HIGHEST PRICE
SET BY STEEL
FOR YEAR
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S 0N.S0.
Behind another powerful and per-
sistent buying wave. United States
Steel, Westinghouse Electric.
Bethlehem Steel, the utility stocks
and other speculative favorites
pressed upward buoyantly today
to the highest prices Of the year.
Bullish forces in these stocks
swept aside all opposition and the
bears scrambled out with further
losses.
United States Steel asserted its
leadership early in the day, when
a strong buying wave carried the
old market bellwether above
1872. Westinghouse Jumped 8
points to l79 and Brooklyn Union
Gas 61a to 1891.
Laid to Professionals
In view Of the continued weak
ness in the grain and cotton mar
ketS, the unfavorable reports from
important employment circles and
the Indifferent progress in the re-
covery Of the oil, copper, textile
and other industries, Wall Street
was inclined to attribute today'S
new rise to the expert tactics Of
the professional bulls.
Brokerage houses continued to
report the refusal of "the public"
to come into the market in any
great numbers.

Closer relationships between
employer and employe are being
brought about as q result Of the
recession in business.
The employees are trying TO
bring about greater efficiencies
and savings. In return the en-
pioyer is doing all in his power
to maintain wares and give full
time employment. -
A good example Of this is fur
nished by the telegram Of Ward
Melville, head Of Melville Shoe
Co, to his store managers.
"YOur job and those Of 9TH
ers In your store are assured"
he wired.
Mr.. Melville in his wire urged
his employees not to restrict their
purchases, but to continue to
buy in. normal quantities, just the
same as they always had done.
:, If your job is safe there is no
need to restrict buying. is Mr..
Melville,s theory. Following along
this same line, the less restric-
ton in buying, the sooner busi-
ness will turn up.
Raises Fear Spectre .
In contrast to this policy Of
Mr.. MelvilleB is the editorial
that appeared in the house organ
Of large New York financial In
stitution. After pointing out that
a man out, Of work may tenn
porarily have difficulty In re-
establishing himself, this 1edi.
torial went on:
"Sucl1 q condition should
force each one Of us-we who
+; have our jObs-tO take stock
Of himself. II one Of us il
careless, there are dozens Of
careful men hammering at the.
doors for his job. II one Of us
is disIOyal and disgruntIed, he
should. remember that q va
cancy in his position would be
hailed rs . GOdsend by many .
man who has drawn no salary
for months on end"
The editorial closes with the
words:
"a job Is q job, nowadays"
No coincidence is the threat Of
a price war from the Royal Dutch
Shell interests, just as the Amer
ican Petroleum Institute-trade
association Of the leading U. S.

ARMS GUT
PLAN SOUGHT

Army reductions under q treaty
providing two limitation systems,
one through the budget, the
other direct, appeared to. State
Department officials today as
the only way out Of the difficult
ties facing the preparatory dis
armament commission meeting in
Geneva. X -
Pointing to the continued de-
mand for q budgetary limitation
system by some nations and the
stand Of Hugh s. Gibson, head
of the. American Delegation, for
direct limitation, they declared
privately o dualSystem treaty ives
the only thing which would pre-
vent failure. ..,
Gibson stated he saw no chance
Of q budgetary limitations pact
ever being accepted by the United
States. America has no desire
to prevent world wide arms re
ductionS by remaining exempt
from q budgetary treaty. he said,
and explained this Government
is not alone in objecting TO such
an agreement. H. f
Prior to suggesting q two-patt
treaty. Gibson asserted that
while this country differed with
others as to, the means Of effect
