NEW YORK. March 27.-The up
swing in business throughout the
country is naturally being reflected In
Wall Street. Renting agents in that
district report that many out-of-town
corporations are establishing or re-
establishing branch Offices there.
This movement, which is just the
opposite from that taking place in the
brokerage and investment business,
has speeded up in the last month.
Although still on a modest scale, 1t
nevertheless accounts for a sizable
footage leased In the financial district.
Many local business and profess
sional men have taken heart and are
trying to stage a comeback after
abandoning their Offices two or three
years ago. In most instances they are
investment consultauts, engineers, re-
search chemists. accountants and law
yers. Quite few youngsters also are
making their initial plunge with a
modest one-room office at some good
address in the Wall Street district.
More than 20 out-of-town firms
have established or re-established
branch Offices in the financial district
in the last few weeks. 1t Is curious
that many Of these firms, including
the Nations stores, do not yet see the
need of sending buyers to this market,
but continue to depend on their resi-
Dental buying offices.

INDUSTRY PLANS i.
NEW MACHINERY
More Labor. Saving Devices
Weighed by Many
Executives.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
ssociated Press Financial Editor.


NEW YORK, March 27.-Machines
rather than men.
Will this be industry's answer to
the recovery drive for shorter hours
and higher wages"
Few business analysts think 1t can
be more than a partial answer. and
point out that any spur given to ma
chlnery manufacture and plant
modernization would in itself expand
employment.
Nevertheless. industry's past Efforts
to reduce labor costs with machinery
prompted Standard Statistics Co. to
have its field investigators inquire as
to present plans.
While no wide canvass was made,
1t was found that many industrial
managers already are laying plans
for installation of additional labor
saving equipment" In several in
stances 1t was found that industrial
concerns have determined upon a
policy of adding machines, rather than
putting on more shifts"
The effect upon employment of
automatic machinery, widely intro
duced in the last few years, has been
much discussed, particularly since the
publicity given the problem by Howard
Scott and "technocracy
At various times in the course Of
industrial development, workers have
revolted against the machine. Even
in the early days of automatic har-
vesting machinery, farmers sometimes
lad to protect their machines from
sabotage by disgruntled farm hands.
But the answer of most economists
to the problem today is that as more
labor-saving machinery is installed
new industries must be developed, or
work hours must be further shortened,
and wages increased, so that con-
sumption can keep up with production.
Washington is giving serious consid-
GRAFTON of measures to stimulate the
capital goods industry, chief division
Of which comprises the makers of
manufacturing machinery and equip
ment .,..
Most Of the current unemployment
Is In the capital goods lines, and
moves have been discussed to encour-
age manufacturers to renovate their
plants The proposed Federal inter-
mediate credit banks are designed to
help the small manufacturer with
this and other problems

% .
investments The reduction in the
rate, however, minimized the factor Of
net loss on the Government money
and undoubtedly will quicken the
banks in taking up either the pre-
ferred stock or capital notes allotted
to them. In report Of the r. r. G.
made early this month it was stated
that $l,702 10000 had been appor-
toned by 1t to the banks. but only
1925, ,000, 900 had been actually ad-
vanced. Subsequently, the amount &C.
cepted has been materially increased.
Quite a high proportion Of the bankS
which eventually are expected to take
advantage Of the loan arrangement
have not entered into final agree
ments with the lender. One element
in the delay has been the unwilling
ness Of the bank to assume q liability
on which 1t faced an annual loss in
income from the start.

Institutions Find 1t Easier

NEW YORK, March 27.-The sig
nificant points in the action of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
In reducing its interest rates on pre-
ferred stock or capital notes are, first,
that this follows the general downward
trend in the cost of money, and,
second, its permits the borrowing in
stitutions to reinvest their new capi-
tai so as to balance the cost of IL and;
perhaps, produce some income from It,
When the r. F. c. began to func-
ton In behalf of the distressed cor
porations and institutions of the coun-
try it exacted interest rates Of from
5 to 6 per cent from borrowers; the
majority were at the higher figure.
Gradually, as it was able to obtain
money through Treasury loans at de-
clining rates, it passed on the benefit
to the borrowers, building and loan
associations and various agricultural
associations, as well as holders of
farm mortgages. The latest railroad
loans for the purchase of equipments
have been negotiated at 4 per cent.
The rate fixed on bank preferred
stock and capital notes was per cent,
in a majority Of cases. The contracts,
however, varied with different insti-
tutions. The stronger, as always hap
pens in a business deal, were given
special treatment. It is reported that
some of the New York banks and
trust companies, who really did not
need the new capital, but went along
with the Government for the moral
effect on the INTERIOR" obtained their
funds at from 2la to per cent. There
was considerable trading in such situ-
atoms between the institutions and
the r. F. e. representatives.
The country bank" as a rule. how
ever, took the new capital with the
understanding that it would cost 5
per cent per annum to carry 1t. This
meant that 1t started off with the
handicap of rate higher than that
at which the new money could be re-
invested With safety, or to the salts
faction of the lender. II it had re-
ceived its capital in January it might
then have purchased Government Sc
curities, good municipals or prime cor
poration bonds and realized a sub
stantial appreciation in them, though
an average rate of return well below
the per cent carrying charge of the
r. F. c. loan. If, however, it under
took today to put out its new money
to earn S per cent it would be COM
PEELED to go into securities Of dis
tinctly second-grade character The
general inclination of the borrower
is to play safe and sacrifice income for
security of principal.
1t will still be difncult to make en-
ployment Of the r. F. c. capital. to
be granted at I per cent for five years
after April y, and balance the cost
from recognized prime bank portfolio
