Wage Boosts.
Strikes Depress
Security Markets
BY b. c. FORBES

A more belligerent attitude by
President Roosevelt ward
Hitler. combined with the new
cooperation being wrung by
Germany from France, has in
tensified uncertainty.
The announced determination
TO send American ships to the
Dead Sea area. which Hitler has
proclaimed a war area, has ag-
gravated apprehension over what
may shortly happen.
The security markets have
been depressed also by the up
surge of actual and threatened
strikes, by the spreading wage
increases. and by Washington's
refusal TO adopt towards labor
anything like the anti-inflation
firm stand it has taken toward
industry.
The latter is being subjected
To federal order after order,
whereas labor is allowed to do

pared 10 accept Sacrifices
unions are permitted. without
official protest. 10 insist upon
additional gains. even at the cost
of delaying preparedness.

Basic Resources

On the whole. a consideration
81 group action indicates that
the best performance was turned
in by the copperS and oils.
There were three oils among the
y most active stocks. and none
OF them declined. CopperS held
well during the week. and some
*. C. kennecotD showed signs
Of strength.
- This combination may be sig
nifcant. The oils and copperS
are fundamentally similar in
that they both represent eXtrac-
tive industries which are apt TO
benefit by initiation. Incidentally.
both are limited natural re-
source industries, required for
war and tied in with South
American relations.

eminent interference. As nearly
