THIRTY MILLION
DOLLAR CRASH
OF STOCK firm
Brokerage Firm Did
Not Meet Payments

A $3o,ooo,ooo crash rocked the fin
ancial district here yesterday when

oldest brokerage houses in Chicago
was placed In the hands Of receivers
by Federal Judge Carpenter.
Creditor banks filed the petition.
The Chicago Title and Trust Co. was
named receiver
Chester R. Davis OF the Chicago
Title and Trust Co., was placed in
charge Of the company's offices, occu.
plying an entire floor Of loop office
building.
Offices Closed.
Davis barred every one but his inn
mediate aids from the offices, and de-
tails concerning the financial difficult
ties Of the company were meagre.
20 Million Liabilities.
The petition for receivership was
filed in conjunction with a petition for
adjudication. Altho merchandising
bills totalling sS44.73 threw the firm
into receivership, the receivership pc
tition AYERS that the liabilities Of the
firm approximate $29,00O.O00.
cts said liabilities of $29,000.00O,"
the petition. AYERS, ARE almost wholly
stock and other securities which are
in fact the property Of its customers
and are pledged in various banks"
The petition charged that the firm
committed an act Of bankruptcy on
July 1 by paying to Charles ]. Trott-
man $4,000 with intent, It is alleged.
to give Trottman preference over
other creditors.
So suddenly did the petition come
that the board Of governors Of the
Board Of Trade were not appraised of
the action until late last night, after,
1t is understood, the creditors held
meeting and determined upon the
bankruptcy proceedings A meeting of
the governors was called at 6 A. M.
and the board voted the customary
Ave day suspension.
New York Petition.
NEW YORK, July 8. - Coincident
with the announcement that the New
York Stock Exchange suspended the
firm Of Dean Onativia and Company.
for failure to meet its obligations. an
involuntary petition in bankruptcy
was filed in the United States District
Court against the firm by three en-
ployes.
The assets were given at $4,000. 600
and liabilities $1,O0O.0O0 IN excess OF,
assets, according to the petitioning
creditors.
The suspension had little effect ON
the trading in Wall Street, aftho It
brought some liquidation for evening
up accounts.
The New York Curb Market fol-
lowed the exchange, and also an
nounced suspension of the company.
William M. Cannon Of the New
York Federal Court was appointed re-
ceiver for Dean Onativia & Co. nm
der a bond of $4,000.

LABOR COUNCIL,
Los ANGELES,
IS AGAINST War
BY r. BELLIT
Worker Correspondentl

LOS ANGELES, July 3.-The Gen.
trail Labor Council of Los Angeles, re-
fused to participate in the mobiliza-
ton program Of Defense Day July 4th.
John Horn, secretary of the Central
Labor Council, pleaded for the De-
Tense Day. He made a motion that
all the delegates should officially re-
present organized labor of Los Ange-
les at the parade; furthermore he
want that the communication of the
war department should be published
in The Citizen, official weekly of the
Central Labor Council.
During his speech he did not over
look to remind the delegates that 10
Communists were expelled of the
council due to their disloyalty and
unpatriotic attitude. He also threat
ened should the council decide con-
trarily to his motion. He himself as
an individual would attend the parade.
In reply to that the delegate of the
Cigar Makers Union Local No. 225
said, Should you decide to fine one
hundred dollars, shall refuse to take
part In that shameless imperialist
parade" He also pointed out that war
is always the rich mans sport where
the poor man is the looser.
Other delegates opposed the motion.
When vote was taken, the results
was as follows: "a for the motion, and
~ against, approximately about %
have not voted at all.
There is no doubt about that, that
organized labor of Los Angeles is
against the Defense Day parade,
against war, against the imperialistic
operations Of Sec'y. of War Weeks.
John Horn is a little bit in despair,
he had seen that when he goes too
far, then, his own followers are turn
ing away from him.

