Castoria
made especially for
CHILDREN

children usually hate to take
medicine but every child loves the
taste of Castoria. And mothers like
its action-so gentle, yet so prompt
and effective.
Castoria is never failing comfort
to children and mothers alike be-
cause it was formulated expressly
for children-to correct their little
ills and upsets.
The beauty of it is you can give
Castoria to children of oil ages with
equally sure results. When baby's
cry warns of collie, few drops of
Castoria has him soothed; and free
from pain, he is asleep again in
jiffy.
In an older child when coated

stipation, a more liberal dose is

sounded a call to the members
of the American Iron and Steel
Institute to "sail into the job" of
improving economic conditions.
Schwab, president of the insti-
tute and chairman Of the board

Industry has gotten its second

ficiency" would lead business out
Of the depression. He continued:
"The improving of our credit

and the bankers is a fundamen-
tai step in the right direction.
"Fear has been lesSened.
There will be no collapse. The
sources of credit have been mo-
bilized and we shall pull
through"
Steps to Be Taken
Schwab listed the necessary
steps for improving conditions as
follows:
"A better financial structure,
which is now under way.
"A liquidation or extrava-
gances in business, including
prices, which has already taken
place in most line5 to an abnOr-

"a reduction in the cost Of

RAIL RATE RULE
BEAR|SH, SAYS
HANEY
Doubtful II Carriers Accept
Pool, and Next Move Seen
Is Attempted Wage Cuts
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University,
Bureau of Business Research


Bureau Of Business Research
The outstanding fact about the
rail rate decision is that 1t re-
fuses the request Of the railways.
1t rejects the request for O
"flat" and general advance in
rates.
It rejects the request for an
advance of is per cent, estimated
to amount to upwards of $400..
100000 a year.
Effect Is Bearish
It rejects the request for imme.
diate relief. Much time would be
required to make the commissions
proposals effective, even if &C.
cepted by the carriers).
To the extent, therefore, that
optimistic hopes have been built
on such wild dope" as a general
10 per cent advance, the decision
is beariSh.
The commission says to the
railways, if you will use any in.
crease in rates for the purpose
Of paying interest on the bonds
Of weak roads, We will allow you
to raise some rates. But many
rates you must not raise.
Check Is Strong
In no case must you raise a
rate more than 10 per cent. And
you must first work out tariffs
according to our plan, and sub
NIT them for our approval.
The decision, as expected, ex.
ceptS most important agricul-
tural products. 1t allows various
advances on important mineral.
and manufactured products, in
dollars per car or cents per 100
pounds.
The net result, it is estimated,
might add upwards of 100000.
600 to railway freight revenue.
This would be an average ad.
vance of only 3.3 per cent.
Wage Cuts Next
It is doubtful l.. the carriers
will accept the earnings-po-l i idea.
If they do not, they are back
where they started. excert that
they have the assurance that
the commission will listen sympa-
thetically to requests for indi.
vidual rate advances (and reduc-
tionSD.
Plainly, one outcome will be a
vigorous move toward reducing
the wages q railway employees.

Awaiting U. S. Steel Report
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-with
but three full trading sessions
remaining before U. S. Steel re-
leases its third quarter earnings
report next Tuesday afternoon, it
would be in keeping with market
, precedent to witness a generally
narrow trading affair in the
interval.
Thus, yesterdays moderately
reactionary tone on comparatively
light turnover did not create any
undue nervousness in speculative
circles.
Pause Is Welcomed
In fact, it was welcomed as a
necessary breathing spell, for so
long as the rail group continues
tC. sulk it would have been quite
q task to bid up other sections.
Observers are of the opinion
that too big a fuss is being made
over the disappointing decision
rendered by the Interstate Com
Hllerce Commission.
One of the interesting points in
the context was the statement
that the railroads were not worse
= off than other businesses, which
undoubtedly is true.
