BY B. 9. FORBES

Guessing what the stock market

the country. The guessing Is
backed up day after day with
purchases well exceeding hair d

markets Alone-Which means, 0f
course, that the sales also well
exceeding half billion dollars
daily. Monte Carlo would not do.
as much business in its busiest
season as is being done every day
in Americas stock markets.
Most OF the guegses so far have
been that stocks will continue to
soar. UnquestionAbly there are q
much greater number OF buyers
than sellers each day. But, equally
unquestionably, the sellers are. on
the average, men of much greater

Abnormal Expansion
The abnormal expansion lately

have been selling their holdings on
q large scale and that many OF the
purchasers are buying on margins
compelling brokers to borrow funds
to carry the stocks.
Many high.grade stock exchange
firms are sending warnings to Gus.
toners that speculation has be-
come extremely risky and urging
them to keep commitments down
well within their means. In other
words, margin buyers are cautioned
to be prepared to meet additional
heavy calls IL such become H1eces-

Since the Hoover election specu-
latiOn has ragged Ia volume never

calmly examine the net results,
you discover that. notwithstanding
all the sound and fury created by
the bulls, quotations have had a.
habit OF slipping back as well a.
forward. Not d few days have
ended with net losses. not gains.
Don't imagine for g moment,
however. that nuItimillionaire

Needle Trade Members
of Workers Party Meet

Leading needle trades members of
the Workers (Communist) Party
will meet today at 8 p. m, at
the Workers Center, 1928 Ur,ion
Square, to discuss the activities of
the Needle Trades Campaign Com
mittee among the workers in the
trade.
The Importance of this meeting
was stressed by Rebecca Grecht last
night, who emphasized the "splen-
did opportunities for the carrying on
of the Red Election campaign among
the needle trades workers this year.
The complete divorce Of needle
trades workers from capitalist par
ties, occasioned by the ruthless in
functions of Tammany and repub-
lican judges, is accompanied with
the realization Of the anti-labor role
played by the socialist party in it's
alliance with the small business man
and its use Of the strong-arm meth
DDS 20 discourage militancy in the
unions"
The m ee ting tonight will
consider ways and means Of best
carrying on the campaign among
the needle trades workers, and
should be attended by every needle
trades member Of the Party.

RIALIST
Meet Is PLANNED
Will Open Membership
Campaign

The combined membership and
mass meeting of the New York
Branch of the All-America Anti
Imperialist League. which will be
held at the Labor Temple. 242 14th
ST., Room AZ and A, Wednesday,
Sept. 26, at s p. M, will signal the
opening of membership drive of
the New York Branch of the
League. All the friends and SYM
pathizers of the All-America Anti
Imperialist League are invited to
be present.
The war danger. the signing of
the Kellogg Pact while preparations
for the next war are being speeded
up; the growing conflict between
the United States and British i'm
perialism; the necessity for organi-
cation among the working class to
struggle against wage-cuts, rational
ization, and unemployment, intensi-
fled by the rapid growth of Ameri-
can Imperialism; the necessity for
solidarity between the workers of
powers and the op-
pressed masses. of colonial and semi
colonial countries-these are some of
the questions which will be taken up
at the meeting.
Harriet Silverman, Secretary of
the New York Branch of the League
will preside. Harry Cannes, acting
Secretary of the United States Sec
ton of the League, and Robert
Dunn, author of American Foreign
Investments, will be the principal
speakers. Discussions from the
floor will be in order. All the af-
filiated organizations-labor unions,
women's organizations, clubs, frater-
nal and liberal organizations are
urged to circularize their members
and insist on their presence at this
meeting.

