AFTERFALL
BY w. 9. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 u.N.Sl-
Traders in Wall Street saw the
brighter side of the financial picture
as the big market swung into &C.
ton today. Refusal of the other
reserve banks to raise their rates
to per cent and the opening up
OF the reserve banks resources to
the. bank acceptance market at
lower rates removed good part of
the sting of per cent redis-
count rate here, and from to z
point rallies took place in favorite
stocks at the opening OF the market.
Spectators in Wall Street saw
visions of their billions Of dollars
in paper losses floating back to
them az Industrial and railroad
stocks climbed the ladder Of mod
erately advancing prices today.
General Electric started the day Z
points higher. a block of the stock
selling at 373; against yesterdays
close at 366. Union Pacific, at the
head OF the rails, jumped 6 points
TO 269% recovering more than ali
of yesterdays loss.
The biggest contrast In the mar
ket today was In the falling off in
sale, Transactions in the first half
against 1,343, 900 in the same period
yesterday, which gave the bulls
convincing evidence that forced sell
ing of the holdings of small trad.
ers was completed for the time
| being.
The industrial and railroad favor
ties moved up to higher price levels
in the first hour, behind backlog
of strong buying demand. U. s.
Steel moved up more than 2 points
TO 215H, American Telephone and
Telegraph, pa points. to 273, and
American Can, IN, to 1898. Pack.
ard Motor resumed the aggressive
upward move which was interrupted
| by Fridays break and sold up
nearly points at 1873, the new stock
meanwhile selling at %.
Excellent weekend business re-
views and summaries by the banks
and business agencies offset the
effect of the pinching money market
and Wall Street looked at the per
cent bank rate through the op.
timists' spectacles. Dun's and
Bradstreet's summaries reported
midsummer industry at the highest
rate since the end of the war, with
increasing demand for manufactured
goods of all kinds. The Steel Cor.
poration's monthly report of untitled
tonnage, due at noon, was ex
pected to show slight falling off
in forward business in July. which
is explained. by the large increase
in rush-order deliveries.
In anticipation of expanding bust.
ness United States Steel common
continued its advance in the second
period, reaching 216A, for a rally
of 3 points. General Motors sold
again above 10 and General Electric
close to its opening price of 373,
Anaconda, at the head of the cop
pers. raced along to 1171s, not far
from the peak of the move. The
bears were compelled to cover UP
their short trails and the bulls were
once more in control.

PLANT IS NAMED
IN HONOR OF
WORKMAN
BY B. G. FORBES

Many people and many things
have continued to make America
great. Nobody has contributed
more than Americas capable
workers. We delight to honor all
kinds OF people; but how often is
adequate honor done to workmen
deserving honor?
This neglect makes all the more
interesting and worthy of note the
signal tribute paid one faithful
workman by one large corporation.
George B. Cortelyou, president
of the Consolidated Gas Com
pany of New York. has Just
had prepared a unique little vol
ume, with the simple title. John
O'Connell." It Is devoted entirely
to a sketch OF John O'ConneII's
career, and a reproduction of a
commemorative tablet which
reads:
''In recognition of the unprece-
dented continuous service Of 70
years at this plant of John O'COn-
nell. general foreman, who died
ON July 13. 1923, the Twenty first
Street plant Of the Consolidated
Gas Company was by order of the
executive committee on Tuesday,
March 5, 1929. designated as the
OCONNELL PLANT"
How many workers not above
the rank of foreman have had 4
big plant named after them?
In unveiling this tablet, Pres
ident Cortelyou said:
I'm affixing this commemorative
tablet to the walls Of the Twenty.
first Street plant-n0w known as
the O'COnnen plant-we are but
giving effect to what was already
an established fact; for whether
so officially designated or not.
this plant would always be asso-
ciated with the name of John
O'COnneII.
1--WE cannot think Of one with
out the other. His long life was
spent here. Beginning as a lad
of II, he worked here for nearly
three-quarters of q century, doing
his duty well and faithfully all
that time, and making a record
Of continuous active service that
Is unprecedented.
IAN of his interests were
centered In this neighborhOOd.
Near here is the church in which
he worshipped, and it Is in this
section that he spent 80 many Of
his spare hours In visiting and
helping the poor, tIle sick and
the needy. In his life, both in-
side and outside the plant, he ex.
enlpIified those virtues which en-.
noble the individual and exalt
the nation.
Though he is gone from us,
his character and example re.
main as an inspiration to those
who follow after. We are proud
to belong to an industry that
produces such men as John O'COn-

SPIRIT OF UNITY URGED
IN SUBURBAN SECTIONS
Damascus Resident Answers Star
= Story on Talk Of Division
in Montgomery.

In q letter to The Star, DR.. @. M.
Boyer Of Damascus, Md, In answer to
q story appearing in The Star last Sun
day, urges q spirit Of mutual help
fulness in rural and urban districts"
His letter follows:
ALLOW me to make q brief reply in
your excellent paper to an article In
The Sunday Star OF today by your STAN
correspondent, Mr.. William J. Wheatley,
who writes that there is jealousy in the
rural part Of Montgomery County, Md,
and that there Is now well defined
and growing movement in the rural part
Of Montgomery County to seek seces-
sion from urban area adjacent to the
District of Columbia.
I'VE are sure that is not the case in
this section Of the county. am in
frequent contact with many Of the
people Of Damascus, Clarksburg and
Laytonsville district and have heard no
word Of complaint or criticism or sug-
gestion Of secession as mentioned by
your correspondent.
1--WE know that Bethesda and Wheaton
districts pay two-thirds of the tax Of
the county and the greater part Of the
school funds are being spent there,
which Is just. We wish to call atten-
ton to the fact that residents Of the
Metropolitan district Of the county use
the good roads Of the rural sections
when riding for pleasure, and we would
like also to mention that the residents
Of the Metropolitan area depend upon
the rural sections for supplies, which
necessitates the building Of good roads
to haul them to market.
Rural and urban districts cannot
get along without each other, and we
should foster the spirit Of mutual help
fulnesS"
