Yonks Use Trick to Tie Doub|e-P|oy Mark

NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-Not
only did the Mats contrive to
finish in a siXth-place tie with
the Browns during their four
game series with the Yankees,
but they helped the American
League champions TO equal a
major league record for double
plays. When Yesterdays game
started the Bombers needed one
more to tie the mark of 1874. set
in 1923 by the Cincinnati Reds,
and the Mats were especially CO.

Here's the way the Yanks got
the record-tying double play:

Hudson singled and George Case
bunted safely to move him to
second. Doc Cramer then sent

Strikes Unlikely
To Disturb Auto
Industry in 7o47

Except for a possible car materials
shortage, which might adversely af-
feet motorplart employment, the
labor outlook for 1941 in the auto
motive industry appears bright, ac-
cording to Pete Wemhoff, editor
Automotive News.
Auto workers unions have con-
tracts with all major companies
Ford excepted, and naturally
there will develop minor disputes as
labor seeks readjustments of wages
in line with rising prices and in
creased demand for workers. How
ever, through Government pres
sure or the public's resentment, it
is doubtful that strikes will be re-
sorted to except under extreme cir
cumStanceS.
The C. LOU. A. w. is strengthen
ing its organization of Ford workers,
but it appears unlikely that any
major disturbances will develop here
during the coming year.

grade corporate issues, the risks of
f1uctuation, is 6, very important off,
setting consideration from the stand
point of the bond buyer today.
Another very large group of bonds,
generally and quite accurately classi-
fled as speculative, are priced and
are appraised in the market place in
very much the same manner as
common stocks. An average group
of such bonds yields today over 8
per cent but the holder or purchaser
of such bonds is not interested so
much in the yield as he is in the
earnings background and speculative
possibilities of this type of obliga-
ton. Most of the bonds in this clas-
siflcation today are the obligations
of railroad systems, over many of
which hangs the persistent threat
of reorganization or default. 1t is
natural, therefore, that the high
yields obtainable in the field becomes
meaningless when compared with
those, for instance, on United States
Government bonds. Yields above 10
per cent are not uncommon on the
obligations of railroads which 20
years ago were considered in the
blue-chip class.
Higher Yields, Higher Risks.
AS might be expected in a world
engulfed in war on every continent
except North and South America,
the obligations of foreign govern
ments, previously sold in this coun-
try, are selling at extremely low
prices and so return a very high
yield. On typical group this yield
is better than IA per cent. AS in the
case of domestic speculative bonds,
the threat of default is so important
a factor in any decision about their
value that to make any comparison
by yield is rather meaningless. They
can only be purchased as specula-
ton upon the outcome of the war,
and the economic position of the
various countries when peace comes.
All in all, those institutions and
investors who by tradition, or legal
necessity, or personal circumstance
must place their funds in credit OBJ
legations face a rather unenviable
task in making selections in the
bond market of today. To obtain
like what used to be
reasonable income return, credit
risks have to be assumed in mar
ginal industries and companies,
otherwise they must compete with
each other at very low yields and
high prices for the issues of existing
companies and of the United
States Government.
Even in such classifcations, 2 per
cent yields do not seem to ade-
quately compensate for the risks of
loaning money on long-term basis,
money which will not be paid back
for 10 or 20 years.

investor Faces Dilemma in Divergent Currents Of Bond Market

The 1910 pay roll was S3,440,000 over
the 1889 figures, and nearly $4,000
new employees were added during
the year.
Another potent factor in assaying
the continued development of the
Metropolitan Area is the setting up
of the new Defense Commission.
If, as we are to believe, the Nation
IS to secure itself from aggression
from without, the spearhead of all
organization efforts must be direct
ed from Washington. The records of
thousands Of soldiers, sailors, ship
yard workers, air force, etc. all
newly inducted into the service, must
be maintained, and it follows that
a highly skilled personnel must be
assembled here for that purpose.
Yes, Washington is growing and
growing fast. The 1910 census re-
corded the amazing increase of 1862
per cent over the 1880 figures. I
believe that the coming decade will
see the Nations Capital and the
contiguous area progress even fast
er. This growth will be no super
fetal boom, no Wild-catting, no
mushroom expansion. 1t will be
marked by a steady push outward
with modern homes, mostly built for
small families and priced in ranges
that will appeal to the majority OF
our citizens.
Constant Changes Studied.
The associations comprising the
Building and Loan League in Wash
ington are keenly cogniZant of the
part they must play in this great
development. They realize that they
are an important part in the build
ing Of a new and greater Capital,
but at the same time they are aware
of the responsibilities that go hand
in hand with leadership. To that end
the appraisers of all institutions are
continually reviewing the fast
changing picture, keeping attuned to
the tempo of the times.
I am confident that during the
coming year the building and loan
associations will meet the chal-
lenge ably and we'll. The 145000
members who make up the owner
ship Of the groups have accumu-
lated over s15OOOoOOO, which sum,
dedicated to the future of this great
city, is ample pledge to their faith
in it.

