STOCKS CLIMB,

BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 GN.SO.
The stock market turned in a dull
performance today, with leaders a
shade higher on the average in ex-
tremely slow trading.
AS in the preceding session,
stocks opened on generally firm
note, but the advance was curbed
later by a light influx of profit
taking. Price movements were in
significant in the majority of
cases.
Among leaders to chalk up frac-
tional gains were U. S. Steel, Beth
lehem, Chrysler, General Motors,
Case, Kennecott, Douglas Air
craft, Boeing, American Can, and
New York Central. Santa Fe was
up more than a point for a time.
Several representative shares
were behind minus signs. Included
were Westinghouse Electric, Ana
American Telephone, Inter
national Harvester, and Sears
ROebuck.
Commodities were quiet, with
grains and cotton a shade lower.

OkAGNNNOF 4N1 AHEAD
If the United States were to
continue to plunge into debt for
another six years at the rate of
the last six years, national bank
ruptcy would stare us in the face,
the value of our American money
would shrink unconScionably.
These thoughts are prompted
by the report just issued at Wash,
ngton by the advisory council on
social security, composed of emf.
nent representatives of employers,
employees, the public.
Briefly, this body would like to
see the existing Social Security
legislation, now covering 42,OOO,-
900 individuals, extended to cover
Sc, 100000; would like to increase
the average old-age benefits pay
able in the early years, increase
benefits to married men having
aged wives, provide benefits for
widows and orphans of insured
persons.
1t recommends that the QueS-
ton Of provision for benefits to
permanently disabled persons be
studied. Also, it suggests that
payment OF old-age benefits be
put forward two years and begin
on January l, 1910.
It makes recommendation that,
instead of placing the burden of
financing oldage security entirely
on oay rolls, the Government
should make contribution from
general revenues of about a third,
the other two-thirds to come
equally from employers and en-
ployes.

demnation proceedings.
VOTE is CLOSE
The association favored enact
ment of pedestrian control regu-
lations. The vote was close, and
was taken after w. A. Van DuZer,
director of traffic, pointed out
that of 213 pedestrians killed in
traffic from January l, 1885. to
November 80, 1898, 100 had met
death at street intersections, rs
at intersections not in the cross
walk, 40 were crossing properly
at the crosswalk and seven were
killed while standing in safety
zones or on sidewalks.
The Public Utilities Commission
was requested in resolution by
Milo H. Brinkley, to extend taxi
cab zone No. 2 from Wisconsin
Ave. to Thirty-Seventh st. N. w.

ton of traffic lights at the inter
