ON THE CURB

NEW YORK, Nov. 7 UNS0-
Another furied storm Of selling
swept over the curb market this
morning and after the haze had
been lifted from the quotations
posted in the first hour Of trad
ing, long series Of minus signs
was evidenced throughout the
list.
It was almost a duplication Of
the record-breaking session Of
last week when stocks were
thrown overheard regardless of
price. Opening sales were in
large volume, and sharply below
the previous closing figures.
Forced selling and liquidation Of
margin accounts ruled for the
greater part of the first hour,
but towards the beginning Of the
second hour considerable support
came into the market and the
main body Of stocks rallied some
what from their lows.
Electric Bond and Share dipped
to 61A for a loss Of four points.
Cities Service dropped 4A to
25h, before recovering moder-
ately from this level. other
active issues were considerably
depressed with the heavy selling
centering in the utility and in.
vestment trust group, and a great
number of stocks in this classitl-
cation were forced through pre-
vious resistance levels.
In the utility group American
superpower was off 33s at 1915;
Central States Electric was off
"a at 90; Electric Investors
down 8 at 100; Middle West

INDUSTRY
HELD PROVED
SOUND

NEW YORK, Nov. Financial
soundness Of automotive manufac-
turers has been proved by the re-
cent stock market crashes, Auto
motive Industries will say this
week IL. summarizing the status
Of the industry from the Wall
Street viewpoint.
Representative Wall Street bank
officials expressed this opinion to
a staff member of the publication
and gave che following reasons
for their poSitiveness:,
Cash balance figures, earnings
statistics, recent curtailment Of
automotlve production, sman In
yentories of the manufacturers
and the solvency Of industry gen.
orally in the United States.
From the production angle, the
disaster was timely. it is pointed
out. Output rates had been cur
tailed with an increasing rapidity
that had become almost abrupt.
A few plants had closed for in
ventory and others were planning
to do so shortly. Activity was al
most at q minimum in organize
tions where preparations were
under way for turning out new
models. Part-tilne working syS-
TENS had been instituted in sew
eral instances to keep all Of the
employees on the payroll.
Had the market precipitation
occurred in February or March OF
this year. or any year, the article
points out, the industry would
have been gathering momentum
in production, inventories would
have been high and dealers
stocks very heavy. AS it was, the
collapse came after the industry
had established new all-time pro-
duction and sales records.
The output during the remain
der Of 1929 probably will be COM
paratively small. Preparations
win continue, however. for the
Chicago and New York salons to
be held this month and next, re-
spectively, and for the 1880 auto
mobile shows, which will begin
with the New York exposition
next January 4 to II.
Even with the opening OF. 1880,
it is expected that production will
not be begun on a huge scale
until a tangible estimate OF the
market demand has been OBJ
tanned. This may lead to regu-
lated production, or flexible pro.
duction schedules. such as have
been advocated recently by L. A

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-An
aftermath of the extreme break
In the stock Of Webster Eisen-
Iohr, Inc, maker of welklmoWn
cigars and controlled by the
/ United Cigar Stores and the
schultz Retail Stores Corpora
tion through the Union Cigar
Company, a subsidiary, came to
light yesterday in the auctioning
off Of more than one-third Of the
outstanding common stock at
2.l21a a share. The block that
was knocked down to the highest
bidder consisted Of lS9, ,760
shares, out Of 493, ,406 outstand-
Ing common shares.
The high price OF the stock for
the year on the stock exchange
was 1132s and the low was 4.
The auction price. therefore,
represents nearly half less than
the low price for the year.
At the high price this year the
stock that changed ownership
yesterday over the auction block
had q market valuation Of SAL
4o1 $40. The total price brought
by the stock yesterday was $4O3.-
24O, a decline of $21, ,O88, $50 from
the high for the year.
Spirited bidding that started at
so cents a share in the sale IN the
auction rooms Of Adrian Muller q
sons, 56 Vesey street. Both the
buyer and seller refused to disclose
their names or the interests they
represented.
IN view of the fact that Schultz
United Cigar interests are most
deeply interested in the company
which manufactures many well
known brands Of cigars, it would
occasion no surprise if it we're dis
closed that these interests or in
terestS affiliated with them had
taken up the stock, increasing
their holdings In the company.
AS to t.1n "ource, Of the stock.
nothing definite could be learned,
but the recent death Of Anthony

The coalition steamroller never

After SlaShing virtually every rate

1t started in by reducing the duty

items in the metals schedule.
The vote on pig iron found 10
Republicans, including four regu-
lars, voting with 20 Democrats
for the reduction, while four
Democrats stood with 26 Old
Guardsmen for the higher rate.
The House fixed the rate on
pig iron at $1.121a a ton. The

