NEW YORK, Oct 7.-Another
wave of selling struck the stock
market today as result of devel-
opment in the afternoon of a firmer
tone in money rates. Banks made
large Withdrawals to adjust balances
at the Federal Reserve Bank, but
funds were in fairly good supply.
The early part of the session had
seen further gains in many issues,
but nervousness was evident after
the first hour as a result of the huge
increase in brokerage loans at this
center.
Volatile issues like Houston Oil
broke sharply. Selling also struck
General Motors issues and even
General Electric was depressed with
the general market. Attention was
again attracted to Manhattan Elec-
trical Supply, which dropped sew
eral points.
Railroads went down with other
groups and so did mercantile issues
and steels. Phillips Petroleum ran
against the trend with a point gain.
Park & Tilford, Texas Gulf Sulphur,
Mack, International Match pre-
ferred and Abitibi Power were
among strong issues on the upside.
Unsettled at Noon
Stocks we're unsettled again
around noon by the calling of about
$10,000,000 in loans by the banks to
strengthen their position at the
Federal Reserve Bank. These with
draWals encouraged the bear crowd
to make another drive on the prin-
cipal industrials.
Heaviness in these leaders held
bullish activities in restraint and
the market as a whole displayed a
sluggish tone. United States Rub
Der was under special pressure fol-
lowing publication of Providence adj
vices that the earnings for the COM
mon stock in the first nine months
of 1927 were II cents share,
against SAL in the 1926 period.

In the Sugar Market
(By Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK. Oct. THE belief is gain
law Is really constructive Although 1t has
settled nothing definitely for the moment.
The fact is that President Machado now
has authority to restrict next years crop
and as he has been one of the principal
advocates of this method of control. 1t is
fair assumption that he viii take affirm
alive action. Cuban holders are not in
clined to press their supplies for sale in
asmuch as the market at present is not in
q receptive mood and there is more chance
of obtaining better prices later. This is a
logical procedure and a similar one should
be followed in relation to futures.

: China by Maill (FPl


HANKOW, China (By MaiD (FP) J..
The 4th annual congress of the
Federation of Labor met
in vast hall crowded to the gallery
roof with 361 delegates and nearly
1000 onloolcrs, many Of whom had
waited hours before the speaking
began. Even these general admis-
sions were by ticket only Many
persons of my acquaintance wished
to go but could not The spectacle
was a tribute to the wide interest
taken in China's labor movement now
meeting in Hankow in the midst of a
national revolution.
During these times Of upheaval I
had expected to find delegates more
or less handpicked by secret sessions
of executive committees, or even
designated from a distance to repre-
sent the unions in the territory now
under suppression. I questioned many
delegates, notably a group of women
from Shanghai, and found that they
had been duly elected by district
meetings of delegates from the vari-
Gus local unions.
Actual Workers
Most of the delegates seem actual
workers from the shop. Thus of the
10 women delegates from Shanghai,
2 were students who had gone to work
in the labor movement while the
other 8 were spinners or weavers
working ~ to 16 hours daily at the
job in factories, and deprived even of
the time to learn reading and writing.
China's federation of labor claims
100000 members. They had over
100000 until the recent suppress
sions in Shanghai and Canton by
Gen. Chang Kai-shek who has been
killing hundreds of labor men on the
pretext that they are Communists. i"

Delegates to the congress are
mainly elected by districts, not by
large national unions as in the United
States. The Chinese regard their
present form as transitional, since
they have very few unions which yet
function on a national scale. The
seamen, railway workers and postal
workers are all national and send
delegates through their national or

unions are still in the stage where
scores of small local unions have

WASHINGTON, (FP) July o.
Fifty wars and campaigns since the
Civil War is the record Of the United
States army, according to the vet
Grams bureau. Suppression Of the In
dians, Cubnns, Porto Ricans, Mexi-
cans and Filipinos has been the
ermy's main job, leaving to the mar
ines the policing of the Caribbean
and the Orient.
Thirty-four expeditions were
needed between 1850 and 1898 to con-
vince the Indians that they had no
right to their lands. Since the Span
ish war, army efforts have been
directed more to subjecting peoples
outside continental territory to Amer
lean rule.
The job of Cuban occupation and
the determination Of the independ-
ence bands in the hills lasted from
1893 to 1902, but we were back
"paeifying" the Cubans again in
10000 The campaign against the
Porto Ricans was short and decisive,
ending IN 1873. But in 1905 it was
necessary to pour more shot and shell
into them.
The Filipinos have been particularly
unsatisfactory subjects Their war
for independence, drowned finally in
blood in 1902, lasted three years. But
in 1902-03 the Moros rose. Again in
1so3-05 the independence forces re-
quired the attention of the soldiery.
In l906-o7 another campaign was
needed, and again in 19O9-13 and in
1914. Fourteen different engage
ments were fought with the Mexicans
on the border between 1853.
Since the world war the army has
been rather inactive, yielding the po-
Icing work to the marines.
