Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, told the stockhold- ers at their annual meeting today he was in favor of “publicity, regu- lation and reasonable control” of busti- ness through government agencles, and a possible “solution of or anti- dote to the labor union problem.” Declaring he did not believe in so- cialism nor in governmental manage- ment or operation. he suggested that non-partisan, non-sectarian commis- sions or departments render decisions, subject to review by the highest! courts. Continuing his suggestion, he said: Well Defined Law Need ws—clear, well defined, practi- cable and e, of comprehension— covering thes matters, might be passed, and if so, they should apply to all economic organizations, groups or bodies exceeding certain specific numbers or amounts. Both organized capital and organized labor should be placed under these laws. Each should be entitled to the sam2 protec- tion and be subject to the same re- strictions and provisions. “Will labor unions consent to this? They have heretofore ohjected. Here would be a test. Labor union lead- < have before now asked and re- ceived discriminatory exemptions. This is wrong. and would be just as bad if the situation were reversed. Employers generally desire only the same treatment that is accorded to labor unions. The large majority of workmen also would be satisfied with this standard.” Deplores Unionism. Mr. Gary devoted a considcrable por- tion of his address to labor unions, and said “the natural and certain effects of abor unionism are expressed by three words: _Inefficiency, high costs.” “I would not intentionally do an in- justice to any union labor leades to a labor union,” he continued. 1_firmly believe complete unionization of the industry of this country would be the beginning of industrial decay.” “It seems to me.” he said, “that the natural, if not the necessary, result of the contemplated progress of labor unions, if successful, would be the con- trol of shops, then of the general man- agement of the business, then of capi- tal, and finally the government.” No Need for Unions. Admitting that unions “may have been justified in the long past.” because workmen were not treated justly, he de- clared there is now “no necessity’ for bor unions, “in the opinion of the large majority of both employers and employes. Turning to the subject of possible reduction of working hours for em- ployes of the steel corporation, Mr. sald. “The officers of this cor- poration. the presidents of subsidiary companies and a majori sit v of others in ositions of responsibility are in fa- vor of abolishing the twelve-hour day, and for this reason, and because of public sentiment. it is our endeavor and expectation to decrease the work- vISIT RO LINE - New York—Liverpoo Megantie Celtie apr. ay ay 14 Juse 1l July Cedrie . 9 N.

Concerning the corporations dealing with its employes, he said. “Adverse, even harsh criticism, have sometimes been made, but In this connection it is noticeable that these ocriticisms have generally originated with or been supported by ill-advised or vicious-minded outsiders and not by the workmen themselves.” He said the corporation had been “very successful” in cultivating the fecling of amity among the employes. He said the employes, on the aver- age “have received as high, if not the highest compensation, and ae gen- erous, if not the most generous, treai- ment accorded by any basic industry at any period in this or of any other country.” — Washington Stock Exchange Capital hv!iw—‘!:‘;‘l’é?'u, AFTER CALL.

BY L A. FLEMING. At the beginning of 1921 there were 191,574 people in the District of Co- lumbia in the thrift campaign: this number owned deposits in savings banks and in the savings division of the trust companies and of the na- tional banks. They had on deposit to their credit $44,506,136.51 out of a total deposit in all institutions on that date of $159,189,623.41. These figures are official, coming as they do from the federal reserve bank of Richmond. and they teil the story of local savings for the first time, as neither national banks nor trust companies separate the savings deposits from the checking accounts in their published statements, while some of the savings banks have com- mercial accounts which are probably segregated in this report. December 31, 1819, at the close of business, the savings ban s ington showed total deposits of $2: 62,080, while a year later they re- ported $23.498,221 on deposit It is probabie that the actual sav- ings deposits of Washington are about equally divided between the savings banks on one hand and the savings departments of national banks and the trust companies on the other. The official figures show that there were 28,176 more savings accounts with 1921 than at the opening of the year 1920. The figures are given as 163,398 savings accounts January 1. 1920, and 181,574 in 1921, with an in- crease of $4.100.673.53 in amount. That 191,574 people have joined the thrift campaign is a good augury for ‘Washington. Probably many of these accounts are owned jointly, which would give a larger percentage of the population interested in saving. Moreover, the last two months has added largely to the total. The total deposits of the banks of the District are given at $158,225 962.88 on January 1, 1920, and $159,- 189,623.41 on January 1, 1921. The fifth regional district, with Richmond as the scat of the regional bank, made wonderful progress in the matter of savings and in de- posits generally. In the entire fifth district 90 per cent of the banks reporting, 436,896 new savings ac- counts were opened during the year and the savings deposits of the dis- trict increased $65.611,745.05. _In the fifth regional district are included Maryland, District of Co- lumbia. Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Throughout the entire district the thrift campaign h: been very ef- fective, but in the first three named the increase in savings deposits far exceeded the increase in total depos- its. Thus in Maryland the total de- posits increased but $1,405,997.54. while the savings deposits increased $28,452,394.22; while in_the District the comparisons were: Total gain in deposits, $963,660.53; gain in savings, $4,100.673.55; * while' Virginia totals gained $6,144,1563.50 and the ings deposits $11,762.635.69. In the other states in the district the savings deposits furniched but a small part of the totals. The summary showed savings in the fifth district of $805,367,5640.48 ou® Qf a total of $2,083,545.390.26 de- posits. The gain in ali deposits for the year was $50.931,810, but the gain in savings deposits was $65,- 611,745.06. There are 2,324,427 person: with savings accounts in the fifth district. Expediting Business. In the interest of a broader mar- ket for its notes and bonds, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company will make no charges, for the present, in making changes of notes and bonds of one issue for those of another issue or different denominations, nor for exchanging coupon for registered bonds, or vice versa. Farm Loan Syndicate Managers. The managers of the group formed at the request of the Farm Loan Board for the offering of $40.000,000 5 per cent twenty-year federal land bank bonds at par, announced by Sec- retary Mellon today, are Alexander Brown & Son, Lee Higgenson & Co., the National City Company, Brown Brothers & Co., Harris, Forbes & Co. :_miklhe Guaranty Company of New ork. The entire group of selling agents will include about 1,000 investment bankers all over the country. They are offered in every city of the coun- try today. The Supreme Court has recently held that the banks are legally a part of the banking system of the United States and that they are exempt from federal, state and municipal taxation. The price is par and accrued interest and they cannot be called until after :leven years. No Tax Money. Secretary Mellon has taken a stand against redepositing any of the $8,000,000 tax money that will be tak- en from the banks for taxes in the Isistrict during May, back in the banks pending the need of the gov- ernment. ‘This is the custom In every state in the Union. and has been here up to one year ago. W. T. Galliher. appointed by the Clearing House As=ociation to wait on the Becretary of the Treasuty, could not prevail on him to change the rul- inxg of his predecessor in this matter. Wall Street Notes. _ Plerce-Arrow Motor Car Company is operating at full capacity in its passenger car department, shippin 300 cars a mfinh,p ey Cities Service has issued its 1920 annual report, showing 345 a share carned on common stock, as com- pared with $39.09 in 1919, Steel Corporation is said to be oper- ating at 40 per cent of capacity. Standard Oil of California produced .073.429 barrels of crude oil in 1920, or about 28 per cent of the entire production of the state, The Louisville and Nashville has been certified for $4,750,000 by the Interstate Commerce Commiasion to the Treasury. The Atlantic -Coast Line draws $300,000. Electric Storage Battery of Phila- delphia earned $40 a share on its capital stock last year, paid federal taxes of $1,500.000 and wrote off $2.- 013,550 for depreciation of inventory. e National Biscult Company has no funded debt and owes nothing to banks.

