BONDS IRREGULAR.
IN QUIET MARKET
u. S. Government Long, Term
Group Is Firm-Foreign
List Strong.
BY r. III. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 30.-Bonds wer'
irregular today in quiet trading. De.
clines of to IL points in a few
speculative railroad issues were offset
by advances in others of the same group
and by the firmness of the high grade
corporation list. United States Govern
ment long-term bonds were steady
Foreign dollar issues were generally
strong.
The market opened with heavy
tone. Sharp reactions in cotton apd
other commodities and the lower open
ing of stocks were reflected in third
grade bonds such as Erie refunding IS
Allegheny Cooperation IS, Chesapeake
Corporation SIS, Rock Island 4Iss and
Southern Railway As. These losses were
balanced by sharp advances in Nickel
Plate IS, the payment of which is be-
lieved assured by loans granted the road
by the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, and in the issues Of the St
Louis-Saf Francisco. where Wall Street
believes q receivership will be averted
and the September / interest on the
consolidated mortgage bonds paid.
Bonds of concerns connected with the
motor industry, such as United States
Rubber IS, Goodyear IS. Goodrich 6'
and those of some oil companies ran
up to new high prices for the year
This reflected an early upturn in mo-
tor car stocks. Steel issues were frac-
tionally lower.
High-grad rails, industrials and
utilities remained close to their highs
of the year. The bond pool formed
June /, which invested heavily in high.
AA 1T G~r& k1r
shows substantial profit in them, has
but these offerings have been well taken
by banks and investment trusts.
United States Government issues
were firm. The Treasury's latest offer
ing Of 9l-day bills was oversubScribed
nearly five times on a 1928 per cent an
nual bank discount basis. or not far
from the lowest figure at which the
Treasury has ever borrowed.
Latest opinions from Government
bond circles are that the September Is
financing of the Treasury will consist
Of flve-year bonds carrying 3K per
cent coupon. In view of the cheap
rates at which the Treasury can bor-
row on short term bills and notes, the
issue will probably be for only moder-
ate amount, say s500,000,000. with the
rest consisting Of and IL month notes.
The British treasury has announced
the repayment of f140, 100000 of Az
per cent treasury bonds and 100000
of Az per cent war loan bonds. This
notice, which is three months affair.
will make the payment Of these bonds
coincide with the repayment of the
unassented war loan SIS. The success
of the recent war loan conversion. COM
bined with today's announcement and
the statement that payment will be
made September 10 of the balance of
the French credit extended to the Brit
ish treasury last year. has given a
flip to the English market. Sterling
quotations were firm. British 512S,
Australian IS, and all Canadian issues
were fractionally better.
Other European bonds were steady.
South Americans were inactive.
Japanese issues we're lower following
the virtual embargo erected in India
against Japanese cotton goods.

WORK SCHEDULES
ARE REARRANGED
Plant Executives Adopt New
Plan to Reduce Unem-
pIoyment.
NEW YORK August 3o-Iarpe cor

NEW YORK, August 30.-Large cor
porations are tackling the problem Of
spreading available employment among
their loyal forces. In some instances,
the results have been described as un-
usually effective in preserving the
morale and, in many cases, the actual
livelihood Of the workers.
A shorter working day. shorter
week, a stagger system of labor and
vacations without pay-these are some
OF the several different methods by
which industry is attempting to cope
with the unemployment emergency
which, many executives believe, is tram
STORY
The American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. decided early in the depres-
sion to maintain wages at previous
levels and was able, in the case of most
OF its employees, to hold their forces on
f1ve-day-a-week plan.
Work Divided.
Practically all employees Of the Bell
system, including the Western Electric
Co. are now working less than full
time. with a maximum of 40 hours a
week. This applies to executives as well
adopting the f1ve-day week at points
Standard Oil of New Jersey, whose
president, Walter c. Teagle, regards the
matter OF providing employment as
possibly the most important problem
before the Nation as a whole, has split
up It's work in such a way that the
greatest possible number of names are
kept on the pay roll.
Inc oil company, after two years of
experience with the shorter working
week, believes that the success OF the
plan has been proven. It began first bv
adopting the five-day week at points,
where. because Of sharp falling off of
business, wholesale discharge of en-
pioyeS seemed inevitable. Later. it ex-
tended the plan to include all workers,
even in those places where there was
no oversupply of employees. This meant
taking on additional men. Last July
all domestic companies of the petroleum
corporation were placed on a five-day
week.
The United States Steel Corporation,
largest OF its kind in the world, also
split up the amount of available en-
ployment among its thousands of
workers. In those cases where the
steel organization did not have any
tions SUFFICIENT to keep their employees
in bare living, credit was extended so
that food could be bought, rent paid
and necessary clothing purchased. 1t
has spent some $1,000, 900 on direct re-
lief Of this character.
"Scotch Vacations"
Until recently Wall Street has been
among the leading unemployment suf-
ferers and many large investment bank
ing and brokerage offices had cut their
STATS to one-quarter their 1929 size. TO
meet the contingency. the financial dis
trict decided to try the so-called
Scotch vacation" whereby employees
worked three weeks and took a vaca-
ton in the fourth week without pay.
The payless-vacation week system did
much to hold many of the larger stats
together, although 1t necessarily worked
hardships on many employees of the
financial sector. with the recent stock
market upturn the brokers and bank
ers were able to return many Of their
employees to full-tinne positions.
