BY DIVIDEND
RATECUT
Western Electric Slash to
Mean "a Cents a Share
Less for the Stockholders
BY THE SPECTATOR


NEW YORK, June 1.-THE re-
duction in the annual rate Of
Western Electric Company from
81 to So a share means deduc-
tion of 80 cents a share from
earnings of the 18,500.783 shares
of American Telephone and Tele-
graph common stock now out
standing.
The parent company holds
$500, ,493 shares, or 1894 per cent,
of the capital of its manufactur-
ing affiliate. As a 81 dividend
was paid on March 81 by West
ern Electric, however, American
Telephone and Telegraph will re-
ceive only the equivalent of "a
cents q share less this year on its
investment.
To Last Few Weeks
In a study of the automobile
tire industry. Standard Statistics
points out that the recently in
creased rate of tire production
under the impetus of anticipated
summer replacement demand,
probably will continue for several
weeks longer.
1t is not expected, however,
that aggregate casing business
for the full current year will
equal the 1880 total.
AS regards the earnings out
look, the survey shows that the
low volume Of demand early this
year reduced prices and moderate
inventory depreciation are ex-
pected to result in earnings for
the first half of 1881 we'll below
those for the like 1880 period.
See Pickup Soon
1t is altogether likely, though,
that recent cost reductions and
the practical elimination of the
heavy raw material losses suf-
fered last year will permit
more favorable comparison for
the second six months. There
fore, barring unpredictable price
reViSionS, it is probable that mod
crate improvement over the def
cit levels of 1890 will be recorded
for the full year 1881.
In conclusion. Standard Stats
tics holds that although tire
company shares are sharply de-
flated, commitments in any of
the issues at this time are not
advised.
The present competitive prac-
tices in the trade do not permit
a conservative valuation of long
term prospects, and the outlook
for early future earnings is not
conducive to any near-term SuS-
tanned recovery in quotations.

Cotton Gro1Uth FAVORED

The Government weather re-
port today shows favorable con-
ditions in nearly all parts of the
cotton belt, with temperatures
nearly normal in all sectors.
In the Texas area the condi-
ton and stand Of cotton was
fair with replanting nearly COM

progress was fair to very good,
with cultivating and chopping

Growth Seen Good
Central States of the belt re-
ported fairly good growth. al
though in some sectors there
were complaints of poor stands
and lateneSs.
Growth was poor in some
parts of Tennessee, while dry

are only fair in Georgia, due
mostly to lack of moisture. Prog
reSs in the Carolinas was mostly
good with certain local areas
reporting only fair progress.
Corn Crop Good
The corn crop Jared better by
the weather. The central valley
areas were visited by timely
rains. In the Western sectors,
however, progress was slow be-
cause of the hardness Of the soil.
Warm weather is needed in
almost all parts Of the corn belt,
it was said.
Winter wheat was excellent IN

vest favored in many States.

Cooperation Urged

Let employers, therefore, and
employed join in their plans and eff
forts to overcome all difficulties and
obstacles, and let them be aided in
this wholesome endeavor by the wise
measures of the public authority
'The great wage-cutting concerns
have not acted democratically but like
dictators in deciding upon and order
ing the reductions. If their move was
the right one, they have no means of
knowing it, for they have not taken
their employees into counsel and they
have not asked for the cooperation of
government in such union-manage-
ment bargaining and cooperation.
They have consistently opposed inter-
vention to solve the labor problem
They are non-union concerns and have
long fought free organization of la
Dor. They are of the type that the
encyclical described when it sail with
criminal injustice they denied the in
nate right of forming associations to
those who needed them most for self
protection against oppression"

their previous buying power, so far
as income was concerned. The others
had on the average a reduced buying
power of about 12.1 per cent less.
Living Costs Fall
Another factor to be considered is.
the decrease in the cost of living, or
the increase in the purchasing power
of the dollar. Taking the index of
the cost of living, based upon the
family budget as determined by the
Bureau of Statistics, it is clear that
there had been a reduction in the
average cost of living of 1902 in
June, 1929, to 1903 in June, 1881, or
1919 points, which is approximately
III per cent reduction in the cost of
living, during that period.
An apparent loss in wage rate of
12.1 per cent, on the part of the work
ers still employed, with reduction
in the cost of living of only 11.7 per
cent, does not Justify the claim of
the wage cutters that there has been
such cheapening in the cost of liv-
ing as to justify the wage cuts that
are being forced on the workers, as
matter of fact.
However, the line are more nearly
parallel, if we may judge from the
above indications, than had been
feared.
Displacement of Workers
The total wages paid in 1929
amounted to $11,421 100000, as
shown by the census of manufacturers
figures given for the averages of such
data. The net displacement of work
ers amounting to 1853 per cent would
reduce the number of workers by g.
353 900 in manufacturing only. The
total reduction in wages paid would
be 80 per cent of the 1929 total, OF
$4,454,0 100000.

RAILROAD UNIONS
TO ASK CONGRESS

Twenty-One Organizations
Announce Legislation to
Shorten Wcrk Day and

Cleveland, O. (ILNS)-T -Twenty-one
railroad labor organizations will ask
congress to pass legislation shorten
ing the work day and work week as
measure of unemployment relief, d.
B. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, has just announced.
Action will be sought at the coming
session.
Robertson, who heads special COM
mittee of the 21 groups, said the
specific plan to be presented to con-
gress will not be made until national
study of the railroad labor situation
now in progress has been completed.
Mr.. Robertson explained that the
decision to take the relief program to
congress was the result of refusals by
railroad officials to discuss the prob
lem with the brotherhoods in joint
conference.
owe have made no decision as to
what effect shorter hours should have
upon wages" Robertson said. eve
wanted to thrash that matter out in
Joint session with the railroads, but
they were unwilling to meet us, and
so the wage question remains unset
tied.
Cali of the 81 organizations are
agreed, however" Mr.. Robertson said,
"that shorter working hours and a
shorter working week are the only
means by which the unemployed rail
road men can be put back to work" !"
He estimated the number of the broth
erhood' unemployed at 100000.
A further contributing cause to the
decision to take an unemployment re-
lief program to congress, he said, was
the rapid depletion of the brother
hoods relief funds.
The survey now being made will at
tempt to obtain every important bit
of data available to show the results
of the present situation and the pos
sible outcome of tentative relief
plans.

Baltimore Minimum Wage
Case Blocked By Court

Baltimore, Md.-Baltimore organiz-
ed labor was defeated in the first
stage of its attempt to affirm the
validity of the municipal charter pro-
vision making it necessary for con-
tractors on municipal work to pay at
least the current minimum wage by
a decision of Judge Eugene O'Dunne
that the indictments against certain
contractors were not specific enough.
The indictments charged five con-
tractors with violating the minimum
wage rate provision. but did not name
the laborers whom it was alleged
the contractors paid less than the
current wage nor on what work they
were employed.
Judge O'Dunne held these defects
made the indictments faulty. The
states attorneys office is considering
carrying the cases to the court of
appeals.
