which it sold off two points. Gen
eral Motors, General Electric, Allied
chemical, American Smelling, Rock
Island and New York Central made
sharp early gains, only to sag before
the end of the day.
International combustion engineer
ing spurted more than 2 points,
while White Motors made similar
advance. International Telephone

while Rock Island lost more than a
point and New York Central held
steady.
Money Tight
Describing the market, the Wall
I Street Journals financial review
said:
Heavy selling of stocks was occa-
stoned at the start of the week by
Tightening of money, incident to
the mid-month settlements. Banks
called approximately $20,000,000 in
preparation for Government finan-
cling, tax payments and Sept. Is
dividends and interest disburse-
ments.
These Withdrawals were reflected
in a firmer tone in credit rates.
After standing loans had been re-
newed at 4 per cent, call money
advanced to Az per cent, the high
est charge for speculative accommo-
dations since Aug. @ Time funds
also displayed a sitter tendency.
Borrowing from so to 80 days du-
ration were quoted at 4 to 41s per
cent, against 3% to 4 per cent re-
Gently in effect.
Weekend Orders
Developments in the money mar
ket caused the main body of stocks
to turn downward after an early
burst of strength. Large buying
orders accumulated over the week
end, due to the optimism regarding
business conditions created by the
increase of $4,000 tons in United
States steel forward orders.
Publication of this statement aft
er Saturdays close attracted de-
mand for standard stocks from
widespread interior points.
After the early buying wave had
run its course, the general list
turned irregular. Profit-taking and
short selling grew in volume stimuli
taneously with the firming up of
the call rate. Substantial declines
from their recent highs took place
in the speculative leaders, and the
afternoon trading was marked by
heavy tone.

THEATER OFFICIAL
HITS PRODUCERS
Screen Monopoly Charged
in Appeal Letter.

Frank J. Rembusch, president of
Motion Picture Theater Oowners of
Indiana, today charged that "des-
potic unwair dealings of the Motion
Picture Producers and Distributors
Of America to gain control of the
picture industry" are in violation of
the Federal antitrust laws.
Rembusch, who is leading cru
sade against "block booking put
in effect by the VIII Hays regime,
made the charges that the Govern
ment acquiesced to the picture mo-
nopoly" ma letter to Attorney Gen
eral Sargent, making a final appeal
for relief. Rembusch does not repre-
sent all theater owners.
Support of the bill Of Representa-
tive Fabius Gwin, in the House of
Representatives, providing penalty
for ''block booking" and abolishing
the arbitration system, was urged
by Rembusch as blow to tn alleged
monopoly.
Charges that politics interfered
with the Department of Justice in
vestigation of the film industry were
made in the Rembusch letter.
"There is no way to the screen
except through the Hoys organi-
zation," the letter stated.

REPUBLICANS
SUBSTITUTE
REPEAL BILL
Absent Voters Measure of
Democrats Replaced by
Like Plan of G. 0.P.

Fearing that the Democrats would
steal their thunder" by having
names of two Democratic House
members, Edward Bender and VIII
liam Dentlinger, attached to the bill
providing for complete repeal of the
absent voter law, Republican Sena-
tors rushed through today a similar
bill bearing the name of Senator Del
bert V. Blackburn Rep)., Evansville.
The Democratic measure had
passed the House and was up for
third reading as a special order of
business for this afternoon. It's con-
sideration was delayed so the Black
burn bill could be passed first. This
will mean that the Republican bill
must go back to the House for ap-
proval, but the delay was deemed
advisable, so the G.. o. P. might reap
whatever glory is attached to repeal
ing the absent voter law.
Absent voter repeal had been pro-
vided for in the platform of both
parties. Only Senator Oliver Kline
Rep), Huntington, raised his voice
against it. Senator James J. Nejdl,
Whiting, majority floor leader, said
that the absent voter privilege had
not been abused in Lake County,
but that the bill should pass, as
pledged by the party platform.
