Past Reactions.

These figures show the range to be
from to IL weeks. While the major
part of reaction is often accom-
pltShed within three weeks, the trader
would rarely benefit by purchasing
stocks before the three-week period is
up, for stocks have never begun sharp
advance until the market has settled
somewhat. Often it takes longer than
the three weeks for the process of
readjustment to be completed.
Double Bottoms.
Another striking characteristic of
these reactions is that the market
usually makes what Is known as a
double bottom" That is, the market
as q whole will drop to low point,
rally bit, then decline again to the
same low before it begins to show per-
manent improvement. The market is
most likely to touch double bottoms
when the reaction is sharp.
During the course of reaction, also,
prices usually rally substantially num-
Der OF times. These minor movements
may not be evident in the daily aver
ages, for the market can often stage a
tremendous rally and then in the same
day stocks may drop so low that the
average closing price is far below that
OF the preceding day. Such a rally,
followed by considerably greater de-
cline. occurred last Friday. Although
these rallies are certain to appear. there
is no way Of telling when they will come
or how long they will last, and prices
usually crop of as sharply after the
rallies as they did before.
II the present reaction can be Judged
by past experience it will not be over
until the middle of next week at the
earliest. There is a possibility that it
may run even longer. The sharper the
descent Of stock prices the more prob
able that double bottom will occur
which will afford two opportunities to
buy stocks at low prices for the reaction.

antly for bargain" day, but as prices
decline the ranks of the bargain hunt
ers will grow thinner. BY that time a
real disaster will be feared and few will
buy when stocks are actually at bar
gain levels.
How soon will the bottom be reached?
That seems to be question no one can
answer, for it depends upon economic
and human factors which cannot be
regulated or estimated. In the past,
however, a decline of this sort has al
ways taken certain minimum length
of time, and it is doubtful whether the
present correction can be accomplished
In less time.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 28.--At a

TO protest against the extradition of
Bella Kun to Hungary, where he faces
certain death, the following resolution
vas drawn up and passed unanim-
ously:
Whereas, the arrest Of Bella Kun,
valiant fighter for the working class,
by the Seipel government of Austria
constitutes violation of the right of
political asylum, and
Whereas, the proposal to extra

formerly head of the Hungarian Sow
let government, signifies certain
death for him at the hands of the
present Horthy murder regime in
Hungary, be it
Resolved, that we workers of Chi

TRUST is FACING
FINANCE EXPOSE
But There Are Millions
In Trust Lobby Fund

WASHINGTON, May % (FP). -
While the federal trade commission
proceeds with its hesitant exposure
of the power trusts efforts to stamp
out all discussion of public ownership
of utilities in the United States,
question has been raised as to when
the financial structure of the power
companies and their holding compa-
MES is to be probed.
Within the next month the workers
will realize that there must be some
very strong reason for the anxiety
shown by the utility magnates that
the capitalist press, schools and libra
ries should be prejudiced against pub
lie competition with their game. That
reason will be found in the tax laid
upon the public in the form of ex-
cessive rates. Back of these extor-
tomato rates is a mass of juggled
bonds and watered stocks.
The water" in public utility stocks
is said to have reached a total of ST.
000,000,000 about a year ago. Elec-
tricity costs twice as much in the
United States as in Ontario. The ex-
PLANTATION floats on a sea of water
pumped into stocks by promoters.

Workers of America. Bloor hoped
toward the front of the platform,
laughed gaily, and leaning forward
shouted:
"You know, John Lewis and his
henchmen tried to steal my honorary
membership away which hold in the
United Mine Workers of America.
Mother Jones and / are the only
women that have this membership,
she said proudly. "But he missed this
time--for my card is in my sons safe

Bloor is always found where there
is big labor fight on. This week
she is hustling back to the Indiana
coal fields to continue her work there.
"We were sitting in little hall, a
group of miners. There were no seats,
so we sat on boxes. There were no
lights, so the coal diggers brought
their carbide lamps. They were read
ing aloud from The DAILY WORK
ER-and you know it is full of great
mine news. Then one of them spoke
up; A year ago everybody was afraid
to mention the word socialism; now
everybody is talking Communism.
Mother Bloor doesn't have to use
the railroads when she's on her way
to take part in a fight of the workers.
She "bums" her way around the coun-
try, and workers everywhere greet
her warmly.
