Bond Averages
10 Low Yield Bonds.
Rs the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Sept 5.-Carefully
selective buying carried some bonds
up fractions to more than point in
an otherwise irregular market today.
There was a good-sized list OF
small losers but the widest price
swings were upward. Both indus
trials and speculative-type rail bonds
found BUYERS but caution was evl-
dent in the quiet trade.
An outstanding exception to the
generally slow market was the
trading in issues of Laclede Gas
Light Co. These ran up more than
a point in active dealings.
Attention was focused on these
bonds by the announcement of a
reorganization and Simpllflcatlon
plan for the company under which
the gas and electric services of the
st. Louis area would be integrated.
Other corporates on the upside in
cluded American q Foreign Power
SIS, Commercial Mackay incomes

tile Marine IS and Walworth As.
Moving lower were International
Telephone SIS, Western Union 5S,
Third Avenue adjustment SIS of go,
Missouri-Pacific IF" IS of TT, and
st. Paul SIS.
United States Governments ex-
hibited slightly lower tendencies but
few changed hands.
Solid gains in an otherwise dull
foreign government list were made
by dollar loans of Denmark, Copen-
hagen, Belgium, Uruguay and Pam
ANA.
Small changes either way ruled
the list up to the close. New York
Central SIS ended up y at SO and
Erie SIS were "a higher at 30l2.
Lehigh Valley As and International
Mercantile Marine IS were among
the losers.

NEW YORK, Sept 5.-Charles Z.
Wilson, president Of General Electric
Co., said today that defense
products certainly are rolling now"
from American factories and pre-
dicted constantly speeded up produc-
ton for the future.
AT press conference after a
meeting of the companys directors,
Wilson disclosed that the big manu-
featuring concern, employing 10000
persons, was devcting about go per
cent of its output to defense products
and that production was at the
highest levels in history.
He said orders in the third quarter
of this year would run higher than
the 1854 900 900 received in the sec
ond quarter and that the output for
the first nine months of l94l would
run so to IS per cent ahead of the
like 1910 period when S287 100000
worth of business was handled.
Next year" said Wilson. I'VE
expect to increase our operations
at a similarly accelerating rate"
He said he did not speak for the
defense industries as whole but
indicated he believed similarly great
production advances were being
made by other companies.
The directors voted a dividend cf
IS cents a share, the same as de-
clared twice previously this year.
Wilson said he thought that. de-
spite the great increase of produce
ton, earnings would remain about
the same in the last half of 1941 as
in the first half.
He said the company was "ahead
or on schedule" on two-thirds of
all its defense orders and that very
few items in the remaining third
were more than a short period be-
hind time. But We anticipate Catch
ing up and getting ahead on these
orders shortly"
AS for the reputed bottleneck of
alrplane SuperchargerS, the General
Electric chief said his company ac-
tually was running ahead of sched-
ule on this production.
He disclosed that a new Navy tur-
bine plant would go into operation
next year at Erie, Pa.

End Of Coal Strike

BY NELSON SHEPARD.

Navy officials who returned here

coined news of the coal strike truce
as ending the immediate threat OF
a widespread shutdown in produc-
ton of steel-the Nations No. l

already has proved costly to the
defense program, it was said.
The effects of the curtailed pro-
duction will continue several days
after coal begins to flow again to
the blast furnaces, because reserve
supplies must be built up again.
The factor which caused Navy Off
cials most concern was the 20 per
cent slash in production ordered
by the Carnegie Illinois Steel Corp,
largest single producer in the world.
Roughly, they said. this means a
loss sof $4,000 tons of steel a week.

The situation was further aggra-

bility. The tin plant, it was said,

DETROIT. Nov. 22-President
Philip Murray of the c. I. o. as
sured President Roosevelt today that
&C. I. o. and its millions Of mem
bers stand ready to participate in
the battle of production toward the
end of defeating the Nazi forces
In letter to the Chief Executive,
Mr.. Muir ay called for national
unity and said the Congress OF
Industrial Organizations desires to
offer its contribution and perform
its obligations.
The letter was in reply to mes
sage from the President which was
read to the c. I. O.s convention last
Tuesday in which he called upon
the c. I. o. to cooperate in the
arms output without delay and
without Interruption
Convention Adj6urns.
The letter was released after the
C. I. o. adjourned its annual con-
vention during which it voted en-
dorsement of President Roosevelts
foreign policies and support to the
United Mine Workers attempt to
gain a union shop in captive coal
mines. The mine workers Policy
Committee accepted the Presidents
suggestion for ending the strike only
a few minutes after the convention
adjourned.
I'VE offer to the Government and
industry our full resources for the
maximum prosecution of the Ma
tional Defense Program in order
that we may soon establish world
based on economic security and po-
litical and religious freedom Mr..
Murray saio in his letter.
He said the c. l. o. represented
more than 100000 workers" who
were dedicated to the task OF doing
all within their power to eliminate
the menace of Hitlerism ''.
He added: National unity is, OF
course, essential today. All sections
of the labor movement, manage
ment and government must whole
heartedly unite behind our national
program. The strengthening and
growth of labor unions would estab-
lish the morale necessary for the
attainment of this end. Great par
ticipation in TIE national defense
program and a more active partici-
patton of labor in government are
essential.
National Unity Goal Cited.
"tIt is the sincere conviction OF
the Congress of Industrial Organi-
cations that with the adoption OF
the industry council plan would be
created the national unity which
all Americans are striving to OBJ
tain.
THE C. I. o. and its millions Of
members stand ready to participate
in the battle of production toward
the end of defeating the Nazi forces.
Our workers desire to produce more
and more guns. tanks, planes and
ships. We have expressed our de-
sire to utilize to the utmost degree
the mediation facilities of the Gov
ernment for the peaceful solution Of
industrial disputes"

reaus employ about 100000 more

1899, when the war was yet q war
of nerves.
The special defense agencies. the
authority for whose existence is
found for the most part in one
sentence in the Second Reorganiza-
ton Act. exist apart from the old,
established bureaus of the Gov
ernment, although the new ones
draw on the old ones for clerical
and expert assistance and for coun-
sci.
Responsible to President.
The new agencies function large
ly as the special government of
the President, responsible ultimately
only to him. Congress has been
given the opportunity to approve
the existence of these agencies by
providing them with appropriations
after they were set up. But Con-
gress in many instances had moth
ing to do with their creation. An
exception is the Lease-Lend Ad-
ministration. The Lease-Lend Acts
provide for an administrative ma
chinery to administer them.
Many of the new bureaus have
duties strangely similar to the du-
ties of old bureaus. The Once of
