Late Buying Lifts
Grains Close 10
Recent Peaks
Prices Near Five-Yeor
Highs Established
EorIier in Week
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

hosOCihtpo EhCoS 3AsAASs
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-A late rush
to buy today lifted grain futures
prices back to near top levels for the
past five years, reducing losses In
flicted by profit taking since these
peaks were established earlier IN
the week.
Finishing at the days highs,
wheat closed A-1 cent higher than
yesterday, May $l.32b-l33, July
$1.34la-%; corn 2s-h up. May $685.
y, July e1h-5s; oats unchanged
to u up; rye 1A-1A higher, May
89h-A; soybeans 3a-3A higher,
May $l.99-1.98T; and lard 3 higher
to 3 lower. Soybeans had registered
gains of more than 4 cents at one
time but about cent was shaved
away by late profit taking.
Rye contracts established new
highs since 1887 and other grains
were only fractionally below the
five-year peaks established yester-
day. July soybeans hit a top Of
s2.01K, within x Of the all-time high
posted for this commodity last Sep
tember.
Short Sales Covered.
Last-minute buying OF processing
interests and professional traders,
many Of whom were covering prev
ious short sales for the weekend. ac-
counted for most of the markets
strength. However, increased war
demands for feed grains, oil pro-
ducing crops and those yielding
sugar and alcohol were the funda-
mental bullish factors.
Wheat prices rose about cents
this week, corn almost cents, rye
cents and beans 10 cents. Since
Pearl Harbor wheat has gained IL
to II cents, corn 8, oats 6 to 7. rye
18 to 10 and soybeans about 80
cents.
Traders restrained buying en-
enthusiasm to some extent because
of likelihood of continued Com
modify Credit Corp. sales Of old
stocks of wheat and corn due to the
fact that present market prices are
above minimums at which this grain
is offered for sale. Large sales of
Government grain were reported at
some terminals but some traders
placed a bullish Interpretation on
this because Of evidence that the
c. c. c. is succeeding in disposing
of ever-normal granary stocks with
out seriously depressing prices.
Big Supplies Sold.
During the week ending January
II the Government sold about 49,
350, 900 bushels of corn and 1885,
900 bushels of 1939-40 wheat, leav-
ing 110,652,O00 and 139, ,761 900
bushels respectively still in its pos
session. Grain men pointed out
that more than half of the remain
ing c. c. C. supply Of corn has been
earmarked for conversion into
alcohol and, because prices are well
above original loan rates at which
l938-39-40 corn now under seal was
stored, little of this grain is ex-
pected to be turned over to the
Government.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The Asso-

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Rails again
held the buying play in todays
stock market and enabled the List
to emerge from . desultory week
pointing selectively upward.
Nothing much Of IN tnspirational
nature was seen In the war news
and the broadening appetite for car
rier securities were still attributed
partly to hopes the I. G. c. would
duplicate the fare boost with .
freight rate increase and to expecta-
tions mounting revenues and traf-
f1c would put the long-sufiering
roads well In the black.
Another argument brought out In
Wall Street for the transportation
division was that, If Congress al
tered the excess profits tax base
from average earnings to invested
capital, many systems would benefit
much moro than assorted industrial
companies.
The List got OF to Q fairly good
start and, ct the best, gains for
favorites ran to 2 points or 20. Top
marks were reduced In most cases
at the close. Steels. motors, rub
bers, aircrafts and mail orders did
little or nothing and minor declines
were plentiful.
Average Up Slightly.
The Associated Press average Of
80 stocks was up o. Of . point at
37.6, but on the week showed q net
loss Of 01. Dealings picked up at
intervals and transfers totaled 291,-
$50 shares, compared with 221, ITO
Q week ago.
Among new 1912 highs were
those of Santa Fe, Chicago Great
Western preferred and Gull Mobile
g. Ohio preferred. Common and
preferreds Of Nickel Plate, South
ern Railway, Pere Marquette and
Erie were well out in front through
out.
On the advancing side were Great
Northern, Southern Pacific. Penn
sylvania. New York Central, Amer
lean Telephone, Standard Oil New
Jersey, Texas Co.. Allied Chemical,
]. c. Penney, North American. Con-
solidated Edison, Kennecott and In
ternational Harvester.
Shares Of South Porto Rico Sugar
and Fajardo Sugar were up around
a point each as Washington report
ed threats of . serious shortage Of
the staple probably would result
soon in Federal rationing to con-
Sumers.
United States Gypsum slipped,
along with United States Steel,
Union Carbide and Glenn Martin.
-- Improve on Curb.
In q slim curb improvement was
registered for Cuban Atlantic Sugar,
American Gas, Bell Aircraft, Repub-
lie Aviation and Lehigh Coal. VOL

during the week, daily turnovers be-
ing among the smallest since last
October. Tax worries and fears Of
upsets IN the far Pacific conflict,
combined with enemy submarine at
tacks OF the Atlantic coast, served
to keep many ordinarily bullish Gus
toners in the background. As .
matter of fact, the rails were the
only group to finish the week with
an average gain.

