STOCK MARKET
KEEPS BALANCE
IN QUIET DA!
NEW YORK, June 21 (VP)
The stock market maintained its
balance fairly well today despite
the lack of strong buying incen
tives in any department
Spotty recoveries appeared in
the first hour and, at the close,
while minus signs were plentiful,
fractional advances were
sprinkled over most sections.
Dealings were negligible
throughout, with transfers of
around 100,000 shares one of
the lowest turnovers in nearly
a year.
Few customers showed up in
boardrooms, the majority fol
lowing the recently inaugurated
custom of observing Saturday as
a holiday.

THE
T
CENT PER BUSHEL
CHICAGO. June 21 VP)
Wheat prices moved up about 1
cent a bushel after early softness
on the Chicago board of trade
today. Strength in soybeans and
other commodities was mainly
responsible for the advance, trad
ers said.
Buying developed after pro
fessionals noted an absence of
any heavy heding sales at the
opening. Most of the wheat now
being harvested, according to
renorts received here, is going
into storage either for govern
ment loans or to be held for
higher prices.
Wheat closed Ic to lie higher
than yesterday, July S1.0H-1,
September $1,031-1.03. Corn
closed 1c to lc higher, July 731c.
September 761-lc.

PORTLAND, Ore., June 20
(AP) A spokesman for the
Montgomery Ward Ic Co. store
said Friday the management
unc renrfv to onen the store as
soon as pickets were withdrawn
and mercnanaise was op
livcered.
Wards' Portland store was
blamed by a National Labor
Relations Doara examiner,
George Bokat, yestcrda; for a
.riko th-r A decision received
yesterday by Wards and by the
striking AtL, w arenousemcu
and Retail Clerks unions from
the Seattle NLRB office held
that the store had failed to bar
gain collectively.
Th. store was ordered to
offer reinstatement without pre
judice to all employes, ine ex
aminer also directed the store
n ha run in with the unions in
good faith on issues in contro
versy. The management ex
pressed willingness to resume
negotiations after opening the
store.
Unions struck December 7
for higher wages, union shop
ami nthrr concessions. The store
nnomtorl hehtnd nickel lines
until May 3 wnen ciosea ue
cause of inability to get de
livery of merchandise.
The Ward officers said the
would reinstate all
omnlnvpt but asserted that the
decision did not grant back pay
to any workers. The unions in
terpreted the decision as grant
ing back pay to a small cate
gory of strikers.
James Landye, attorney for
hn unions, said the order
1 thwarted an attemDt by non-
j striking employes to bring
! about a reopening on tne pasis
of an agreement wun a new
storewide organization rather
than with the designated bar
gaining agencies. However Mrs.
Dyon Soule, chairman of em
ninvpa Mpkinff to reoDen the
store, said the effort would con
tinue regardless of tne decision.
The decision held that Wards
"went through the motions of
collective bargaining without
the spirit and sincerity required
by the (National Labor Rela
tions) act" and "entered nego
tiations with a preconceived
and inflexible determination not
to explore fairly and fully the
possibilities of reaching an
agreement.

WASHINGTON, June 21 (AP)
Government action probubly

Wednesday.
Concern over shipping diffi
culties, uncertainties in tho !nr

domestic consumption have
prompted a decision to require

ber, but officials at llio offleo of
production management asserted
that there Is no present shortBKo
Severe curtailment of the
manufacture of tires or other
rubber products Is unlikely, they
asserted.
Since there Is no Immediate
difficulty in filling defenso needs
n In thA race nf nHiminum. zinc
and other materials, officials
said that the conservation order
would take some form different
from that of previous priority
regulations which placed defense
uses ahead of civilian require
ments.

would require importers to set
aside a certain percentage of

Another would require manufac
turers to cut deliveries to deal

any case, tho rubber conserved
would be kept In a pool to be
allocated by tho government lor
defense uses in an emergency.
Mnr thnn HO. npr cent of the
crude rubber used in the United
States comes from British Mat

approximately 600.000 tons In

Tire manufacturing consumes
