Steel Union Leaders
Meet Today 10 Fix
Date for Strike
By tn. Associated Press.

by inc hSsOClHbeu fTeSS.
PITTSBURGH, Dec. TIL e
Go United Steel Workers l75-man
Wage Policy Committee gathered
here today to decide what one union
spokesman termed "the date of a
Nation-w wide steel strike"
The spokesman. who refused to
permit use of his name, said the
strike announcement probably would
be made during the day and that the
walkout might be called for some
time In January"
He said there was no foundation
to rumors that the USW planned to
call a series OF strikes, hitting first
one company, then another.
Strike Call Authorized.
Union members in ~ States have
by a vote authorized calling a strike
to support their demand for a wage
increase Of 81 day. The walkout
would affect approximately 100000
steel workers.
The larger steel firms have stated
they cannot pay the raise asked by
the USW without increasing prices.
The OPA has refused a general price
increase to the industry.
About so smaller steel Arms, whose
representatives met here yesterday,
voted unanimously to ask the Once
Of Price Administration to continue
price control and grant price ad-
justments in individual cases involv-
ing financial hardships, the OPA
announced.
Warren w. Huff, price executive
OF the OPA metals branch, said,
The smaller companies do not re-
ceive profits from diversified line
of products"
Closed Session Held.
Todays meeting Of the USW Pol
icy Committee followed a closed SEES
sion yesterday Of the Executive
Board, composed OF 80 district union
representatives and four interna-
tional officers, including Philip Muir
ray, USW president, who also is
president of the CLIO.
Although the steel industry has
experienced strikes before, a walk
out affecting more than a half mil
lion of its workers would be unpre-
cedented.
The present union OF steel work
ers-successor of the old Amalga-
mated Iron Steel and Tin Workers
claims a total membership, in
Guiding men in the armed service,
Of nearly 1000, 900, embraces work
ers in the aluminium, iron ore and
allied metal Industries, In addition
to basic steel.

Chicago Police Hunt
For Maniac in ki||inu
OF Ex-Wave in Hotel
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE brutal
murder Of comely Frances Brown,
33-year-old stenographer and former
WAVE, by a man police described as
maniac, was under investigation
by Chicago's top detectives today.
Whoever the killer was. he's
maniac, and we must get him"
Capt. Frank Reynolds said as police
intensified their search to solve the
latest in a series of slayings in Chi
cago in the last week, in which nine
persons were slain. Three of the
deaths have not been solved
Miss Brown, discharged from the
WAVES last September after three
years of service, was killed some
time yesterday morning In her
apartment at the Pine Crest Hotel
in the North Side Lakeview district
They slayer twice shot and twice
plunged an eight-inch bread knife
into the throat of Miss Brown and
then left her nude body hanging
over a bathtub. A hotel maid found
the body of Miss Brown, who
weighed IS pounds.
The killer, before leaving, wrote a
message on the wall in lipstick in
large, uneven letters. 1t read: For
heavens sake catch me before I kill
more. I cannot control myself"
Criminologists studied the writing
in efforts to obtain clews. The let
tiers we're three to six inches high
and about six feet from the floor.
Capt. Reynolds theorized the STAY
er was prompted by sex desire and
surprised Miss Brown in her room.
Another theory was that the killer
was thief. The victims room was
ransacked and her purse emptied.
The slayer gained entry from fire
escape.
Miss Brown was alone. Her room
mate, Miss Viola Butler, 80, a ste
nographer employed at the same
company with Miss Brown, had been
away over the week end.
A medical examination disclosed
that Miss Brown, who first came to
Chicago in 1884 from her home in
Richmond, Ind, to work as ste
nographer, had not been criminally
assaulted.
Several suspects were questioned
and Capt. Reynolds said stranger"
seen leaving the apartment hotel
early yesterday was being hunted.

Asked how many freight cars had
piled up on the Pennsylvania lines

estimated that there were some

BABS0N FAVORS
UTILITY STOCKS

BABSON PARK, Mass, June ID.
Rich people may not now be in
terested in income from securities
because they have 10 pay so much
of it back to the government in
taxes. The great mass of people.
however, prefer to have their mon
ey well invested and paying good
interest. Then they like to spend
this interest and not disturb thei;
principal. Hence, inthe l ong run,
the question of income is the basic
factor in the stock and bond mar
kets. This should be even more
true later because next year, per-
sonal and corporation taxes will
probably be reduced.
For the above reason, Wall
Street has the saying: Idle funds
soon burn holes in peoples pock-
ets.'' Most people do not work and
slave just to keep money idle
They want to see it work and earn
SO it will help support them. This
will be all the more important
when the cost of living goes up as
it will after Japan collapses. In
fact, this will be especially true
of those who must live on the in
terest which they get from invest
ed capital.
Most investors do not look at the
price at which their bonds or
stocks are selling; but only at the
dividends which they get. They
may have bought percent stock
for $100 which has gone up to $3.50;
and hence, from mathematical
viewpoint, now yields only 4 per-
cent. Yet they refuse to sell it be-
cause the dividend is still $500 per
year. This stubbornness on the
part of most investors may some
times be a mistake. Certainly it
is one reason why the market
steadily goes up. The buyers are
increasing, with few peopel willing
to sell.
Now your banker may tell you
that the pei cent days have gone
by and if you do sell per cent
can no longer be secured else
where with. even fair safety. But
1 disagree with him. Some of the
good public utilities still earn per
cent and should earn more after
World War II is over and corpo1.
alton taxes are reduced. Of course,
you must hunt for them. Such in.
vestments do not go begging;
but you can get them if you insist
why is it" you ask that one
can get 6 per cent from utility
