The general principle that applies is this Those payments
are economically necessary which are required to induce men
to carry the necessary productive functions So the real
question is capital and enterprise paid more than
necessary to induce them function in producing STEEL etc
By saving and investing they have supplied the plant
equipment By planning and skill in meeting the risks of
business they have directed the business along profitable
lines
Whatever the may be- the human qualities required
for doing these things are not as common as the qualities re-
qurd for laborng Therefore, those who successfully
organize and direct large business enterprises able to de-
mand and get large rewards
In way it is like the large rewards that such persons

direct test of efficiency If the business does not show profit
the enterprlsers get no reward.
This brings up another point which should fairly

To put the matter another way labor required
the losses which frequently arise in business 1t is therefore,
fair question to ask how much any, of the profits should
labor share?
1t has been good many years since the Steel Corporation
paid any dividends on its common stock.
The Government however, has moved to give labor

The gst of the matter that large rewards are necessary to
bring forth and maintain the large of saving and in
vestment and the special qualities of enterprise that modern
business must have Without these rewards labor would have
the less productive methods living
standards of the past.
Finally we have to consider that good many COM
panies make very small profits and some
This that the larger profits made by others usually

At first glance, it may seem fair enough
to argue that since, in 1886, many companies
showed large gains in net earrings, there is
no reason why labor should not get more.
I have tried to think the matter through
from all angles, and 1 present herewith the
results of my thought.
To begin with, it should be kept in mind
that the question is not one of physical posi-
bilities, but is one of what is economically
possible Of course, it would be physically
possible to give the total profits of the Steel
Corporation to steel laborers; but what about

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Overriding
a substantial opposition vote by mem
bers, the Governing Committee Of
the New York Stock Exchange yester-
day adopted amendments to the con-
stitution which will permit members
to increase to customers charges for
purchase and sale OF securities BY ap-
proximately IL per cent.
Votes cast In favor of the amend
ment were 523. The number voting no
totaled AIS. Balloting was conducted
by the members during the last two
weeks. Owing to the size of the dis
approving vote, the proposal was
turned back to the Governing Com
mittee in accordance with a rule gov
erning balloting on vital questions.
Their president decision is final.
The proposal was ordered submitted
to members by the Exchange Govern
ing Committee at meeting on De-
cember Is. This action came after
much controversy and contention
within the exchange on the merits of
a change in the commission structure.
The present scale of commission has
been in effect since 1924.
1t marked the elimination of
campaign started more than two years
ago by a faction of the membership
which felt rise in fees was justified
by the substantial decrease in trading
volume since the 1929 collapse. With
the tapering business, brokers' operat-
ing costs increased. it was claimed by
the supporters Of the move.
Several plans were considered and
discarded before the Governing Com
mittee put its seal Of approval on the
proposal calling for an IL per cent
boost in the fees. Most of the others
recommended sitter increases.
1t was understood the move for an
increase had considerable opposition
from the start. Many members were
represented as believing higher COM
missions would drive business to other
markets and thus defeat its aim OF
larger revenues for brokers.
