"The office workers are as much

City. For that reason, the Office
Workers Union, which was recently
organized and which really fights
in the interests of the office work
ers in New York, and tries to or
ganize them, Immediately and heart
lily endorsed the idea of calling a
Working Youth Conference. We
felt it imperative to bring the Of
flee workers into closer contact with
other groups of young workers, so
that feeling of ;eal solidarity would
be established between the clerical
and industrial workers. We want
to have g strong office workers rep
resentation at the conference next
Saturday.
"The Executive Board of the Of
A flee Workers Union has elected dele
gates to represent the organization
at the conference in the name of the

To STAY
HIGH, SAYS
FORBES
BY b. 4. FORBES

Money has become worth more
than the dividends on stocks.
IN the past that usually signified
that stock quotations were riding
for fall.
Nothing points to cheaper
money in the immediate future.
Everything indicates that rates
will 20 in the other direction.
Agricultural and commercial de-
marlds normally begin increasing
at this season and will do 50 this
year.
Rates are already the highest
touched In seven years. When
brokers bid more than the
maximum legal rate. which Is s
per cent In New York state, for
time loans, and when call money
commands still better returns,
there Is little incentive to buy
or hold stocks on margin.
Bond Prices Significant
Very significant. at least to
old.tiners, is the unusually drastic
decline which have occurred in.
bonds. Nor can announcement
be derived from the present sup
ply Of undistributed new securi-
ties on dealers shelves.
Against these considerati
must be weighed the increasing
reflections Of betterment in 3
number of Industries. The ex-
pectation Is for at least q mod
crate Improvement In general
trade during the current half
year.
The writer stilI feels that the
chances are that most Of the
stocks which have been doomed
will be obtainable bit lower prices
between now and November.
Business men In politics and
how they should adjust their re-
lationships with their companies
will become more common
theme Of discussion In future
than it has been In the past, be.
cause more and more of our bust
ness leaders will be taking an
active part in politics.

 In reply to Sablotskys statement that he he included in future meet ings, Nair said he wished that the councilman would tell the committee in advance what goes on in private interview with Tremhlv. Sposato and others.' When questioned Sposato declared he had never talked with Sablotsky.
 MT. Sablotsl1y's answer, the con cludlnE statement of the meeting. was that lie never told q man tu come to the meeting and that all his witnesses volunteered.
 The next meeting is 10 be held at the call of the chairman.
 Following the meeting, Courcil- man Sablotsly expressed regret that

was interrupted several times by Alderman Nair who replied that he wanted to bring out the fact that the purchase of horses Was not unusual and that mistakes along that line happened in previous administra- tions.
 After both alderman and council- man pleaded for the floor at the same time it was given to MT SahlotSky who asked that Alderman Nair refrain; from using the term former administration" and to do something to benefit the city.
 My purpose ill bringing this in is for compa parison'--but Sablotskv iu- corrupted with the statement that "Nair Is looking for his election in the spring"
 Once again Nair was given the floor and hc said the facts brought out were besmirching the present administration and that he wanted to show similar matters happened in previous administrations.
 I'aoncssa on Legitimate Work
 He said the hiring of trucks hv relatives was not a. new thing and that in the administrator of Mayor X. NJ. Paonessa. his brothers truck was put on and he received a, total of s9,62l for it's use. He declared he brought it out since the Towers Mills relationship was brought up.

 Denies Threat to "Gct" COnlOn
 Councilman Sablotsky asked Bat taglla if he was not prcjudiced aaginst the board headed by Con- lon because he did not get the Myrtle street paving contract. Battaglia re. piled negatively. Sablotsky then charged Battaglalia had threatened to get Conlon for the part he play ed in the Myrtle street contract, but the witness also denied this.
 Ralph Battey. acting street superintendent, was called by Alderman Nair but was not question cd when it was found he was not employed on the South Main street job.
 Alderman Nair brought out that dirt was placed in the rear of St. Joseph's church to fill lowland dur ing the South Main street job. He declared if it was improper to put dirt ln Towers property it was also improper to place any in the rear of the church.
 When the discussion Of the pur- chase Of horses was taking place Councilman Sahlotsky asked City Engineer Williams why it was that he did not notify the council after he had learned the horses were pur- chased without permission of the council. MT. Williams replied he did not know this to be the case until the investigation was underway.
 At this point Alderman Nair left hls place and went over to George Johnson, public works department clerk. who gave him a list of trucks

For that matter the case is not similar to the dump Ing Of dirt on Towers land. Buell. street Is much shorter than South Main street, and could not possibly take all the earth dug from the longer street. IL was good economy 10 dump 1t on the church grounds because a shorter haul could be made and each truck could carry more loads. When work advanced 10 the locality Of Buell. street, the material could then be taken for street repair but lt was at this point that Towers insisted that the dirt be taken to his lot. At any rate the dirt taken to tho church grounds henetlttsd the property Of a large group of taxpayers, but that taken to Towers land was for one lndi1id- ual alone"

 At the opening of the hearing. Alderman Nair inquired whether former Supt. Thomas r. Kearney was present and when kearney did not respond he expressed regret, saying he had a number of questions he wished to ask.

II" vas hired to work in q dump. but was sent to the homo of l.. O, kllhournc where he worked two weeks before he found out he was on private property, he testified. Dur ing this period he was paid by the city. He was grading earth taken from Myrtle street, be said. He also testified 10 having seen kilbournc fill his private car with city owned gasoline.
 Steppler testified as to several jobs on which he worked for the city, but City Engineer Williams declared he never saw Stoppler working any place excepting in the dump.
 Julian LaRochelle testified that while he was on the city payroll he vas sent to kearney's house and had repaired q toy automobile as well as lo1nE other odd jobs.
 Replying to d question of Council man Sablotsky. the witness said he earns his livelihood working for the board of public works.
 Then you had to come up here and testify" the councilman inter- jCcted.
 No I didn't have 10 come" was the reply. T was told to come" Further questioning was cut short by Alderman Nair who said he was the one who told the witness 10 come up.
 Herman Laquoir. also employed by the board. said kearncy sent him 10 his house three times and he worked saving wood.
