IN CURB TRADING
Market Turns Dull on Decline.
Sales of Odd Lots
Large.
BY JOHN A. cRoNE.

NEW YORK, December 23.-After
opening active anu weak, the curb mar
Ret today turned dull and definitely
lower. The appearance Of numerous
bid odd blocks Of shares In the first
hour suggested further income tax SELL
ing. A slight rally took place at mid
Jay.
Among the power and light issues,
Electric Bond 81 Share, the leader, was
Gown more than a point. Consolidated
Jas Of Baltimore reacted ia points
Cities Service lost about half point
Standard Power g. Light fell az
points to q new low for the year. The
weakness of utility preferred issues, In
contrast with their strength Monday,
was a feature of the first hour today.
Mohawk 81 Hudson second preferred
tumbled ga Eastern Gas & Fuel 6
per cent preferred fell 41a. Rhode
island Public Service 50 preferred was
of 2 points, and New England Power
Q per cent preferred was down nearly
The declining trend in power and light
company preferred issues was trans
mitted to some of the utility holding
and investment concerns. insult Utility
Investments, Inc, was one Of the flrst
of this group to be affected. It fell to
q new minimum level The downward
movement then veered to the natural
gas division.
National Fuel Gas opened of Is
but later recovered most of its initial
loss. Lone Star Gas started lie lower,
only to rally later. United Gas was
moderately active but moved within q
fractional range.
Pittsburgh Plate Glass, Knott Cor
poratiOn, Aluminium Co. of America,
st. Regis Paper, General Alloys, and
Ley 81 Co. we're just few of the indus
trials to move into new low ground in
the first two hours. Trading In the fore
noon, due to the appearance of many
large lots, amounted to 278, 800 shares,
compared with 210,400 shares in the
same period Monday.
The midday rally came without
warning and without any specific news

1t appears unlikely that any con-
gressional hearings will be held before
March 4 on resolutions relating to re-
vision Of the antitrust laws.
There are two resolutions before the
Senate Committee, one by Senator Me-
Kellar and the other by Senator King.
A report to the Senate may be made on
these in the near future, and the Sem
ate Is expected to take affirmative &C.
ton In authorizing a study through
hearings to be held after adjournment
Of Congress.
Present plans indicate the hearings
Will be held before a subcommittee Of
the Judiciary Committee, composed Of
Senators King, Hastings and Robin
son.
The House Judiciary Committee has
held Q hearing on a bill Ito create q
Federal Industrial Commission to aid
industry, agriculture and commerce and
for other purposes" A similar Bill has
been introduced in the Senate.
Chairman Graham of the House
judiciary Committee has introduced O
resolution, referred to the Rules COM
mittee, which calls for an inquiry by
the Judiciary Committee into the
power Of the Congress to establish an
administrative tribunal with authority
to render advisory opinions as to
whether or not submitted commercial
contracts and agreements affecting
interstate commerce are in violation
of antitrust acts and as to the adj
visibility Of the adopting of such q
policy.
ct Il not proposed" says Mr..
Graham, 10 change the antitrust
acts, but rather TO provide D means Of
aiding In their administration for the
benefit Of honest business and to pre-
vent violations of the law without re-
course and tedious and expensive liti-
CATION by the Government or private
individuals. II Congress has the power
to do this the question Is whether 4
new administrative tribunal should be
established or the experiment be made
through the Federal Trade Commission
Whether or not the primary purpose of
the agreement or contract Il to con-
serve natural resource Is a special
and serious question TO be presented
as part OF any submitted proposal"

DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL TEAM TO MEET FIREMEN FRIDAY

In the initial basketball game of the season, the Douglas High school quintet meets the sturdy Islander five squad Friday night.
 Both teams are in the pink of condition and from the results Of the first practice scrimmage play ed last week the game will be a thriller from start to finish.
 Although through graduation last year Cashen and Pettygrove's serv- ices were lost to the high school, the balance, with several new re- cruits, are showing up well under the direction of Coach Rinden.
 The Bremen are practicing twice week and have a snappy outfit lined up in Manning, Bonner, Gray, Niemi, and Hayes.
 Johnson dislocated his shoulder in a recent scrimmage and his services will be lost to the Fire men.
 The high school will pick start ing lineup from the following: Gair, Lundell, Wilson, Niemi, Fox, Guer- in and Cashen.

WAR PROFITS

Gustavus Myers, writing in the New York World about what American captains of in- dustry were doing while our boys were fighting in France, says:
 "The scope of prOfiteering reached into every field. It was computed that corporations in the United States collected a total revenue of $4,800, 0,000, ,000 more a year during the three war years, from 1916 to 1918 than they did in the three pre- war years from 1912 to 1914"

A LOST EVIDENCE

A fisherman was arrested not long since for possession of that heavenly light which gives joy to those who have the jack. " That night a very sociable tune was had by one of the prisoners with his jailor as host-and the famous mountain dew whetting up appetites and the feeling of security and comfort behind the walls of Uncle Sam's stone house. Ten dollars and costs, said lenient judge the next day.
 The next day two men were talking when one said: I hear that a prisoner and the marshal drank up the evidence in Johns case. The quick reply was: Don't know it. It was my booze. The other fellow passed out.

 My thought is that man who is tricky in politics will be tricky in anything else where the inducement is as great, and where he stands an equal chance of covering up. An honest man will be as honest in his political dealings as in other dealings. A political trickster is the last man who should be connected with any degree of responsibility in party management. Pure and honest politics, loyalty and hon. est conduct, fairness and up- rightness and highmindedness should be the course of every one who is in any degree intrust-

The bill was indorsed by the then Secretary of the Interior Lane. Loud protests were heard, and Lane resigned-as did Se- cretary Denby of the Navy, fol- lowing disclosures of his actions concerning refusal to develop coal for use by the navy.
 The bill was introduced in 1921. If it had passed, the Board would be responsible to no one and would have unlimited auth Crity. Further attempts to pass it are expected at any time.
 Through the financial history of Alaska seems to run a trail of strangulation.
 First the Alaska railroad was mismanaged. It cost millions of dollars and failed by far ade- Quately to serve the people of the Territory
 It is the most important artery of the Territory through the richest regions of that vastly rich empire. It was discredited.
 Development Blocked
 Every effort to obtain develop ment of the huge coal fields were blocked.
 Development of the timber industry is being retarded by of f1ciaI action.
 Evidence shows departments are honeycombed with agents O particular interests that might be interested in Alaska
 Is the gigantic plot to prevent development of Alaska based or hope that Congress will create an Alaska Board-With absolute power to sell the Territory?
 The Senate's Alaska committe has vital problem there.
