STEPS OUTLINED
TO AID CARRIERS
Joint Truck Service, Rate
Contracts and Security
Groups Suggested.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, Oct. 28.-The Railroad Securities
Committee Of the Investment Bankers
Association Of America, in convention
here. issued today report urging three
important steps to cope with the rail-
road problem.
First. the committee proposed that
the railroads be authorized to set up
a Nationwide trucking service, jointly
owned, similar to the set-up Of the
Railway Express Agency
1t was suggested the express agency
might form nucleus for owning and
operating the trucking services.
The report said a development of
this kind would 80 not only give the
railroads a greater degree of fexibility
and many additional time schedules,
but it would restore much Of their lost
traffic"
A second proposal was that the roads
be permitted to make contracts with
shippers on the agreed charge" basis
used in Canada, England, Australia
and France, under which a road may
make a special rate with a shipper
who agrees to give the road all or a
certain portion of his business over a
specified time. This, it was argued,
would put the roads on a better COM
petitive basis with other carriers.
A third suggestion was that railway
security owners form an effective, ar
ticulate association. The report point
ed out there are numerically about
twice as many rail security owners as
rail employees. 1t said the roads had
been the victims of such pressure
groups as shippers, labor and taxing
authorities, while the investors had re-
malned largely inarticulate.
The report, which was approved by
the associations Board of Governors.
was drafted by committee headed
by Edward H. Leslie of Wood Struth-
ers IL Co., New York.

CHICAGO, Oct 28.-The price Of
cash butter advanced Il cent a pound
today, the first important change since
July in this market, which has been
dominated most of the year by heavy
Government buying
The upturn, registered both in Chi
cago and New York, came at a time
when the Governments buying opera
tions declined. Traders said normal
supply and demand factors were again
becoming more important in the mar
ket.
Butter extras" the principal mar
ket grade, rose to Is cents pound in
Chicago and 26A in New York on
trade buying which took place after
the Federal Surplus Commodity Corp.
had done its purchasing for the day.
Since April the price of extras in Chi
cago has been close to 251a, lowest in
three years. In July it dropped to 25A

GENERAL MOTORS
NETS $,S7,688
Sloan Points to Greater
Consumer Interest Than
Year Ago.
BY the Associated Press,

NEW YORK. Oct 27.-General Mo-
tors Corp. reported late yesterday q
net income of $5,367 ,688, equal to 7
cents share on the common stock
for the quarter ended September 80.
This compared with net earnings Of
$24,8l6,398, equal to So cents share,
in the June quarter and $44,4l2,734,
or 80 cents a share, in the correspond
ing 1887 quarter.
For the first nine months of 1898
net earnings were $38,387.707 equal
to 73 cents q share, compared with
$l54, ,958, 900, or S3.46 a share, for the
corresponding period last year, show
ing the effects of the sharp decline
in the corporations sales which set
in last December.
Sales on Sharply.
Sales to dealers for the third quar-
ter totaled 1916 cars and trucks,
including Canadian sales, overseas
shipments from domestic plants and
production by foreign manufacturing
subsidiaries. In the similar quarter
last year world sales amounted to
497,008 units-a decline of 63.4 per
cent. World sales of General Motors
for the first nine months of 1888 to-
tailed 795,749 units. compared with
l,594,378 units in the same period Of
1871 decline Of SOL per cent.
Alfred p Sloan, jr., chairman of
the Board of Directors, remained opti-
mistic over the future outlook in his
report to stockholders accompanying
the financial statement of the corpora
ton.
Outlook Is Brighter.
Reflections from all parts Of the
United States indicate a consumer
interest considerably in excess Of that
existing year ago." Sloan commented.
This is supported by a material in
crease in advance orders. These cir
cumstances, together with the general
improvement in most indices normally
used to reflect the trend OF industrial
activity as whole, would appear to
forecast an improved consumer de-
mand or an upward trend as compared
with a year ago. when the opposite
was the case. 1t is to be hoped, of
course, that these indications will be
supported by the facts, when avail
able"
Rejecting the reduced level Of opera
tions in the third quarter, payroll
disbursements totaled s63 63,649,223, as
against $ll7,7l9,4ll in the same quar-
ter last year. The average number
OF employees on the payroll in the
quarter was l49,4s4, including both
salaried and hourly employees, COM
pared with 257,ll2 in the same quarter
last year.

Trade at wholesale gained mo-

arrived in larger volume. Wholesalers
who had feared a rush of cancella-

longed warm weather reported that

Commitments made for holiday
goods exceeded last years in some
markets, but were still tagging in
many others, SO that total wholesale

So that is, in all possibility,
the reason why we have this
beautiful holiday, and one of
the reasons why we observe
it. It affords an opportunity
to soften such memories by
a display of genuine love and
thoughtfulness for the most
noble, faithful loyal and sac
rificing friend a boy can have
his Mother.
If she is living and near
enough for you to be with
her this Mothers Day-spend
the day in loving conversa-
ton and communion with
her. One day spent at her
side now when memories are.
about all she treasures, will
make amends for those acts
of thoughtlessness of earlier
years. Ahead Of her alone
is life's highway, and it is
nearing the shutdown for her.
One smile from you now will
serve TO light that road for
her as nothing else can; one
kiss from you would make of
it the path to glory in her
tired, kindly, loving old heart.
If she has passed on to the
end of that road, lay some
blossoms on her resting place,
or wear on this Mothers Day
as evidence that through the
turmoil and strifes of life,
and in all your wanderings
you have not forgotten the
dearest creature who ever
had a part in your life.
But a fortnight citizens
raised their voices in praise
and bowed their heads in
humble observance of the
resurrection. Then we hon
ored Jesus Christ, the savior
of men. Now we come to
honor the mothers of men.
Join in, for your Mother was
among them. And if there
has ever been anyone ap-
preaching the Savior of Men
in all his glory and majesty,
and goodness and love it is
Our Mothers.

slightly better showing than

nationwide prayer that this
ratio may be maintained.
Recklessness and carelessness
are twin vices, bad habits
that we have acquired in the
rapid pace at which we go
through life. 1t will pay us
rich dividends to slow down
a bit, to think before we act,

chances. There are a lot of

rather do than ride in an
