|NDUSTR|ALS WEAK
ON PRICE CUTTING
Sears Roebuck Raided.
Harvester Shares Soft.
Rails Resist Bear Efforts.
BY STUART p. WEST.
Stan CORRESPONDENT.

NEW YORK, October Especially -
Again today the market had to face
the uncovering of a number of weak
spots. and again it acquitted itself
very well. Encouraged by the col
lapse in Texas and Pacific shares yes
terday. professional traders working
on the short side went in search of
other stocks that might prove vul-
nerable
Sears Roebuck was driven down vio-
lently on the report that as condi-
ton of the new 100000 note issue
a reduction in the dividend from 8 to
6 per cent would be demanded.
More attention was paid to the state
mary of iron trade conditions that the
buying of steel by agricultural inn
plement makers had begun to fall off
This caused some sharp selling in
International Harvester. Steel stocks
were under some pressure, but did not
yield as much as they had on 9th er
days.
With these exceptions the market
was distinctly strong. The oils, mo-
tors, tire shares and others which
have recently been targets for short
selling displayed increasing resist
ance to bear attacks.
Railway shares, which on two previ-
Gus days had been inclined to slip,
showed clearly enough that they had
reached the limit of their reaction
yesterday.
While low-priced rails were on the
mend, it was the standard dividend
payers upon which interest mainly
conferred.
Announcement that the Reading
directors were to meet this afternoon
led to the surmise that the segrega-
ton plan would then be taken up and
this stimulated fresh buying Of the
Reading stocks. Southern Pacific was
another leader, getting through it's
previous high. and Northern Pacific,
Great Northern preferred, New York
Central, Atchison and Union Pacific
were all at one stage or another very
strong.

received. the members Of the party left
the executive offices greatly encourag-
ed and with a feeling that their ap-
peal would be granted.
The Prisoners Relief Society of the
District also has interested itself in
the case Of the Berry woman. An ap-
peal for life Imprisonment instead Of
hanging has been forwarded to Secre-
tary Tumulty by E. E. budding, presi-

In his statement Mr.. McFadden de-

Failure of the United States to act
Mr.. McFadden asserted, will permit
the British empire to gain an unques-
toned supremacy in the worlds gold
production. South African producers
who mine the bulk of the British
gold. he added, have been receiving
an exchange premium as high as sc
per cent since July, 1919. and the
French government. in addition ia

tax of $3.73 an ounce for gold used

United States to the gold production

contributed in 1915, while the stimu-

OUTLINES METHOD
TO TEACH PRINTING
Plan to Better instruction in
Washington Schools in
Typothetae Report.

A plan whereby master printers,
union representatives and school Oh
fetal will cooperate in improving the
teaching of printing in the schools of
Washington is outlined in the annual
report of the committee on teachlng
printing in the public schools OF the
Typothetae of Washington, Byron b
Adams, chairman. The report Is con-
tanned in the year book. and was made
public yesterday.
In part the statement says:
unfortunately the present equip
ment is not properly co-ordinated. nor
is it as modern as it should be. inns
is not intended as criticism of the
school officials. but it is due to lack
of proper appropriation on the part OF
Congress and improper expenditure OF
what was appropriated. The boys who
receive instruction in our schools TO-
6ay do not pursue these studies with
an idea of following the printing trade
after gradual ton. 1t is right mere that
we feel much constructive work might
be accomplished.
From information received from
large number of the leading cities of
the country we are convinced that
there is much room for Improvement
in the teaching of printing in the
schools of Washington.
I'VE have requested the various
trades unions in our industry to name
:, representative to serve on com
mittee composed of members of the
Typothetae. and they have slgnlhed
their intention of cooperating with
US We believe that a committee
composed of the master printers. an
official of the public schools and the
representatives of the unions can
work out a solution of the problem
confronting US.
TT came to our attention some little
while ago that the purchasing Off
cial of the District was about to buy
for use in the schools monotype
and linotype knowing the situa-
ton as it exists. we Immediately took
the matter up with the officials and
advised them that the purchase of
this equipment would be unwise. They
Immediately directed the proper off,
Gals to proceed no further"

NEW PASSPORT REGULATIONS

President Bracey Curtis of the Chamber of Commerce has ap- pointed Joaquin Legarra, Ma nuel Escalada and w. J. Phillips as a committee to see what can be done toward getting a change for this port in the passport re- 'gulations which are to go into effect on July 1st, requiring all American consulS to charge $1OOO for viseing passports.
 The local Chamber of Com merce is determined to put up a hard fight to get relief from this law, which will most surely cause the loss of many thous- ands of dollars worth of trade to the city annually.
 No objection will be made to the clause making a charge of $1O.OO to Americans when get ting a passport from Washing ton, as it is conceded that any one wanting a State Department passport is most certainly able to pay 5000 for it; but the clause requiring charge of 5000 for the wise of a passport for a Mexican to come across the line to purchase clothes, when there is now an under standing between Mexico and the United States requiring the wise of the passports every three months, will mean that very few of them will come to Nogales to do their buying.
