Report
Progress on the new shipyards
is coming along apace and nicely,
thank you,
AS of this date. as the business
men say. construction Is approx
mately so per cent complete; New
Years Eve should see the ways
ready for the first keel.
Wednesday the last truss for the
roof of the t-nerve-center
among the plant buildings-will be
in place, and completion of that
edifice will follow soon.
This week sometime the concrete
foundations for the machine shops
will be finished, and buildings will
be raised thereon starting next
week.
So far, the site hasn't yet
taken on the individual char
acteristics Of a shipyard; to
casual inspection 1t could de-
velop into most anything.
The new office building, which
is coming here by scow from Seat
tie, was slated for delivery Monday
but fog and one thing and another
caused some delay. The two-story
affair will probably show up before
the week is done, engineers tell us.
Tugboat Tommy Lost Again
These foggy mornings have
prompted the suggestion that 1t
would be great If somebody could
only figure out way to paint
yellow lines criss-crossing the har-
Dor in the manner of the highway
guides.
Take Tommy Sadler, for in
stance. He's been towboating In
these waters for years. yet he
doesn't make any bones about 1t
every time the fog shuts down,
he automatically becomes lost.
Already this week he's heard q
good deal about the lack of wisdom
of detouring to the coal bunkers
enroute from the Milwaukee log
dump to the City waterway.
Tommy says they're progressive
enough to have yellow lines where
he comes from-but then it's q
long time since anybody has taken
towboat up to the Puyallup
prairie.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Appar-
emily inspired by a further lull in
European war worries and generally
heartening domestic industrial pros
poets, the stock market today
chalked off a few more yards on
the upward path.
Proflt-taking barriers were en-
countered on the resumption of yes
terday'S advance, however, and
gains running to points or so in
the forenoon were cut down in
many instances at the close. Deal
ings, fairly lively at the start slack
ened as traders cashed in here and
there. Transfers for the five hours
approximated 650,OO0 shares.
While the headlines held out re-
neWed hopes of possible get-to-
gether by the principal conflicting
powers in a move to avoid hostili-
ties over Danzig and other problems,
| the dispatches were sketchy at the
best and Wall Street was not en-
tlrely convinced peaceable solution
would be found. The result, brokers
said, was that buying remained CT
the timid sort.
Steels, motors and an assortment
of specialties responded at the open.
ing to signs in a number of indus.

would continue throughout the fall
and winter.

Minimum Pay Order
In Hosiery Industry
Is Approved
$4,000 Workers Will
Receive Raises
Under Plan
Stock and
Dividend Rats

The first minimum wage order re-
sulting from recommendation by
an industry committee under the
Fair Labor Standards Act had been
approved today by Wage-Hour Ad-
ministrator Elmer F. Andrews.
The order establishes minimum
pay in the hosiery industry and will
become effective nationally on Sep
tember 18. The rates of pay as set
by the industry are;
For the seamless division, 32h
cents an hour and for the full
fashioned hosiery division, 40 cents
an hour. Approximately 10000 work.
ers will receive raises in the seam
less division and $1,000 in the full
fashioned division, it was estimated.
In announcing his approval of the
industry's recommendations, Mr..
Andrews said:
Il have decided to approve the
recommendation of Industry Com
mittee No. 3 for the hosiery industry
and to make the minimum wage
order based thereon effective Sep
tember 49,
"A hearing was held on the rec
ommendation and I have found that
it has been made in accordance with
law, is supported by the evidence
adduced at the hearing, and, taking
into consideration the same factors
as are required to be considered by
the Industry Committee, will carry
out the purposes of the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
1T appears that the 18th of Sep
tember will be a date convenient
to the industry for placing this rec
ommendation in effect. I am an
nouncing my decision now in order
to give the industry adequate time
to adjust itself to the minimum
wage schedules. My findings and
order will be issued at least IS days
in advance of September 49,"
The wage-hour law went into ef-
feet last October, providing for a
minimum pay of Is cents an hour
during its first year Of operation, 80
cents an hour for the second year,
IS cents an hour for the third year
and setting a goal of 40 cents an
hour after seven years of operation.
On the recommendation of indus
try committees, however, it was
provided that higher minimums
could be established.

CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-After an
early display of strength, wheat
prices today reacted about cent
from the sessions highs-the best
quotations recorded here in almost
two weeks-and closed fractionally
lower than yesterday.
Interest in grains was small and
prices were affected by compara-
lively minor transactions. While
traders were inclined to 90 slow on
the selling side, believing that the
loan program is taking a large guam
tlty of wheat off the open market.
there was little in the trade news to
inspire buying. Hedging sales con-
tributed to the late weakness.
