Stock Prices Narrow
And Irregular in
Quiet Dealings
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 1l-Demand
continued for selected stocks in to-
days brief market, but many leaders
were neglected.
The usual hesitancy in extending
commitments at the approach of a
week end served as a recovery brake
and little more profit taking on
the recent rise was mild handicap.
Sentiment still was bullish, however,
because of the belief year-end tax
liquidation had pretty well run it's
course and the hope reinvestment
requirements would bring further
general recovery before the end of
the year. Some customers leaned
to conservatism pending the next
big European war move.
Fractional variations either way
ruled at the opening and, while
strong spots were in evidence near
the close, the minus ranks were
fairly we'll populated. Dealings
quickened at intervals and trans
fers for the two hours were around
100000 shares.
Another run-up of most grain fu-
lures to new seasonal tops was a
bolstering influence for the securi-
ties department. St. Paul Railway
bonds rallied briskly in the wake of
the revised reorganization plan for
this road issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission

In Bonuses to | ,3OOWorkers

The company's wartime produc-
ton is essentially its peactime line,
arc welding machines and welding
electrodes.
u. F." estimated the firm has paid
about $4,000, 900" in bonuses since
1884. He told an interviewer the
bonus "is the one most helpful of
many things we have done to bring
management and labor together"
The bonus is calculated on one
variable and two mathematical fac
tors. he explained. They are length
of service In years, basic earnings for
the past year, and what the mans
immediate superior thinks Of him."
One of the three $5O,0O0 bonuses
goes to an engineer who redesigned
production methods on a welding
machine, reducing costs so per cent
and saving the Government at least
s4,o00,OO0," Mr.. Lincoln said.

coin Electric Co. employees, who, he
claims, are "the best as we'll as the
highest-paid" factory people in the

The tenth annual bonus payments
average about one years salary to
the veteran production line Joes and
Janes-the whole amount divides to
$2,225 apiece-but some of the neo-
phytes draw as little as $25 and
three engineers draw $4,000 each.
Mr.. Lincoln himself, now engaged
in fight over the Navy's efforts to
renegotiate his 1S42 contracts to the
extent of $3,250, 900, does not partici-
pate in the bonus, nor does his older
