Bond Market Steady;
Hand Picked Group
|0f Rails Higher
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. ga hand
picked group OF railroad issues
!rolled ahead in steady bond market
today.
Favored carriers moved up frac-
tions to an extreme of about 2
points in sleepy dealings. Demand
centered on issues in the lower and
medium price ranges.
Railroad issues on the average
ended the week only trifle below
the preceding week. The decline,
though, put the group that much
closer to a new l947-48 low. The
Associated Press average of 20 rails
closed at 1873. The low is 87.1 and
the 1947-48 high 97.1.
The new money market coasted
through q period Of calm preceding
a storm.
Big Bonus Issue Due.
Next week New York State will
receive bids-probably one bid-on
its proposed $500, 900 900 war bonus
bond issue. The bonds will mature
$50, ,00o, 900 annually 1949 to 1858 in
elusive.
The size of the issue places it
among the small group of such giant
deals which have developed since
the war. Some underwriters sug-
gested the figure is regarded as a
practical top for one sale of this
type of security. The State of Illi-
nois, it was recalled, marketed a
$500, ,000,0 bonus bond issue last
year although the State had been
authorized to sell $685., 900, 900.
New York State, similarly, has
been authorized to market a total
of $400, 1000, ,000.o The State already
has borrowed 500, 0,000, 900 to get
start on bonus payments, but the
borrowing was in the form Of one
year notes, redeemable within 8
1t has been suggested that
the notes will be funded.
One Syndicate Expected.
Two underwriting groups were
formed to bid for the is
sue, one headed by National City
Bank and the other by Chase Ma
tional Bank. According to reports
from the financial district, these
groups have reformed into one In
elusive syndicate.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.--As tht

wage costs of industry are being
f1oodlighted.
Up to now. comparison lof prevail

ted an important detail, compare

dustries than others, but practically
all have had to absorb it in some
measure as new element of cost

ber of bricks laid per hour as vel
as wages paid. Higher hide costs
were a factor in spiraling shot
prices, but so were limitations
placed on the number of shoes q
worker could turn out in any work
week. Stevedore wages cannot be
compared in dollars and cents only
When stopwatches were used to
make certain that freight handlers
didn't overexert themselves, real
wage costs scared.
Featherbedding Cited.
Featherbedding has received more
attention, possibly because 1t is more
blatant. When a theater owner in
Hff tford is forced to hire eight extra
m .sicians to stand by and collect
pay for being idle, public disap-
proval is expressed, although In
effectually.
In such instances, employe extor-
ton Is recognizable. But when a
union foreman rules that the work
ers in his shop can produce three
articles q day instead of five of
which they are capable Of turning
out, consumer costs rise In direct
ratio.
We received q letter from a work
er in Omaha who complained that
in recent column, wage increases
were related to higher living costs
Yet in testimony before q Senate
committee more than a year ago
facts were presented to show how a
gang of longshoremen handling
sugar was ordered by its union to
handle as few as 1000 sacks per
hour instead of the 1000 sacks it
handled at one time. During the
war, when manpower was at pre-
MUM, handling dropped as low as
$50 sacks per hour due to union re-
strictions)
Hartley Assailed Bitterly.
Representative Hartley was as
sailed bitterly by labor for having
the audacity to suggest, Ito get more
for the dollars you spend, you
must give more for the dollars you
earn"
Labor's resentment is understand
able. Ever since 1t was privileged
by the Wagner Act it has tried to
get more and more for less and less.
It would be unfair and inaccurate
to categorize labor as a whole in this
manner. The exceptions, however,
have been all too few.
In industry after industry today,
record hourly wages are being paid
plus time and a half for work over
10 hours. Wage scales, however,
do not begin to give a true picture
Of actual labor costs. Adjustment
must be made for the difference in
output per manhour. The latest
threat to Industrial solvency. "over-5
time on, overtime" serves to demon
strate anew that labor has no COM
junction about adding to infiation-
ary, pressures so long as it can exact

Marshall Says We Must Work With
 Russia For Peace

WASHINGTON, - (P) - Sec. retary of State Marshall said to- day Russian leaders must be con- vinced the Soviet Union can live side by side in peace" with the western powers in the United Ma tionS.
 He made that argument in op- posing any drastic shakeup of the LIN. without Russian agreement. Such a step, Marshall said, prob ably would destroy the organiz- ation and mean setting up rival military alliances.
 Marshall appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Commit tee which is considering propos- als for reorganizing the U. N. with or without Russian coopera- ton.
 He said that what the world needs today is not new structures for peace but better use of the organizations which already ex- iSt.
 His testimony amounted to plea to Congress not to express it's impatience with the present LIN. and its objections to Rus sian conduct. Lawmakers have especially about Rus sia's frequent use of the big pow CT veto.
 The committee also planned to call Warren Austin, US. delegate to the U.N.. for his views on re- the peace league.
 In advance of the hearing, Rep. Mansfield D-MonD said the Latin will go along on any move to curb the big power veto in the JUN. Mansfield attended the Inter-American conference at Bogota as an observer for the House committee
