city workers must be allowed fresh
meat instead of merely salt pork and
stew meat as at present. The jobless
also demand that city workers be al
lowed clothing and fuel as well as

these demands, and sent a commit

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, october 21.-Interest
in the bond mrket today centred pri-
marily on the railroad list because Of

A long list of rails sustained fractional

never as weak as their respective stocks.
Following the Interstate Commerce
Commissions decision on the rate in

EARNINGS OF UTILITIES
CLOSE TO 1880 LEVEL

Although the outlook for increased
use of electricity in the months i'm
mediately ahead is not good. there is
nothing to suggest that growth in do
mestic consumption will be halted even
temporarily, according to the Brook
mire Economic Service, which points
out that the increase in population
growth and additional installations of
such household appliances as electric
refrigerators, washing machines and
radios assure the continued growth of
household use.
From the standpoint of profits, it is
added, the leading utility companies
are benef1ting from declining commod-
ity prices, and this fact. with their
rates generally remaining fixed, will IN
many instances enable them to offset
largely any declines in business and
leave their 1881 earning power close to
1880 level.

SH|PSTEAD URGES
NOTES TO PAY DEBT
Senator Prefers Treasury
Issue to Hoover's $780,.
100000 Plan.

Senator Shipstead of Minnesota,
Farmer -Laborite, last night proposed a
government issue Of r1on-interest bear-
ing Treasury notes as legal tender for
payment Of public and private debts as
a better means of relief than President
Hoover's plan for a $500 900 900 recon-
Struction corporation
In my opinion said Senator Ship
stead speaking over Nationwide radio
hook-up a better way for expanding
the currency than that proposed by this
Government Banking Corporation would
be for the Federal Government to issue
necessary money in the form of non
interest bearing Treasury notes, max
ing them legal tender, for the payment
of debts, public and private. to be re-
tired after period Of years through
taxation as bonds are retired. This
would prevent possible loss to the gov
eminent that might be sustained by
having to acquire assets that cannot be
collected under the proposed plan now
before Congress.
He said President Hoover's recon-
mended corporation would mean cur
rency imitation of S1,5O0,O0O,0 900. The
organization is designed to help loosen
frozen banking assets beyond the pow
ers Of the Federal Reserve banks and
aid railroads and life insurance COM
panies.
Asserting the outstanding problem
confronting the world is how interna-
tional, public and private debts can be
paid, business restored and unemploy-
ment eliminated, Shipstead said extern
sion Of credit is not solution. He cited
the enhanced value Of gold and the de-
creasing value of other commodities
and contended a medium of exchange
must be restored in sufficient quantity
to break the present trade blockade.

Of rage.
But there is one way of getting on
with her. If you report what other

really believe that a woman like this
Office manager can make herself think
that when she is poking into the girls
affairs she is really helping them, and
when she is forcing them to work over
time she is keeping them out of
mischief
A woman like this does her employers
great deal of harm. She gets poor
work from the girls because she kills
all enthusiasm. She destroys something
in their spirit so that no matter how
hard they work they frequently get
less work done. Certainly their work
is not as good in quality. And with
such an Office manager girls are con-
tinually leaving and new girls coming
in, and everybody knows how much this
cuts down results.
Sometimes the boss likes an Office
manager of this kind. Sometimes he
himself is fooled by her and does not
realize what she is doing. But that's
very little help to the girls working in
the Office. They can't report the Office
manager to the boss without losing
their own jobs.
