 Exceptions are made on lines be- tween the United. States. Canada, and Latin American countries.
 All other existing "collect' ar engagement of Western Union, Commercial Cables International Telephone and Telegraph com- pany) and the Radio Corporation Of America are to be definitely can cclled as of August l.
 The Western Union company's announcement said:
 With the decline in value of the United States dollar abroad, the continuance of collect arrange ments represents a distinct loss, since foreign telegraph administra- tons require settlement of inter- national accounts on Q gold basis. Circumstances necessitate cancel lation as of August l, of existing collect arrangements, and indefin- ite suspension of further collect arrangements respecting inbound and outbound messages between the United States and Great Bri- tain and Ireland. Europe and be- yond, Hawaii, the Philippines, Dutch East Indies, China, Japan and Australia.
 During the interim. no further collect arrangements will be made. All cable companies are taking sim far action"
 The company explained that &C., ceptance of domestic messages col lcct, to or from Canada and New foundland. would not be prohibit cd, but that cable messages filed between those countries and the continent would not be handled collect.
 Of the companies involved, the Western Union was the only one to issue formal statement, although officials of Commercial Cables and the Radio Corporation of America, said their concerns adhered to the new agreement.

GOOD INCREASE
 IN BUSINESS IS
 SEEN BY REPORT
During June and Early July It Reached Its Highest Level Since April, 1881

Washington July 26 (UP) - Business activity in June and early July reached it's highest level since April, 1881. federal reserve board figures showed today. Industrial production in June was s9 per cent of the 1923-25 average, compared with 77 per cent in May and the low of 56 per cent in July, 1882. Employment and payrolls gained, but failed to keep pace with the sensational increase in industrial output. Factory employment in June was 64.8 per cent of the 1925 25 average, against 60.6 per cent in May and 60 per cent year ago. Similar gains were made in pay rolls.
 President William Green of the American Federation of Labor at the same time reported that more than 100000 of the unemployed have found jobs since March, leaving well over 11.000,000 per- sons still without work" Declaring that the rate of gain in the first part of July was Considerably less than in June, Green em- phasized that Eve have as yet made only small dent on the problem of re-employment. What we can do in the months ahead will depend on the cooperation given the president in his program"

 Remarkable Events

Then, too, business news showed a leveling off in several lines. The Iron Age found steel production at 57 per cent, against 58 per cent week ago, while electricity out put up 15.4 per cent from the 1892 week made a porer showing than the preceding week which showed a percentage gain of 16.4 per cent. Car loadings already have turned down, and some of the railroad earnings reports are poor.
 Individual reports of corpora tions led to selective buying and selling throughout the list. United States Steel corporation reported net loss of $S,627,367, in the sec- ond quarter and the common stock was depressed more than a point at the opening. It never got above it's previous close throughout the session. Other steel shares were depressed with the leader.
 General Motors was in demand all day and so were other motors General Motors had a better than expected earnings statement for the first half, earning a cent above the annual dividend requirements of $1 8 share. Chrysler gained more than points and at one time Auburn was up more than points.
 The mining issues were enliyen- ed by a 31-point rise in homestakc mining and advances ranging to more than points in others of the gold group. Coopers were given a whirl in the late edalings with Cerro de Pasco leading. That issue at one time was up nearly 5 points. Other coppers gained factions to more than a point.
 Railroad issues were mixed throughout the day. Union Pacific eased o: points and loses were noted in several others. New York Central and Pennsylvania rallied near the close. Chesapeake & Ohio held a small gain.
 Rubber shares were bid up a point or mode on a general rise of 10 per cent in prices by leading tire makers. Oils picked up late in the day. Tobaccos were up frac- tionally. Chemicals held well af- though allied sold off point. Canada dry was up more than points, and the wet group to which 1t is now connected, made corre- spending gains until near the close when profit-taking reduced gains.
 Award of shipbuilding contracts by the navy department aided that division. J. I. Case jumped 4 points in the farm equipment group when wheat rose more than cents a bushel. Celanese rallied to a g. point gain late in the day in the textiles. Building issues were firm.
 Sales totaled 2,040,000 shares, against 3,540,000 yesterday. Curb sales were 3S0,000 against 5S8,0OO yesterday.

New York, July 26--(UP)- Stocks drifted about in a dull ses- sion to-day and ended irregular in Q narrow range.
 There were several periods of strength in the curtailed session-- trading is now and will be until further notice restricted to 3 hours from II a. m. to 2 p. m.-but none brought out sufficient buying to keep 8 rally moving.
 Strength in grains tended to aid the cotton market where prices firmed up from an early decline, but apparently had no effect on stocks. A frmer. dollar might have been a deterrent to long com- but of more importance was the fear that considerable amount of stock still was over hanging the market as a result of the grain market mixup in the west .

Gates Plan in First Public
Address.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, August 23.-In her first
public address since assuming Office,
Mrs. Lucille Foster McMillin, Demo-
cratic member of the Civil Service Com
mission said here today that there are
approximately 10000 important Govern
ment positions, now subject to political
preferment, which should instead be
filled by promotion.
Mrs. McMillin's speech. an argument
for extension of the merit system, was
delivered at the observance Of Civil
Service Employees day. in the Hall OF
Science at the Century of Progress ex-
position. Gov. Horner of Illinois, Mayor
Kelly Of Chicago and other notables
were among those invited. Federal en-
ployes in Chicago had been relieved OF
their duties to attend and greet Com
missioner McMillin.
Has Aided Government.
Recalling that the Civil Service sys-
tenn was established just half CEN
tury ago. Commissioner McMillin said
that it followed SO years of steady
decline in the morale of Government"
while, to the contrary, the succeeding
50 years have witnessed an enlarge
ment, in the belief that a public Office
IS a public trust"
This change in the attitude toward
the administration of Government has
had a constant, If slow, growth, but it
is not yet by any means universal" she
continued. There are still many who
look upon the distribution Of Federal,
State and local Offices as largely party
matter. with the interests of the public
secondary"
Despite the progress, therefore. Mrs.
McMillin emphasized, there is work to
be done in the Federal service and
more in State and local governments"
Should Be Held Reward.
1T may surprise you" she continued.
''to know that the installation of a new
British government causes fewer than
100 changes in civil Offices. In the
United States Government more than
100000 places are excepted from COM
petition. These include approximately
10000 purely business officers,-officers
whose work is administrative and not
properly political These higher ad-
ministrative places should be held as
reward for work well done in the lower
levels. States and cities are for the
most part more backward"
The merit system. the speaker said,
''has four great objects economy in ad-
ministration, elimination of abuses, and
therefore publication Of government;
promotion Of pride and honor in public
Office and building of national charac-
ter" In the Government, she ampli-
fed. it has had a most beneficial
effect, in not only increased efficiency,
but also in reducing temptation to dis
honesty and graft"
Commissioner McMillin praised Presi-
dent Roosevelt as champion of Civil
h h4
been in advancement of the system In
this connection, she recalled the pro-
posal to put presidential postmasters
under Civil Service, which is to be laid
before the next Congress by the ad-
ministration.
