City Election

The stage is now set for the city
election, Monday, December /. The
election of Mayor Allie ". Marcy for
second term is assured, for the Dem
ocrats decided at meeting Tuesday
evening not to fill the vacancy at the
head of the ticket left by the party
caucus. Friday evening.
Mayor Marcy has given the city a
clean, progressive, but at the same
time a conservative, administration.
He has put in a great deal of time in
and has advanced measures that will
be of benefit to the city. Not the
least of these is the matter Of gar

time an imperative need. as the situa-

STOCKS TUMBLE IN WALL
STREET.-THE juggernaut of high
money rolled through Wall street on
Wednesday and in its wake stocks
tumbled downward in a wild rush of
selling which has not been equalled
this yeer, which wiped out thousands
Of traders in the market, left others
facing enormous losses and which,
taking into consideration the five pre-
vious days of liquidation, has effaced
two-thirds of the gains stock prices
have slowly but surely accumulated
since late August.
To one cause and one alone was at
tributed the decline which ended on
Wednesday in a swift downward
smash in prices-the attempt of the
Federal Reserve Board to stop specu-
lation, says the New York Sun. With
call money at 30 per cent, time mon
ey at Ia per cent, and with very little
of either sort available, the violent
decline apparently was inevitable and
thousands of shares of speculatively
held stocks were ordered sold Eat the
market"
The effect was one of the widest
days Wall street ever has seen, with
breaks in highly speculative securities
running as high as 68 1-2 points and
with comparatively heavy losses in the
entire list. Approximately 100000
shares of stocks were bought and sold,
more than million shares above the
normal market day. and so wild and
hasty was the trading that the Stock
Exchange tickers were forty-one min
utes behind the market at the closing

STRIKE FADES. MINERS BaLK.

The apparent unwillingness OF all
union coal miners to return to work
at the old pay scale has caused gov
eminent officials to put forth every
effort to bring About immediate nego-
tiations of new wage agreement.
Secretary Wilson. without waiting
| for formal acceptance of his offer to
mediate the differences, began
smoothing the way for the joint con-
| ference of miners and operators he
| has called to meet in Washington to-
| day.
Both sides notified the labor secre-
| tary that they would attend the con-
| ference. Spokesman for the mine
| workers said that if the mine owners
came in a spirit of concliation a new
| agreement could be framed and rati-
fed by Saturday night. Until an
agreement is formally accepted by the
miners scale committee, labor lead
ers say, there was little hope Of full
resumption of coal production.
| 1t was because of this possibility
and the steady drain meanwhile on
the nations visible coal supply that
Secretary Wilson under took to induce
some Of the miners and operators to
see the other fellows side.
The indicated continued suspension
of mining activity in union fields is
not a surprise to government officials,
lnar accepted as an actual test of the
attitude of the miners Complete dis
tribution of the order canceling the
strike might take some time, it is said.
1t is felt, however, that a large num-
Der Of men still might remain out un-
til assured that some of the demands
agreed upon in convention would be
granted.
Labor leaders who have frankly ad-
mitted that public sentiment was
: strongly against the strike, took COM
, fort from what they described as q
seeming change of sentiment as re-
Elected in newspaper editorials. Mes.
sages to labor headquarters stated
that the feeling was growing that the
miners were entitled to higher wages

to discuss the outlook for speedy
