Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMnIER

WASHINGTON. May 2s-Alexandre Dumas famed
three musketeers could never boast Of the strength and
power that can three members or the lower house OF
congress.
For the Athos. Prothos and Aramis ON capitol hill
are all powerful. BY virtue OF their ability TO lead,
along with the powerful positions they hold. the three
are invincible.
II Is largely because Of them that the present house
of representatives enjoys the reputation Of being the
most efficient organization in the history Of the ma
Itional legislature.
The triumvirate Is composed or:
Nicholas Longworth. speaker.
John Quillin Tilson. republican floor leader.
Bertrand II. Shell. chairman or the rules COM
mtttee.
Uron the shoulders az these men rests the respon-
sibility OF seeing that nothing but good administra-
ticn policy Is followed In the house. This is quite q
task. when II i considered that they have 457 indie
pendent minds to deal with.
But they have been highly successful. Evidence
Of this Is seen In the quick manner the house passed
the farm relief measure. The bill ~as introduced. con-
sidered IN detail and passed In record time. The SEN
etc debated and wransled for days.

STOCKS IRREGULAR

Market Rallies After Period
of Hesitation-SteeI
Stocks in Lead.
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 5.---For most Of
the days session the stock market pre-
scented firm front but in the last half
hour pressure on the oils and the cop
pers became increasingly effective and
the list left of with irregular price
changes.
Steel stocks were leaders of the adj
vance, although they. too, sold of to-
ward the close. General Motors was
well supported, but the independents did
little one way or the other. In general
1t may be said that the days results
were indecisive except that the latest
credit developments failed to bring out
liquidation. Call money renewing at 8
per cent dropped to per cent In the
afternoon and loans were effected in
the outside market at per cent.
If there was disappointment at the
smaller drop in brokers' loans than had
been anticipated it showed itself only
In hating price movement. There
was no appearance of concern over the
statement by the Federal Reserve Board
that If the present policy failed in
bringing about reduction in speculative
loans, "other methods" would be en-
ployed.
There was some nervous selling in
the first hour, but 1t was easily abb
sorbed and later on more than Offset by
the demand for the steels.
U. S. Steel is Leader.
United States Steel was taken in large
blocks at steadily advancing prices. The
market was looking forward to an
nouncement of the terms on which the
new stock will be offered to present

these terms would be very attractive
The annual meeting of the Steel Cor
poration is scheduled for April Is and
the quarterly dividend meeting for April
30. BY the latter date, if not before. the
price set upon the new stock will be
known. Today's buying was discount
ing this event.
Along with United States Steel went
Bethlehem Steel. crossing 112 for the
first time since 1917. AS to Bethlehem,
the prospect of larger dividend, which
current estimates of earnings justify,
was the motive. Superior Steel. Ludlum,
Crucible, Youngstown and Vanadium
were all strong.
Elsewhere in the industrial list the
can stocks were actively bought, CONT
mental and American Can both selling

tional Cash Register, heavy at the
start. moved up when the buying in
the steels inspired confidence in the
technical position generally. To less
degree tht same was true of the copper
stocks. They we're under pressure in
the early dealings, but recovred later on.
Motor Group.
The motors were slower to respond
General Motors sagged off point or