Washington Gas Net
In S19,369 Slump
During November

The report of the Washington Gas
Light Co. for the month of Novem-
Der, 1910, filed with the Public Utlll-
ties Commission yesterday, shows
operating revenues of S8l2,482 for
the month, an increase of 1881
over November last year. Operating
expenses, including taxes and de-
probation, amounted to S65l POT this
November, compared with 1884 ,675
for November 1899, an increase of
66,532, of which s34,024 represents
increased taxes.
Incorporating income increased
1883 to a total of S21,4l6. and in
come deductions show saving OF
S1.505 in November this year. The
final figure for November was net
income of sl16,930 compared with
S136,299 in the previous year, the
S19,369 reduction in net rejecting
the increase in taxes.
The result of the company's oper-
ations for the first II months of this
year was a net income of 81, l,106,377,
a gain of s131 529 or 135 per cent
over the same period last year.
Taxes for the II months amounted
to S838062, an increase of Sl75,552
over 1889.
The report shows gas sales of
1,239972 M cubic feet for the month,
an increase of 80346 NJ cubic feet
or nearly 7 per cent over November,
1899 There we're 165,5O5 meters in
service on November 80 this year,
an increase of 1913 over the same

The company expended approxi-
mately S122,000 in November and

Typewriter Demand

National defense activities COM

in the company's 34-year history,
said E. c. Faustmann, president of
the Royal Typewriter Co.
The national defense program, and
the activity which it generated,
widened demand for standard ma
chimes in 1910. Increasing national
income coupled with the rapid
growth of the use of typewriters
in children's education, broadened
the demand.

The steadineSS of bond prices in
1910 will stand out for many years
Low interest rates may be eX-
pected to prevail over long period
Neither bankers nor investment
leaders see prospects of any real
Tightening of money rates in the
near future. Hence there should be
no extended selling of bonds be-
cause of any expected change IN
rates. Bonds will continue IN great
favor, in the opinion of leading
financierS.
Private Sales Deplored.
During the past year investment
dealers have been much dlsappolnt-
ed over the growing number of new
issues that have been taken by the
big insurance companies without
being offered for public sale. This
has seriously cut into business for
merly handled by investment bank
ers and at the same time has kept
many sound issues away from the
public.
In many instances large outStand-
ing issues have been refunded at
lower interest rates, the new issues
not being made available to holders
of the called bonds. To find other
fixed income securities of equal
safety, yield and prospects has been
a difficult problem for hond houses.
Dealers. however. have taken good
care of their clients and secured
bonds of merit to replace funded
issues
The idea is a mistaken one that
there are few bonds still available
which offer proper safety and at
the same time return generous
yields to the investor. High-grade
bond lists reveal many such issues.
1t would not be wise to predict that
top-grade issues. which are now
selling far above par, will work
much higher in 1941. There are,
however, secondary bonds that may
go higher.
Refunding Anticipated.
During 1941 there will probably
be more refunding issues brought
out than new financing. Bond deal
ers naturally hope that a good pro-
portion of these bonds will be Of
fered the public. The coming year
could see a tremendous amount of
new financing in connection with
the national preparedness program.
During the year just ended the
demand was strong among private
investors and institutional buyers
for most of the new offerings. Much
the same situation should prevail
in 1941, Tax fears are a retard-
ing influence, but there are still
huge sums of idle funds eager for
new investment opportunities, and
it is for the bond fraternity to find
the desired investments.
The Treasury's move to make all
Government bonds taxable in the
future is being watched with deep
interest in bond circles. So far, the
proposal has served to increase the
demand for other non-taXable
issues, giving them new scarcity
value" And recently Government
bonds have attained new peaks all
along the line.

Investing Companies
Are Gaining in Favor,
Survey Indicates
Federal Legislation
Clarifies Sound
Trust Practices
BY Cambridge Associates.

BY Cambridge Associates.
The year 1910 has consolidated
the gains made by investment trusts
in recent years. These gains have
had to do largely with regaining and
holding public confidence lost during
early years. Perhaps the most out
standing development has been the
passage of Federal legislation under
the title of the Investment Com
panies Act of 1910 This was based
on an extensive study of the problem
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The new statute clarifies and
points out in legal verbiage facts
which have long been accepted as
proper procedure by soundly man
aged concerns. In addition it places
the regulation of these companies
under the commission and provides
penalties for violation of its terms.
These penalties actually give the
commission the power to force re-
calcitrant concerns to go out OF
business.

Further Expansion Seen.

The year now opening will, in my
opinion, surpass the great building
expansion of 1910. There are a num-
ber of reasons why I am optimistic,
and I cannot help but feel that my
optimism is amply justified
First of all, let us consider the
Importance of the recent passing of
the Ramspeck bill by the Congress.
This new legislation will now cover
into classified civil service virtually
all members of the executive branch
of the Government, affecting be-
tween 10000 and 10000 employees.
It will mean that this group has
assurance that. all things being
equal, their jobs are protected and
they can thus entertain the idea of
owning a home Of their own
One of the chief obstacles to
home owning is the factor of un-
certainty both as to income and per-
manency Of position. With this bar
rier out of the way, it follows that a
great percentage Of these people
will become definitely home-con-
scious and will be quick to take
advantage OF the ample opportuni-
ties to possess a home of their own
in the District of Columbia or near
by Virginia and MARYLAND.
