WALL STREET
GAMBLERS LOSE
ON VET BONUS
Caught Short When Veto
Was Overridden

NEW YORK, May 20-The sharpest
declines in months were registered
on the Stock Exchange this morning
the aftermath of news that the Sen.
ate had overridden President Cool
idge's veto of the bonus bill.
Great numbers of selling orders,
rushed in after the market closed
strong yesterday, pushed issues down
at the opening today from 1s to 6
points.
Passage of the bonus spelled one
thing to Wall Street.-The hope of a
reduction in taxes gone glimmering.
Up to the very last minute yester-
day the financiers hoped for sustain
ing of the presidents veto by the SEN
ate. This was clearly portrayed in
the rally just at the close yesterday
when stocks mounted fractionally
higher for the day.
It has been assumed that many of
the larger operators had fully dis
counted the passage of the bonus.
but opening prices indicated many
did not
One of the phases OF the overnight
news of the bonus, so to speak, was
the hurry up call for margins sent out
to every margin trader in Wall Street.
Clients who were unable to put up
the heavy margin asked for were sold
out this morning, as the initial quota
tions mutely testify.

SCABS LOST

STRIKE.
Missing StrikebreGkers
Sought By Cops

BERLIN, May 2o.-Scabs or
emergency" workers as they
are called in the capitalist and
socialist press are trying to oper-
ate the mines struck by the
coal diggers who refused to ac-
cept the terms of the bosses,
backed up by the capitalist gov
eminent.
The disappearance of several
scabs is made the pretext for the
use of violence on the part of
the police against the strikers.
Emergency" workers unacquainted
with mining, are liable to meet with
accidents, but instead of conducting
more Investigations the authorities
are making wholesale arrests of Com
munist leaders.
Communists Lead Miners.
The Communists and the syndical-
lists, because of their championship of
the shorter work day and their opposi-
tion to acceptance of the boss terms.
have secured the leadership of the
miners. The Socialist and the Catholic
leaders are urging the men to return
to work
Several leaders of the miners union
were arrested and the union head
quarters searched.
In Gelsenkirchen 900 miners wives
entered the Koenigsgrube mine and
drove off the scabs. The situation is
pregnant with possibilities.

DUD TAYLOR
COAT TO
Girl STRIKER
Bosses Lawyer Razzed
Out of Court

When Wanda KoIIetta appears
before Judge Sullivan to "show
cause why she should not be
punished for contempt of
court" this morning she will be
the proudest girl among the so
garment strikers who will also
be in court.
For Wanda was the cause of
Dudley Taylor, the brains of
the dress manufacturers associ-
alton, getting the razzberry in
the S. Clark st. police court yes
terday. Wanda was arrested
Monday evening and charged
with assault.
Yesterday when she appeared in the
S. Clark street court to answer the
charge Dudley Taylor was there to
see that she got the brand of justice
that his tool Donnie" Sullivan hands
out.
Taylor had come to represent the
girl who claimed she had been as
saulted. When Wanda's case was
called Dudley marched up to the
bench and asked that he be granted a
continuance for few days who
are you," asked Judge Eberhard?
The Great Am.
Il am here for the complainant. 1
am Dudley Taylor" said Dudley. He
told who he was as if he thot the
court would drop dead of respect.
This fellow apparently doesn't
know much about the law said r. ].
Kicker, lawyer for the union who
represented Wanda. THE defendant
wants a jury trial He will get all the
time he wants. The case win not be
heard here, Mr.. Taylor"
Tell your troubles to a jury"
sighed the judge, and that was that.
When Wanda and her lawyer went
to the rear of the court room Taylor
followed them and tried to serve Z.
notice ito show cause" on Wanda be-
fore she had left the court room.
"You Poor Fish,"
Kicker gave poor bud one look.
You poor fish, do you want to get
soaked for contempt of court? Don't
you know you can't serve a defendant
in a court room? Take that notice
back or I'll have you before the Judge.
Where do you think you are, in bar
room? Or maybe you think you are
in Sullivan's court. Beat it,"
bud had never been treated like
that before and he was sore. He took
the notice and attempting to recap
ture his lost goat marched from the
room. In the outer hall he tried to
disguise himself to look like tele-
phone booth and waited for Wanda.
Still Has His Goat.
When Wanda left the court room
her quick eye penetrated buds dis
guise and she marched up to him and
took the notice out of his hand. BEAT
it," she whispered to bud before the
squirrels get you"
That is why Wanda Kolletta is
proud girl this morning; she still has
Dud's goat.