CURLEE STRIKE
effective; NO
CLOTHES MADE
St. Louis Girls Fight
Loyalty for Union

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July s.-The ST.
Louis strike Of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers OF CurIee Manufac
turing Co. has been bitterly fought for
over a month. The Police brutality in
the strike aroused the public to such
an extent that protest meeting was
held by men and women, representing
many organizations on Wednesday
afternoon.
Lawyers, doctors, businessmen and
club women expressed their disap-
DroVal of the methods used by the
employers to break this strike. Nearly
$4,000 in fines have flIed-up against
the strikers in wholesale arrests.
In one day, fifty-two union men and
women were arrested, and every day
many more are dragged to court on
all kinds of trumped-up charges.
Mother Bloor, former General Or
ganizer Of the United Cloth Hat &
Cap Makers, now touring the country
for the DAILY WORKER, received a
great ovation from the strikers at
their meeting on Thursday morning,
where she appeared, very unexpect-
eddy, and addressed them-on the fun
damental principles of their great
union-solidarity of all workers in the
shop, without regard to color, race
nationality or creed.
She showed how the standards of
living both mental and physical, had
been uplifted by the power Of the
workers themselves. That union men
and women do things for themselves,
do not ask charity in any form.
Good union men and women are
self-respecting workers with an inter-
est in there own class, their own life,
and their fellow workers.
Brother Oliver is doing good work
as manager Of the strike and is ably
assisted by some of the women organ
izers.
One feature of this strike is the
great activity OF the women workers
They are just as strong as when the
fight first started, and are out to win
recognition Of the union and union
conditions for their shop in spite of
police brutality, in spite Of Curlee's
determination to make open shop con-
ditions, and even in spite of the in
junction issued against the picketing.
They are good strikers and know what
they want.

punches Of detectives with their ma
chine guns and riot clubs and billies
and the private sluggers in droves,
the already small number Of scabs is
being whitfield down. The strikers
manage to talk with them in one Ian
guage or another and put forth con-
vincing argument against scabbing.
Scabs Have Gay Time.
Twelve of these smelly United Gar
ment scabs were let out OF the back
door into the alley, lined up like
prisoners surrounded by Is cops and
a squad Of sluggers, marched like
prisoners out into the street along the
gutter Of one block, into the alley on
the next block and by devious route
into the elevated station. There the
cops tried to stop the pickets from
entering until the scabs were safely
flown, but one woman managed to
have chat with one scab, who was
so interested that he went away and
forgot his hat, which wasn't worth
much except for COW feed, however.
The outside contract firms that used
to make many of the firms order have
shut off doing so, and at the meeting
Friday night Of shop chairmen, in
structions were issued to stop all at
tempts to get the scabby firms orders
made in other shops.
The morale of the strikers is ex-
cellent and they are determined to
see the fight thru, in spite of all po-
lice brutality, there being nine arrests
Thursday and many clubbings by the
police, one striker being knocked
down with the butt end Of gun
Among those arrested we're M. Weiss,
M. Ziccarelli and Mike Florida.
Have to Fight Class War.
The meetings at Hod Carriers Hall
maintain the mass morale at fighting
pitch. Many officials spoke. Refer
ring to the Fourth of July, one speak
er said, "The patriots will tell you
about liberty and democracy, but the
workers never get any Of either unless
they fight for 1t. They will tell you
this stuff on Saturday, but when you
come down to the shop on Monday
you will get slugged and arrested for
your share Of liberty and democracy"
General Organizer Grandinatti, just
came from st. Louis, told the strikers
here of the strike there against the
Curlees Company and what the strike
meant for the union, and an oficial
of Local 80 pledged that the 10000
members Of that local would stand by
the International strikers to the point
of going on strike if necessary to aid
them.
Up to Chicago Federation.
The strikers are waiting impatiently
to see what will be the response Of
the labor unions of the Chicago FEEDER
alton of Labor next Sunday to the
scabbing agreement Of the United
Garment Workers crew headed by
George G. Slater.
