Associated Press Feature Service) NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Invest- ment trusts and trading corpora tions received their baptism of fire in the recent selling crisis on the stock exchanges. They experienced a sharp decline in the market value of their securities.
 Many of them, however, with large liquid reserves, were able to pick up large blocks of securities at attractive prices.
 Heavy financing py these corpo- rations earlier in the year raised the aggregate total of their capital to around three billion dollars. This accounted, in part, for the large increase in brokers borrowings.
 Most of those organized within recent months saw their securities drcp to prices far below those at which they were offered to the pub lie. The more seasoned issues, a few of which had doubled or trebl- ed in price, fell back sharply in common with the shares of all lead ing railroads, public utility and in- dustrial companies.

"CANDLE LIGHT A
COMEDY" AT EMPIRE

Candle Light" presented by Gill
bert Miller at the Empire, is very
slight comedy from the German of
Sigfried Geyer, adapted by P. e..
Wodehouse. Gertrude Lawrence is
the leading lady in the play.
Gertrude Lawrence is competent
actress in comedy but is more suited
to the field of musical comedy.
The story is about one of those
so-called democratic" princes
Prince Rudolph of Haseltorf, and his
valet Joseph. In the true manner of
stage democratic" princes he is in
innate with the valet.
Through wrong phone connec-
ton the valet flirts with a "lady,"
and invites her to visit the apart
ment while the prince is away. She
accepts, and the valet impersonates
the prince.
The 'lady" is a parlor maid, altho
the valet don't know that. The
prince returns, impersonates the
valet and so on through lot more
of such claptrap.
Altogether a poor play, dignified
beyond its worth by fine perfor-
mances by Leslie Howard and Regi-
maid Owen.

IGNORED BY A.F.L.
Get Only Platitudes

The A. e. Of L., in its convention
at Toonto, rCanada, has so far had
nothing to say about women work
ers except the usual platitudes. The
bourgeois organization, the woman's
Trade Union League, nearly all of
the members of which are bourgeois
professional women, even go so far
as to fight against special protective
legislation for women, as being dis
criminatory."
Quite different are the demands
issued by the Red International of
Labor Unions in its last convention.
The entire list of demands relative
to workin gwomen is quoted.
The R. /. L. U. shall fight for the
following program of demands for
women workers:
(1) Wages. Equal pay for equal
work. General raising of women
workers ~-qg in correspondence
with the price in the cost of living
and productivity of labor. A mini
mum wagey shall be established for
women workers of the backward
branches Of industry, agriculture and
home workers or house workers.
(2) Working Hours. Introduc-
ton Of 7-hour day and 6-hour day
for harmful occupations. A 4-hour
day on Saturdays and the days be-
fore holidays. Introduction of an
annual monthly holiday "a months

The New York District of the In

statement issued last night by Rose
Baron, secretary, points out that
with the publication of this article
Hresca reveals himself completely
as an open enemy of the working
class, doing the work of the capi-
5elist hangmen. The statement de-
ciares:
"Carlo Tresca's article strikes a
familiar note, the note of all Red
Baiters, of all agents of the capital
list class whatever masks they hap
pen to wear. At the very moment
when the International Labor De-
Tense is fighting the capitalist ter
ror, legal mad illegal in North
Carolina where the mill owners are
trying to send seven of the best
fighters of the working class to long
terms in jail, at the very moment
when Salvatore Accorsi has been
extradited to Pennsylvania to stand
trial in MELONS courts on a framed
charge of murder, Carlo Tresca
stabs in the back the organization
that is defending these militant
workers. This is a stab in the back
of the entire working class, an act
of the blacklist treachery by a man
who poses as "friend,"a leader fo
the workers.
Tresca writes: "They (the I. L.
d. are prospecting on the hunger
of someone. They are getting fat
on the Imprisonment of real recolu-
tionists. They became opulent on
the electroduction of sacco and Van
zetti."

character of Tresca, let them pom
