More Headaches for the Farmer

which if applied throughout the industry would
amount to S 35 0OO0 900.
Steel workers are already among the highest
paid wage-earners in America. Before the
strike their average earnings approximate
ly $1.16 an hour, 1926 day and $46.32
week k-on forty-hour week. The u. S. Steel
offer would have given them about $1.31 an
hour, $10.46 day and $52.32 week. But
they refused it, and accused the steel industry
of conspring to ruin the union with an offered
wage increase of $25 month, the highest in
crease in the industry's history.
The strike is a direct violation Of the contract
between the union and the steel companies.
The union wanted long-term contract and got
it, The union agreed not to strike during the
life Of the contract. Yet, the union struck on
January 2l.

Fighting for a Way of Life

Farmers have big stake in continuous steel
production. They have opportunity to say
what they think about unchecked labor monop-
oGes which bring to a stop the nation recovery
efforts, through excessive wage demands which
could only add to initiation and cause soaring
prices.
Not until enough of them protest unfair, die
tatorial actions and urge proper safeguards
against arrogant, needless union leadership and
one-sided labor laws will the country get back
to sane, profitable production where everyone
works together toward better standard of
living.

Once more the farmer is being asked to break
all food production records. To plow more
acres feed more livestock and harvest more
crops than ever BEFORE He is being asked to do
this SO that America may continue to feed and
clothe the needy throughout the world, as we'll
as our own folks at home.
To carry out this job the farmer must have
tools of production Most of those he owns have
taken a terrific beating. They can't be tied
together much longer with rusty fence wire
In the teeth of this situation, the farmer
into strike in the steel ndustry-a strike
which hit at the heart of food production.
When the steel plants shut down, manufac-
turers of farm machinery and equipment, farm
trucks and tractors cannot get steel for their
products
This year the farmer won't receive as many
Of the requirements he desperately needs.
He'll fight ahead with his DID, broken machin
cry trying to crack another food production
record but the cards are stacked against him.
All this means more headaches for the far
mer - loss Of vital food production, and bad
dent in his pocketbook.

No Reason For Puzzle

It makes some folks bite their
nails, they get so perplexed.
There's no reason why our pro-
gram should be a puzzle" Schram
said.
This is a public market and
any public market place is exposed
to abuse. Our member firms cam
not refuse to take orders from the
public, because this Is, rightfully,
an open market.
But, on the other hand, We can't
afford to be abused. Any wild ex-
cesses on the market would be very
detrimental to our business"
Schram said 1t was purely a bus
mess proposition. The Stock Elk
change, In order to maintain q
stable market, wants all buyers to
be well-informed before they buy.
Naturally, we believe that they
would be smart to go to members
Of our Exchange for their tnforma-
tion," Schram said.
There are a great many broker
age firms in New York City which
are not members Of the New York
Exchange.
Purpose For National
At least IS percent Of the Ex-
changes business comes from areas
outside greater New York, and this
Is the why advertisements are on
a national basis.
Schram refused to comment on
the stability Of the present market,
and he carefully avoided the obvi-
Gus comparison between wild spec
ulation on the market and betting
on the races.
Every time I mention the races,
I get into trouble" he said.
But, Just the same, you might as
well know right now that there Is
a feeling along Wall Street that
you shouldn't regard a share OF
stock as you do a pari-mutuel tick
ct.
When he first started out, In the
early days, would Schram ever have
believed that some day he might
be advising certain people not to
buy into the market?
Emil Schram laughed.
Possibly not he admitted, but,
after all, times have changed"

New York, Feb. IS - 0UP) Il
you're heading for Wall Street
eager for a little free and easy
profit, we can give you a hot tip
straight from the president Of the

forget about it.
Buy your wife a new hat. buy

buy War Bonds, but keep away
from these easy money" rumorS
that are always floating about.
Not that Emil Schram, who has
been president Of the New York
Stock Exchange since 1871, Is OPP
posed to speculation.
I'VE are not" he said today.
Speculation Is a good thing. It's
one Of the things which helped to
make this country great. But I'm
opposed to it being done by people
who refuse to use good judgment"
For the first time in its history,
the Exchange is carrying on an ed
ucational campaign by way Of adj
vertisements telling the little man"
not to be a chump, and not to in
vest money that he can't afford to
lose.
idea His Own
One advertisement concerns q
grapevine with the somber warning
don't listen to it," while another
shows a perplexed businessman
wearing q Ounce cap and saying
i tried to get rich quick"
The campaign idea was mine"
Schram said. II figured it out sew
eral years ago and We decided to
put into operation right after We
Day. I believe the first advertise
ment appeared the day after W.
Day.
The advertisements are running
in over 400 newspapers and maya
zines, reaching an estimated audi
ence of 100000
Schram, tall and heavy set, seems
little puzzled by the public's sur
prise when it finds the Stock Ex-
change, Of all things, telling 1t not
to buy stocks. It's something like
a pinball machine rising up on its
hind legs, Just as a player is about
to produce his nickel, and yelling:
"Hey, think it over, wouldn't
do that"
