TAXI STRIKERS
DENOUNCE FAKE
LABOR LEADERS
Accuse Them of Selling
Out to Bosses
BY JAMES J. LACEY
worker Correspondent

BOSTON, Mass, January 24-At a
meeting called originally to protest
against the frame-up OF seven taxi
strikers, the strikers themselves took
the floor and denounced the leader.
ship of the Central Labor Union
whom they accused of selling out the
strike.
The attempted frame-up failed,
thanks to the activity of the local In
ternational Labor Defense Commit
tee, but the seven men are still facing
contempt charges arising out of the
alleged violation of the injunction. In
addition to this there are % other
court cases due to police persecution.
Meet Them With Mass Action.
AL Shaap, who has been active in
the strike, outlined the situation
facing the strikers. He told them that
mass action is the only answer to
court injunctions. The arrests were
based on fiimsy evidence, and were
made merely to demoralize the ranks
of the strikers.
The recording secretary of the
union, Brother Mccarthy, gave a
graphic recital of the conditions the
men faced before the strike. He told
the men that he would take chance"
on going to jail, and then opened up
on the labor leaders" John J. Kear-
ney, president of the Central Labor
Union is also president Of the Hotel
and Restaurant Workers Union.
Every Monday for the past six weeks
he has been broadcasting attacks on
the reds" over the radio. Although
his hands are not tied by the injunc-
ton m all this time, he has not said
a word about the strike. In addition
to pleading with taxi strikers to re-
turn to work, in his own union he
ordered back the cooks and walters Of
the Copley Plaza Hotel, who were on
strike four hours, because Of scabs
on the cab stand in front of the hotel.
Takers on Strike Payroll.
Brother Williams, chairman of the
strikers finance committee, told that
he found G. L. U. fakirs on the
strikers payroll. This attempt to raid
the treasury, and deplete the strike
funds was nipped in the bud. Pointing
out Kearney's brother-in-law in the
audience, he gave him the story to go
back with. He accused the c. L. u.
of failing the strikers utterly-less
than three thousand dollars was
raised from the whole Boston labor
movement, many of the unions taking
a neutral" position.
He described how the esteemed la
Dor leaders, Mr.. James T. Moriarty,
head of the Sheet Metal Workers
Union, now member of the Boston
city council, Frank Fenton, of the
Transfers and Chauffeurs' Union,
and Kearney-had come down to the
strike meeting and tried to induce the
men to return to work.

were minus leaders. They sent to

FOREIGN BOND LIST

Success of S10,0O0,000
Hamburg Issue Is Felt in

NEW YORK. october 6.-The OUT.
standing feature of the day in bonds
was the success of the new $40 900 900
state of Hamburg loan. Offered at .
91s. to yield over 6.75 per cent. the
lowest basis yet on any new German
municipal. the bonds went to a pre-.
MUM In the outside market as soon
as trading was begun. The effect upo2
the older listed German bonds was i'm
mediate. A buying movement which
carried many of them to new highs
overshadowed all other developments
on the exchange. City of Berlin 61as
were rushed up to 81 from 96. which
was the previous best price recorded
yesterday. Bavaria 615s, Dresden Is
and Cologne 61as, all made striking
gains.
The rest of the foreign list was in.
fluenced favorably by the strength
in the German group. Some of the
French railway bonds were in vigor-
Gus demand. among them Paris, Lyon
and Mediterranean rs, which crossed
go, against the preceding close of S911.
The same road 6s improved to a less
degree. French government obliga-
tions did better and so did the French
Cities 6s. Poland 6s, on the other
hand, yielded.
Domestic railway bonds of the cir
culative class were irregular. The
favorites seemed to be Erie convert
ible B. As, which were bought on the
conversion privilege. Other Erie
bonds We're helped slightly. but were
not so active.
st. Louis-San Francisco income 6s
were just steady. notwithstanding the
continuously improving earning out
look. Chicago and Eastern Illinois 5s
attracted attention by their firmness.
Gross revenues and operating income
for this road for August were the
largest since 1921, while the bonds.

larger yield than almost any other
issue in their group. Delaware &
Hudson convertible 5s We're up Il
point at one time and Norfolk South
ern 5s gained half a point.
High-grade investment issues were
dull. Changes were confined to small
fractions and about equally divided be-
tween advances and declines. There
was more than the usual activity In
New York Central and in Southern

Local fractions were mostly heavy
Third Avenue adjustments and New

pressure. Eastern Cuba Suger 71as

BEARS AGAIN WIN
IN STOCK MARKET
Professional Traders Battle
for Control, With Short
Side Favored.
BY STUART r. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, October 6.-On the
Stock Exchange today there was plen-
ty of evidence of professional opera
tors working at cross purposes. The
buying side held the advantage for
an hour or more. Then the selling
side got the upper hand. In the later
trading the price movement became
extremely irregular, with the party
working for a rise concentrating on
General Motors and a few other
stocks.
One thing was certain and that was
that while prices rallied sharply at
the outset they came Off very easily
later on. L. S. Steel went up points
in response to Judge Garys statement
that untitled orders for September
would show an increase. whereas Wall
Street had anticipated a decrease.
Atchison rebounded from yesterdays
close of l49s4 to above ISL, but in a
half hour lost more than all its gains.
The same was true of Chesapeake and
Ohio, which rose over two points. but
came down the same amount in quick
order
The strongest Of the Van Sweringen
stocks was Erie first preferred, which
crossed so for the first time this
year. Two reasons were advanced.
one that under a remodeled merger
plan holders Of the Erie firsts might
do better, the other that the stock
mon got above 38, as against the
previous close Of 36%, but both classes
Of stock yielded when the general
market became reactionary.
American Smelling, after it's disap-
pointing action on the increase in the
dividends, did better for q time. and
so did Kennecott. But in the later
trading the copper and smelling issues
followed the course OF the main body.
One Of the features was the violent
break in certain industrial specialties.
Manhattan Electrical Supply had a
sheer drop of more than Z points.
Continental Baking A. on top OF a
smash Of nearly 8 points. had a fur
ther fall. Mack Trucks, getting ready
for a poor earnings statement, sank
below par on the first occasion IN
1925, These declines were the result
Of a withdrawal Of supporting orders
and a certain amount OF forced
LQuidations induced by the severe
price depreciations. Manhattan Elec-
trical Supply was off 10 points or
more on top of yesterdays S-point
drop. This is the sort OF thing that
occurs when the market Is In the
process Of housecleaning after the
speculative campaign, which involved
excesses in a good many quarters.
Mack Trucks encountered support
at its low figures and this. along with
a short covering, brought about a
rally. General Motors showed the ef.
feet of reinforced buying power and
Wall street was not slow to guess
where this came from. Oil shares,
like Texas Co. and Phillips Petroleum,
were sluggish. Some Of the railway
equipment issues were strong, espe-
cially Baldwin and American Loco
motive. These stocks on the pre-
vious days had demonstrated their
ability to rebound easily whenever
