Accountants Face
Important Task in
Industry Control

Before the National Association OF
Cost Accountants at the annual meet
ing in New York, Nelson Gaskill OF
Washington explained the application
Of the national industrial recovery act
to industry. He is president Of the
Lead Pencil Institute and formerly was
member of the Federal Trade Com
mission.
He declared the cost accountant must
assist by furnishing accurate data
needed to coordinate business activity
by industrial groups as contrasted with
independent action by individual estab-
lishments.
Mr.. Gaskill stated that the recovery
act allows industries considerable free
dom in rectifying unsatisfactory con-
ditions brought about by unscrupulous
competitive practices.
Wage rates, commodity prices, and
profit margins, Mr.. Gaskill said, must
be so related as to maintain a proper
balance between purchasing power and
industrial production at all times.
Mr.. Gaskill expressed the view that
trade associations and other industrial
groups submitting codes of fair compe-
tition as provided for in the act would
find it advantageous to develop uniform
methods of accounting to be followed
by all establishments in the group.
Mr. Gaskill declared that in negotia-
tions involving upward adjustments in
wages, labor must recognize the cost
problems involved. Every increase in
costs has a bearing upon the price of
the product sold and unless such a
price is reasonable, consumption will
be curtailed, and anticipated increases
in employment and in pay rolls cannot
be realized, he said.
Members of the Washington chapter
attending the convention included Will
liam H Churchill, c. M. Clark. A. B.
Gunnarson, John Moran, Elizabeth
Morris and H. S. Meyer.

NEW YORK, June 17.-With the re-

2212 per cent reduction in basic wage
rates. the cost of transportation, sub
ject of perennial and often bitter dis

Specifically the railroad manage
mentS are demanding that the existing
10 per cent cut, accepted voluntarily by
the rail unions last year, be made per-

per cent reduction be put into effect.
Railway labor negotiations involving
union contracts are carried out in ac-
cord with the prescription of the rail-
way labor act, which provides that the
railways shall first negotiate directly
with their employees. Recourse may be
had, however. to arbitration If both par
ties agree to that procedure. Failure on
that score demands the appointment by
the President Of fact finding COM

LYNCHBURG. Va, June 1.-THE
symphony OF speeding machines and

do note in some industrial plants here
for at least four concerns are giving
work now to more people than here
tofOre in their history.
CraddOCk-Terry Co.. shoe manufac-
turers, the largest concern in the city,
now has 1000 workers. compared with
few more than 5000 in former years
The factories Of this company are
working fuller than during the past few
years, and there are indications OF
steady good business for at least two
or three months, said D. H. billiard

Since May the Blue Buckle Overall

est in that concerns experience.
The N & w Overall Co, with two
plants here, Is working 500 operatives,
having also increased in six weeks by

The Virginia Art Goods Studio, max

apparent. Spokesmen for the million
union workers affected were prompt in
branding the carriers action as "un-
patriotic" at a time when efforts were
being made by the Government Ito
bring the country back through inf1a-
ton
The railways contend that wages
since the war have gone up faster than
the cost of living. Recent statistics
show wages absorb approximately SO
per cent Of every dollar of railway op-
Grating revenues. The Bureau of Rail-
way Economics Is authority for the
statement that average wages per rail-
way employe at the end OF 1881 stood
at approximately 100 pc. cent above
the 1918 level, whereas the cost Of liV-
ing rose only so per cent.
Collectively, the gigantic transporta-
ton industry has operated during the
past year at staggering deficits. This,
1t is said, affects equally the many in
dustries supplying railway equipment
and supplies, and the holders of the
SIG, ,500,000000 of railroad obligations
and shares, most prominent of which
are insurance companies and savings
banks.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Coincider t

