hands of William Bryce.
The boy who brought the
message was traced. He was a
child who lived in the neigh
borhood. He said that a man
had gotten from an automobile,
given him dollar and told him
to run quickly to the telegraph
office and deliver the message.
Someone was dying. This was
all the child could report. He
could furnish no description Of
the man other than he was
tall and thin-"kind Of hungry
looking"
The second and third ransom
notes were delivered at the
same time with orders that
they be brought to the home
Of William Bryce at 10 o'clock
Friday night and at 1890 Fri
day night. The operator in the
Mission Street telegraph office
stated that a man who looked

envelope and hurried away be-
fore she had a chance to go
from her desk to the counter.
The death note. on the other
hand, had been mailed at 8
o'clock Sunday morning and
from a Berkeley poStoffice.
Bryce tried to reassure his
daughter-in-law, but his own
heart turned cold with that
message. 1t did ring true.
He turned it over to the de-
tectives. And he spoke fear
that all along had lain coiled,
terribly menacing, in his
thought:
you're sure about Burns,
are you?"

when presently, stealthily there
emerged from the shadows the

a dive for the bone-saw the

You can give your child a

you talk over the preferences

buying but one or two things at
