NEW YORK, March Efforts
of beariSh professionals to resume
the downward movement in stock
prices with the aid of further Strin-
gent conditions in the money mar
ket met with failure today after
price movements in the early trad
ing had been irregular.
Shorts put out lines in huge vol
uIne shortly after the opening, fore
ing pivotal shares to new lows on
the reaction, but the past four days
of heavy selling which the market
has been forced TO absorb evidently
put in an excellent technical posi-
ton and prices rallied when pres
sure was lifted.
The credit situation remained
clouded. Call money was firm at
the renewal rate of 10 per cent and
many observers held that the an
nouncement of the treasury financ-
ing bearing a AZ per cent coupon
presaged even more stringent credit
conditions The Az per cent rate
on the $345 100000 offering is Y per
cent higher than the December Of
fering and the highest since the
end of the war.
Buying Done With Caution
AS a result buying operations were
conducted with caution and sharp
advances occurred in only a few
issues like Radio and Adams Elk
press, both of which moved up about
20 points each. Most of the buying
was reported to represent short
covering, but impressive strength
was shoWr by several high-grade
rails and coppers, indicating impor-
tant interests were still on the side
of rising prices.
Support in these shares greatly
aided the constructive forces and
threw fright into the ranks of the
bears. Johns Manville rallied sharp
ly after being forced down nearly
10 points on an early bear raid,
based on the belief the company
would suffer adversely from the
death of its president, Theodore
MARCHES. Steel common, General
Motors, ChrySler and other leaders
met with strong demand shortly
after the opening and established
good-sized gains.
Anaconda Was again a feature of
outstanding strength, rising nearly
two points after large blocks of the
stock had been taken at unchanged
prices in the early trading. The
rights for subscription to the addi-
tional common stock were listed on
the curb market at II o'clock and
initiated at 3024 on sale of 5000
shares. Other coppers were also
buoyant with Kennecott more than
a point higher.
Standard Rail Issues Move BriskIy
Probably the greatest stimulus to
the buying of the carrier shares was
the excellent freight traffic sta
tistics reported for the week ended
February %. Standard rail issues
like New Haven, Baltimore & Ohio
and New York Central moved up
briskly, while some of the Specula-
tive issues like Allegheny Corpora
ton, Missouri Kansas Texas and
Missouri Pacific were in good de-
mand
Some additional selling came into
the market in the noon trading and
small recessions from their early
highs were made in principal trad
ing stocks, but offerings of this kind
we're well-absorbed and largely rep
resented hangover liquidation.
After this had been cleaned up a
better tone again developed in the
general list.

by the automatic body called "the

1t is recalled that U. S. congress-

hatred of the population for Borno
who could not remain president one
day without the U. S. marines. One
congressman was amazed when

tions are followed out.
The new company plionly shows
tht it intends to crush what little
sign of labor rganization thee is
among the express workers and re-
duce them to a still lower degree of
slavery. 1t made these intentions
plain soon after taking charge in
March. 1t completely ignored the
fact that its contract with the union
expired in June.
And up to the present time the
union has been unable to draw the
company into negotiations on the
subject Of new contract. While the
company has made no outright de-
claration that it will not renew the
contract it more and more infringes
o nthe rules of the old agreement.
Those in charge around the depots
openly decare that the union must
be crushed. Those of the regular
employees (of the workers are ex-
tras working only during rush
hors) who are not members of the
union are urged by depot agents and
foremen to stay out of it. Shop
stewards who make any effort to
better the condition of the workers
are promptly removed by the union
heads in response to pressure from
the company.

EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (By

own with four mills. There is only

The workers employed in the West
Boylston Mills are the lowest paid
in the town md work the longest

using the old tactics of divide and
rule. The West Boylston bsses are
preparing for a cut in the wages
and also to increase the hours Of
labor.
The conditions in the mill are as
FLOWS: All the night help have been
laid if indefinitely. This involves
about 300 workers. In addition to
that most of the Polish workers
have been fired without notice. Many
of them have received letters to
leave the company houses in which
they have been living for years.
This means that the workers after
working for the West Boylston for
years, are faced with the proposition
of living on the street or leaving the
town. This is the reward of work
ers who have shaved for years in the
West Roylston mill.
Many of them face the prospect
of starvingor leave the town. The
bosses live on the sweat and agony
of the workers.

Count Boris Jelita Dobrzynski, for
merly an aide-de-camp to the czar
and organizer of counter-revolution
in Southern Russia, has arrived in
New York to interest American i'm
perialists in a scheme to COLOMBO
Nicaragua with white guard re-
fugees.
His scheme needs money-$5,000,-

for Yankee capitalists. A company
with American directors is to be
formed. From the 100000 white
guards now in European capitalist
countries, 100000 of the men, would
be colonized on fruit and coffee
plantations in Nicaragua. They
would be indenture1 for five years
work there, and paid only half their
wages, to get the other half only by
remaining and obeying orders.
