Thus Ruthenberg, the Communist, courageously set
forth the theories and practices that the leaders Of the
socialist party had turned their backs during the
whole history o the American socialist movement. This
was the program of greater American working class
struggle in harmony with the triumphant Bolshevlk
revolution It is the program that American labor will
adopt to achieve its own victory,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-03-04

Out of seconds,--tiny bits of Time,
Centuries arise in awe in lgrace.
But who's TO count the years Of One who chimes
With Liveliness in Life whatever there's to facet
Not Yet let Times chsel eat the bone and flesh away
The Years remain carvings in the air.
My Song of Life and Love and Of their mighty sway
To those erect,-to those who dare.

That view had

TRADING QU|ETER 4
IN BOND MARKET
Firmer Call Money Rate Has
Some Effect-RaiIs
Again Are Leaders.
BY CHARLES r. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April S.-The slightly
firmer renewal rate for money today
had a moderate effect on high grade
bonds and on Government issues.
These were all quieter and inclined TO
hesitate after the long price advance,
inasmuch as the current return on
some of this class is now below The
money rate.
Speculative bonds. however, were
not so affected. They kept on ad-
vancing into new high ground. The
prominent issues in this group were
Denver & Rio Grande Western SIS,
Chicago & Alton 31zs, Western
Maryland As and Erie convertible
"Ds." About $2,000.000 Of the last
named have been converted on the re-
cent advance from par.
Some of the short term railroad
bonds like Rock Island refunding As,
were at their best of the year. Den
yer Improvement 5s, due 1928, for
the first time crossed par.
Although there were a number Of
sickly-looking industrial stock sitG-
ations today. there was only one group
Of bonds which reflected this condi,
tion. Armour Of Delaware 51as, hav-
ing recovered within the last few
days from 90 to 93%. broke again
quite sharply, and Armour first AIS.
which held up in the earlier attack on
this company's securities, declined Il
The Wilson 6s, however, held steady,
and so did Dodge 6s in spite OF pres
sure against the Dodge shares.
In the last few days there has been
better demand for high-grade public
utility bonds. Comparing public
utilities that are legal in Massachu-
setts and in other New England States
with rail bonds legal in New York
State, a wide price discrepancy Is
found. Many Of the latter carrying
5 per cent coupons are quoted be.
tween 103 and 110 and per cent rails
that are not even legal are selling
at premiums six to eight points over
par.
In the public utility 8 per cent
group, however, the range is between
103 and los for bonds OF companies
Of equivalent credit in their field TO
the best of the transportation lines.
One of the movements in the invest
ment market in the next few months
will probably be a narrowing of the
present margin of price and return
between these two bond groups.
The foreign government depart.
ment of the market was again quiet
with prices very little changed, but
the tone steady. Now that the Jugo'
slav loan has been offered and taken
there is intense interest in the com
petitive bidding for other European
loans, especially that to Poland.