Two Special Worker
Correspondent Pages
in Daily Next Week

No worker correspondence section
appears in today's Daily Worker,
due to the publication of the thesis
of the Young Workers (Communist)
League in connection with the
Leagues Forthcoming convention.
The worker correspondence sec
tion on Monday will be a special
page for the textile workers. devoted
entirely to the workers in the mills.
Among the features will be let
ters from textile workers III the
south, in New England, and letter
on the strike of the rayon workers
of the Industrial Fibre Co. in
Cleveland, with photos sent in by
a worker correspondent.
Fascimiles of leaflets issued by
the textile workers in Gastonia, N.
c., and the rayon workers of Cleve-
land, now on strike, will also be
published.
A few days after this special
worker correspondence section for
food workers will appear.
These special sections for work.
ers in individual industries are part
of the campaign now in full swing
to increase the number of sub
scribers to the Daily Worker. The
special issues will be distributed.

proletariat after Oct. II, 1905,
proved this possibility in actual fact.
Any social democrat calling him
self a socialist should be asked if he
sympathizes with an agreement
among the social democrats of vari-
Gus belligerent countries for the
purpose of joint revolutionary ac-
ton against all the governments at
war. Many will reply that this is
impossible, as did Kautsky ("Neue
zeit," Oct. 2, 1914, thereby plainly
demonstrating his social chauvin-
ism. For in the first place it is an
arrant and Grass untruth, striking
blow in the face of we'll known
facts and of the Basic manifesto.
And, in the second place, were it
true, then the opportunists would be
right on many points!
Many will reply that they SYM
pathize with the idea. And then
we shall say: If this sympathy is
sincere, it would be ridiculous to
suppose that in war, and for war.
a formal" agreement is requisite,
dealing with the election of repre-
sentatives, meeting place, signing of
a treaty, fixing of appointed day
and hour! 1t is only the Semkov-
skys who are capable of thinking
like this. An agreement on revolu-
tionary action even in one country,
to say nothing of number of coun-
tries, can only be realized by the
force of the example of serious rev.
olutionary actions, their initiation
and further development.
Such initiative action is again i'm
possible without the wish for de-
feat and without the promotion of
defeat. The conversion of imper-
ialist war into civil war cannot be
made" just as revolution cannot
be made" . it grows out of a
large number of multifarious phen-
omena, aspects, features, peculiari-
ties, and consequences of imperial
ist war. And this growth is impos-
sible without a number of military
failures and defeats suffered by
those governments whose own op-
pressed classes are dealing blows
at them.

No Longer Terror to
Northern Workers

Especial to the Daily Worker)
WARREN, R. l., April 4.-The
usual threat of removal Of machin-
cry to the south, which sounds lamer
than usual now with the tremendous
strike movement there, was made
yesterday by the mill officials of
The Warren Marrow Fabrics Co., to
their employees, striking for better
conditions under the leadership of
the National Textile Workers Union.
The 100 workers employed in the
plant, who are all now members of
the newly-formed local of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, ridi-'
cule this threat and are prepared
to stay cut until they win their de-
mands. The demands of the work
ers are: An increase of from to 6
cents per 1000 picks for day work.
ers and an increase of from 51z to
az for night workers.
This is the strike which President
James P. Reid came in to take
charge Of, and in which he was later
assaulted by a mill official while
leaving after conference with
them.
One humorous angle of the strike
here was the statement TO the press
by mill boss. In trying to deny
the strikes existence, he said he
didn't know there was strike on
TIL told by a committee two days
later. "For two days." workers
wonderingly ponder, "the manager
of the mill came and saw an empty
plant and didn't know where the
workers were. Perhaps he thought
we went golfing"?

Big Corporations Condemn
Old Workers TO Starvation

women, the survey is careful not to
reveal. But workers know it is al
ways the larger companies which
first perfect efficiency systems of
hiring and firing. Those corpora
lions which do not openly announce
an age limit policy, usually instruct
the personnel man to pick out the
younger men or women in the line
OF job applicants. Certainly a ma
Jority of industrial workers in the
United States now find it impos.
slble to secure new employment
after certain age is passed.
In giving their reasons for set
ting a hiring age limit, many en-
ployers declare they have private
pension pla-J or group insurance
schemes, for those already on their
payroll. They think the addition of
older workers would increase the
cost of their insurance premiums.
This =, of course, the strongest
kind Of argument for state social
insurance for the workers. Private
pension plans, even where they ex-
list, tie the worker to the one cor
poration and promise only meager
amount in old age. The wor-....- does

New Zealand Workers
Forced to Quit Homes
in Torrential Floods

DUNEDIN, New Zealand (By
MaiD. - Torrential rains have
used the worst floods in the his
tory of Dunedin. Hundreds of work
ers have had to vacate their homes,
and in some of the sections the water
is five feet high.
Two bridges spanning rivers have
collapsed, and part of railway
embankment was swept away. Be-
fore its discovery was made, heavy
freight train crashed, the fireman
being killed. 1t is alleged that the
action of the authorities in blocking
up a tunnel which had acted as a
channel to bear off the flooded
waters was the cause.
