LABOR INJUNCTION
BILL DRAWS FIRE
Opposition to Amended Shipstead
Measure Voiced by Manufac-
turers to Senate Group.

BY the Associated Press.
Opposition to the amended Shipstead
bill to limit use of injunctions in labor
disputes was voiced today at a Senate
judiciary subcommittee hearing by
representatives of the National Manu-
facturers' Association and other organ
tzations.
Walter G. Merritt, representing also
the Anthracite Operators Conference,
said the bill would provide for issu-
ance of injunctions only in the event
of fraud and violence and serves to
place labor in a special class for spe-
cial treatment"
Senator Blaine, Republican, Wiscon-
sin, noted that the purpose of the bill
was to withdraw cases from equity
courts where the complainant has an
adequate remedy at law, and Merritt
called the bill unconstitutional He
cited Supreme Court decision hold
ing the Arizona anti-injunction bill in
valid as an attempt to strip equity
courts of power to protect property
rights THE acts this bill permits are
far more aggravated" than the acts pro-
hibited in the Arizona case, he said,
adding:
THE fact that the bill. is approved by
union leaders is evidence that it will
be used by them as juggernaut over
non-unionists'

STOCK MARKET
TUMBLES HARD
Radio Drops Almost 100 Points
in Three Days as Others
Follow

New York, Dec. 8.-R)-Violent
reactions in Radio Corporation com
mon and a few other high priced
specialties brought about another
general liquidating movement in to-
days stock market. Prices opened
irregular, with pools bidding up =
few specialties, but the withdrawal
Of buying support for several Of
the so-called "blue chip" Issues sent
the market into another nosedive.
Radio Corporation common, which
established new high record at APO
only last week, plunged downward
43 points to 1876. Dupont, which
opened rs points higher, quickly lost
20 points of its gain. A. M. Byers
moved up six points to 1874 and then
tumbled to 1853. Case Threshing
broke % points. holster Radio,
Sears Roebuck, Rossia Insurance,
and Texas and Pacific Railroad sold
down 5 to 8 points. Wright Aero
broke Is points to PIG.
The violence of the reaction today
was attributed in q large measure
to the forced liquidation Of weak
ened marginal accounts. Because Of
the high margins required, most
speculative accounts were able to
withstand the selling Of Thursday
and Friday, but today's drastic break
necessitated the dumping overheard
Of wide assortment of issues.
Bankers generally look upon the
reaction as a natural correction of
top.heavy speculative position.
Unless it should proceed with I'M
usual violence, they do not antici-
pate that it will have any material
effect on business. 1t is likely to
result, however, in withdrawal of
funds loaned by corporations on Sc
curities collateral, throwing the bur-
den of financing the market back on
the banks.
So great was the volume of trad
ing that the ticker fell nearly half
an hour behind the market in the
last half-hour.
The closing was weak.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Dec. 8.-(R)-The dra-
matte collapse in stock prices, CO.
incident with the raising of call
money rates to the highest level in
eight years, overshadowed all other
developments in this weeks finan-
cial markets. In the short space of
two days, two-thirds of the gains
recorded in the wild speculation since
election day were wiped out, and
hundreds of millions of dollars in
paper profits lost.
It was the most violent reaction
in the long and colorful history Of
the New York stock exchange.
The rise in call money closely
followed reports of record-breaking
brokers' loans totals by the New
York stock exchange and the New
York federal reserve bank. The tre-
mendous absorption of funds for
speculative purposes, coupled with
increasing holiday demands, prep
arations for December Is income tax
payments and the recent loss of
gold. brought about a temporary
credit stringency which finally up
set the stock market structure.
Except for the adverse comment
on speculation by the secretary of
the treasury in his annual report,
and the credit stringency, there was
nothing in the weeks news to. create
bearish sentiment.
All stocks were affected by the re-
action in prices but the high priced
specialties, which have been whirled
up to dizzy heights by pool op-
orators, were the hardest hit. Radio.
Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck,
Wright Aeronautical, Adams Ex-
press and several others sold % to
Is points below their high prices Of
the year. ..
Coppers showed acute weakness
despite the recent series Of favorable
dividend announcements. Oils also
fell back sharply despite trade pre-
dictions OF increased profits in 1929.
Rails yielded with the industrials,
ALTHOUGH most Of the first class
roads are making splendid compare
sons in the closing months of tho
year with same period ! year ago.
