Massachusetts, Avenue into the

the next meeting Of the body,
scheduled for Monday night.
The question was brought up
at the last meeting, but argu-

that it was necessary to post
pone action in order to take up
more urgent matters. No objec
tion to the proposed extenSi IN

was spirited argument on the
question of whether the fedora
ton should push the plan.

BY W. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 QN.S0-
Releasing itself from the grip of

held it in thraldom for nearly a
month. the stock market staged a
sensational rally in the latter part
Of this week, once again recover

When the <S1ll elephant finally
discovered that 1t was being
cornered by q mere bear mouse, it
turned on its tormentor and in.
flicted severe damage.
The end Of the reign Of terror
was brought about by number
OF constructive factors, some OF
which were the direct outgrowth
OF the break in the market itself
while others were supplied by
agencies and individuals with the
best interests Of the country at
heart. ...
Aided From Washington
Secretary Mellon and the Ad-
ministration leaders at Washing

advocate a ! per cent reduction IN

governors took steps to smoke out
the big bears who have been re-
GponSible for the savage ralding
Of the market, to the accompanl-
ment of the most absurd and
vicious rumorS ever broadcast for
malicious purposes.
It is not definitely known
whether the heads OF the ex-
change will publish the list Of
those who were working to bring
about a panic at the time that
constructive forces were striving
desperately to save the country
from ruin; at any rate, the gov
ernors of the big board served no
tice that such conduct would not
be tolerated at this time.

SLOWING TRADE

!. WEATHER

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-While
excitement In the stock and specu-
lstive commodity markets was
frequently cited as a cause for the
slowing Of trade and industry
below last week and the like
week year ago, there was fairly
general agreement that unusually
warm weather, with rain in wide
areas, was q distinctly retarding
element in retail and jobbtng
lines of distribution, especially ~
wearing apparel, Bradstreets VIII

Toward the close Of the week
when speculative pressure had
very perceptibly lightened, there
was growing belief In the idea
that q good deal Of the more
recent weakness was Of an un-
discriminating character, q n q
there was q rather more marked
tendency to look on the brighter
side Of things.
One Of the distinctly new fea-
lures brought out, the review
will say, was hesitancy in. orders
In a number Of lines, more eSpe-
cially in the steel trade, where
lessened volume Of operation ana
Of new buying caused shading OF
finished steel quotations, and .
very general downward movement
Of scrap prices.
On the cheerful side Of the
steel picture was the continued
heavy buying Of rails, other rail
road equipment. implement ma
terial and fabricated steel, the
latter seemingly fully as great,
proportionately. as in October.
In the textile trades, q notable
feature was the taking Of action
by Southern yarn mills to curb
excessive production Of coarse
cotton yarns. Cotton conSump.
ton returns for October showed
an increase of 80 per cent over
a year ago, while exports gained
only a fraction Of ! per cent, and
stocks in mills rose 20 per cent
over o year ago.
Commodity markets. led by
wheat, moved generally down
ward early in the week, but later
wheat showed independent
strength and rallied sharply.

MILITANT TRADITION OF MAY DAYS
THROUGHOUT The entire WORLD

taxi drivers striking.
New York Workers Demonstrated.
In New York there were big dem
onstrations, and in Passaic the tex
tile workers piclieted the mills.
Fascist Italy was quiet, but in
the U.S.S.R. millions of workers
demonstrated en- the streets thru,
out the country, as usual.
On May First, 1927, 10000 work
e. in Tokyo demonstrated for the
8-hour Cay, and against interven-
ton in China, with 2,100 women
participating. In Yokohama hun
drads of striking ships cooks par

Berlin 100000 demonstrated, and in
Vienna, 10000.
Union Square Rally.
In New York, large demonstra-
ton was held in Union Square, fol-
lowed by large indoor meetings in
the evening.
On May Day last year there were
great parades and demonstrations
throughout the world. In Warsaw,
10 workers were killed and hundreds
wounded, as the socialists tried to
break up the demonstration to Opera
Square of over $4,000 workers, led
by the Communists.
In Berlin, the workers marched
for over five hours to Treptow Parry,
led by the Communist Party and the
Red Front Fighters, the Left wing
workers defense corps.
Vienna Workers Paraded.
In Vienna, thousands marched in
a demonstration led by the Commu-
nists, partly in protest against the
falling of Bella Kun. In Paris there
were two score meetings, despite the
attempt of 10000 police and republi-
can guards to break them up. The
militant workers of Sofia held
number of demonstrations despite
conditions of brutal illegality.
In Mexico City, $4,000 workers
honored the memory of the Hay
market martyrs.
Tokyo, Yokohama, and other Jap
anese cities had great demonstra-
tions. In Shanghai, two Commu-
mist women were handed over to the
nationalists by the French authori-
ties in the foreign concession and
executed as warning to the work
ers against participating in May
Day demonstrations.
New York militant workers
jammed Madison Square Garden
with $4,000 May Day demonstrators,
and other big demonstrations were
held in hundreds of cities through
out the country.
