A. M. Byers & Co. was originally
established in 1864. The company
manufacturers about one-half the
wrought iron pipe used in this
country, also controlling its own
coal and coke supplies. Its special
processes of manufacture enable this
pipe to be made in large quantities
at reasonable price.
About one-half its output is dis
tributed through jobbers and used
by the building and plumbing trades,
while large proportion of the bal
ance is used for oil pipe lines. It's
main plant at Harmony, Pa, is
practically new. 1t is well located for

PORKERS AGAIN
AT NEW HIGHS
Cattle Market Turns Weak;
VeaIerS and Lambs
Unchanged.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. S.-HOg prices
scared to the highest level in more
than three years at the Chicago
Stock Yards today.
Prime heavyweights sold at top
of $3.50 a hundredweight on the
first round of trading, the highest
price paid since July 81, 1881.
Limited supplies and a brisk con-
sumner demand account for the rise.
Following an advance of from
to 10 cents at the indianapolis
Union Stockyards today, porker
prices for the second time this week
reached the highest levels since
July, 1881. With exception of ex-
tremely light grades remaining
steady, practically all classes we're
higher than yesterdays average.
Receipts today continued light and
were estimated at only $500, mark
ing the third consecutive session in
which supplies have remained I'M
der the 5000 figure. Initial trading
was fairly active, with a broader
demand prevailing in various classes.
The bulk, $50 to DTS pounds,
caShed in at $8.15 to 1925, while 275
pounds and up brought $3.50 to $50
HoldoverS numbered 145.
With less activity displayed in the
cattle market, prices on all grades
were weak to slightly lower than
yesterdays best average. Nothing
was on hand to command top prices
Few odd head of steers sold upward
to $12. No change was shown in
veals and prices remained steady at
$3.50 down. Receipts were 400.
Practically no change was evil
dent in the lamb market and prices
OF better grades held at $3.50 to
$875. Several heavy kinds were
quoted at 1925 down, while throw
outs ranged from $3.50 to 1925

BABY BONDS WILL
YIELD rs PER CENT
Initial Issue to Go on Sale
About March 10.
By United Press

Oy CHttbU ItSo
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The
first issue of the new government
baby bonds" will be offered to the
public about March 1 at a price be-
tween $75 and $78 for each 500
bond, Thomas Jefferson Coolidge,
Under Secretary of the Treasury,
has announced.
The bonds will be due at par 10
years after issuance. Holders can
resell them to the Treasury at the
price they paid. After the first year
they will obtain the purchase price
plus a sliding scale of interest.
No restriction has been placed on
the amount of the issue. Bonds will
be sold through United States
postoffices.
Because they are non-trausfer-
able and no market will be main
tanned in them, Treasury officials
indicated they would not be used
for collateral loans at the banks
Instead, after two months holders
will be able TO sell their bonds back
to the government instead Of being
forced to borrow on them.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-02-08

The theory is that part of the
savings from adoption of new
labor saving devices would be
passed along to workers displaced
by the machines. 1t would not APP
ply to layoffs caused by permanent
loss Of traffic or to designations or
disciplinary discharges.
The Eastman plan proposes lump
sum or annuity payments to dis
placed employees based on their for
mer earnings, age and length of
service.
Schedules Graduated
Mr.. EaStmanS general formula is
half-month's pay for each year of
service, although the schedules are
so graduated that workers in the
lower brackets would receive a high
er benefit payment, in proportion,
than those receiving larger rates Of
pay.
70 compute the dismissal pay
ment the co-ordinatorS bill provides
that the number of years of service
would be multiplied by certain frac-
lions of the workers earnings, as
follows: IS per cent of the first $50
of monthly earnings, 5625 per cent
of the next 500 and 37.5 per cent
of the next $3.50.
Would Receive More
Men over 35, who, the co-ordi-
nator said, find it increasingly diff
cult to get other employment, would
receive extra compensation. From
ages IS to SO the addition would be
is per cent for each year of service.
Thus a man of so would have his
basic compensation increased 22A
per cent.
Two years service would be re-
quired before worker would be eli
gible for dismissal benefits. The
minimum payment would be 500.
Lump Sum Proposed
Employees under SIS would receive
their compensation in a lump sum;
those between SIS and go would have
the option of lump sum or tenn
porary annuity to age IS, and those
from so to IS would receive an an
nuity to death.
The principle of seniority, uni
versal in Che railroad industry,
would be used in determining which
employees would be displaced. Those
IS and older would be retired first.
The National Mediation Board,
established last year, would decide
whether dismiSsals were for reasons
covered by compensation.
Guards Against Misuse
The Eastman bill establishes
test period of eight weeks for deter
mination of whether an employee
has been furloughed or permanently
dismissed. To prevent misuse of the
furlough the measure provides half
pay for the period prior to final dis
miSSal
IF the employee is rehired after
dismissal the bill provides for the
repayment installmentS of all dis
missal benefits he has received. If
he obtains employment from an
other carrier or diSsimilar company
no repayment would be required.
The following table illustrates the
amount of lump sum payments
which would be paid to employees
with average earnings of $3.50 a
month in the various service and
900 cIaSSif1cationS. =

UPSWINC HELD
NECESSARY FOR
REALTY VALUES
Adequate Financing Must
Be Arranged, Schmidt
Declares.

The return of real estate to a
fair value is absolutely essential to
the return of prosperity and We
have got to be able to adequately
finance real estate before we can
have any real activity in this field,
Walter S. Schmidt president of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards, declared yesterday at a
meeting at the ClaypOol Hotel spon-
sored by the indianapolis Real
Estate Board.
I'VE want to see real estate
prosper" Mr. Schmidt said, because
it is the primary base of taxation.
We need people of sound, honest
sense and honest views to get us
out of the depths Our problem now
is a problem of rehabilitation of
real estate. The major institutions
CT our nation have billions of dol
lars invested in that commodity.
Many in Attendance
More than $50 persons, including
representatives of real estate boards
throughout the state, members Of
the Legislature, public officials and
representatives of civic trade and
luncheon clubs were present at the
luncheon.
Governor Paul V. McNutt and
Mayor John w. Kern, formally
welcomed Mr.. Schmidt to the state
and city.
Herbert U. Nelson, executive sec
Tetary of the National Association
OF Real Estate Boards, declared that
a recent survey Of the leading cities
Of the country made by the ma
tlonal association revealed that resi-
dental vacancies dropped from II
to 3 per cent. Limited taxation for
property owners and assistance ten
dered by the government agencies,
he said, will do much toward rails
ing real estate values.
Closed Meeting Held
A special closed meeting of direc-
tors of the Indianapolis Real Estate
Board and the Indiana Real Estate
Association was addressed by Mr..
Schmidt and Mr.. Nelson.
They advocated that the local
boards broaden their membership by
enrolling property owners in the
nationwide movement to obtain
fair taxes for real estate. The
Boston Real Estate Exchange and
the Detroit Real Estate Board have
adopted this plan, they said.
Frank L. Moore, executive secre-
tary of the local board, said that
the local directors will be called soon
to consider this plan.
