RAIL EQUIPMENT
IN GOOD DEMAND
Rest of Steel Market Very
Quiet-WeekIy Review
of Other Metals.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK September 29.-Aside
from q good business in rails and
railroad equipment, the steel market
has ruled quiet, with some depression
noted in manufactured products. The
expected Japanese business has not
vet materialized aside from fair
inquiry for electrical sheets and do
mestic consumers are keeping In
yentorfes very low in anticipation
OF further decline. Pig iron is st1ll
easy. with stocks accommodating, but
further curtaiIment of production ex-
pected.
Copper was quiet all the week.
Rather freer offerings of electrolytic
were reported by both second hands
and producers in the last few days
and the European markets have
eased off again. Buyers for domestic
consumption, having covered their
requirements for the next sixty days
have temporarily withdrawn from
the market.
Tin, after a temporary advance
came easy on bearish news from the
far east and a continued light demand
from consumers.
Lead showed firmneSs, due to Scant
supplies here and elsewhere, and
prospective good fall buying.
Zinc, owing to a less active export
demand, was a shade easier. There is
talk of closing some mines owing to
low prices.
Anthony was firmer in anticipa-
tion of smaller shipments from China.

NEW YORK, September 2s.-Price
movements in today's stock market
were generally inconclusive, the aver
ages for both rails and industrials
showing slight net losses on the day.
Speculators for the decline launched
another attack on the market, con-
centrating in the motor and accessory
issues and a few specialties, but they
encountered fair resistance, and an
irregular recovery was under way at
the close.
Studebaker Drops to 94R.
Studebaker was hammered down to
e41b, new low record for the year.
but it snapped back later TO go last

lished a new low at 20 Is, ana theh

offered rather freely on reports OF
continued decline in mill operations,
Gulf States Steel breaking points,
but recovering part of its loss later.
United States Steel closed unchanged
at S6A, after having sold nearly half
a point below that figure.
Other Heavy Spots.
Beechnut Packing. Iron Products,
Manati Sugar Stewart Warner,
American Car and Foundry, Manhat-
tan Electric Supply and Strombery
Carbureter off 1 4 to 3A points, were
the most conspicuous heavy spots.
Commission houses reported that pup
lie interest in the market was negli-
gible. short covering operations prob
ably accounting for the gains or a
point or more in Coca Cola, Corn
Products, Jones Brothers Tea and
the Pan-American Oil issues.
Northwestern Railroad issues con-
tinued to lose ground in speculative
expectation that their earnings Will
be materially impaired if the pro-
posed reduction in freight rates on
grain is made effective.
Marks slightly Lower.
Foreign exchange showed only
nominal changes with business quiet
Demand sterling held steady just be-
low S4.55, and French francs were
quoted around els cents. German

PiIIsbury Washburn Inter

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, September
INSTRUMENTATION of the Pillsbury-
Washburn Flour Mills Company, Ltd,
of London and the Pillsbury Flour
Mills Company of Minneapolis with
a capital stock of s12,500.000, was
virtually consummated today when
an amendment to the articles of in
CORPORATION of the Minneapolis COM
pany were filed with the Minnesota
courts.
The amendment, voted at a recent
meeting of the board of directors OF
the Pillsbury Company, authorlzeoi
the increase of the capital from S5,-
600, 900 to s12,500.000. This step in
the international transaction, started
several months ago, now places the
Minneapolis company in a position
to take over the property and assets
of the English company under plans
previously formulated and, approved
by the British courts.
The British company. 1t was eN-
planned, owned the properties now
operated under lease by the Pillsbury
Company of Minneapolis. That lease
was-to expire in 1928 and the presenI
program was launched to bring about
a closer affiliation between the two
companies. The plan is to dissolve
the British company, take II over
under the Minneapolis company and
nav the British stockholders in stock
of the enlarged concern.

SHOPMEN'S COUNSEL
ASSAILS RAIL HEAD

CHICAGO, Sept Statements
inexcusably false" were charged
against James C. Davis. federal di-
rector general of railroads, by Donald
R. Richberg, counsel for the shop
men in the Daugherty injunction case.
In a recent speech Davis attacked
the movement to revalue the railroads
as dangerous to the foundations of
American law and institutions.
In an open letter to the federal d.
rector of railroads, Attorney Rich
berg says his speech is "a good ex-
ample OF the poisonous and dishonest
propaganda which the railroads are
engaged in spreading through news
paper articles and public speeches"
"The amount of money extorted
from the public in the form of ex-
cessive rates and invested in railroad
property as surplus earnings, runs
into several billion dollars" said the
attorney.

LOYAL ORDER MOOSE
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

There are at present two super
visors of the Loyal Order of Moose
on the Harbor, Mr.. Lemon working In
Aberdeen and Mr.. June in Hoquiam.
Both of these men understand the or
ganization and what it is doing for
the widows and orphans of America
and when they relate a few of the
things that the Moose have done, the
head of the family is ready to sign
the dotted line of the application for
membership.
Both of the supervisors are meeting
with splendid success and have Sc
cured many new members for the
Harbor lodges of that order. The Ho-
Quiam lodge initiated large class We'd
nesdy evening and entertained the
new members afterwards with a sup
per, dancing and few acts of Vaude-
Vile. The Aberdeen lodge has post
poned their first initiation until Octo-
ber 9th, when Il will also initiate q
large class. -
To make membership in the HarboI
lodges easy, they have petitioned for
and secured a special dispensation
from the Supreme lodge whereby new
members pay only half Of the regu.
lar initiation fee.
In the event of the death of a
Moose leaving his family destitute,
Moosehert Immediately intervenes,
and takes over the whole family;
feeds, clothes and educates the chill
dren and provides work for the moth
er, for which she is paid. The moth
er and children are not separated. The
children remain at Mooseheart until
they receive a high school education
and learn a trade. At present there
are about 1900 children within its
precincts and they are all happy and
healthy, and are being prepared to
face the world.
Besides Mooseheart, the order has
recently established Moosehaven in
Florida, where the aged members are
cared for in their declining years. AS
at Mooseheart, there is no separation.
the aged couples being sent there to-
gether, provided with all comforts
until death do them part.

NATIONAL LINOTYPE
SCHOOL CONSIDERED
Intertypo News Service.

Plans for the establishment of a
national linotype school are under con-
sideration by officials Of the Interna-
tiona1 typographical Union, it has
been announced at headquarters of
the union at indianapolis, Ind. The
program includes merging of several
trade schools now receiving financial
support from the international or
ganization.
A current shortage Of typesetting
machine operators has inspired union
officials to encourage an extensive
training program, according to Chas.
P. Howard, acting president.
"The linotype school, conducted by
the union at Baltimore, Md, has
turned out fifty graduates in one
term" said Mr.. Howard. "At Nash
vile, Tenn, a school operated in the
Labor Temple is growing very rapid
ly. The New York school has been
in existence for some time and has
served a very useful purpose. A new
school is being opened In st. Louis,
Mo, and others will be opened as
rapidly as conditions permit. Later,
it is intended to combine the group
in a national school. Members Of To-
cal unions are acting as instructors
in the schools now. Each school
must have several costly linOtypes
for instruction in operation, repair
and for practice"