YOU
BY RUTH TAYLOR

It's up to you! Whether the ques-
ton be the conduct of the war, civilian
defense, the speeding up of production,
or any of the other crucial problems
confronting the country today, the So
luton is up to you. For in either Il re-
public or Il democracy the power is
vested in the individual-and that
means you! When we speak of ma
tional unity, we mean national oneness
"a cohesion of all elements into one.
You are that one!
Through your vote you have the
power to effect whatever changes you
wish. Your vote is as potent as that
of any man in the country. But if you
neglect to vOte-dOn't complain of the
government that is elected.
Yours is the responsibility. You can't
expect cooperation if you are not co
operative. You can't expect fair play
unless you are willing to play fair. You
can't prate about discrimination if you
discriminate against others. You can't
whine about taxes and then complain
when you don't get the service you eX-
pect from the government of your
choice. You can't hope for victory in
Il war unless you are ready to give
your all whether it be in the front
lines or in the shops or in active com
munity work.
You have to be kind. You have to be
fair. You have to be tolerant. You
have to work. You have to fight. 1t
all begins and ends with you.
Neither Industrial disputes nor inter
national problems can be settled from
the top. You have to begin with your
self. TO achieve cooperative action
you yourself must be willing to coop
crate in the problems of every day liv-
ing
But you must stand firm on the
ideals in which you believe. You must
be articulate for the right, and-if you
are-you can be q power for good in
yourself.
What the future holds depends upon
yOu-upon me-upOn each and every
one of us as individuals. That is what
Il republic means That is what de
mOcracy stands for. 1t is Il personal
responsibility This is your war-and
mine. 1t is up to you-and me-and all
of us who have pride in our American
Citizenship--to VIII 1t.

The decision in favor Of the longer
work day was ratified by Il general
membership meeting of the union and
followed action 10y the Joint Confer

trical industry. comprising representa-
tives of the union and employers.
Union SiX-Kcur Advocate
Local >, biggest local of the interna-
tional brotherhood. adopted the six
hour day in 1886 as measure designed
10 alleviate unemployment in the New
York electrical industry. Until the out
break of the war it carried on an ener-
-etic campaign in the AFL for its
adoption by other crafts.
Van Arsdale said that So far the six
hour day in the electrical field in New
York has not hindered continuous Op-
Grafton. nor did it result in overtime,
since the union has always worked on
Il shift basis and has been able to fur
niSh labor whenever required.

Secretary Opposes
Further Tdxc-tion
Low Income Group Moking
Their "Eair Contribution
In Ioxes"

Washington, ID. C.-Secrefary of the
Treasury Morgenthau opposed further
taxation at this time of persons in the
lower income brackets, either through
lowering of present personal eXemp-
tiOns or Il general sales tax.
Morgenthau declared that the low
income groups are making their fair
contribution in taxes and cannot af-
ford to pay more.
Morgenthau struck back at selfish
interests" which are trying to shift
part of their tax responsibility to "the
underdog" and denounced with equal
vehemence proposals for Il sales tax or
further broadening of the income tax
base.
Il want to say that no further taxes
should be levied on these lowest in
come groups until every other avenue
of revenue has been exhausted and
every lOophOle has been closed"
Present personal income tax eXemp-
tionS continued under the Treasury s
war tax recommendations are SIJO
for single persons, $500 for married
and S4OO for each dependent
Morgenthau said study by his re-
search staff showed that the average
single person making $3.50 Il year al
ready pays $13O or 11.3 per cent OF
his income in direct Federal, State and
local taxes. He said Il married person
earning $500 pays about $500 or 161
| ppr cent of his income in SIcb faxes
In each case he said the tax. was
equivalent to about eight weeks
wages.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1942-03-26

He also said that at present / 800
members of the union. because of the
comparative scarcity of war construc-
tion in New York, have been compelled
10 seek work in other states where de-
fense work is more plentiful.
Patriotism Guides Union
While We realize that adoption of
the eight-hour day will increase unein-
ployment in Local b" Van ArsdaIe
said. we also recognize that it will
make skilled electricians available for
war work in other parts of the couIi-
try.
With this in mind, the union pa
triotically approved the action of the

Michigan Raises
Benefits To $1,000
Apr oxirndtelY S52.000.000
Will Be Paid This Year
To Unemployed

Detroit GLNS). - Legislation in
creasing unemployment benefits to $50
week for 20 weeks featured the sec
ond special session this year of the
Michigan legislature The legislation
was designed chiefly to help 100000 of
more workers who lost their jobs in
the transition to war production.
Under the new schedule apprOXi-
mately S52,O00,O00 will be paid this
year in unemployment benefits-about
$12OO0,O00 more than under present
rates. according to officials of the
Michigan Unemployment Compensation
Commission.
They said. however, they believed
that by the end of the year there
would be so little unemployment that
during 1912 and each year until the
end of the war between $4O,OOO,O0O
and $50000,0 900 would be added to the
benefit reserve fund, putting it into a
strong position to meet postwar adj
justments.
The amendments to the unemploy-
ment compensation act increased max
imum benefits from SIG week for no
more than Is weeks to $40 IL week for
20 weeks; cut the waiting period be-
fore receiving benefits from two weeks
to one; and provided that benefits CON
tinue for industrial workers While they
do temporary farm work.
| The amendments increasing benefit
payments are effective only until May
81, 1913. when they become imperative
unless reenacted by the legislature at
it's regular session.
