New York, Nov. S.-Having dis
counted number of distasteful things
last week-peace in Europe, cancella-
tion of war orders and the cutting
down of profits in munitions-the
market turned about today, and until
the closing hour of business, discounted
q number of things that were to its
liking
Through the general list, stocks were
bought in sufficient numbers to cause
an advance of a point or more, but con-
fident as was the buying for n time, it
was not substantial enough TO last
through the day.
Consequently, after strong upward
movement in the forenoon and during
the middle of the day, the list became
irregular in the late trading, q number
of stocks dropping their highest marks
and the market closing weak.

iyiolatin gthe International stand OF
the Socialist party, as the object OF
THAT organization was to organize and
not disrupt.
1 Walter Hilton.
| walter B. Hilton then introduced
the local reason that was responsible
for the dissension that was disrupttng
the organization, and by his argument
showed that the same reasons were
Irresponsible elsewhere. The very rapid
manner that the mills in the iron in
Idustry was reorganized and the broad
ened scope of their activities. making
lit almost impossible for the organiza-
stion to keep pace with the mills and
handle the situation, as was done in
previous years. An organization that
has now only a few of the past~mem-
Ibership must sacrifice much to once
again get control of the iron industry.
Secretary Tighe.
Mike Tighe, secretary of the Anal
gamated Association, stated that mem
Ibers were themselves responsible for
the conditions they were laboring un
ider, and went into the early history
|of the organization to prove his argu-
ments. Taking the Homestead strike,
he showed that the members forced
the officers into this strike and at a
convention they agreed to finance the
strike by being assessed each week a.
days wages. This went alright the
first week, and all members paid the
the second week many of
them refused, and the third week the
assessment was not paid, with the re-
suit that officers who were forced to
declare strike were left in a help
less condition with a strike on their
hands with no funds. All though his
talk he was plain in showing the value
OF high dues and the prompt payment
of te assessments If they expect to
get results. The Amalgamated Asso-
citation while hampered by the new
movement, will finish the scale. year
at the Whitaker-G lessner Company
He was SO incensed at the members
who refused to pay their dues that he
refused to answer any questions put to
him by members of the new movement
that had such habit.
Better Understanding.
The meeting ended with better IN
derstanding and while the members of
the Amalgamated Association were en-
dorsed by the Labor movement, many
say it is the duty of the Amalgamated
Association to overcome the sentiment |
that found expression in the dual
movement by organizing the non-union |
mills and giving the dissatisfied mem
bers that which they want "a better
