Brisk Buying Lifts

More Than Point
By Roder Wineet
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-A brisk
buying rally in the stock market
today put prices up by fractions
to more than a point.
Enthusiasm was based on Wall
Streets favorable Interpretation
of progress toward settlement of
labor management difficulties in
the steel industry and on the
long range benefits arising from
Washington plans for untangling
the snarl of international trade.
Buying attention was focused
on the steel group, but oils, mo-
tors, rails and chemicals also par
ticipated in the rise.
The advance in railroad shares
was noted particularly because
they have been somewhat back
ward in recent weeks.
The market started off fast and
kept up the pace. Trading at
times hit the highest rate in sew
eral months.
Gold shares were alone in post
ing small losses. That was evil
de1ce of disappointment over the

THE MINIMUM WAGE

The new Federal wage and hour bill
will soon come up for consideration by
Congress. The influence it might have on
the economy of the country, if it passes,
should be given much more consideration
by the public than it has so far received.
First of all, the bill would raise the
minimum wage to rs cents an hour, almost
double the present level. Partisans of the
measure say that further hike to 81 90 is
planned. The wage-along with overtime
after 40 hours in a week-would be re-
quired of every employe engaged in inter-
state commerce in any way.
1t might seem that the interstate COM
merce provision would confine the law to
limited number of enterprises, most of
dictate that the judges are taking a very
broad view of what interstate commerce in
wolves For Instance in the case of retail
stores, il is quite possible that operators
who make Out-of-state purchases would
be considered engaged in interstate COM
merce, and subject to the law.
theoretically, the pending law is de-
signed to help and protect unskilled and
marginal workers. Yet there is grave
doubt if it would work out that way Many
who have studied it believe that it might
actually reduce employment. A concern,
for instance, might find it impossible to
keep on employing inefficient workers if
it had to pay them IS cents an hour
whereas it can profitably employ them at
lower wage, and so give them an oppor-
tunity to improve their skills and qualify
for better jobs.
Lastly, it seems certain that a big
percentage increase in the minimum wage
would start the wage-price initiation spiral
going again. The least productive worker
would then get a rate of pay very close to
that of many skilled wOrkers-and the
latter would naturally demand boost for
themselves. What this could do to the cost
of living for all workers needs no elabora-
ton in the light of experience.

WHY BUY IN KEY wEsTs

II IL true that the standard Of living
In a given community depends upon the
volume Of business done, but it also de-
pends on the distribution of the income
In the community.
There are other factors involved, but
we started out to call attention to the
current Christmas shopping and to urge
that buyers try the stores in Key West be-
fore going elsewhere to buy their Christ
mas gifts.
Increased business for local merchants
means increased income for the COM
munity. This means that local buyers, who
trade AZ home, will have part in improv-
ing the standard of living for local families.
You may not be interested in the eco
nomic welfare of some of your fellow
citizens until you realize that, as they
prosper. YOU may expect to prosper. The
welfare Of local merchants affects other
people. including employees, and every
one who expects to sell them anything,
either in the way of service or goods
We do not urge local buyers to trade
at home at exorbitant prives. Merchants
in Key West who expect your business, ex-
pect 10 meet competition, in price and
quality. They must if they expect to stay
in business.
Give them the opportunity to serve
your needs and. if they cannot do so, that
il their fault, not yours.

CIT WON'T HAPPEN TO ME"

In reading about accidents that kill
other people, we are apt to dismiss the
matter with careless, ut won't happen
TO me-
Maybe not, but just the same, it might
be a good idea to remember that the vic
tim of the fatal accident was just as con-
fident before the accident and as irrevoc-
ably dead afterward.
Not so long ago, a young woman, u.s.
ing a health lamp, took a sun bath in her
bathtub Somehow, there was a contact
and she was shocked. Later she was found
dead
This illustrates the danger of using
electrical appliances in and around the
bathtub There is danger that the cord will
become wet. thus charging the water or
that the individual touching the cord will
receive a serious shock.
The moral is to be extremely careful
how you handle the cord that comes with
your electrical appliances. Be on guard
when water is around. Do not handle
electrical plugs, etc, with wet hands or
while standing on wet floors or wet ground.
Watch yourself and you may live longer!
