her husband.
Her sister, Mrs. G. Fl. c. Smillie,
with whom she made her home,
found her dead in bed about 8
o'clock.
Mrs. Miner often had said to her
sister, If I die suddenly 1 want an
autopsy" She explained her hus-
band had told her that the exact
cause of death often was never
learned because of the reluctance OF
families of the deceased to permit
a post-mortem examination.
DR.. Miner had said that much
suffering and death could be pre-
vented If more aUtopsies were pos
sible. Dr. Miner died several years
ago, and since that time his widow
has been under treatment for q
heart ailment. her physician said.
A native of New York City, Mrs.
Miner moved here with her family
as a child of 8. and had lived in
Washington ever since. Since the
death of her husband Mrs. Miner
had lived with her sister.
In addition to her sister, she Is
survived by two nephews. Funeral
arrangements have not been COM
pleted.
The autopsy was to be performed
today by DR.. A. Magruder Mac
Donald, coroner, and his assistants.

CHICAGO. Dec. 10.-Wheat and
corn prices were depressed slight
ly today by profit taking, which
dominated both markets because
general commercial and speculative
interest was at low ebb.
Price declines were only fraction
al, but selling was attracted by the
recent Scent advance of wheat from
1888 lows and the highest corn quo
tations since September
Traders here took the hint to sell
from a y to 70 decline at Liver
inquiry. The British market, how
ever, was steadied by reports Of
unprecedented shedding of unhar-
vested wheat in Victoria Province,
Australia, as a result of hot winds.
Drought also was reported in North
west India.
No domestic export wheat busi-
ness was reported but sales from
the Canadian Pacific Coast were
estimated at 100000 to 800 1000
bushels.
Ihe corn markets recent strength
derived from aggressive export de-
mand, dwindling supplies in Argen-
tina and operation of the ever-nor-
NAL granary program in this country.
1t has helped to sustain wheat
prices. traders said. Argentine corn
advanced more than a cent today,
but this was ignored here because
the recent bulge in Chicago was
believed to have reflected for the
time being the much improved de-
mand for domestic corn.
Oats and rye prices showed very
little change and trading was quiet.
A few transactions in lard were
made at slightly lower figures.

The Senate Profit Sharing Com

replacement Of old industrial ma

encouraged by tax concessions.
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., chairman of
the General Motors Corp. told the
group yesterday this would stimu-
late the durable goods industry and
increase production Of the entire
economic system.
The only way YOU can raise
wages is by increased productivity

ers' income in poor years, rather
than try to increase it in the good
years" he said. True profit sharing,
he added, is not applicable as a
broad procedure.
The committee, consisting of
Senators Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, and Herring, Demo-
crat, of Iowa, has been exploring an
idea that business may be induced
to employ certain practices bene-
fetal to labor and industry as
whole by giving those companies
which conform some reduction in
the taxes they pay.
In particular, it has been investi-
eating the possibility of applying
this principle to firms which insti-
tute systems by which employees
may share in profits, over and above
a fair wage.
Mr.. Sloan, small and gray, sat
hunched over the end of the witness
table and asserted he saw little pos
sibility of general good in profit
sharing systems

my viewpoint as to true profit
sharing" he said, us that it is not
applicable as a broad procedure
simply because. outside of a limited
number of special cases that always
arise, there are not sufficient profits
to~apply an equitable formula and
mean anything consequential to the
worker except perhaps in limited
periods of prosperity"
1t would be far better. he said, to
use such available funds to assure
the workers continuity of income,
by some such method as the loan
system recently announced by Gen.
eral Motors.
Mr.. Sloan expressed the opinion
that present tax laws had reached
the point OF diminishing returns and
had been fixed at level so high
that they were impeding business.

The United States in each case
has recognized Mexicos right to take
over the properties. but has in
sisted that this must be accom-
panied by prompt and adequate
compensation.
Compensation Demanded.
At the State Department, the word
has been passed that the American
position as stated in frequent notes
exchanged during the oil contro-
versy applied to all and every type
of American property in Mexico.
The position was that appropriation
must be followed by prompt COM
pensation.
Lest any question of Intervention
in Mexican internal affairs arise.
State Department officials have
taken the position that the United
States is not concerned about how
the Mexican government disposes of
its oil and other resources provided
they are the property of Mexico.
This Governments concern begins
when steps are taken to dispose of
seized American property which has
not been paid for.

How long should a motorist wait
