FIND OUT Tines
UNDERCOvER MAN

Espionage activities in which large
corporations cooperate with the New
York Times, "frame-ups" against
railroad workers, strike breaking
maneuvers and the indifference of
union officials were among the rev.
elations disclosed yesterday by
sources close to the New York Times,
the most powerful organ of big busi-
ness in America.
When Local S07 of the Teamsters'
Union went out on strike on Sept.
l of last year, five truck drivers en-
ployed by the New York Times struck
with other union men of the city.
Practically every employer of the city
promptly settled with the striking
drivers granting the SIS increase per
week demanded.
Employs Strikebreakers.
The New York Times, it is reliably
reported, Immediately decided to re-
fuse further dealings with the union
and promptly replaced its five strik-
ing drivers with five strikebreakers
secured from local agency.
Among these, according to reliable
information, was one g. E. Dobbs,
who is still employed by the New
York Times as an operator of one of
its Packard delivery trucks.
Anticipating the strike, the New
York Times had sent on Oct. 81, to a
local detective agency for an under
cover" man. Dobbs in the guise of a
regular strikebreaker was sent to-
gether with four other men.
In addition to acting in the capa-
city of espionage agent for the Times,
Dobbs has been employed by the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad on similar
work out of Baltimore, also by the
Pennsylvania Railroad on the Long
Island division.

members said last night.
There is also evidence that the
Horthy government has set up an or

Few American workers endure
fouler conditions than the 1000 to

doing the dirty work behind the
scenes of the handsome, palatial,
millionaire-endowed hospitals housing
New York's well-to-do i'll and the pig
sites furnished by the city for its
poor. The nurses, orderlies and
maids administering to the needs and
nerve-racking complaints of the bed

The immediate cause of the actor

the assertion of the New York Edison
Company that $325,000 of notes

The so-called Longacre franchise
is a perpetual right to conduct g

Bellegaree, leaders of the Haitian in
dependence movement, who hoped to
bring the occupation of Haiti by
United States marines before the Pan
American conference, were intercept
ed today at Santiago and prevented
from landing.
Dr. Hundecourt and Dates charged
that the Borno government was main
tained by the United States and did
not represent the will of the Haitian
people. The delegates appointed by
Borno, they intimated, represented the
interests of United States sugar COM
panies and the National City Bank,
rather a cross section of Haitian
opinion.
Morrow There.
Among those arriving today for the
conference which opens Monday were
Dwight w. Morrow, United States
ambassador to Mexico and former
partner of j. P. Morgan and Company,
the Mexican, Argentine, Bolivian,
Ecuadorean, Peruvian and Chilean

declares that Latin-America "is rapid

All Latin America, LIE Nacion says,
is "disgusted over the spectacle of an
all-powerful nation with another in
finitely small, in it's clutches" There
are only two forces working against
the United States designs on Nicara-

Latin-American opinion.
LIE Nacion then ironically points out
that "while Nicaragua is covered with
blood, news arrives from Washington
to the effect that the United States
will not tolerate criticism of the Mica

conference"
Central America was severely cri-

Thursday.
The resolution demands that the
United States "repudiate it's policy

SPECULATIVE TURN
GRIPS STOCK MART
Size OF Brokers' Loans Is
Held Unlikely to Check
Trading.
BY CHARLES F. sPEAHE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October l2-It is un-
likely that tomorrow's brief session of
the Stock Exchange win reflect any ma
terial change in speculative sentiment
from that which has prevailed through
out the current week The element re-
Sponsible for the current activity will
have had ample time over the Columbus
day holiday TO have given serious con-
sideration TO the latest increase in the
weekly Federal Reserve brokers loans
statement.
Notwithstanding that the increase of
$19905. 900 brought the total to new
peak, the size of the increase is likely to
be considered too slight to be of sig
nificance, especially when consideration
is given the speculative fever which has
taken hold of the public. In other
words. as long as funds for speculative
purposes remain abundant at the pre-
vailing rate for money on call weekly
increases III brokers loans will be taken
as a secondary factor.
The speculative imagination has been
fired by the spectacle of such prominent
induStrials as United States Steel and
General Motors selling at practically
their highest in history. and the buy
ing power of the public'i is being utilized
to follow the line of least resistance.
Taking the list as whole, however,
there have been very definite indications
of active distribution being carried on
under cover-e of strength in dozen or so
selected favorites There remains little
doubt that stocks have passed from
strong into weaker hands. but so far
this has not had the effect of shaking
the structure upon which the bull cam
paign has been built.
Brokers loans now stand at the peak
of s4.5s9. .3S3.000 They represent an
increase of SITS, 1850, 900 from the total
at the start of the year, when they
amounted to $3.81O,0230 900.
