NEW YORK. Aug. 1s Omitted
Press showed a strong tone
at the opening of the stock market
today. rejecting the announcement
that rail executives and brotherhood

tomorrow in an effort 70 reach an
agreement regarding labor troubles.

Industries showed much more
buoyancy than rails because of the

dealings. Crucible gained q to 93G.
Studebaker jumped 4 TO 125%.
Baldwin raised q to 123% and Mex

group in a bullish demonstration
which resulted in substantial gains
in Pittsburgh and West Virginia and

Crucible reached a new high for

Stocks continued strong IN the

believe curtailment OF production
resulting from labor troubles has
laid the foundation for a period OF
imitation this fall, which will bring |
about booming Of commodity prices |
and considerably higher levels for |
security values.
Persistent accumulation in recent
strike difficulties was based on this
expectation. Rails were especially |
well bought because Of the food OF

An investigation Is being made by

It was reported that ffty-eight
men were brought in from points
South, and It is claimed, from in
formation obtained from one OF them
who came out. they were "shang-

was stated. were escorted from the
yards and assisted in getting out OF
the city.
It also was reported that the Penn

Pullman strikers are remaining firm.
It was claimed that the efforts of the
railroads to get skilled men to take

and that the type OF men
now employed at the shops is of low
standard and able to accomplish
little work.

VOTESATURDAY
Mrs. Ashbrook Points Out
Importance of Taking
Part in Primaries
STATE OFFICERS
TO BE CHOSEN

Mrs. Julia II. Ashbrook.i chair
man OF the Women's Republican
| First District Committee of this
! city, is eager that all Republican
: women. who have registered this
year, shall vote at the Republican
primary election which will be held
in this city and throughout the State
on next Saturday. August 10. at
which delegates will be elected to
the Republican state convention,
which will meet in Dover on August
22nd.
That convention will nominate
candidates for United States Sena-
tor, Representative In Congress,
State Treasurer, State Auditor and
State Irsurance Commissioner. In
addit. on, II will elect new members
of the Republican State Committee.
Delaware women should realize
now. at the very outset, so TO speak,
of their political careers. that they
have no duty that is more import
ant than is the duty to take an ac-
tive. intelligent and a patriotic
interest in party primaries IL is at
such primaries that the real work
OF a political party is performed. be-
cause II is there that candidates are
nominated and tickets made up.
One Of the great handicaps suffered
by political organizations in the past
has been that men voters have re-
mained away by thousands from the
primary polls, and have permitted
minorities OF the parties to set up
tickets and policies, for the party |
maJorlties to accept on election day. |
1T Is encumbent upon Delaware |
women TO do the thing that Della |
ware men in the past have failed |
many times to do. Therefore. I ap- /
peal to them TO come out in full |
force and vote at the Republican !
primaries on next Saturday. Each /
woman should remember. however.
that unless she has registered this |
year, she will have no right TO par
ticipate In the primary election.
Everyone should realize that
much that Is of national and party
interest will attach to that primary
election. The delegates selected
will nominate candidates for United
States Senator and Representative
in Congress. on the National end OF
the ticket and, on the state end of
1t. candidates for State Treasurer.
state Auditor and state Insurance
Commissioner. Another important
that the convention viii;
perform will be the election OF mem
bers of the Republican State Com
mittee, which should Interest Della
e,-f.-
cause the State Committee really is
the Republican party OF the State.
to all intents and purposes, between
and the women voters
of our State have a right, which !
they should exercise. to demand .
representation thereon. /
Therefore. l appeal TO all Re-
publican women in Wilmington and
throughout the State. to come out
on Saturday and vote"

said, had been made by Ganun and
authorized by him:

as author OF the 100 love letters to

letters were attributed to John Nee
