SPECULATIVE BOND
prices DIP LOWER
Market Slips OFF Further To-
day Despite Attempted
Rallies.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 28.-PriceS OF
speculative bonds did not get very far
from yesterdays closing figures during
most of today's session.
There were feeble rallies in the con-
vertibles. but new weak spots in other
parts of the list, SO that the general
market average slipped off little more.
It is now 3i2 points under the high OF
last January and points lower than in
May last year.
Slightly easier rates for call and time
money apparently had no effect in a
situation that at the moment is infiu-
enced primarily by conditions in the
speculative market. A temporary de-
cline in bonds usually accompanies a
severe reaction in stocks. both for senti-
mental reasons and because of the ext
gencieS compelling liquidation OF the
one class of securities to protect margin
accounts in the other.
There has been a severe enough de-
cline in stocks now to turn the minds
of investors to bonds, but with consid-
erably higher money rates in the i'm
mediate future, it is too early to expect
anything like a broad institutional or
public demand for them.
While there were rallies in the first
Liberty 3 l2s and first 4hs, as we'll as in
the and the Az per cent Treasury
certificates, the fourth Liberty 4As. the
most active of this group, dropped to
new low price for the year. Early next
week announcement is expected of the
terms at which the June Is Govern
ment financing will be effected
Seaboard Air Line adjustments adj
vanced about point, but the CONSOLE
dation IS declined points.
In the proposed plan for retiring the
adjustments, holders would obtain $500
principal amount in the first IS worth
today $375, and Is shares Of common
stock valued at $225 on the basis of the
present common. They gave up their
claim to the 20 per cent accumulation
of back interest on the adjustments.
This plan, If agreed to by the adjust
ment bond holders, would relieve the
company of the embarrassment of hav-
ing to pay interest on a contingent
liability whenever it had a good year
instead OF applying the same amount
of money to the upbuilding Of the
property.
Foreign issues were heavy. German
rs broke through los and the Central
Bank for Agriculture IS went OF q point

low was made for Australian SIS. French
1l2s lost all the ground they have made
in the past two months. Italians,

were generally soft.

INDIANA LABOR
Makes Demands For End
of Prison Competition

Indianapolis, Ind. (ILNS)-The 700
delegates to the Indiana State Feder-
alton of Labor concluded the 45th an
nual convention of that body at La
fayette, and voted to hold the next
convention in Indianapolis in 1880.
The convention adopted strong reso-
luton on prison labor and unemploy-
ment. President T. N. Taylor pointed
out that the wrongs free labor is
compelled to suffer through the foist-
ing of prison-made products on the
market. Taxpayers contribute 60
cents per inmate daily for support of
prisoners who are "hired out" to con-
tractors at Sc cents a day wages,
four cents day less than their up
keep. The Federation will make an
effort to have the next legislature
pass law to keep prison products
out Of competition with products Of
free labor, and will ask law to pro-
vent school bands and orchestras
from competing with musicians who
make their livelihood through music.

MANY MUNICIPALITIES
USE LONG WORK DAY

Washinton. - The United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics scores the
long hour practice of many munich
palities. A total of 351 cities in "a
states compel street laborers to work
10 hours day, 6 days a week In
cities of less than $500 population
a 11-hour day is not uncommon.
1T is pretty generally agreed"
says the bureau, "that the public,
when it acts as an employer, should
be a good employer. If that is not
agreed to, it ought to be. If there is
anything that is well settled in the
minds of reasonable men it is that
the 10-hour day and the 60-hour week
are, or ought to be, things Of the
past. They are tolerated in industry
only in establishments generally re-
ferred to as sweatshops."

HOMECOMING Building Washington Suburbs
EXCLUSIVE AGENCY CONTRACT
FORM ADOPTED BY REALTORS
Brokers Division of Board Backs Move
for Standard Prepared by Special
Committee.

A standard form for an exclusive
agency contract to be employed by local
realtors in real estate transactions has
been adopted by members of the brokers'
division of the Washington Real Estate
Board, it was announced today by j.
A. McKeever, division chairman. The
standard form, prepared by a special
committee, has the approval of the
executive committee of the board, it was
stated.
Mr.. McKeever explained that the new
contract form was designed to furnish
a uniform basis for handling exclusive
listing of properties for sale Hereto
fore no uniform contract has been used
in Washington, each real estate operator
using form of his own.
During recent years, Mr.. McKeever
pointed out, the practice of securing the
exclusive service of one realtor or other
real estate operator to effect a sale of
property has materially increased among
property owners and he predicted that
this eventually would be the general
practice Of property owners in disposing
OF their real estate holdings.
Under an exclusive agency agreement
the owner has one agent assume the
responsibility for the sale of his prop
erty and it is to this one agent that
the owner looks for the service and
protection incident to a sale.
While the one broker alone has the
right to sell the property, the general
custom among members of the board
permits any other member to effect the
sale, and if this is done the transaction
is handled through the exclusive agent
rather than directly with the owner.
In accepting an exclusive listing a
broker assumes the responsibility of
rendering a measurable service and is
expected to exert more than ordinary
