G D D D DEMAND.
SHOWN FOR
STOCKS
Steel and Industrial Shares
Show Activity and Strength
in Early Trading

NEW YORK, Nov. S.--Industrial
stocks retained their strength in
the early trading today in the stock
market. The higher opening prices
for the high priced industrials and
specialties invited profit taking.
Offerings of Cast Iron Pipe, Arneri.
can Radiator and other high priced
stocks were heavy. American Can
was sold at the start, before prices
approached the level Of Saturdays
high.
Further covering of short lines
created a heavy demand for all
stocks. Trading was quite active
In the first hour. Steel and indus.
trial shares formed the bulk Of
speculative activity, with some of
the rails participating on q larger
scale than in last weeks closing
sessions. OH stocks were generally
inactive and inclined to be reac-
tionary following the gains rolled
up in representative issues last
were made in q few issues, includ-
AA16 0N4u1AAAAN' IdSAAAC anu 4GAAb
Company. The Standard OIL stocks,
both on the stock exchange and
the curb market, were firm and
active.
Continuation Of the sensational
advance in Cast Iron Pipe to new
high at 1211a was the feature of
the industrial group. This repre-
sents an almost uninterrupted adj
vance from price of IS recorded
from a sharp decline from 81
earlier In the year. Market action
is due largely to dominance Of pow.
erful pools in it's closely held stock,
operating against a large short in
terest.
Call money rates advanced from
2 to IA per cent for renewals, but
no contraction in money supplies
was reported In the financial dis
trict. Wall Streets anxiety over
election results nearly has disap-
peared, but many cautious traders
were engaged in evening up" their
speculative position over election
day. To this was attributed the
heavy trading in the market lead

RAIL ownership
BY EMP L0YES
SUGGESTED
muller Plan" Proposed By
p. G. Man, Says Il Il Pos
sibIe in Five Years

A plan whereby railroad employees
can create enough capital" to &C.
quire financial ownership Of the
national railway system within /
period Of five years Is set forth by
Jean Paul Muller. washington law
yer and economist, in a. current
issue Of the Railway Age.
Mr.. Muller points out that at
present market prices q majority Of
outstanding stock Of all railroads
could be obtained for about two
and one-ha1f billions. II railway
employees, he says, would save 20
per cent Of their wages, which in
1923 amounted to more than $1,000
900, 900 and invest these savings in
railway. stock they would be able
to secure labor ownership and con,
troll OF all the railroads in the
United States.
Practical operation Of the Muller
plan" as outlined in the Railway
Age would be- as follows:
Briefly, it would provide for an
employees purchasing fund to be
set up on each railway to be con
trolled by a board of. managers
chosen by the. employees themselves
ana acting In cooperation with a
representative appointed by the
board Of directors OF the company
Into this fund the employees would
pay 10 per cent, or 20 per cent,
or some other agreed. upon proper
ton Of their wages, and the board
Of managers OF the purchasing fund
would decide whether money so
accumulated should be invested in
outstanding stock or should be used
for subscribing to new stock which
the directors might issue to care
for current capital requirements.
This alternative would tend to
keep the market for outstanding
stock from rising unduly under
heavy buying, and would also meet
the needs OF the railroads for new
capital. As the employees acquired
q larger and larger control, they
would elect more and more of the
directors, gradually acquiring con-
troll Of the boards.

 A still was found on the premises of Walter Camper which resulted in his arraignment before the U. S. Commissioner. MT.

Visitors from Alabama

Dr. and Mrs. w. H. Gillespie of Birmingham, Alabama, were round trip passengers aboard the Yukon northbound Tuesday. They left Birmingham July for Chicago and from there went to yellowstone Park and on to the PacitIc coast. They toured Mount Rainier Park be- fore leaving for the north. Mrs Gillespie who writes occasionally for publication has contributed the following poem on Mt. Washburn, Yellowstone Park:
 Up where the wind blows Through the lofty Douglas firs,~"~- Moaning low, like mothering ewes Waving its green boughs in the
 forest hues.
 Up where the snow lies White on crevices, where foot can
 not crush,
 From crag to crag the osprey flies Over slopes aglow with Indian
 paint brush.
 Up where snow covers the stone We gaze down on the frowning
 cliff
 Edged with wondrous violets Soft, blue eyed, on stems quite
 stiff.
 There a beauteous maiden spied A petaled mountain daisy. She
 cried,
 "He loves me'-"Yes," the youth
 replied,
 Let's plight our troth beneath
 this crag."
 All was sublime The clouds Drifted fleecy white in the wind Out through the purple mists
 afar.
 She whispered, "Love, I will be
 your guiding starr.

CAMPING PARTY RETURN
FROM AVIAN CREEK

Dr. Diyen who left on the elev- enth for Anan creek to establish a camp for the girl members of the Wrangell Christian Endeavor, re- turned with the campers last Mon day. The girls inth party are in the early teens. They were accom- panied by Mrs. Tozier and Mrs. Pat terson. The following was over heard and compiled by the listener;
 Did we have a good time? I'll say. we did! We saw and ate more fish than ever before in the same num- Der of days. We also saw bears, both little and big, and birds and waterfowl too numerous to men tion. We went swimming daily, and sometimes twice 8 day. We ate freely of the delicious blueber- ries, and brought to camp enough to make some pies. The prospective pies never got beyond the water test for worms in the berries!!! A worm in each berry, and some must have held two!! But the berries we ate weren't wormy. No, sirl!!! Rain? Lots of it! But that didn't make any difference to us. We had a dry place to stay in, plenty of maga- zines to read and songs to sing while it rained. Dr. Diven said we were no good as campers if we couldn't make ourselves comfortable and have a good time regardless of weather, and you may ask him whether we made good on that. Homesick? No! Everybody wanted to stay little longer, though we did overstay our time by two days. Eats? Yes! Plenty of eats, and a jolly good neighbor by the name of Tom Foley, who liked to watch us get away with pea soup and multi gan to the tune 1.-two, gallons at time. The old gentleman made a hit with all of us girls, and a box of our best homemade candy will be on the way to Anan in the future. Co., ing again? Don't ask such foolish questions. Unless Anan creek goes dry between now and next summer, we'll be right there for our annual outing. To Mrs. Tozier, Mrs. Pat terson, Doctor Diven, MT. Schott and Captain Julius Mason of the good ship Eagle, we all express grateful appreciation. We think we had quite as good time as the boys had. Dr. Diven says We ate more, swam oftener, made twice as much noise and did our work cheerfully. That about sums up the outing ex- periences of the Wrangell Christian Endeavor Society for 1924"
