The Association believes that
uniformity in the provisions COW

Annual Report Of President
Pledges Continued Effort
for Saturday HaIf-HoIiday

SEATTLE. Sept. 7.-Character-
izing the Wood Amendment, pro-
hibiting salary increases as a
vicious and unfair restriction,
Luther C. Steward. president of
the National Federation of Fed.
eral Employees, today urged its
defeat, in his report to the
eleventh convention of the FEEDER
alton.
Three major legislative enact.
ments were outlined by Mr.. Stew.
ard in his address to the 200
delegates to the convention. They
are liberalization of retirement
laws; the Brookhart salary act
and the year round half-holiday
Referring to the latter, Mr.. Stew
ard said:
In spite of the mandatory
provisions of the Saturday half
holiday act we have, in a num-
ber of instances, been confronted
with administrative subterfngeS,
evasions and outright defiance of
law. We shall continue our un-
remitting efforts to see to it
that the administration of the
Saturday half-holiday act COM
plies with the plain provision of
the statute. some administrative
officers to the contrary notwith.
standing.
The retirement law of 1880 is
admitted by all as a striking ad.
vance in the direction of a per.
fected retirement system, Mr..
Steward said. He pointed out
how the Brookhart act overcame
defects in the original Welch act,
which made it possible TO an
employe who had but one wage
increase under the latter to have
an additional increase. The Brook
hart act made reductions in sala-
ries impossible, Mr.. Steward said.
Session on Ship
Following the executive meet
ing Saturday, the formal floor
sessions opened today. and opti-
mism was expressed on all sides
that the convention would clarity
q program of civil service reform
which would gain favorable sup
port in the coming Congress.
TomorrOw'S session will be neId
on board a steamer which will
take the delegates up Puget Sound
to picturesque Victoria. The trip
each way requires several hours,
and the delegates can thus enjoy
q water trip vet transact business
at the same time.
Drives about the mountain and
lake section, with theater parties
for the women delegates and a
banquet Wednesday are also on
the entertainment program.
Steward Report Due
Officials of Seattle welcomed
the delegates at this mornings
session, expressing the hope that
the federation's agenda would re-
suit in much benefit in later
legislation.

pected by Government economists to ac-
celerate Immediately the volume Of
United states exports.
The foreign trade of this country has
fallen 70 the lowest level since 1914,
with the total~for the first nine months
Of this year showing q decline of 80 per
cent under the corresponding period of
last year. This Is held by the Commerce
Department to be dhActly attributable
TO the uncertainty IN International re-
lations. which have now regained o
semolance of order.
Cumulative figures for the first nine
months show a favorable balance Of
$224 900 900 as compared with the IA
vorable balance of 1851 zoo, 900 estab-
nshed for the same months Of 1880.
The low level Of trade has been accen-
tuated by q much greater decline In thu
value Of goods shipped out than by q
decrease in our purchases Of foreign
merchandise.
The favorable balance of trade tins
far established this year has been in
sufnctent to Offset new foreign capital

$254 .000. 900. The same situation existed
last year. when $3.50, 000, 900 departed
from this country to aid fiotations Of
other nations.
Thus 1t Is seen that In addition To
failing to offset foreign financing, the
favorable balance left no funds to meet

as tourists disbursements, shipping

STOCKS.
Stocks VS.. Bonds
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Because as a rule interest payments
on bonds are better secured than divi-
bends on stocks and because bonds for
many years have been rated more con-
sentative investments than stocks, it is
not to be inferred that all bonds are
tons. In each individual case the
security depends first on the property
back OF the bond or the stock and
second on the earning power repre-
scented.
Generally the market fluctuations in
bonds are more moderate than those
in stocks, but that rule also is subject
TO many exceptions. There are plenty
OF bonds which are purely speculative
and which are subject TO market swings
fully as wide as any stock. Do not
buy q security simply because ii is a
bond in name or In fact and do not
reject stock simply because il repre-
s fixed charge.
Each case must be considered on its
merits. always bearing in mind the
fundamental distinction between bonds
sTId stocks, namely, that the interest on
the bonds must be paid, whereas the
dividend on the stock is optional with
the board Of directors. There are
stocks and many Of them which have
paid dividends so long that there is no
reasonable doubt about their continuing
TO pay and these deservedly claim a
high Investment rating. There are
stocks which have no bonds ahead %
them and they, too. often are desirable
investments just as safe as bonds.
Al of this does rot change the fact
that any investment list whlel con talns
only stocks IS uues'a aced. TIE proper
proportion TO be maiu5a ned bsSE-een
the two depends on TIE requirements OF
the individual investor. but it is an IN
sound practice 70 leave out bonds en-
tfrely.
