WANTS 1T UNDERSTOOD
FIGHT is AGAINST GANG
One Leader Says If Let Alone
the Bunch VIII Hang
Themselves

New York, Jan. 19.-George w.
Perkins gave the progressives a new
hymn today which he used to char.
acterize the new progressive movement
as Onward CChristian Soldiers, typi-
iled that spirit of two national con
ventions of the party.
Asked what would be done if the
republican national committee is NOT
called to make adjustments demanded
by the progressives, the former bull
moose chairman said:
can only refer you to the old
song we used to sing in our church
choir-'Lead Kindly Light, one step
enough for me -
let them meet and decide what
they ha1e to offer and then We will
decide what will be done," he said.
He intimated calling of the republican
committee meeting didn't necessarily
insure smoothing out of the latest
break in the republican, progressive
ranks.
'I want it distinctly understood, =
Perkins said, "tha@ this fight is not
against the rank and file. of the re-
| publican voters of the country, but
| against that element of control which
has been unwilling to allow the pro.
gressive Independent voters to have a
choice in the better policies Of the re.

Perkins was iubilant over the flood
of kilograms supporting his attack on
the old guard.
One message from Charles Sumner
Bird of Massachusetts read:
''Tell the republican national exeeu.

them alone and they will hang tnem-
selves.D

announced were received today from

Nothing Doing In
Wall Street Today

New York, Jan. 19.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Except for the operation Of the pro
fessional element and some cash buy
ing by individual investors, accompan-
led to certain extent by institutional
.buyinr of high class preferred stocks,
business in today Is stock market was
practically at a standstill.
Sentiment of the floor traders was
bearish. Attendance in the commission
houses was light and wire houses, which
have been selling short of late, did
scarcely any business at all The activ-
tiles of the German raider, or raiders,
in the South Atlantic made but little
impression.
Mercantile Marine common touched
81 and the preferred crossed SS, the
highest level for those issues since the
first days of the New Year.
Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies ad-
vanced more than four points and Unit
ed Fruit made a similar gain.
United States Steel moved forward
more than a point to nearly 1l6 then
reacted a point or more. Bethlehem
Steel again lost on financing and 9th
er rumors, selling as low as $500 in the
second hour of the afternoon the lowest
price since 1915.
Prices backed and filled to some ex
tent following recessions Of one to two
points in the late trading.
