BULLISH MOVEMENT
 IN STOCK DEALS
Steel and Motors Get Good
 Buying Support

New York, Nov. B R-Resump- ton of the upward movement of prices in today's stock market was featured by series of bullish dem- onstrations in special issues, which gave promise of fashionable dividend action in the near future or hold prospects of unusually heavy holiday business. With only a slight increase in brokers loans reported by the Federal Reserve Bank last week, op- orators for the rise saw nothing in the credit situation to interfere with their campaign for higher prices.
 U. S. Steel and General Motors continued to receive good buying support, but Baldwin was in rather heavy supply as a result of reitera- ton of official denials that an early sale of the Philadelphia real estate was contemplated. Rails also were in greater demand following the publication of series of liquid earn ings statements. making favorable comparison with the same month last year.

WELD CRITICIzES
 HAMLIN PETITION
(Continued from First Page)

on which will be placed placques with the name of each man who gave his life for this country, an indi- vidual tribute to each nah and heroes may go and place their of- fering of flow, IFS, and where they may feel that their loved one has an individ al place in the hearts of the community. A place where they may go free from the turmoil of business and whirling automobiles and prying eyes to mourn in peace.
 T feel so deeply about this mat ter that I do not believe that any one really wishes to cut down the trees and level the hill on the pub lie entrance to a public park where the public is allowed to drive and pass with no thought for the mean ing of the shafts which have served their temporary purpose so well. and to make these shafts into permanent cold granite monuments. l cannot believe that even Elihu Burritt, that learned man, who was one of the greatest opponents for peace In his time, would wish the city of New Britain to erect as its memorial cemetery that would be but sign- post. a danger signal or warning against war. Better far that we should erect monument over the graves of each of our heroes in the cemeteries in which they H., than 10 erect on a l Lie highway these in- dividual shafts where no mortal may pay tribute in silence and quiet"
 Statement by Hanlin.
 Mr. Hamlin made the following statement today:
 Nearly everyone wishes this ques- ton brought back to the citizens for decision after very careful study. Very few persons have been im- pressed by the statements that the erection of an arch at the entrance to the park is physical impossi- bility
 Persons having petitions to cir culate are as follows: George V. Hamlin, 45 Camp street; Charles F. Chase, 241 West Main street; Ed ward Lancaster. 6S Ten Acre Road; Wm. Cashmere, 206 Maple street: F. s. Illingworth, 27O Maple street; ex-Mayor George A. Quigley, Main street Mrs. Cora Hum Eddy, presi- dent of Daughters of Union Vet erans. PAP Church street; Clarence M. Foberg. 92 Jubilee street: Mrs. Starr. 69 Howard street: Mrs. M. H. Gibney, Al Park street; Daniel J. Sullivan, 113 Greenwood street: George H. Hamlin. 45 Camp street.
 Demands for petitions and op- portunity to sign are coming in rap idly.
 The deeper we go into this af- fair the more apparent 1t becomes that the public has not been treated fairly. There is Q story going the rounds that councilmen, couple of years ago, were won over to the idea of the monument by taking them, during a recess of the council, up into little room where there were models of the then proposed monu- mept shown bearing bronze tablets carrying names of the councilmen.
 "On all sides 1t is said that tht present monument problem has been brought about by the dominating will and influence of one man who more than any other individual in the city has resorted to every pos sible scheme to accomplish his pur- pose. It is almost impossible to talk with people without hearing this. People also tell of the cold and in- different manner in which all op- position to the monument has been met, since the question first began to aggravate the public"
