Industrial War Stocks
Influenced By Gary

Copyright 1915 by the New York Ev
ening Post)
New York, Jan. G.-From the view
point of Wall street, the renewed break
in industrial issues today--especially in
war stocks-was attributed to the pub
lished Gary interview concerning the
financial and industrial future. His
judgment, however, does not appear to
differ greatly from the consensus Of ex,
pert forecasts, already published at the
year-end. Virtually all Of these warn.
ed against the possibility Of OVERRIDING
trade expansion insofar as II is based
on war material.
The break was helped, too, by the
fact one war company announced 20
per cent dividend. whereas more had
been prophecied. Even steel shares
yielded sharply despite conditions of
the trade and announcement Of q wage
increase.
The extraordinary contrasting move.
ment in English and German exchange
continued. Sterling reached $4.7G 1.2,
more than a cent above yesterday s
and the highest since July. This was
ascribed TO large sales Of American
securities by London. But since there
has been equally heavy selling before
without such results, IL is reasonable
to suppose that the proceeds Of the
recent $5O0,000,O00 loan and the skill.
ful employment Of the special bankers ,
credit is at last having It's anticipated
influence.

Copenhagen, Jan. 6.-Sweden does

She may not insist on an out and
out German victory but she feels that
for her own safety, she cannot allow
the Russians to beat Germany. Sweden
is not particularly pro.German, and yet
she is now pro.ally, but she is anti-kus-

fight with Germany before she will see
Russia win, and sac believes her
strength would be the deciding factor
in the last resort.
This outline constitutes the ouistand.

| DEAL HEAVY BLOW
TO THE ARMY BILL
Resolution Of Protest Against
COnscriptiOn Is Again
Presented
BRITISH CABINET PLAN
is SOUNDLY SCORED
Newspapers Of London Con-
slider the Internal Crisis
Especially Grave

London, Jan. 6.--Labor leaders dealt
today heavy blow against conscrip-
tion. The executive committee of the
national labor congress presented to
that body in the name of 3,O0O,O0O
trades unionists resolution in protest
against the governments 3 compulsory
service plans.
Cries of approval greeted the commit
tee document which expressed regret
that the nations solidarity had been
gravely imperiled and industrial and
political liberty menaced by the atti-
tude of the conscriptionists."
Nine hundred delegates, representing
400 organizations, including the most
powerful of England's labor bodies,
were present. A majority Of them were
outspoken against any form of con-
scription. One group even demanded
that Arthur Henderson, labor member
of the cabinet, resign.
Harry Gosling, president, and num-
ber of labor members Of parliament
were present.
Preceding introduction OF the resoIu-
tion, the executive committee reported
"labor's deep-rootcd, traditional and
incorporating hostility to eonscrip-
ton"
"This hostility cannot be outraged
with impunity," said the committee
chairman amid wild applause, "and
especmially since the wage earDers have
volunteered with such splendid chiv-
airy.
The eyes of the nation is eentered
on the congress. 1t is expected that
the delegates will pass the resolution,
though tn government hopes that strong
leaders will oppose it and win many
over to their way of thinking.
That the congress will condemn
cOnscription was indicated by a test
vote on motion to support modified
conscription plan which would draft.

under the Derby pan. The motion
covered the same persons as the AS
quith bill, except for the wid0wers.
This was defeated by 2,l2l 900 to 54i,-
600 according to ballots representing
those numbers of workers and east by
tho latter's delegates.
The News today viewed the conscrip-
tion situation with pessimism, predict
ing not only that labor member Hender-
son will quit the cabinet but likewise
that the issue will force a grave domes-
tic crisis leading to general election
within few weeks and resulting in
formation Of conservative ministry
Of which Lloyd George win be mem
ber. This paper declared that the pres
ent cabinet lacks vitality.
The Mail declared tho government
is facing the greatest internal crisis
of the war. The Chronicle, Express and
Post attacked tho bill, but the Times
and Telegraph supports it,
The general view here is that despite
the opposition of laborites and Irish
parliament viii pass the bill.
A preliminary test vote was slated
today.

"It is also impossible under present
conditions" he said, "to enlist over

should rest upon its citizens and not
upon a professional paid force. !"
As for the militia, he suggested that

Washington, jan GA dispatch to-
day from American Consul Garrels nj
Alexandria indicated that the govern.
ment now has all the information on

ma or Berlin. His message said that
survivors affidavits throw no more
light on the situation.
Garrels said that no submarine or
other boat was seen by survivors from
whom he had obtained affidavits.
The state department admitted that
the affidavit of the officer whom press
reports quoted as saying he had seen
the wake of torpedo was included in
those Garrels obtained. Hence it was
considered significant that Garrels re-
ported no further information was oh.
tanned. In view Of Garrels' report, il
means that the department has no proof
that a submarine was responsible for
the vessels sinking.
Specially was Garrels point consid-
cred important in view Of Secretary
Lansing's repeated assertion that it is
not certain the Persia was sunk by a
submarine. Menatime, Lansing is
keeping an open mind in the situa-
ton.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

18S1-Rudie (Boer) Unholz, light weight boxer, born at Mannheim-on- the-Rhine, Germany. Unholz died in Los Angeles last June, victim of tuberculosis. He left wife and three children, for whom fund of s1,000 was raised by a benefit given by the boxers of Southern California. Un- holz was popularly supposed to be a Boer, but as a matter of fact he was Teuton, and one of a very few na- tives of the Kaiser's Empire who have ever displayed any class in the ring. He spent his youth in South Africa, where he began fighting in 1903, and this accounts for the popular mis- conception as to his origin. After having achieved fair success in South Africa, he went to England in 1904, but returned to South Africa in 1905. Ten years ago he came to America, and his first bouts on this side were staged in New England. Late in 1906 he went to Milwaukee. where he de- foul to Clarence English. In 1907 he lost on a foul to Cyclone Johnny Thompson at Ogden, Utah, by whom he was later knocked out in San Fran cisco, Unholz then went to Australia, where he took part in many battles, defeating Hugh Mehegan but was knocked out by Johnny Summers. He came back to America in 1911. His last important bout was with Ad Vol gast, who knoekSd him out in the End round at Fond du Lac early in 1914.
