NEW YORK, July 20.--Stocks Of

Of the speculative interest in the
stock market in the early trading
today. Hudson Motors Jumped into
the spotlight with a new 4-point
gain in the first period but de.
clined to IS. Professional trading,
chiefly the squeezing OF the
shorts" was the most important
factor in the market movements
of this stock.
The financial district was pleased
with the weekly report on brokers'
loans, issued after the close OF
business yesterday. It showed that
there was no increase in specula.
tive borrowing, despite the recent
heavy turnover in stocks at higher
price levels. The chaotic situation
in the foreign exchanges spread to
the Italian Ira, which also reached
new low for the year, in com
pany with the French franc, which
today appropriated 2 cents to the
franc.

WASHINGTON INTERESTED.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Great Brit
aims first general strike created an
engrossing subject for discussion in
both official and labor circles OF
Washington today but the only state
ment forthcoming was that of Will
liam Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, in which he
sympathized with the British coal
miners and declared their demands
should be speedily met.
Officials generally declined to spec
ulate on the probable effects of the
strike on American industry and COM
merce, in the belief that opinions in
this country would not be wanted in
England and probably would unduly
agitate an apparently serious situa-
tion.
Announcement was made at the
White House that President Coolidge
sees no connection between the crisis
in England with labor conditions in
this country and that he does not be-
.lieve the strike has progressed to
the point where it might affect this
country's commerce to an appreciable
degree.

SIDES IN
STRIKE S TAND
FIRM TU f SDAY
(By Dispatch A. p. Wire)

The end of the first "a hours of the
strike that has paralyzed Great Brit
ain industries, finds both sides in the
struggle standing pat" The govern
ment had declared the next move up
to the strikers and no response has
been forthcoming from the leaders.
Although the strike extends from one
end Of the country to the other, peo-
pie, aside from a. few inconvenience,
have not even begun to feel it's real
effects. The government and indus
trial leaders working both alone and
separately have set up machinery for
supplying the populace with those
things absolutely essential for It's ex-
istence.
The first day of the tieup was mark
ed by the absence of any general dis
turbances. A few sporadic outbursts
occurred but they were confined to
districts ordinarily known as tough"
neighborhoods. The greatest concern
is felt over the attitude of the seamen
and ships firemens union. If they
cast their lot with the strikers, the
country faces the ugly prospect of
food shortage. The government asserts
that the tieup is not as complete as
strike leaders intended and that the
people are rousing themselves to help
the government carry on"
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor says
that British miners are justified in
their demands. American steamship
companies reported business as usual
with no cancellations of passage res
ervations because of the tieup.

OPEN DEBATE TODAY
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The $165.-
100000 public buildings will struck
another snag today in the senate just
as leaders anticipated it passage after
ironing out of differences over the
method of expending the $100,000,000
provided for new construction out
side of the District of Columbia. The
new difficulty arose out of the ques-
tion of whether the $15,OOOOO0 pro-
posed for completing buildings al
ready authorized is to be made avail
able Immediately or extended over a
period of years at the discretion of
the treasury department
Senator Jones, democrat, New Mex
ico and others insisted that the
money should be made available i'm
mediately and after series of con-
ferences leaders on both sides agreed
to get together tomorrow before the
senate meets in an effort to reach a
compromise.
Senators on both sides of the cham
ber expressed desire to get action on
the bill without a filibuster and the
upshot was an unanimous consent
agreement whereby beginning tomor-
measure until final action is taken.
This would shut out discussions of
prohibition or other subjects such as
engaged the senate today for three
hours.
From the first there has been an
insistent demand from the democrats,
to which republicans have yielded
that Secretary Mellon by shorn of
much of the discretionary power con-
ferred upon him by the house meas
ure This demand was translated in
to another amendment today by Sem
ator Jones' of New Mexico, under
which the treasury secretary would
be directed" to complete certain
specified buildings authorized before
the war or since. Senator Jones
omitted buildings in a score of states
which had been authorized and this
led to a general debate during which
dozen or more senators whose
states were excluded bombarded the
New Mexico senator with questions
without regard to the rules Of pro-
cedure usually governing in debate.
So intense did the discussion be-
come soon half the senate was gath
cred in the center aisle with the Of
ficial reporters darting among them
in an effort to keep up with ex-
changes carried on in conversational
tones. Senator Bingham, republican,
Connecticut, who was presiding fl
nally ordered all senators to their
seats and from that time on spec
tators in the galleries could gather
soma idea of what the discussion was
about.

WARM DEb1lE
IN SENATE BY
VETS VS. DRYS
lBy Dispatch A. P. wirel

WASHINGTON, May A.
Prohibitionists and anti
prohibitionists flayed each
other again today in the
senate as pending legisla~
ton was shunted to one
side for discussion that took
up three hours and ended
about where it began. The
debate was all on the demo-
cratic side of the chamber
and before it ended, nearly
all of the seats on the re-
publican side had been va
Gated along with many on
the minority side.
Senators Ferris of Michigan and
Sheppard of Texas led the assault for
the drys, while Senator Bruce of
Maryland replied with speech in
which he urged the country to ex-
tricate itself from the jungle of
prohibition and get out once more on
the high road that leads to temper
ance.' Senator Ferris assailed both
the vets and the drys; the former
for seeking to break down the Vol
stead act and the latter for laying
down on their job of educating the
country against alcohol as a beverage
after that law went into effect. SEN
ator Sheppard contented himself with
reading testimonials for prohibition
from educators and employers over
the country and censuring those who
would divert alcohol from the thou
sand and one" uses to which it is
put in industry and convert it into a
beverage in defiance of the law.
Declaring the Volstead act to be
an utterly impracticable and vision
ary law" Senator Bruce said Senator
Sheppard, in bringing in hundred
testimonials from employers and 9TH
ers, reminded him of child grabbing
a handful of dirt and exclaiming,
"See, I hold the world in my palm. =
In conclusion, the Maryland senator
predicted that it would not be long
before "not only will the Volstead
act be modified but the constitution
