NEW YORK, June 20.—The vigorous "“rise in the stock market list and the drop in the rediscount rate of the New York Federal Reserve Bank from 3 to 2!, per cent registered two favorable business signs yesterday. After a week of violent declines, the “market in a turnover of 3,750,000 shares saw prices rise from 5 to 12 points.

Mr. Jones said “this represents six times the amount that the average fam- ily pays for light and power and we must conclude that the American fam- 1ly can afford to use much more of our service than it now takes, if we can but - show the added benefits and the com- “=" forts which will come through wider 180 176 37 16% Mexican Seaboard. 33% 15 Miami Copper (4)... 77 53 Michigan Stl (m234) 224 Mid-Cont Petm (2).. ¢ Mr. Jones also told the convention “’“that 94 per cent of his domestic cus- tomers now own electric irons, 44 per cent own vacuum cleaners, 33 per cent own washing machines, and only 4.5 own electric ranges and 9.4 own domes- tic_electrical refrigerators. tion point in sight here. - Often it is said that a successful leader knows early in life just what he Js.,.wants to do.

In this column quite recently the question of whether any executive is worth $1,000,000 a year in salary to any ... corporation was discussed. Opinions differed, as was.to be expected. But ‘what about million-dollar fees? This week two fee contest cases have s appeared in the business world. Dis- . .'putes as to the value of the services Tendered have brought them into public , attention. William Van Alen, architect of the new $14.000,000 Chrysler building in New York, is demandmg for his services a 6 per cent fee ($865,000) on the total cost of this new 77-story skyscraper. ‘This charge—6 per cent—is that estab- lished by the American Institute of Architects, although many architects “charge as high as 10 per cent of the total cost. Mr. Chrysler, believing such a fee too large, offered $175.000—or a little over 1 per cent. But how much is such serv- ~Aces worth? Another case is that of Wayne John- H son, former solicitor of the United L _States Internal Revenue Department, ‘ who claims a fee of $5,000,000 for ob- * taining an income tax refund of $33,- - .. 000,000 for the United States Steel Cor- " poration. | Was it worth $5.000,000 to the United States Steel Co. to secure a refund on its income tax of $33.000,000 from the United States Government? This is the question. The late Judge Gary, then chairman, was to determine the fee of Mr. Johnson. But the judge's death held the matter up. | Today a million-dollar fee is not un- usual, and scores of them are con-| .., tracted and paid every year in the busi- | ) op ME8S world. i (Cooyrignt, 1930. by North American News- | ver Alance.) { INVESTMENT TRUSTS NEW YORK, June 20 (#).—Over the | counter market: Am 1Ins Stocks 63% 36 MonsantoCh (gii). 49% 34 Montgom Ward (3).. 16% 3% Moon Motor: . 72 53 Morrell & Co (4:40) No satura-| S5 11% 81 34 114 Mother Lode (20c).. 3% Motor Meter G & El.. 38% Motor Produects (3) y (b3 %stk) 49% 35% Myer(FE) & Bro(3). 58% 80% Nash Motors (6). 2% Omnibus Corp. 36 Oppenhm Collins (5) 99% 63 Orpheum Cir pf (8) 80% 55 Otis Elev. n(2%) 60% 46 Owens.ill Gia 19% 15 Pacific Coast 2d pf..
