FAIRLESS SEES
BUSINESS GAINS

CHICAGO, Jan. IA G.N.S0.
Business conditions today were
termed encouraging, particularly
so in comparison with those of
January last year" by Benjamin
F. Fairless, president of the
United States Steel Corporation.
Present indications are that
we are still In that part of the
recovery cycle within which
physical volume of business may
rise, or at least hold the gains
that have been registered" Fair
ness told the National Gamer
Association convention.
U. S. LEADS IN CANNING
He called the American com
mercial canning industry the
greatest in the world, declaring:
'"The present installed ca
pacity of continuous mills in
the United States Is capable
Of producing more than two
million tons Of cold-reduced tin
mill products per year, which is
five to six times that Of any
other country.
There is but one installation
operating in England, and one
under construction in Germany"
NOT "AIMLESS QUEST"
The industry Is an Impressive
example Of what may be accom-
plished in a system of free enter
prise" Fairless stated.
Business enterprise is nor
mally actuated by strong mo-
tives; it is not an aimless quest"
he said. There Is in it, first Of
all, the will to improve, the am
bition to excel.
This urge may be rooted in
the scheme of evolution, for ex-
perience teaches that given rea-
sonable opportunities, or per-
hapS If not positively thwarted,
men will move to make things
better, try the untried, and ex-
plore the unknown"
The Washington times., 1939-01-24

too, realize that time is fleeting,
for their worried looks mean only
one thing-the midyear examina-
tionS are on the fire.
DAY OF ACCOUNTING
Things will come out all right,
but the light-hearted, carefree at
titude seems to have been sup
planted by a more serious outlook
until the report cards are safely
signed and returned.
We travel the road Of life with
a cheerful abandon for just so
long before we are called upon to
give account Of ourselves. The
grownups in business and the
children in school both come to
the time when they must give an
audit Of their books for the
records.
RED OR BLACK?
Are you going to he on the req
or the black side Of the ledger?
The figures will add up to exactly
the amount of earnest endeavor
you have put into your work or
studies. The "Old Skipper" wishes
them all success.

for the capital goods industries.

PROTEST
Reorganization Plan
For Erie Opposed

NEW YORK, Jan. 25 Q.N.S).
A committee representing $780,
600, 900 Erie Railroad refunding
and improvement bonds has pro-
tested the reorganization plan for
the road offered by an institu-
tional group of bondholders, it was
made known today.
The committee, headed by Gar
diner B. Perr..', stated that the
only equity in the property at the
present time Is in the refunding
and improvement mortgage 5 per
cent bonds.
The main objection to the plan
is the "disproportionate recogni.
tion given to the interests Of the
holders Of the present stock" Of
the road, the committee said.

WAGNER'S BILL
ASKS CENTRAL
MORTGAGE BANK
Provides For Operation
Under u. S. Guidance

Seeking to provide an increased
flow Of capital into the mortgage
banking field, Senator Robert F.
Wagner, Of New York, has intro
duced a bill in Congress to create
q central mortgage bank, privately
owned but under Federal super
vision, which will provide a per
manent discount and purchase
system for all sound mortgages on
urban real estate.
The bill generally follows recon-
mendationS outlined by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards which has given the matter
intensive study for several years
Recalling the bitter days Of 1880
1888 when urban mortgage CAPT
tai was frozen and progress to
ward recovery was retarded in the
building field, the association has
concluded that a clearing house
for mortgage investments would
solve the problem and maintain
that type of investments in a
liquid condition.
Life insurance sales in the Dis
trict mounted 38 per cent last De
cember as compared with De
cember 1887, it was reported by

Of any month last year. Cor