CHICAGO, April 1 arnings of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Rallway Company were larger in 1920 than in any year since 1916. when there was a surplus of $1,627.754 after all charges, according to the annual report.” In the year ended December 31, 1920, after deduc- tions, the balance of profit amounting to $871,683 oompared with deficits of more than a million dollars in the two years preeldln‘.

FEDERAL LAND 55 ARE SELLING WELL NEW YORK, April 18—The $40,000, 000 Federal Land Bank 5 per cent bonds offered to the public at par and accrued interest were reported to be going well today. These bonds rank next to Libertys in point of security. The collateral back of them consiats of an equal amount of U. S. government bonds and first mort- gages on farm lands not exceeding 50 per cent of the value of the land and 20 per cent of the value of per- manent improvements. Another new syndicate operation started today was the offering of $4,000.000 Mafland Oll Company ten- year 8 per cent sinking fund gold bonds. This is a part of an author- ised issue of $7,000,000. The Marland Oil owns nearly all the capital stock of the Marland Refining Company and the Kny County Gas Company, both Oklahoma cORCeTns, and through the ay Counly Company a large ma- ;:x:vly also of the capilal stock of the Mariand Oil Company of Mexico. Mexican Bonds Wanted. The general bond market had a duil aay of it, but there were one or two features of note. Among these espe- cially were the Mexican government bonds, which were very active, with the 5 up over a point to 49% and the 45 up nearly a point to 37%." Both these represent a new high record. Later in the day there was a partial ction. T rhe talk that Mexico is about to re- sume interest payments on its exter- nal debt is thought to be rather prem- ature, but_as _a result of the confer- ences on the Mexican situation, which are to start at Washington this week, it is considered probable that resump- tion of such payments will be dis- cussed and light thrown upon the date at which it may be expected. This is the motive back of the five- point advance in the Mexican govern- ments since the middle of last week. Barlington 4s Open Higher. Nothing further was said about the Buriington refunding plan and when it was likely to be brought out. The Burlington joint 4s reached a new high at 99% cash, later on receding 98% . mnfl’l‘w-y issues were pretty gener- ally inclined to reverse their ten- dency in the early part of last week, before the labor board handed down its decision.

CHICAGO, April 18.—Fear that dam- age to the new crop had been done by low temperatures led to upturns to- day in wheat prices. Buying, how- ever, lacked volume, and with warmer weather in prospect an increase of selling pressure soon took place. Sellers contended that crop damage would prove to be of only a minor sort. Opening prices, which ranged from 1 to 2 cents higher, with May 1.29 to 1.30 and July 1.08% to 1.10, were followed by a material setback and then something of a raily. Corn hardened with wheat, but later was inclined to sag. After openin, % to % higher, including July at 6. to 624, the market reacted to slightly below Saturday's finish. Qe paralleled the action of cotn. starting unchanged to % higher, July 38% to 39%. and later easing down. Higher quotations on hogs gave some firmness to provisions. ! WHBAT— Open. High. Low. Cloe.
