In the Stock Market

(By Thompson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—1f our problem was one of business, there would be no room for argument. Everything in industry is going along so well that we are probably enjoying today a degree nearer to the theoretical 100% than we have had in many years. In Saturday morning's New York Times there was a column of summaries from various districts of the country that would make a bull out of the most confirmed pessimist. But when we get away from industry and look over our banking position, we see something entirely different-. When a man has a share of stock in a prosperous company paying 3% or 4% on the investment, and has to pay current rates for money, he has a real problem before him. So that we have the peculiar situation where a man has justification for being bullish and at the #ame time is compelled to keep his commitments down.

CIVIL SERVIGE PLAN OF SLACK MAYJACE FIRE Differs With Council Over System: Politicians Watch Closely. Politicians who have used the police and fire departments to reward faithful party workers today awaited with interest Mayor L. Ert Slack's program for civil service. Slack has delayed ten days in naming a committee to draft the civil service rules. The mayor agreed to appoint a group to draw the regulations at the last cabinet meeting, after council unanimously adopted a resolution demanding reestablishment of civil service for city departments. The mayor acquiesced to the proposal to establish a systematic method of selecting applicants for positions, but differs with the council on the promotion of officials. Council’s resolution' provided that the merit system govern the “promotion of those found fit,” but Slack is inclined to favor a “free hand” in demoting and promoting police, firemen, and other city employes. It is understood that Slack's proposal will differ considerably from the original civil service plan desired by council and may have some “loopholes” by which politicinas can profit. John F. White, councilman who drafted the resolution, said the council intended that the civil service eligibility list be used to select future employes, the first being selected from the top of the list. Slack desires to ignore the relative grade of applicants and choose from the entire list. The 1929 budget contains provisions for operating the department. Compliance with the charter law “is essential to an efficient and impartial administration of the public service,” the resolution cited. Slack personally approves all appointments, the majority of which are Democrats.
