MARKET IS DULL
AND LOWER
BY w. C. COUSINS
International News Service

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Stock prices
declined slightly lower in an irregu-
lar and featureless short session of
the stock market today. Trading
was confined to a few of the specu-
lative leaders, the absence Of out
side interest being due in part to
the proximity of the holiday. Tues
day, and the continued unsettlement
Of the American cotton situation.
Though Government agencies and
the bankers of the nation have
pledged their full cooperation to
prevent dumping cotton on the
market at ruinous prices. there was
considerable selling pressure on
cotton futures. particularly from the
Southern points, and cotton was
therefore, unable to rally.
The downward movement or stock
prices gained momentum in the
second hour, the widest decline
being in the high-priced industrial
and speciality stocks. Coca Cola
was under pressure and declined
to 148 for a 6 point loss. Steel
Common and General Motors. recog-
nized leaders in the last two i'm
portant bull movements. sold off
more than 2 points.
The reactionary trend in United
States Steel was due to market
disappointment over Judge Gary's
failure to suggest any prospect of
a special dividend
This weakness encouraged liberal
selling of other industrial stocks,
like American Can, Baldwin, Wool
worth and Dupont by the profess
sional bears, as the result of which
numerous 2 to APPOINT lossea were
recorded, stocks were more easily
dislodged in the second hour, par
ticularly those which led the rally
Thursday and Friday.
A slight rally by the Standard and
independent oil stocks followed the
reports Of obvious decline in crude
oil production and the continuance
Of firm prices for gasoline and other
oil products. The oils were inactive
rather than reactionary during the
heavy selling movement in the
second hour and prices held steady.
The rails were unusually inactive,
being unable to follow up their early
advances into slightly higher price
territory.

Poincare Cabinet In
Split, Kills Plan to
Ratify Debt Accords

PARIS, Aug. 6. The sterilization
of the franc is still obscure and no
credits can be expected as a result
of the split in Poincare's cabinet
yesterday when he tried to get an
agreement to present measures for
ratification of the London and Wash
ington debt accords to the chamber.
Three cabinet members, Marin,
Herriot and Tardieu, revolted and
threatened to quit. Poincare, backed
by BRAND and Painleve, tried to whip
the rebels into line. Poincare pointed
out that sterilization without credits
was impossible, and that credits could
be obtained only by ratification.
The loan from Holland, Poincare
declared, was not enough to secure
sterilization without more from Lon
don. The ratification with reserva-
tons of the Mellon-B erenger pact
would have helped, Now this
is killed. The loan from Holland was,
moreover, known to have come in
directly from the United States, dodg-
ing the embargo by indirection.
In the chamber today, Poincare will
ask that the chamber muzzle itself
md give vote of confidence on every
measure, including the authorization
to the Bank Of France to issue unlimit-
ed notes supposedly secured by pur-
chase of foreign currency, and a ma
tional tobacco corporation.

unions, for a brief period, it is true,
and under the terrible handicap of
conscious sabotage from within and
above. assuming the powers British
workers have been taught for genera
tons to believe could be exercised
only by constitutional government"
thru parliament and officials elected
by all strata of society.
british workers have seen the
- king and his ministers able only
to publish one single miserable Stand
er sheet because workers refused to
get out the usual organs OF the cap
italist class. The trade unions them
selves had an organ of their own. In
this the unions were at the worst on
an equal footing with the ruling class.
British workers have seen the trade
unions with hardly more than half
their full strength modified, paralyze
industry and the government appar-
atus.
TNHE trade union movement in Great
= Britain is broad movement.
1t has its labor party and its CO.
operatives. The Committees Of Action
did not have to go outside these three
sections of the organization to en-
brace representatives of the whole
working class. Thus 1t was that the
British trade union movement made
its challenge to British capitalism
without new forms Of working class
apparatus making their appearance.
THE Committees of Action were
- never popular with the official
leadership. Their organization was
sabotaged but in spite of that trades
councils themselves became commit
tees of action. The slogan raised BY
the Communists OF "all power to the
general council" in its local applica,
ton became "all power to the trades
councils" or "all power to the commit.
tees Of action" Nowhere does it ap-
pear that any objection of these slo.
gans came from the masses and this
in spite of the fact that the general
council did not use the power It had
and which the masses wanted It to
use.
WE must conclude then that the
W British trade union movement Is
capable of development as an organ
Of revolutionary struggle and that It
has already given concrete evidence
of this development in its splendid or
ganization and discipline and its as
sumption Of state power in opposition
to the state power of the capitalist
class.
That this was done against the will
Of a leadership part of which entered
the struggle with the deliberate in
tention of throttling it, another part
condoning and participating in this
betrayal in cowardly manner, is still
stronger proof Of the soundness of the
British trade union masses and of
their trade unions as a combination
OF combat and state organs.

Is, (only one month after the con
clusion Of the general strike) said:
As a consequence of it's whole
history, as result Of the tremend-
GUS Importance of it's Trade Union
organization, and on account Of it's
historic traditions, the English prof.
etarlat did not take up the question
of power by circumVentlne the
Trade UnIons but thru the Trade
Unions themselves 80. When we
put the question, what are tho spe-
ciflc and peculiar features Of the
English labor movement, then we
must draw the conclusions which at
the Same time constitute one Of the
greatest lessons of the English gen
eraI strike, |. E. THAT THE ENG
LlSH WORKING CLASS WILL APP
PRoACH THE QUESTION OF
POWER THRU THE TRADE UN-
IONS. Emphasis Mine).
MTHAT this means is not that the
W English trade unions will take the
place Of Soyiets but that THEY Be
COME SOVIETS during the course of
the struggle for power.
The establishment Of this fact raises
Immediately practical question reIa-
tive to the attitude OF the capitalists
toward the trade unions in advanced
Industrial countries like Britain and
America where the trade unions have
preceded powerful working class pol
ltical parties and where, therefore, the
trade unions either have more In
duence over the working class than
the labor party has, as in Britain, or
where, as In America, they are the
only mass expression Of the working
class.
COMMUNISTS have pointed out
~ constantly that the trade unions,
in addition to being organs of strug,
gle for the daily needs Of the workers,
become ra1lying centers for the whole
working class during the struggle for
power.
In addition to this role Of the trade
unions we now have the concrete ex-
ample OF the British trade unions act,
ing as ORGANS OF WORKING
CLASS STATE POWER, appearing as
the basic units of the revolutionary
state--the embryonic units Of the prob
etarian Dictatorship.
WE may be sure that this aIl-fm-
W portant fact has not escaped the
attention Of the advisers Of capitalism.
In America this will mean that in ad-
dition to their hostility to trade unions
as a means of raising the living stand
ards Of the workers and interfering
with the steady flow of their profits,
the capitalists have an additional
reason for trying to debauch and des-
troy the trade unions.
Just as the tremendous inspirational
influence Of the Russian revolution
urged the capitalist class of America
to renewed efforts to discredit even
the idea of social-revolution, SO now
will the tremendous role of the Brit
ish trade unions act as spur for
renewed activity against trade unions
as organs of the class struggle.