ON IN ROSARIO
Police Attacks on the
Strikers Reported

ROSARIO, Argentina, Sept. 90
Police guards at the leading plants
have been strengthened and large
patrols are distributed throughout
the city, as the strikers remain out
and all workers are ready to walk
cut on the general strike today,
called by the Federation of Trade
Unions.
Police attacks upon groups of
strikers are reported in various
parts of the city, as the public utili-
ties service is at a standstill and
communications severed.
All workers here have decided to
maintain their demand for higher
wages and better working condi-
tons and the hiring of only union
workers. They also demand that
fired Communists and anarchist
workers be returned to their jobs

NORFOLK LABOR
CHEERS NEARING
Appeals for Support of
Workers Party

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 19.-Scott
Nearing, Communist candidate for
governor of New Jersey, was re-
ceived enthusiastically by the work
ers of Norfolk, Va, at his meeting
there. Nearing pointed out that the
campaign funds of the two major
parties were enormous, since the big
capitalists consider a contribution a
good investment.
"There is no difference in either
the source of the funds or the plat
forms of these two old and corrupt
political tools of the ruling class"
said Nearing. "The business man
will vote for one or the other ac-
cording to his personal prejudices,
but it makes absolutely no differ
ence to the worker which one wins.
and the worker should support the
only party of the working class.
the Workers (Communist) Party"
Appeals for Support.
Nearing made an effective appeal
for financial support to carry the
message of the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party to workers thruout the
country, by means of the speakers
who are on tour and the circulari-
zation of the Communist platform
to thousands of workers whose ideas
of Communism are distorted by
capitalist propaganda.
Nearing spoke Saturday in Char
lesion and today in Jacksonville. He
will continue his tour to all the prin-
cipal cities of the south during Sep
TENDER and October.

AS the day of the Red Rally
draws nearer every day reveals
fresh proof of the character of both
republican and democratic candi-
dates. The eulogistic comment
made by John L. Lewis, president of
the largely non-existent United
Mine Workers, on Hoover's fanciful
speech, aimed to befuddle workers,
is evidence Of the sort of "1abor

PAINTER BREAKS
BACK AT WORK,
NO AID Fer HIM
Law Is Not Enforced
Anyway
(By a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Calf, (By
Mall Every California employer
within the provisions of the Work
mems Compensation Act must carry
insurance for the protection of his
workers.
The law is hard-boiled about it,
too. 1t reads that any employer
who violates it may be punished by
a $500 fine, six months in jail or
both.
But, fine as it seems to be, the
law might just as we'll not be in the
statute books, so far as E. Winfrey,
3 local painter is concerned. AS the
result of fall from a ladder, in
which his back was broken three
year ago, Winfrey is still dragging
around, very sick man. But the
accident insurance that should be
coming to him, $500, he will never
be able to collect. Why? Because
the law Slipped up" the law was
not enforced either by the state in
dustrial accident commission or anv
other agency.
Even one Of the liberal papers
here was driven to comment on the
case as follows:
"If the law had been enforced,
Joe Rose, painting contractor, who
employed Winfrey, in 1925, would
have been in position to pay the
award made by the industrial acct
dent commission. He would have
been carrying insurance for Win
frey. As it was Rose paid S53 and
quit"
"Winfrey says, Rose has no
property at least in his own name
and his contract jobs are so obscure
that they cannot be traced.
Rose has told the authorities that
he has six children to support, Win
frey said, and they take his word for
it; but what about my children? 1
have three of them that the county
is supporting"
Another painter, friend Of mine
became a victim of this same law
couple of years back. He was
seriously injured for life, but unable
to collect cent, mainly because his
boss did not carry insurance.

