nOWN here in FL Paso away from

about people being marooned on
snowbound trains and think-"well,
they had a nice warm Pullman, cleo

would wake up in a comfortable
berth aboard a modern steel Pull
man and find that the breath they
had eXhaled during the night had
condensed itself and formed a frost
on the inside OF the berth upon the
brass screw heads and the electric
light fixtures, where the paint had
been worn off. until they resembled
the frosted ammonia pipes in a cold
storage house. But all OF it IS true.
and this happened on a train with
steam running through the pipes be-
meath the berths and not over 500
miles from FL Paso.

WITHDRAWAL OF LABOR
AFFECTS STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, October 23.-Stocks
were heavy at the opening of today's
session, the reversal being attributed
to prospects of renewed industrial dis
turbances in connection with the
withdrawal of the labor delegation
from the Industrial conference. Recent
favorites, notably oils, motors and
equipments. reacted l to points with
Republic Iron. which featured yester-
days late dealings, broke 31a at the
outset, United States Steel losing ! u =,
but Bethlehem. Crucible and Lacka-
wanna Steels were strong.
SteelS soon became the outstanding
features, trading in that group as
suming sensational proportions. Dur

business exceeding 100000 shares,
Lackawanna jumped up IAN points,
Crucible. 10; Bethlehem. 4. and Ma
tional Lead. 6. Republic and United
States Steels made full recoveries and
several minor steels rose to s points.
Many of these gains suffered material
reduction later partly on profit taking
and also because of marked heaviness
elsewhere. Oils and motors were under
persistent pressure, declining to 6
points. rails, shipping and coppers
also easing. Call money opened at
per cent.
NEW YORK, October 23.-virtually
all gains were Cancelled at midday on
