LOAN MARGINS.
LOOSENED UP
Money Committee Gives
Out Decision After Close
Of Stock Market.
By BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Dec. 4.-Stocks were
irregular today. rejecting a waiting
disposition on the part of the finan-
cial district for some announcement
py the money committee relative to
margins on brokers' loans. Several
rallies were witnessed during the
session. but on each bulge sufficient
stocks Were supplied to cause a
slight recession.
II was not until after the close of
the session that the money commit
tee issued statement declaring that
II would instruct banks to replace
the old margin requirements of
brokers on collateral loans. Margins
or from 80 to 37h per cent have been
insisted on by banks, but they will
now install the old system of 20
per cent While this ruling is not
expected to release any great volume
OF money, 1T is expected to have a
sentimental effect on the price list
IN that 1t indicates that the money
committee shows signs of realizing
mat the restrictions have been too
drastic and have worked hardships
upon the transactions in securities.
Specialties were strong spots in
the days trading. This was par
tlcularly true of the tobacco shares
and Distillers' Securities Corpora
ton stocks. Tobacco Products and
united Cigar Stores were bought
for the same reasons that have been
repeatedly set forth in this column.
Disttllers was strong owing to
statements by insiders that the COM
pany will liquidate its product at
ah -
were heavy throughout the session.
owing to the expectation of lower
prices for the metal.
= National Lead Advances.
Buying of National Lead stock
caused an advance of one point in
that issue and was based on expec-
tation that the United States Cart
ridge Company. a subsidiary, which
has been making cartridges for the
last four years, will probably make
distribution to the parent COM
pany now that the war is over
Other points in favor of the issue
are that it is controlled by Standard
Oil interests and pays per cent
in dividends annually.
The accumulation of California
Petroleum common and preferred
shares that has been going on for
weeks was reflected today in a
strong and active market for those
issues. Accompanying the strength
were rumors that the company con-
templated paying off the . per cent
of back dividends on the per cent
preferred stock. This payment de-
pends, however. upon the successful
completion of a deal for the sale of
the company's oil inventory.

 Patrick F. OMeara of New Haven, who will probably be elected next
 president of the Connecticut Federa tion of Labor; called attention to the fact that the cie5 court record of New Haven shows fewer arrests for drunkenness the past year for forty years. He said that 1t was signiii-
 cant of the fact that prohibition. is not necessary to promote temperance. The league passed amendments to the constitution relating to assess ments of organizations affiliated with it and membership fees of individuals with view to creating a fund 10 meet the expenses incident to opposi- tion to prohibition legislation.
 The executive. council was directed to prepare a plan by which fraternal Organizations can affiliate with local branches of the trades union league
 of Connecticut.
 On the motion of Delegate Carl
 Lang of Bridgeport the executive
 council was instructed in the event of congress passing a wartime pro- hibition bill to telegraph President Wilson asking him to veto it.
 A resolution was passeI providing | that all members of organized labol
 shall consider the interests of the
 workers engaged in the liquor indus try on the question of prohibition when casting their ballots on election | day, in accordance with 6 guarantee Of the American Federation of Labor l to protect the interests of all allied organizations.

 an organization for the protection of

 league is that if liquor goes out sev- eral thousands of men will be thrown out of work thus increasing labor com petition. -fs.~ At the convention Organizer John Riley of Danbury made a report which indicated an increase of membership In the various locals of the league. It was voted that copies of President Smiths address be mailed to President Wilson, members of'' congress and
 members of the next general assembly. In the course of his address President Smith said.
 A prohibition amendment has been
 passed by congress to the constitution
 and submitted to the legislatures of the different states for ratification or rejection. All honest men are agreed
 that it is a political movement. in
 passing this prohibition amendment.
 The adoption of such an amendment
 without giving the people the oppor- tunity of passing judgment on it, es- pecially in view of the fact that it is apparent that it is such an invasion of the personal liberty of the people, is pernicious and mischievous,"
