The ticker tape frequently was
at standstili after a quiet opening
While fractional advances were
fairly well distributed near the close,
many loosers persisted. Transfers
for the two hours ran to around
$780, 900 shares.
Professional operators nibbled
here and there on the idea selected
favorites may have been oversold
in view OF pleasing dividends and
earnings. Others continued to trim
accounts because of skepticism
regarding the business outlook, labor
legislation, taxes and wage-price
problems. Material shortages in
the automotive field bringing tenn
porary work stoppages still was a
SOLDERING influence for bullish forces.
Murky foreign affairs served to
restrain bidders.
In the resistant area were Western

Northern Pacific, Union Pacific,
Standard Oil of New Jersey, Allied
Chemical. General Motors, Mont

Fewer Buds This Year.
The laboratory said the damage
was particularly serious because
there were fewer buds this year. In
the Shenandoah Valley, the labora-

a normal crop was in prospect be-

From Martinsburg, w. Va, came
reports of some damage clinaxing
unusually heavy hazards which
growers have been undergoing
throughout the entire bloom period.
Two subfreezing nights two weeks
ago, a series of showers which have
kept the ground wet and invited
frost and delayed sprays due to
slow transition from the bloom
period have all contributed to the
growers troubles, it was reported.
In Maryland the State university's

damaged cantaloupe, cucumber, to-

Hawaii and Alaska?

asked concerns the future design
of the American flag should Alaska
or Hawaii be admitted into the
Union. Amin and Co. are all pre-
pared for such an exigency. IF we
add one state, we could have seven
rows of seven stars" says Beard.
"If we take two states, we could
have five rows Of ten stars"

Thanks to Amin & Co., yachts
men in all ports of the world can
hurdle language barriers via flags
that speak eloquently for them.
Years ago Amin designed a flag
which sports red cocktail glass.
Today, the hosting of this flag
signifies lonely skipper invit-
ing his nautical neighbors to
come aboard and share his
hospitality.
In a similar vein, at the behest
of Sam T. Shaw, a millionaire
yachtsman whose sleep was always
being interrupted by the "chug-
chug" of passing vessels, Amin
dreamed up the "slumber flag
This is a solid yellow banner with
a black and red circle which boat
men have learned to accept as an
aquatic do Not Disturb. " Today
the slumber coat-of-arms enables
thousands of boat owners to snooze
while they cruise.
A Hundred Years Ago
ANNIN's have been in busi-
ness since the early 1905 when
Alexander, the first flag-making
Amin, ran a ship-chandlery busi-
ness with his three sons, Edward.
Benjamin and John. Alexander
Amin looked on flags as merely
a pleasant nautical sideline. but
Edward was convinced that there
was money in them. In l847 he
opened up flag shop of his own
and was soon afterward joined by
brothers Benjamin and John.
Today, under the leadership of
Louis Amin Ames, the famous
flag firm has additional plants in
Verona, N. j., and Los Angeles,
Calf. To meet their annual
quota, more than 400 en-
ployees literally must have
stars in their eyes.
The workers include sewing
craftsmen known as "placers" -
they do nothing but see that the
stars and other elements of a flag
are placed in the right position.
After carefully marking out the
spots, they glue the stars to their
Acknowledgment position.
Then the needle workers pitch in
with the stitching and the stars
become permanently fixed.
Ever since we've had 48 states,
the arrangement of stars in straight
horizontal and vertical rows has
been mandatory. But it wasn't
always that way. Look closely at

 we should view the subject of labor and wages fairly, and try to arrive at that solution which is best for the laboring people of our state," he said.
 Certain fundamental rights of labor must be protected. The right of collective bargaining is one of these and l shall insist that these fundamental rights be safeguarded in all legislation"
 Bradford Sets Up Commission
 Likewise, in Massachusetts Re- publican Governor Robert F. Brad- ford, who had previously been lieutenant governor and held oth- CT offices in the state, told his leg islature that government regula- tion Is not the answer to labor problems.
 He called for further explora- tion" of how to achieve greater harmony between labor and man. agement and revealed he had ap- pointed a nine-man commission composed equally of labor, indus try and public representatives to study the question and report back by March 1, with recom- mendations.
 Bradford named Harold D.
 Ulrich, Railway Clerks general chairman on the Boston &
 Maine, as one of the labor rep-
 resentatives on the cOmmis-
 siOns.
 Bradford also cited the success of a labOr-management-public council set in Boston to help con- ciliate local labor disputes, "as evidence that the road to progress in this field lies through labor management understanding, rather than government intervention"
 Carlson Hit3 Anti-LabOr ClamOr
 Similarly, in Kansas, Governor Frank Carlson, who served for many years in Congress, declared his state should avoid the national clamor for restrictive labor legis- lation." The legislature should confine itself, he urged, to seeking ways ito promote cooperation and understanding between labor and management

 Our obligation is to do all in our power to promote harmonious relationships between employers and workers" Green stressed.
 Wallgren Opposed "VengefuP'

 Democratic governors, by and large, also took 8 liberal stand. In Washington, Governor Mons c. Wallgren, former member of both houses of Congress, cautioned the legislature that laws enacted in a vengefu1 spirit against our la boring men and women accom- plish no good, but serve only to prolong strife"
 In Rhode Island, Governor John O. Pastore referred to the states "enviable record of industrial peace and to the fact that practic- ally all labor management disputes in the state have been "ironed out at the conference table" We must continue to encourage and strengthen this spirit of coopera- tion," he said.
