SURVEY SHOWS

Julius H. Barnes, chairman Of

results Of a survey showing evi-

Definite indications Of stabiliza-

by the Barnes committee.
They were also impressed by
the "large amount Of new capital

While the report Of the Ma

in the business situation, there
were many lines where business
has turned the corner in recent
weeks.
The fact that there are ample
credit facilities to finance bust.
ness undertakings at reasonable
rates was stressed. The Barnes
report said:
"a number Of raw materials
have shown increases in price
from their low points, some Of
the low points being reached
within the last month and some
earlier.
"AmOng these materials are
commodities that are very Inn

NEEDED IN CURE
FOR BUSINESS /
Care of Unemployed Before
Winter Sets In Is Seen as
Necessary Protective Move
BY LESLIE GOULD


Jobs for a million this winter.
That is the task industrial,
business and civic leaders are
aggressively tackling today.
The way things are going now
this goal win be reached before
winter really sets in, but it viii
require the help of every indi-
vidual to put 1t over.
The Washington commission
heading the drive to relieve ur1-
employment estimates 100000
are out Of work in the United
States. While this figure is con-
servative, it is not as bad as it
seems on the surface.
Two Million Always Idle
Something few people realize is
that even In normally prosperous
times there are approximately
100000 out of work. In the
year 1927 the minimum unem.
ployed was 2,055, 900. In 1928 the
number Of unemployed was
slightly less.
To go back to a year Of depres-
sion for comparison: the mini
mum unemployment in 1921 was
4,27O,OO0, and in 1922 it was
3,441 900. Both Of these figures
are extremely conservative. but
even comparison with them shows
the present unemployment situa-
ton is considerably better than
1t was eight and nine years ago,
although the present situation is
pleny serious.
Taking the Washington COM
missions figures for this year and
deducting the unemployment Of
about two million in normal
times, leaves about 100000. OF
this number less than half are
in real want.
The other half comprises those
who have homes Of relatives to 60
to as havens until the storm
blows over, as it always does.
Many of these come from the
farms and smaller cities where
their parents have comfortable
homes.
5OO,OOO Must Have Job
This really leaves less than 700.-
900 for whom jobs must be OBJ
tanned, and in the final analysis
those In real want Of a job to
keep the soul alive will be found
somewhat under 100000.
A million jobs will bring real
relief, while 100000 will keep the
wolf from the door.
The Postoffice Department at
Christmas time is providing work
for 100000 for two weeks. This
is a help.
In New York a group Of Wall
Street financiers are raising a
fund Of $50, 900 each to give jobs
to 10000 throughout the winter.
In the smaller cities the same
thing Is being carried out. Up in
Elmira, N. Y, Fred Swan, preSi-
dent Of one of the banks, has
started the ball rolling for a
similar fund with a $4,000 con-
A few more Fred Swans and
the problem will about be solved.
It seems ridiculous that this
country Of all places should have
q half million or so people in
actual want because Of q recess
sion In business and a drop In
stock prices.
Plenty Of Cash
This year is not even compar-
able with past depresSions.
The banks Of the country are
literally bulging with money
which they are having a hard
time lending at profitable inter
est rates.
Corporations have the largest
cash SurpluSeS in their treasures
in their history, and so on down
the line.

Steel


United States Steel acted i'm

companied by renewed rumors
that directors may declare a $1-ex-
ira dividend today. Wall Street
generally believes the regular $1.75
payment will be made, influenced
by the estimated shrinkage in
earnings for the third quarter.
Yet, as pointed out here last
week, Steel will earn $40 this
year and could pay more than
81 comfortably.
An extra payment by Steel at
this time would probably help
things as an expression of conf.
dence' by the nations most power.
ful bankers in the fundamental
SoundneSs of the situation. Some
IN the Street, however, would
rather see this deferred, feeling
that it would be wasted bull am
munition right now.
American Radiator has been
under steady accumulation for
several months, despite the fact
earnings for the year will prob
ably fall short of the $50 divi-
dend by a considerable margin.
Some estimate net will be less
than 81 a share. Recent upturn
IN residential building, If con-
t1nued, will help the company.
Cash position is very strong and
the dividend is expected to be
maintained.

and officials deny both, it all
sums up the certainty that the
market action of Case will be
governed by the future course of
grain prices. At present ! am
told the stock continues to be
well bought on a scale.
I hear of better buying in Au-

inside. This despite the fact that
net for the third quarter will be
only about Is cents a share, I am
told. Auburn, however, more
than covered its 81 cash dividend

is some question whether the
