107 COMPANIES
BETTER NETS

Aggregate net earnings of in
dustrial corporations which have
thus far reported for the second
quarter of 1881 make distinctly
better showing than had been
generally anticipated, according
to survey issued today by
Moody's Investors Service.
This preliminary compilation
shows profits for lot companies
which were 40.2 per cent higher
than in the preceding three
months, although 227 per cent
less than in the corresponding
period of, 1890.
Composite earnings of 1872 in
dustrials for the first six months
of the year totaled 1904, SOL 900,
decrease of 28.4 per cent from
1880, the analysis states.
The first-quarter net Of 38
utilities was OF per cent under
that of the initial three months
of 1880, but in April and May
the aggregate increased 2.7 per
cent as compared to the same
months last year.

come tax, of $2.116,329, which
compares with $1,870,540 for the
corresponding period of 1880, an
increase of over 13 per cent.
Increased earnings were due
to a larger volume of business
in the 129 branch offices in
operation at the beginning of
the period. to the opening of six
new offices, and to the mainten-
ance of sound operating policies,
despite a definitely more liberal
attitude toward its customers in
the past 18 months. The re-

IRON ACE NOTES
TRADE UPTURN

NEW YORK. July % 1N.SO.
An out-of-seaSon gain in ingot pro
duction, continued buoyancy IN
scrap and the decision OF Steel
CORPORATION directors to maintain
wage rates are regarded as con-
structive factors in an exceedingly
quiet iron and steel market, ac-
cording to the weekly summary OF
the Iron Age to be released to-
morrow.
Steel plant operations have in
creased at Cleveland, Buffalo,
Youngstown, and in the Wheeling
district, and ingot production for
the country at large now averages
80 per cent, as against 80 per
cent a week ago. The upturn has
come at an unusual time-mid-
summer-and follows an un-
broken decline since March.
The closing of the Ford plants
from July 27 through August and
the sharply reduced schedules of
other motor car makers next
month does not augur we'll for
automotive consumption Of steel
in the immediate future.
The Iron Age composite price
for steel scrap has again ad-
vanced, being now $9.42 a gross
ton against 1926 a week ago and
$9.08 a month ago. The finished
steel and pig iron composites are
unchanged, at 2.116 cents
pound and 1854 ton, respect

RAIL LABOR PAY
CUTS To Be
FOUGHT
Executives Association at
Meeting Here Aids Freight
Rate Rise, Hits Wage Drop

Railroad labor was on record
today as favoring an increase in
freight rates where the facts
disclose that such increases are
justifiable," but it was emphatic
ally opposed to bringing proposed
wage reductions into the ques-
ton Of increased freight rates.
The Railway Labor Executives
Association, representing Fl rec
Ognized railroad labor OrganiZa-
tiOnS, issued a statement setting
forth that unfortunately the
question of the reaSOnableneSs Of
railway wages has been injected
into the pending proceedings"
Jurisdiction Denied
The statement said the Inter
state Commerce Commission bad
not been given jurisdiction to
determine the reaSonableneSs OF
railway wages, and continued:
"a debate before the commits
sion between railway labor and
railway managements upon the
reasOna blenesS of wages would
be out of place.
'Tt is not true that railway
wages are high. The majority
of men in railway employment
have not earned for years
wages equal to those of men
engaged in similar work, calling
for similar skill, in private IN
duStrieS. There are several
hundred thousand railway men
who have been out of work for
over year."
The statement concludes:
"An industry that has a con-
stantly declining labor cost has
no just claim to reduce wages.
The railway worker today is
producing more than twice the
service of 20 years ago, but
his wages will not purchase
anything like twice as much of
other services and products.
The cost of labor to the rail-
roads is less for service rem
dered than ever before in his
tory"
Ruled Out BY Brainerd
Evidence as to railroad wage
levels would not be pertinent"
to the petition of the railroads
for a IS per cent increase in
freight rates, Ezra Bralnerd,
chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. said today.
Even if relevant, Brainerd said.
such evidence, under the circum-
stances in the rate-increase case,
would be impracticable for the
commission to consider in connec'
ton with the matter directly
brought. in issue by the railroads
petition.

balls and swinging clubs injure
many persons each year, most of
whom retaliate by asking large
judgments.
Insurance Needed
Few golfers realize their legal
responsibility for any injury or
death they may cause as a result
of their direct participation in q
round Of golf.
A combination golf insurance
policy may be purchased that
will pay for the defense of all
suits arising as a result Of a golf
game. In addition to protecting
the golfer against the financial
risk such a policy also provides
him with insurance while he is
an active participant or a spec.
tator of a game of golf, should
he suffer injuries himself.
A combination golf insurance
policy enjoying popularity with
golfers this year will pay up to
$1,000 for property damage
caused by the insured; up to
$4,000 in case the insured in
jures any person, and, if the
insured Injuries two or more per
sons. coverage up to $4,000.
Such a contract also covers
the insured's entire equipment,
golf clubs. bag. etc, for loss by
fire, larceny, lightning, tornado,
flood. etc, up to 5000.
Another valuable feature is the
accident protection for the in,
Sured. Should he suffer injuries
on the golf course, resulting in
his death, $4,000 will be paid to
his beneficiaries, with the same
amount being paid to himself for
the loss of sight of both eyes,
or $4,000 for the loss of one eye.
The yearly cost for such a policy
is $40 or SIS for three years.
Mishaps Usually Serious
Accidents on a golf course are
as a rule very serious, and un-
avoidable. If you are protected
with a golfers liability policy,
all that it is necessary for you
to do, in case of an accident, IS
to notify the insurance company
A golfer should carry this IN.

personal accident insurance ne
is carrying, as the liability and

feature of a golf policy, although

accident" clauses in a combina
ton policy are also desirable.
