lnands-must 1e granted before a
shop will be settled.
The Socialist" officials of the
yellow international, despite their
lying, boastful and at times idiotic
statements to the capitalist press,
were equally frantic. Schlesinger,
chief agent for the employers, is
sued statements that only 1900
workers had struck, involving a
handful of shops, and that the work
ers who had packed five halls the
first day of the strike were in re-
ality furriers, cloakmakers and
Communist sympathizers." The
yellow Forward went even further
in its lies.
Schlesinger and his lieutenants
were also busy all day trying to
corral scabs fer the bosses, but
meeting with little success, since
there are few dressmakers affiliated
with the scab international and most
of these had joined the strike.
The shop chairmen are being
drawn into the strike more and
more. Successful meetings of the
shop chairmen were held yesterday
at the various halls and today at
2 p. m. they will all meet at Webster
Hall.
Strike Effective in Brownsville.
In Brownsville the strike has been
equally effective. Hundreds of addi-
tional workers came out yesterday,
many of the shops being composed
exclusively of Italian worke,;. A
meeting of all the striking dress.
makers in Brownsville will he held
at 1 o'clock today at the strike
hall. 154 Watkins st.
Conspicuous in all the picket lines
have been the Negro workers. who
for the first time are striking with
real spirit, since never until now
has there been union whose aim
is to unite all the workers Of the
needle industry, regardless Of race
color or nationality, in a fight
against their common enemies.

NEW BOOM HELD

FORBES
By b. 3. FORBES

A new boom has developed in
the stock market. II has sent
average prices to record.brealking
heights. Also, It has caused
brokers loans to expand faster
than ever before.
! Industry, on the whole, has
started the second half OF the
year very encouraginglys although
building Is an exception. Re-
tail trade reports also are gen.
orally satisfactory, but neither
uniformly 50 nor exceptionally 30.
Perhaps most important Of all,
there has been q very substantial
recovery in grain prices. Wheat in
Chicago, instead Of being below a
dollar bushel, touched $1,23 to-
ward the close Of the week.
Bankers Modified
This viii interest those taking
part in stock operations
Some OF our most influential
bankers ana other financiers who
were distinctly alarmed over the
speculative furore which RACED
earlier in the year, are now much
less apprehensive. They reason
that the setbacks the market re-
ceived were severe enough to
leave 1t in q sounder position.
They regard the recent buying OF
stocks as more orderly, more care
full, more discriminating.
They are well pleased over the
vitality shown by industry. and
trade. Moreover, they have be-
come less fearful concerning the
danger Of panicky happenings in
the Wall Street money market.
Nor has the entrance Of ]. p.
Morgan and Company into new
enterprises on a. colossal scale
been without sentimental effect
in high places. Not only has the
worlds most powerful interna-
tiona1 banking house become,
openly. q factor of impressive
magnitude in the mighty utility
field, but 1t has shown similar
aggressiveness In acquiring con-

NEW YORK, July 3 ms 1.-The
road TO higher prices on the stock
exchange today was blocked during
the second hour by the flood Of
profit taking in most Of the stocks
which have risen spectacularly in
the last week or two, A few OF
the new favorites, as well as the
stocks in which q large short in
terest appeared to be tied up, forged
ahead in the first hour, but the
tide OF speculative selling was too
strong to permit OF any wide adj
vaflces In u. s.. Steel, General NO
tors, New York Central and other
important ground-gainers in last
weeks bull market.
The motor stocks gave an excel
lent account Of themselves az re-
ports Of large increases in produc-
ton OF cars were released by the
principal manufacturers. Hudson
was q leader, with 2h-point ad-
vance to 90h, but new gains Of
q point or more were scored by
Hupp, Briggs Manufacturing, Nash
and q. s. Rubber. Buying OF
Briggs was in large volume at
prices which showed recovery OF
. points from it's recent break.
The call loan renewal rate was I
per cent, but q. moderate reduction
from that rate is confidently ex-
pected in Wall Street by the middle
of the week. Public buying Of good
stocks has been steadily increasing,
according to the brokerage houses,
with prime dividend payers on the
preferred list.
Phiiadelphia and Reading Coal
was q leader in the loW-priced spe-
cialties with q 5-point rise to 22Z
on reports that a method had been
devised for utilization OF small-sized
coal products for conversion into
power for the utility markets. Loft
breezed ahead to II on 4 heavy
turnover, on the prospect Of sub
stantial profits from the new stores
acquired and re-opened.
Copper stocks attracted O. good
deal OF attention In the second hour
as buying orders for Anaconda,
American Smelling and other red
metal shares filtered into the market.
Railroad stocks made no response
to the Inauguration of the first 4S.
hour passenger service to the coast,
though Pennsylvania was well
bought around 90k, about point
