NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Bullish
Initiative was restrained IN the first

ance OF considerable profit taking

The refusal OF the market to give
way materially before pressure
testified to the growing conviction
that the recent rise was not
artificial, but was reflection Of an
improved industrial and business
situation.
fractional gains were widely dis
ing. Railroad stocks were influenced
nv the constructive character of the
incoming railroad reports, that OF
the Erie being particularly favorable,
showing an increase in net operat-
ing income of 392 per cent over
that of the corresponding month
last year. Equipment stocks were
featured by q further run up IN
Baldwin, advancing to new high
on the movement, but the balance OF
the list was not inclined to further
its Improvement. Stocks turned dull
for a while, but in the second hour
showed greater activity in the form
of profit taking combined with sell
ing by spectators, playing for e
reaction.
The oil shares bore the brunt Of
the pressure, which was natural in
view of the consistent buoyancy all
last week. Still, even in this quar-
ter losses were mostly fractional,
substantial buying orders counter
acting the reactiOnary movement.
News regarding the oil industry
continued encouraging and included
an increase in exports in crude and
refined products during October
and an advance In certain grades
of gasoline in the Middle West.
Price movements in Maxwell Mo-
tor "a" were carefully watched IN
the hope they would give clue to
the outcome Of the meetings being
held today by both Studebaker and
Maxwell to consider the merger of
the two units. The confused action
Of the stock plainly reflected the
varying opinion Of traders regard

Genoa, Aug. 23--A huge waterspout
burst upon the coast of the Genoese
Riviera today, injuring numerous peo-
pie and doing much damage. The
principal places affected were Sestri,
Pegli Cornigliano and San Pier

ORDER BETTER FOOD
AT THE TOWN Home
Inmates Have Had Enough Of
. Corned Beef and Cabbage
OTHER MEAT TO Be SERVED
Butter Now Provided With Only One
Meal Daily and Milk Used Sparing-
Iy-No Fault Found With Superin-
tendent Kibbe.

The board of public charities has
issued orders to Superintendent and
Mrs. George +. Kibbe Of the town
farm that henceforth better meals
must be served to the inmates Of that
home, it having been found after
perusa of the bills for food that beef
and corned beef were the only meats
being served and that butter was fur
nished at only one meal during the
day, while milk, which is produced
on the town farm, is being used
sparingly. .....
This condition, it was explained,
was no reflection upon the work of
Mr.. and Mrs. Kibbe. In fact, it was
said, the Kibbes have repeatedly
urged upon charity boards that the
menu be improved. Some years ago
it was found that the use of corned
and fresh beef only was not meeting
the approval of the inmates and re-
quests were made of the caretakers
of the home that changes be made.
The matter was brought before the
charity board. AS a result inquiries
were made at other town houses
throughout the state and when it was
found that the New Britain bill of
fare compared favorably with the
others, the board decided to continue
the use of these meats. There have
been few occasions during the year
when another kind of meat or fowl
was substituted, but this was on rare
occasions such as holidays.
Under the new system, already
effective, butter is to be provided at
all three meals, steaks, chops, etc.,
will be served and plenty of milk will
be placed on the tables.
Despite the fact that the changes
will occasion more work for Mr.. and
Mrs. Kibbe the decision of the board
10 improve the menu meets their
hearty approval.

New England Governors in

Boston, Aug. 25.-The belief that

joint special coal investigating COM
mittee of the Massachusetts, legislature

ernors at the state house today to
consider the railroad and coal situa-
tions.

for anthracite" the memorandum
says. "the people of New England
would save not less than $4,000, 900

The committee, which in the course

feels that both sides to the present
controversy between operators and
miners have been and are willing to

BALDWIN PLANS
TO MEET POINCARE
Further Exchange, Of Notes Is
Futile, Premier's Belief
INVITED PARLEY
British Leader VIII Not Formally
Ask for Interview But Believes That
Suggestion Will Be Sufficient
Meeting to Be Held Later.

BY The Associated Press.
London, Aug. 23.-Recognizing the
futility of further exchange of
lengthy notes on the reparation issue
Premier Baldwin has decided to meet
Premier Poincare upon the formers
return from his vacation at Aix-les-
Bains, it became known today.
The British premier will not for
mally ask his French colleague for an
appointment, but will make known
quietly through second parties his
readiness to discuss the whole repara-
ton problem in the light of the
French premier's latest note.
The British premier feels that
while in France he should profit by
the suggestion contained at the end
of M. Poincare's note that France
was ready to discuss the indemnity
problem verbally. 1t is thought
possible Lord Curzon, the secretary
for foreign affairs, may participate
in this conference, since he plans to
remain for some time at Bagnolles,
where he is at present recuperating.
Both Aix-les-B -Baines and Bagnoles
are within easy train distance of
Paris.
1t is felt there is no immediate need
of such verbal exchange of views and
in fact that it would be preferable to
postpone it until the British govern
ment experts charged with the study
of reparation questions have carefully
examined all the clauses of the
French note and presented their find
ings to the cabinet. u
The neeting. therefore in all ikeli-
hood will take place after Mr.. Bald
win has had his vacation and has the
and matured Judgment OF
the cabinet before him.
British treasury officials who ex-
amined the financial features of the
reply said the French figures were
inadequate. They drew the
inference that France. after collect

SIX INJURED, CAR WRECKED,
ANOTHER BURNED In CRASH
ON BERLIN PIKE AT 2 A. M.
BROOKHART ATTACKS
BUSINESS in SPEECH
Says that Laboring Classes
Are Being Capitalized
Distribution Costs Big
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press
Dcs Moines Ia, Aug. 28.-The
economic war" will not end until
business abandons the present preda-
tory methods and unites with pro-
ducers and consumers of the country
in sharing with them their just re-
wards" L. S. Senator Smith w.
Brookhart declared in an address here
today before the Lions club.
Economic operation of all classes,
said the senator, is the solution of
the problem created by inequality of
reward.
Senator Brookhart declared that
capital is taking vast toll of labor"
and that this, with the decreased
earnings of the farmers. rendered la
boring men and farmers natural allies.
Propaganda seeking to separate
them, he declared, was being given
wide circulation.
"Out of the dollar labor pays for
the products of the farm" he said,
"the farmer gets 81 cents as officially
reported by the joint committee of
congress. Out of the dollar the
farmer pays for the products of labor,
the laboring man gets even less. The
last fact is disputed but / think it is
correct.
THE cost of distribution in the
United States is unbearable. Its
waste and inefficiency is destroying
business itself. During the last ses-
sion of congress a distinguished
United States senator said that 95
per cent of American business as now
organized ultimately fails This
situation is unstable and unsound."