LARGE BANKS G|RD
FOR WIDE CHANGES
UNDER NEW LAWS
Drastic Departure From Old
Policies Planned by Finan-
CiaI Leaders.
BY HIRAM HERTELL.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Drastic
changes in banking practices will be
put into effect soon as a result Of enact
ment of the GlaSs-Steagall banking bill,
it was indicated here by a survey of
financial opinion.
The signing of the measure by
President Roosevelt, found the legal de-
partments of Wall Street banking insti-
tutions busily engaged in a close study
of the measure
Private bankers here have not yet de-
cided what they plan to do on the
choice which the bill gives them be-
tween giving up the deposit banking
business or the security business.
At the Offices of j. p Morgan & Co.
it was explained that this point would
be decided only after long and careful
study. Kuhn, Loeb s. Co. has reached
no decision on the matter, it was said.
Believed Unaffected.
Some of the other important private
bankers, including Lehman Brothers,
Dillon, Read & Co., and Goldman,
Sachs & Co, felt they would be unaf-
fected by this feature Of the bill be-
cause they have virtually no deposit
business.
Another section Of the bill requires
national banks to divorce their security
afflliates within year. The most i'm
portant security affiliates still In exist
ence are those of The National City
Bank, The Guaranty Trust Co. and
The First National Bank
The National City already has taken
preliminary steps to eliminate its Sc
curity business-conducted through The
National City Co.-but The Guaranty
Trust Co. and The First National Bank
have not yet made an announcement
on the matter
officials II both Of these institutions,
however, have been studying the situ-
alton for some time and an early state
ment is expected. The First Security
company, security affiliate of The First
National Bank, never has had a retail
distributing organization and its prob
lem is different from that of The
Guaranty Trust Co. whose affiliate,
The Guaranty Co., has maintained re-
tail distributing units throughout the
country for many years.
Legal Test Likely.
Complete enforcement Of The Chase
National Banks affiliate, The Chase
Securities Co.-which in turn con-
trolled The Chase Harris Forbes Cor
poration-already has reached the final

banks stockholders to plan Of

tutions previously disposed of their Sc
curity aff1liates
Litigation by banks and their stock
holders to test the constitutionality of
the new law is considered a possibility

SUMMER CLOS|NGS
IDEA ABANDONED
Orders PiIing Up, but Wage
Increases Are Urged to
Maintain Pace.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.


NEW YORK, June 1.-THE volume
of forward orders accumulated by mills
and factories has made them abandon
all thought Of Summer closings, as is
usual at this season. These decisions
we're arrived at this week as the gen
eral commercial and industrial revival,
which has been moving at increased
momentum since early April, continued
under the benefcient influences Of in
creasing employment and advancing
wages.
Nationwide surveys now emphasize
the employment gains in centers iden-
tilted with the production of textiles,
leather goods, shoes, glass containers,
automobiles, tires electrical supplies,
refrigerators, radios furniture, iron and
steel and metal products.
Close Study Needed.
The average business man, big and
little, continues to worry about the
labor aspects of the recovery act, when
he should be more concerned with his
own part of the msasure-namely, the
attainment of some fundamental
knowledge of business management,
which will enable him to know costs,
keep accounts correctly, and be able
to report intelligently on production,
hours of labor, wages paid and prices
received
There IS no question just now that
the administration realizes that in
creased wages in the six basic indus
tries, steel, textiles, lumber, oil, auto
motive and coal, will have to be an
accomplished fact next month If the
rate of manufacturing activity is to be
continued at its present speed Unless
the public has increased purchasing
power. industry will have to move at
a slower pace.
The public works program will add
greatly TO the general total of public
purchasing power, but its efforts will
be greatly strengthened by an immedi-
ate wage increase in many industries.
Retail Sales Mount.
Retail sales, however, are still rising,
less merchandise Is being offered be-
low the cost of production, stores are
narrowing their losses, and repricing of
now realize they have been selling mer-
chandise far below replacement costs.
Consumers are offering no resistance
to the higher price levels" according
to Dun g. Bradstreet, Inc, in their
national weekly survey Of business.
"Jewelry, silverware, watches, furni-
ture, rugs and shoes are being bought
freely in spite of the new price tags,
while there has been a revival of in
terest in musical instruments, pianos
and radios"
