To Reinstate Operator Said to Be
Cause-Seventy Are Out, Only

Los Angeles, Aug. THE strike

discharged operator. About seventy
operators struck. only five remaining
at work. According to an unofficial
statement by the striking employees,
there is absolutely no prospect of the
men resuming work before tomorrow.
and even their return is said to be

New York, Aug THE squal
which broke over the stock market to

ket movement to advance prices
which was embarked upon under the
nambouyant auspices late in June.
Market commitments now holding
| over from that period besides EN-
| barrassment of money and capital agi-
tation then perfectly well foreseen
have been overtaken by the bad effect
on sentiment Of the renewed out
break of hostility against corpora
lions.
The market was disposed to view
enormous fines levied upon the Stand
ard Oil company last Saturday. Every
day since then, however, the news
has consumed large space with an
nouncement Of new measures or
plans in pursuit of railroads or other
corporations
The iteration has got on the nerves
of Wall street and the disposition to
sell has increased and the decline in
prices mas gained cumulative velocity
the outcome being a spasm of liquida-
ton today.
Union Pacific and Reading We're
notably affected by the weakness OF
the market. The Copper group also
was violently depressed The subject
most talked of was the probable fur
ther course to be taken by the agita-
tion against corporations and meas
ures likely to be next promulgated
against them.
Stocks of companies supposed to be
vulnerable to such proceedings as re-
suited in the great fine against Stand
ard Oil were conspicuously weak. In

feresr than the railroads.

stocks, including General
Electric sold at low prices for the
In railroads this was true only
in the Southern group, although other
prominent stocks approached the
level OF the March panic.
Reports of a conference of the dis
triet attorneys of the Mississippi val
leys to concert further measure
against corporations. the Alabama in
dietments against the Southern rail
way company and reports of confer
ence also amongst corporation adj
visers to devise protective measures
fed apprehension on the subject.
The late rise in call money to six |
per cent reflected increasing pressure |
on resources there and time loans |
we're strong and demand active. Last |
prices represented rallies on short |
covering of one to three months, and
the fact that such net declines re-
