MARK STILL SINKING;
AMERICANS UNLOADING
Unusually Steady Fall in German
Currency Due to "Politica1
SituatiouN

BERLIN. November S.-The dollar
reached 210 marks today, the highest
record, with reports that American
holders of the mark were unloading
heavily. Locally the unusually steady
fall in Germany currency was &C.
credited to "our uncertain political
situation and Germany's great pow
erty."
The newspapers complain that the
depreciation is causing serious losses
to German firms which are under con-
tract to purchase raw materials
abroad or facing the necessity of pur-
chasing foreign products.
The bourse papers regard the course
of the mark IS a catastrophe and call
attention to the general tendency Of
foreigners to sell as evidence of wide
spread lack of faith in Germans eco
nomic future.
The Boersen Zeitung says: Every
one must see that the continued de-
probation of our currency eventually
will result in the realization among
the British, American and French
that enforcement of the treaty pro-
visions means the destruction OF Ger
many's economic life"
The bourse papers hope that some
action will be taken soon with for
eign assistance toward stabilixing
the financial situa tbn, which sbme
believe constitutes menace against
the political as we'll as the economic
existence OF the republic

.LEN|N DEFENDS
CHANGE IN POLICY
First Method of Attack on
Capital Failing, Says New
Tactics Are Needed.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. November Sour pre-
vfous stormy attack upon the capi-
talistio fortress was like the siege Of
Port Arthur" Nikolai Lenin. the Rus
sian soviet premier, declared, in ad-
dressing the communistic party con-
ference Of the Moscow district. 1.-THE
attack failed: therefore, we must pass
to q moro difficult and slower siege,
according to ali tho rules Of military
science"
Responding to criticisms Of his pre-
vious economic policy. Lenin said it
was no mistake to attempt to storm
the capitalistic citadel. but 1t would
be a great mistake to adhere to such
tactics after they were found to be
ineffective.
Changed Policy Needed.
NJ Lenine was optimistic about the
changed economic policy and ironical
in his denunciation Of those who look
declared it would be fatal error to
employ the previous psychology and
methods in the present situation.
The premier was favorably received
by the conference. which enthusiastic
cally indorsed his replies to the crit
les. He looks thinner and appar-
emily is not in rugged health, but
speaks with great force and strength.
Leo Kameneff. president of the
Moscow soviet. addressed the confer
ence on the same subject. He said
the Moscow district was greatly in
arrears because Of the expenditure
for concerns taken over from private
owners. When an attempt was made
to take census of these concerns
and make lists Of the workers en-
gagged it was found there were no
records.
10000. .0OO, 900 Rubles Short.
The budget. which had previously
been $4,000, 100000 rubles monthly for
the Moscow district, NJ. Kameneff said,
had been raised to s0,000.00O,000 but
zoo, 900, 100000 rubles was now re-
quired; therefore there was a short
age OF 10000. 100000. which must be
raised somehow. Taxes were the
chief source. but he could not hope to
get more than 10000, 100000 from
them. Expenses must be curtailed
and the tax rate increased.

 The order sets elections already held and overruled the contention of officials of the railway that their en- p1oyeS' representative shall be chosen without regard for union affiliations. Conferences to- be held before Aug. 12 will determine the method of holding the new elections.
 Officials of the Pennsylvania Rail road frankly stated at recent hear ings of the labor board that they cording to their own plans, virtually denying the right of the board to in- terfere.
 compliance with an order of the board for conferences with it's employees on new rules, had held a general cleo ton. Votes were cast for individuals only, and the names of the various labor organizations among the Penn syIvania employees did not appear on the ballot
 The Labor Board sets aside this election and rules and orders a new election and employees must vote for representatives of their labor organ izations if they desire Representa- tives chosen at the new election are to be recognized by the road in new con- ferences on rules
