.L0F Earnings
Show Decline

TOLEDO, Oct. %. - Libbey-
Owens Ford Glass Company for
the nine months ended September
80 reports a net profit of SLOTS
1T after provision of $616, 800 for
federal taxes on income or % cents
a share, q & ainst a net profit Of
Sc. 996 $50 or $2.78 a share in the
1871 period. when federal tax pro-
vision was Sc. 288, 238.
With its normal peacetime bust
ness still sharply curtailed, stock
holders of Libbey- Owens Ford
Glass Company should not expect
large net earnings under wartime
conditions. John D. Biggers, presi-
dent, stated.
The report also said that two of
the company's plants within the
past 30 days have started turning
out aircraft sub-assemblies. Pro-
duction. however, probably will not
reach large productions until early
next year as various aircraft on
which the parts are to be used are
not scheduled for large-scale pro-
duction until then.

On the
Business
Front


Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Com
pany expects TO do volume In
1913 double the best peacetime
volume of recent years. The
largest sales volume in the past
decade was the $5,016.644 total
for the fiscal year ended July
81, 1912. In the boom calendar
years, 1925-29 inclusive, the
company's sales averaged in ex-
cess of $11 900, 900 annually.
War orders are the answer to
the upsurge in sales. Since pro-
duction of vacuum cleaners
ceased on March 81. 1912. manu.
featuring activities of the COM
pany have been devoted solely
10 war purposes. Eureka is an
important producer of gas
masks and aircraft recognition
devices. and as a subcontractor
it makes various airplane parts.
The company in the year
ended July 81, last, had the best
earnings since the boom era OF
the 1920's. There was a net
profit of S421 $50, compared
with a loss of $475,112 the pre-
vious year. A substantial part
of this profit came from the
vacuum cleaner business.

Ask Lower
Royalty
Rate ON Oil

WASHINGTON. Oct. % CUP).
The Senate public lands COM
mittee today approved legislation
designed TO stimulate the search
for petroleum deposits by lowering
to 1914 per cent the royalty
charge on oil production from the
public domain.
The bill. sponsored by Senator
Joseph c. O'Mahoney Cd. Wy
oming. would apply the 1914 per
cent royalty rate for a period of
10 years to all oil produced from
reserves on government owned
lands discovered after passage of
the measure.
The present royalty rate rises
above 1914 per cent by a stepup
scale in accordance with the
amount Of production and the
market price of crude oil.

Manpower Chiefs,
Weissbrod+ Disagree
On Labor Supply Here
By SILVER FREEMAN

There appears to be a dis
agreement between the War
Manpower Commission in Wash
ington and the War Production
Board regional office here on the
availability of labor in the De-
troit area for war contracts.
The VINO warned yesterday
that Detroit and other sections
of Michigan could not handle
any more orders because OF
labor shortages.
Just Tuesday morning, Hugo
Weissbrodt, deputy regional di-
rector of the WPB here. in
charge of operations. told repre-
sentatives of % plants doing war
work that facilities and labor
are still available in the Detroit
area" Weissbrodt did point out
that Jackson and Muskegon
were at the saturation point.

Ignore Swap-Ride

Another thing, the need for
swapping rides has been stressed
in all the plants. But q check
at the Pontiac main gate showed
that 801 cars were carrying only
1883 passengers or an average
of less than two to a car.
Gasoline rationing and the 35-
mile speed limit have been or
dered on a national basis to keep
the cars on the road for the
duration. The essential driving
of war workers brought about
these drastic measures.
But when Is per cent of the
cars examined need recapping.
40 per cent are under-inflated
and 10 per cent need wheel align
ment, it seems hopeless to adopt
such measures without first en-
forcing the primary rules of tire
care. Even the savings brought
about through cutting out extra
driving. by curbing the gas sup
ply and prolonging the rubber
by lower speeds will not make
up for what is lost through care
lessness and inattention.
Be it to the credit of Pontiac
that steps are being taken to
correct this condition there. The
plant protection advisory COM
mittee is making periodic exami-
nations of the workers tires and
leaving notices on the cars call
ing attention to what should be
done. In cases of recapping. il
the owner of the car does not
heed the notice. be will be barred
from receiving tires in the
future.

no serial number-no IA card,

ing their tires. A survey taken
some time ago at Yellow Truck
and Coach in Pontiac showed a
deplorable lack of attention to
such common practices as wheel
