The salary increases provided In, the

budget and confront Washington tax
payers with a $1.90 or So tax levy, or
an increase in the Federal Govern

You are planning burden on the
wage earnerS Of Washington by any,
thing that adds to the budget" declared
Mr.. Simmons. THE real taxpayers

Mr.. Simons quoted extensively from
statistics prepared by the Federal Blu

police and flremen in other cities, ex-
planning that the wage scale proposed
In the bill Is entirely out of line" with
salaries In other cities Of comparable

be justified.
Opposes Higher Level.
Chairman Lampert interrupted Mr..
Simmons during his testimony to ask II
he was opposed to the pay bill, and he
replied, i don't think the committee is
justified in granting salaries out of
comparison with those in other cities.
l am not attempting to tell the COM
mittee, however, what its recommends
lions should be-"
Representative Palmer, Republican of
Missouri, member of the subcommittee,
said he favored the bill even II It did
bring about an increase in the tax rate
GOOD salaries, he pointed out, mean
good police and fire departments.
The bill would raise salaries all along
the line in both the Police and Fire
Departments. The heads of the depart
ments would receive $4,000 a year in
stead Of $500. Privates would start
at $1,000 and would be given an an
nual increment of 500 for eficient
service until maximum of So. 400 is
reached. Salaries of privates now range
from a minimum of $1,000 to a maxi
mum Of $2,1O0.

BUSINESS UPTURN
IS seen BY WRIGHT
Economist Believes improved
Conditions Are Indicated
After End of July.

No one Is courageous enough TO fore.
cast an immediate broad upward move
ment In stock prices. but 1t Is felt that
although more new lows may be es.
tablished, investors should not be
stampeded into selling good securities
held for long-pull price appreciation
according to Gage p. Wright, New York
business and investment counselor
writing In the latest issue of the Bust
ness Economic Digest.
Underlying fundamentals bearing on
the future course of security prices and
business are not considered by most au-
thortties to have altered during the last
few weeks" says Mr.. Wright, who con-
tinues. Although the course of business
activity Is currently near, or perhaps q
little below the bottom established In
December, the various authorities gen.
orally continue to forecast that an up.
turn in business will make its appear
ance during the latter half of the year
after which time 1t Is believed that an
approximately normal volume should
prevail. Meantime, we may expect the
course of business to present an unsat-
isfactory appearance during the Sum.
ing the time when monthly figures,
compared with those Of a year ago, will
look more favorable because of the
downward trend prevailing during the
latter half of last year. During the
first half of the current year, monthly
figures have been compared with the
corresponding months of 1929 which
represented periods of unusual activity
Therefore, 1t is reasonable to suppose
that the unfavorable psychological ef-
feet on business executives. created by
the comparisons made with last year,
will soon be removed.
There has hardly been an occasion
during the last six or seven years when
advisory reports have been so uniformly
confident as to the future course of Sc
curity prices. In the few instances
where authorities are inclined to be
cautious or pessimistic, they recommend
that Sufficient funds be invested in COM
mon stocks to establish and maintain
an important long position. However,
there appears to be no one so courageous
as to forecast an immediate broad up,
ward movement in stock prices and
there seems to be feeling that during
the next month or six weeks the market
Is likely to exhibit churning movement
with little progress either on the up OF
down side; and, even though more new
lows may be established, 1t Is most en-
phatically believed that investors hold,
ing good securities should not liquidate.T

STEEL PRODUCTION
DECLINES FURTHER
Lack of Demand Causes Slowing Up
of 0utput-Prices
Unchanged.

Cushioned only by excellent backloGs
in line pipe in the Pittsburgh and
Youngstown districts and by moderate
backlogs in ship plates in Eastern Penn
sylvania, finished steel demand and pro-
duction have retreated further this
week, says the Iron Trade Review,
Cleveland.
Current requirements of majority Of
steel consumers are lighter, and interest
in the third quarter is negligible, espe-
cially in those districts placing major
reliance upon automotive, railroad and
farm implement business.
Smokestacks of some Mahoning VAL
ley sheet mills already are rusty, and
July and August promise to be the low
est months of the year in automotive
demand, largely because of shutdowns
contemplated by Ford and other impor-
tant interests.
Freight car builders at Chicago have
practically worked of their orders, and
have inquiry for only 5000 cars before
them. Implement manufacturers ap!
proach inventory time with large stocks.
In the past few days there has been q
noticeable depression of sentiment In
quarters where week or two ago some
hopes for improvement were voiced.
Steel prices continue irregular and
vulnerable to concessions. but the lack
of buying and consequent pressure gives
the market Semblance of stability
Producers, however, feel that prices in
the main will 60 little lower, and while
willing to contract a short distance into
the third quarter, are avoiding long
term commitments that would preclude
taking advantage of any strength that
developed late next quarter. Some quo
tations are not far above costs.
Though the price situation still con-
tains soft spots, the lack of buying
cloakS them. AS result the Iron Trade
Review composite is unchanged this
week at 1882. It's average for May
was $SS.73 and for last June 1864.
