Nonferrous Metals Climb
As Supply Pinch 1iqhtens
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Pressures
from several sources tightened the
squeeze on non-ferrous metals con-
sumerS this week.
Prices climbed again for zinc,
cadmium and quicksilver. And there
were indications that hike in cop
per prices soon would surprise prac-
t!cally nobody.
The East Coast dock strike
stalled much-needed imports Of
several metals. The walkout at Ken
necott's big Utah mine continued
to curtail domestic copper produc-
ton by more than $4,000 tons a
month. And three plants of the
American Zinc, Lead & Smelling
Co. remained closed down by labor
trouble.
In addition, stockpiling demands
still loomed heavy in the supply
situation. Consumers generally
agreed with copper, zinc and lead
producers that unless the Govern
ment receives adequate metal ton
nages for the stockpile under the
present voluntary open market pol
icy, a stern program of ALLEGATIONS
might be imposed.

New Wage Increases
Threaten Bankruptcy
For Smaller Firms
By J. B. WoIIoch
North Amsrisan Newspaper Alliance

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-Fourth-
round wage increases, which some
union leaders are taking for
granted, may sound the death knells
Of many smaller firms and un-
doubtedly will price many consumer
goods out of their already contract
ing markets.
In industries which have been
stubborn price resist
ance-and their number is increas-
ing-smaller producers and dis
tributors even now are looking for
exit signs, and price rises almost
certainly will start a rush.
Large scale producers, except
those subject to Government-regu-
lated rates and fares, may be able
to absorb higher labor costs by
passing them on in the form of
price boosts, but ultimately they,
too, will reach an impasse.
Marginal producers will need lit
tie further encouragement to give
up their ghosts. Flagging volume
has brought not few below break
even points, and inflated operating
and inventory costs have stretched
their working capital to the bust"
point.
Despite the evident fact that
some temporarily favored industries,
by reason of their profit margins,
unquestionably will accept wage in
creases as inevitable, others with
dwindling net margins will be con-
fronted by life-or-death wage de-
cisions.
Invariably, wage-increase rounds
begin at industry's top and most
aff1uent level. Rises wrung from
industry leaders then are used as
norms for producers whose resources
and volume are not even compar-
able. In consequence, more and
more OF the latter find themselves
unable to cope with lower-cost pro-
ducers.

The men who get ahead between
now and 1852 will be those who know
how to adapt themselves to changing
conditions.
Some of the changes during the
next four years will come from Wash
ington, some from industry, and
some from changing conditions
abroad. 1t will be necessary for you
to keep in close touch with these
changes and, if possible, to have ad-
vance warnings of important new
developments.
New Ways to Make Money
For example, new inventions, new
industries, and new ways of doing
business will create new opportuni-
ties for men who want to increase
their incomes. One way to find out
about these things is to read Business
Bulletin, which appears every Thurs
day in The Wall Street Journal.
You should also keep informed on
international conditions and on
trends in the British Empire (which
often foreshadow trends in the
United States. A good way to do
this is to read London Gable, which
appears every Monday in The Wall
Street Journal.
News frsM Washington
The news coming from Washing
ton will have an important bearing
on your future. If you want to know
what is going on behind the scenes in
Government, you should read Wash
ington Wire, which appears every
Friday in The Wall Street Journal.

bestows only the joy!
If we suffer it. is the outcome
of material things, and all the
trials and troubles comes from
this world Of Illusion.
For instance, merchant may
lose his trade and depression en-
sues. A workman is dismissed and
starvation stares him in the face.
A farmer has bad harvest an
xiety fills his mind. A man builds
house, which is burnt to the
ground and he is straightway
homeless, ruined, and in dispair.
All these examples are to show
you that the trials which beset our
every step, all our sorrows, pain,
shame and grief, are born of the
world of matter; whereas the
Spiritual Kingdom never ceases
sadness. A man living with his
thoughts in this kingdom knows
perpetual joy. The ills all flesh is
heir to do not pass him by, but
they only touch the surface of his
life, the depths are calm and Sc
rene.

In this world we are influenced

Joy gives us wings! In time of
joy our strength is more vital,
our intellect keener, and our I'M
derstanding less clouded. We seem
better able to cope with the world
and to find our sphere Of useful
ness. But when sadness visits us
we become weak, our strength
leaves us, our comprehension is
dim and our intelligence yelled.
The actualities of life seems to e.
