iker once each.
From 1908 to 1914 New Workers

toppes but when the club moved to
the polo grounds The label was
changed to Yankees, which immed-
lately came into favor. When the}

Ev the Associated Press.

Ev tie Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 27-Directors
of United States Industrial Alcohol
Co. today decided to omit the dividend
on the common stock because of ''un-
satisfactory" profit margins.
c. E. Adams, chairman OF the
board, said:
In February a quarterly dividend
OF SO cents a share was declared. In
May the dividend was reduced to rs
cents.
In view of the fact that earnings
of the company for the first seven
months have been less than the divi-
dends declared during the period and
that profit margins continue unsatis-
factory. although volume Of the COM
pany's business is substantially ahead
of last year. the board decided to de-
clare no dividend at this time
The company, the largest producer
Of industrial ethyl alcohol in the
United States, has plants on the East
ern seaboard, New Orleans, Buffalo,
N. Y; Peoria. Ill. and Anaheim. Calf
At the end of May the company
stated that although business had
been satisfactory since the first of the
year, competitive conditions within the
industry had brought such a severe
drop in the selling price of principal
products as to hurt profit margins.
Kenneth NJ. Simpson was elected
director to fill a vacancy.

NEW YORK, August 27.-The New

g. Pacific Tea Co. has decided TO &C
cept advertising allowances from food
manufacturers again and is offering
contracts containing provisions for
both allowances and discounts.
The company. according to the

fective June 20, and also discontinued
all retail advertising here and partially
in New England.
The law provided that all ad-
vertising allowances should be made
on approximately equal terms.
The new A. g. P. contracts, &C
cording to the Times. are essentially
the same as those in effect before the
passage of the law, except that they
contain a clause to the effect that
the manufacturer avows its willing
ness to make the same agreement as
is here made with any other pur-
chasers similarly situated and on pro-
