Stocks Mixed;
Motors Ease


NEW YORK, Sept. p CINS)--
Stocks opened firm and active to-
day but turned mixed and quiet
when profit takers renewed oper-
ations in scattered leaders late
in the first hour.
Trading moved along al fair
clip. approximating 10000 shares
in the first period as against
100000 yesterday.
Losses ranged 10 a half point
with steels and motors Softest.
u. S. Steel and Bethlehem both
lost ground. At 1874 Chrysler
was down a. General Motors
eased TO 1914, off Il. Rails were
hesitant with Pennsylvania Rail-
road and Southern Pacific off a
bit.
Utilities were steady. High
priced blue chips were generally
better. Allied Chemical advanced
at point. Coppers continued to
forge ahead with American Smelt-
ing up more than a point Other
market groups were quiet and
narrow.
Bond market prices appeared
firm although turnove was
limited.

Last Rolls Engine

The last of nearly $4,000
Rolls-Royce engines has rolled
off the production line. Engine
No. 55,523 marked the compile
tion of a tough war assign
ment.
Packard undertook the job in
1910 when other auto manu-
facturers turned the job down.
The company went into produc-
tion less than 10 months later,
despite 'left-handed" English
drawings and other obstacles.
Packard turned the engines
out in great quantities, mostly
ahead of schedule. At one time
it had as many as $4,000 persons
working.
The last Rolls engine was
speeded off the line by George
T. Christopher, president Of
Packard. and Vincent kaznow-
ski, 62-year-old engine assem-
bier. The latter also saw the
last Liberty engine come off
Packard's line back in 1918.

Edison Profit
Drops Sharply

Detroit Edison Co. and sub
salaries report net income OF
S6,143,97s, equal to 81 cents a
share. in the II months ended
Aug. 81. This compares with
earnings of Ss,347,57S or S1.31 a
share in the corresponding period
ended Aug. 81, 1914.
Net income for both periods is
after provision for postwar ad-
justments.
The figures for the 1914 period
have been restated TO reflect a
new method Of computing income
and excess profits taxes. Begin
ming July /. 1914. these tax pro-
visions are based on income earned
in each month as against the
prior method OF allocating one
twelfth OF the estimated annual
tax TO each month Of a calendar
year.

Labor S Stand

Suppose that / were 70 argue

oVERSTATE PROFITS

In the first place, the labor
leaders and their hired econ
omists" make misleading compari-
sons.
They take the years 1858 as
base, and on that base show
that the steel industry has had
an increase in profits of ff3 per
Gent. But that period was one
Sbf extremely low earnings for the
industry. In two Of the five years
no appreciable profits were made
at all
In the second place. the labor
leaders overstate the recent
profits. One can say positively
that proper reserves" for depre-
citation and contingencies are a
true charge against the earnings
of a business. They are not A
part of profits, as the labor lead
ers assert.

Flour Mills
Hating Sales

NEW YORK, Sept. 21-Most
mills grinding spring wheat flour
in the Northwest have withdrawn
from the market or are preparing
to do so.-The only flour being
sold is to customers who are con-
fronted with hardship cases.
The reason for the withdrawal
is that production costs have
jumped sharply since Sept ! and
mills cannot sell flour at the cell
ing without taking a loss as the
price Of cash wheat has risen out
of bounds.

LIMIT EXCEEDED

And surely the limit even of
special pleading is exceeded when
labor leaders suggest that large
tax refunds can be collected by
the steel industry and can be used
TO pay increased wages in 1916,
even if no profits are earned
The war period, moreover. is a
peculiar one. II involves non-re-
current items of income. 1t in
wolves a difficult transition. for
which extraordinary provision
should be made.
A point Of great Importance is
the fact that the figures pre-
Sented are totals or averages for
all the companies in the industry.
The fact is that there are many

VALID PROOF

The labor leaders, who are de-
manding a flat Is cents an hour
increase from all steel companies,
should consider the marginal or
high-cost companies which make
little profit. Many mills can't af-
ford 10 pay overtime today and,
as war controls end, are seeking
to go back to a 40-hour week.
The, truth is that labor does
not and should not share in busi-
ness losses. 1t does not assume
business risk. 1t gets stipulated
payment in advance of sales.
The only valid proof that higher
wages are deserved would be
proof that labor has increased its
