Sloan, Jr., president, General Motor's Corporation, announces that General Motors is now making a distribution to 15,177 of its employees through the Corporation' 's Savings and Investment Fund Class of 1924 which matured at fue end of 1929. The amount so dis- ributed represents a total of $8,608,- 000 and consists of $2,768,245 in cash and 145994 shares of General Mot- ors common stock. Six classes of the Savings and Investment Fund have matured up to date and the number of employees sharing in the present distribution is the largest. Becomes $1,415 'Aiiy employee who, during the year { 1924, paid into the Fund a total of |2 now receives a total of $1,415 resulting from this original invest- ment, Of this total, $415 is paid .in cash, representing the original sub- scription or saving plus 6 per cent. interest and the balance of $1000 rep- resents the value of 25 shares of General Motors common stock, assum ing the current market value of $40 per share. The Savings and Investment Plan was started eleven years ago for the purpose of encouraging and educat- ing General Motors employees in the saving and investment of money. It affords them an opportunity of be- coming stockholders and thereby sharing in the development of the businesss. The opportunity is open to all employees of the Corporation in- cluding its subsidiary operations. Eli- gibles are permitted to pay into each class 20 per cent. of their an- nual earnings, not to exceed $300. General Motors, on the inauguration of each class, puts into a separate fund 50c for each dollar contributed by the cmployee. The latter is in- vested in General Motors common stock, the income from which is re- invested as it accumulates. Paying for Homes A new class is started every year, therefore it is possible for any em- ployee to have a total in the fund of $1500, At the present time 165,000 General Motors employees, or over 90 per cent. of tho se eligible, are participating. It is gratifying to state that over 25,000 individuals are help- ing to pay for their homes through the operation of this plan, General Motors believes that in ad- dition to an employee receiving what might be ternied the market value of his services he should have an oppor- tunity to participate, according to his opportunity to contribute, in the success of the institution. In addition to the Savings and Investment Plan other plants include the promotion of the building of homes; opportunity to invest in the Corporation's senior securities on a preferential basis; Group Insurance; Bonus Plan for Junior executives and Managers Se- curities Plan for Senior executives. The opportunity offered the General Motors organization of sharing in the results of their own endeavors is bound to afford the strongest possible tive for incr € y and effectiveness and thereby promoting a still greater future for the Corpor- ation by establishing its extensive ac- tivities on a firmer foundation for (Continued on Page 2) | remanded one week MANY EMPLOYEES OF G.M.

The newly created international council bore the mandate of the naval conference conferred upon 'it at a Plenary session yesterday, Great ritaing the United States, Japan, France and Italy, agreed unanimously to make a studious examination of a technical. question which has plagued every discussion of naval limitation for nearly a decade.

Unparalleled (Special to The Times) Regina, Sask., Jan, 30.--The Regina Daily Star carried today a front page editorial which read in part: Immediate Action Needed The amazing action of the Ontario Government in seizing the securities, books, cash and bank accounts in the head 'offices at Toronto of a num- ber of companies doing business all over Canada is without parallel in the financial history of the dominion, Steps must be at once instituted to release this most unwarranted seiz- ure of funds and securities belonging to the people of eight other prov- inces and avert the grave risk that many of these institutions with their funds and securities impounded will be forced into liquidation. Otherwise innocent investors all the way from Hailfax to Victoria will suffer un- necessary loss, The various provincial governments on behalf of their provincials should send in prompt protests against the mischievous action of the Ontario Government in thus seizing the se- curities and funds belonging to people in other provinces and in recklessly jeopardizing the solvency of these companies, Individual investors should wire: immediate protest to attorney general Price at Toronto. Unless prompt and effective action is taken these com- panies may be forced into unneces- sary liquidation. The panic action of the Ontario Government unless with- drawn may result in losses to people all over Canada. Their injuries will be on the head of the Ontario Gov- ernment, Wage Inquiry Is a Failure No Agreement Reached in British Textile Work- ers' Dispute (By Th T. Ch i Cana~ dian Press Staff Correspondent) London, Jan. 31.--~The inquiry into the wage dispute in the wool- len and textile industry which open- ed last Monday closed in a manner disappointing though hardly ex- pected. Right Hon. Hugh P. Mac- Millan, distinguished Scots lawyer appointed to conduct the inquiry alone, conferred towards the end with the parties separately, with a view to securing a settlement hy consent and thus avoiding further delay. The effort proved abortive, whereupon Mr. MacMillan announe~ ed he would present his report tn Right Hon. Margaret Bondfield, Minister of Labar, The dispute investigated by Rt. Hon. Hugh P. MacMillan was not of recent origin. The workers de- manded a five per cent increase in November, - 1925, the employers countering with a demand for a 10 per cent. reduction in wages, After this demand was modified, the Min- istry of Labor's court recommend- ed maintenance of a status quo re- garding wages until January, 1927. The employers terminated the wages agreement later, and since November, 1927, the industry has been working without a definite agreement.