Tucker Girl" at the Casino
Thedtey Is Quite Amusing

THE Messrs. Shubert, old hands at
getting an innocent laugh or two
out of dainty and slightly risque
spectacles are up to their usual
tricks in "Luckee Girl" now at the
Casino. The musical comedy known
in French as "Un Bon Garcon" in
honor of what is by all odds the
star performer, the fat and cunning
Hercules Richelieu, is done into Eng
fish by Gertrude Purcell, and played
under the cigarette advertisement
title above mentioned.
Hercules (sung by Billy House,
is a waiter at "Coco's" (you see the
regular girl-show plot developing).
He insists that he is direct lneal
descendent Of the great cardinal, and
explains the apparent discrepancy
with the VOWS that accompany holy
orders by saying that the cardinal
Joined the Yanks one season" Be-
tween his harmless and kind hearted
intrigue he sings twice, with enthusi-
astic zest the hit of the show, "Come
on, let's, make Whoopie." So you
see already what kind of show it
is, and there is little more to be said.
The costuming is, if not quite as
old as the noble Hercules monastic
ancestor, at least as ancient as the
Prince of Pilsen. But the songs and
the dances seem new, the tunes are
snappy, the composers have forgot
ten that jazz is supposed to be 60
ing out of fashion, and to the pres
ent writer at least appear to have
added something to that species of
music.
Facts of Life" by Doris Vinton,
as Camille, is a quaint little song,
with a modernistic twist; some of
the verses have to be slurred over
a little on account of possible cen
sorship. Chiffon" is an appeal for
shorter and better step-ins, or what
ever it is that they wear nowadays.
Doris Vinton and Irene Dunno las
Arletter, a Midinette) chant this
happy tune with considerable spirit.
Like all musical shows, the dane
ing is the life of it, and in this case
the technique followed is to make
lovely girls act as much like jump
ing frogs as possible. The incon-
gruity thus developed lays the
foundation for peals of laughter, as
any psychologist will tell you. Your
critic is informed that no real thrill |
in the audience is possible without |
the presence of an element of danger
and if this is so, the imminent pos
sibility of dislocated joints provides
the show with good chance to get
by. In the last act two heroically |

a girl who has more pSwder on her
than you could well imagine would
stick there. Some day she will get
a fractured skull, but while she lasts
it is worth seeing.
Well, it's the usual thing, except
for a couple of new tunes, and Her
cules and the dancing. But it's
pretty-and so far as l can see has
no political angle whatever, aside
from the reputed geneology of Her

ORR, SOCIALIST,
LLSP0LICE AID
Four Workers Arrested
in Melee; Released
by a Worker Correspondent

wy 70 " W heT COTTSSpOTbueHJ/
At the intersection of Intervale
and Wilkins AYES, recently, the So
cialists held an election campaign
rally. When the meeting started a
good-sized crowd had gathered to
hear Samuel Orr, the principal
speaker, who is that party's choice
for assemblyman in that district
Mr.. Orr, satisfied with his audience,
began to discourse on prohibition
and labor.
Workers Jeer Speaker.
Among the listeners were a good
many furriers and cloakmakers who
were permitted to ask questions with
the assurance that they would be
answered toward the end of the adj
dress. The hour grew late. The
crowd became restless. The prom
ised answers were not Forthcoming
So the workers began to jeer and
ridicule the speaker, who, realizing
that nobody was listening, decided
to conclude his lecture by announc-
ing the New Leader. At this juno
ture one of the workers stepped from
among the crowd and began to
speak. Orr, beside himself with rage
at the reception given his impotent
harangue, turned his back to the
workers, muttering an implied i'm
precation as he did so.
Melee Threatens.
At this point of the evenings
meeting the workers growing impa-
thence gave way to obstreperous ex-
element. Shouts arose from the in
dignant crowd. Orr was angrily as
sailed with barrage of taunts and
interlocutive jibes. "Who broke the
and furriers' union 2"
"Who put out injunctions against
the workers." were some of the
war cries from the workers ranks
Disorder threatened and it seemed
as if melee was imminent.
Police Summoned.
Orr, fearing for his persona
safety, ordered somebody to call the
police but nobody noticed him.
When, finally, he did summon the
police to come to his rescue, the
workers ran onto the platform anf
threw him off, tearing the socialist
sign on the speakers dais at the
same time. Shortly after his un-
ceremonious removal the police ar
rived and arrested four workers
who were later released.
With the police guarding him, Orr
again mounted the platform and be-
gan to talk, saying, "This is not
Russia where there is no free speech
and the right of assemblage. Ir
this country, we have freedom of
speech and anybody who disagrees
with me can get a soap box and
make his own meeting"
The meeting broke up in disorder
with booing from the Young Pion-
GERS against the yellow Socialists. u
