RESERVE FUNDS
FORJNDJSTRY
New York, Jan. 21 IJP) The Am
erican society of civil engineers has
accepted for study a plan to protect
not only labor, but also inanage
meat and stocknolders, during de
precations by the legal establish
ment of a compulsory reserve fund
in each business.
While the plan has not been given
either official approval or disap
proval by the society. It has been
deemed worthy of further consider'
at ton by the society's direction com
mittee and by the engineering ec
onomic committee which presented
the plan, also without approval or
disapproval. Several Individual
members praked it in principle.
Ralph Budd, president of the Bur
lington railroad, is chairman of the
engineering economic committee,
and Frederick H. McDonald, con
sulting engineer of Atlanta, Oa., is
secretary. Mr. McDonald drafted
and wrote the plan.
The plan proposes a lorm oz
business insurance whereby each
state would require every corpora
tion to put aside In a reserve fund
earnings in excess of a percentage
prescribed by the state up to a to
tal sufficient to pay labor, white
collar workers and dividends for
one year.
Mr. McDonald exphosizes that the
plan is subject to change and that
considerable research is required.

law shall be written into all public
mulcting contracts, along with
clause permitting cancellation of
the contracts if the prevailing wage
is not paid.
Existing contracts do not include
the cancellation stipulation or the
prohibition of rebates, as will the
new agreements.
Secretary Doak analysed the new
executive order for the house labor

forms of government work given to
contractors, such as that on river
levees and flood control projects.
"1 will introduce a separate bill
to do. that," he said after bearing
Doak.
