Stock Market Uneven
SteeIs and Selected
Rails Improve
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The stock
market today got off to a somewhat
indecisive start on the new month,
and, while steels, scattered rails
and industrial specialties recovered,
many leaders remained in losing
territory.
Buying was predicated partly on
the inflationary outlook for rising
wages and prices and the belief that,
If major strikes are settled soon, a
prosperity wave may sweep over the
country. AT the same time, consid-
cradle caution was evident among
speculative and investment con-
tingents pending price increases
which likely will be granted steel
and other lines as a Washington
move to iron out labor difficulties
Dealings turned sluggish after a
moderately active opening. Steels
then displayed rallying tendencies
and the pace quickened a bit. Gains
of fractions to 2 points or more were
well distributed near the close but
numerous minus marks persisted
Transfers OF around 100000 shares
were among the, smallest for a full
session since early January.
Better performers included U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem, Republic Steel,
Youngstown Sheet, Chrysler, Santa
Fe, N. Y. Central, Philip Morris,
Boeing, Curtiss- Wright, Marine
Midland, United Merchants, Du
Pont, Paramount Pictures, Twen-
tieth Century-Fox, Schenley, Hiram
Walker, Distillers Corp. and Inter-
national Telephone.
Bonds were narrow.

Rails Face Situation
Worse Than in War

The Nations railroad transporta-
ton system is facing worse situa-
ton than it contended with during
the war years, Col j. Monroe John
son, director of the Office of Defense
Transportation, said yesterday.
The Nations rail transportation
is as extended and as difficulty
situated as it ever was during the
war and maybe more So" Col. john
son said, World War II, trans
portation-wise, will be fought for
the next several years"
I'VE would have been in a bad
Ipredicament" if the war had lasted
another year." he said.
The ODT director said he doesn't
know of an answer to the Nation S
critical transportation problem. He
pointed out that car loadings today
are heavier than ever before and
said efforts to ship 100000 bushels
Of wheat and hundreds of tons of
coal to Europe will further tax the
transportation system.
Speaking at a luncheon meeting
of the Public Utilities and Trans
portation Committee of the WASH
ington Board of Trade in the Shera-
ton Hotel, Col. johnson declared the
constantly increasing load on Amer
lean railroads is typified by the fact
that more has been shipped during
this January than was handled last
January when the war was IN
progress.

GIN Talks Continue
On Minor Issues as
Pay Decision Waits
Py the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Feb. IA third Gov
ernment sponsored conference
aimed at clearing away the minor
issues in the General Motors strike
was called today, but it found presi-
dents of both company and union
sitting on the sidelines.
Although the sessions apparently
were following a pattern cut out by
Special Mediator James F. Dewey,
any final agreement on wages and
other major" issues appeared un-
likely in the absence of the corpora
tion's C. E. Wilson and the CIO
United Auto Workers r. j. Thomas.
Mr.. Thomas left the second COM
pany-union meeting in the GIN
building yesterday, walked across
the street to international union
headquarters and announced he
would not return until there Is
some indication that GIN wants to
settle the strike
His withdrawal left the union
delegation in charge of Vice Presi-
dent Walter P. Reuther. The COM
pany has been represented through
out the resumed negotiations by
Vice President Harry w. Anderson.
In addition to wages, on which
the company and union are at least
six cents an hour apart, Mr.. Dewey
said the major issues include a dis
pute over reinstatement of a main
tenance of membership clause in
any new contract negotiated.
Another question to be solved, &C
cording to Mr.. Dewey, is whether
seniority or merit should carry the
more weight in promotion of Cen
eral Motors 175,000 production
workers, who have been on strike
since November 81.
The special mediator, assigned to
the GIN strike by Secretary of
Labor Schwellenbach, said agree
ment on this and as many other
issues as possible would be sought
before we take up the main issues"
When the wage issue comes up
Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Wilson are
expected to lead their respective
delegations.

Writers heralded the event as
marking an epic in the state.
Scott z. Henderson, well known
Tacoma attorney, however, points
out that this was by no means the
first grape festival in the state or
that grape culture is a new indus
try. He has impressive evidence
in the shape of an issue of the
Kennewick Reporter for Septem-
Der q, 1911. Mr.. Henderson was
a newspaper editor at that time
and his name appears on the edit
orial page of the Reporter as lts
editor. On its first page is head
line announcing that "Queen To-
kay was being crowned in the
first great carnival held in the
state. Grape culture had already
been started successfully in the
Columbia valley and the winner
of the Hill cup exhibited Is var
ieties of choice European grapes
grown in central Washington.
"Some of the figures who par
ticipated in the event are well
known in Tacoma. Mrs. G. E.
Hanson sang the coronation solo.
She is now resident of Day Is
land. The queen of the festival
was Mrs. r. G. Mounsey, now re-
