TRADING IN STOCKS
LARGELY TECHNICAL
Professional Operators Take
Control of Market, With
Bears Having Edge.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, August 21.-The new
est baby bull market ran into difficult
ties today and stock trading degenerated
into a contest for control of the price
movement between opposing groups of
professional traders with the bearishly
inclined making the better score.
Most of the orders originated with
floor traders and neither selling nor
buying appeared in any appreciate
volume from what Wall Street calls the
best people" meaning large investors
and important banking interests. Trad
ing was again stagnant.
Bears succeeded in puncturing a few
soft spots in price fabric, particularly in
the rails and Specialties. Most of the
pivotal shares huctuated within a
range of a point or less from last
nights closing levels, although there
were few breaks of several points.
Razor Stocks Down.
The safety razor stocks again proved
vulnerable, both Gillette and Autostrop
losing more than 7. Rails generally
declined l to 5. Southern Railway
reaching the lowest price in six years;
Illinois Central, the lowest in five, and
Baltimore & Ohio the lowest in four.
Shares declining 2 to 4 included Va
nadium, Westinghouse Electric, East
man. Auburn, American Tobacco b,
National Biscuit, Air Reduction and
American Smelling. Losses OF point
or so embraced most of the important
stocks by early afternoon.
What was characterized IN many
quarters as bear propaganda appeared
in the form of various uncomfortable
rumors, one having to do with the
financial condition of an important
company, into which prominent bank
ers have recently placed several millions
after a thorough investigation, which
they say convinces them that the con-
Germ is in q sound and promising con-
dition.
Better Conditions FOreseen.
Publication of the results of a poll
of the country's bankers, showing two
thirds looking for good business by Oc-
tober. was used as a bull argument in
sending stocks temporarily higher dur
ing the morning A private survey of
business prospects made for the off,

Gated that signs of improvement are
already apparent, and that business will
return to normal early next year. A
private survey conducted by Nation
wide Utility System has also resulted
in similar conclusions.
Call money renewed at 2 per cent
for the first time since August IL and
was available in the outside market at
IL per cent. Easy money is expected
until the Labor day currency demands
of about $75,000,000 make themselves
felt.

Columbus, O., April 22.-Tales
of heroism and of costly hesitancy
were told today within the grey
grim walls of the Ohio peniten-
tiary where 81 convicts, locked in
their cells, were burned to death
and suffocated early last night in
one of the most life destroying
fires in American history.
AS the guards and inmates OF
the prison recounted the vivid de-
tails of the disaster, an official
state commission appoined by Gov
ernor Cooper sought to learn what
caused the blaze and why the
locked-in prisoners were not lber-
ated in time to escape.
In the horticultural building at
the state fair grounds, scores OF
undertakers worked untiringly to
prepare the victims for burial.
The identity of 276 of the dead
convicts had been established
The others, trapped in their fire
bound cells, were so badly burned
that Identification was almost i'm
possible.
Convict heroes and prison guarc
heroes were described time anc
again today by the hundreds OF
inmates who escaped death. These

JACOB HANSEN
OF COALRDCE
DIED TUESDAY

Jacob Hansen, one of the pio-
neer homesteaders of the Coal
ridge country, died at his home
after a two months illness from
cancer. The funeral was held
from the home on the farm near
Coalridge Thursday afternoon at
200 o'clock, and interment made
at the Dagmar cemetery.
Jacob Hansen was a respected
and honored citizen. He was born
in Vyle, Denmark, October 9Th,
1862. When a young man he mar
ried and he and his good wife
come to America, settling near
Bemidji, Minnesota. Several child
rem were born to them. In 1911
he came to Montana and took a
homestead at Coalridge and built
a house. In 1912 he brought out
the family, where they have since
made their home.
The deceased leaves a wife and
children to mourn his death: one
son living in Spokane, Wash, and
another in Los Angeles.

vidual had no "unalienable right"
to procure and consume liquor. He
urged that campaign of education
regarding the evils of liquor be
launched, saying there had been
little education effort since the
adoption of the amendment.
1T is not too late to begin such
campaign of education concern
in gthe evils of Intoxicating IL
quor," Wickersham told the edi-
tors. "The abuses and the misery
that attended the long history Of
the efforts to regulate the produce
tion and use of alcoholic drink,
and the failure of those efforts,
on the one hand, while on the 9th
er, the triumphant demonstration
of the value of splendid youth I'M
poisoned by alcohol, furnished by
our citizen soldiery in the World
war, present a contrast that did
and no doubt still will convince
the people of the great evils of
the liquor traffic and the immeas-
urable benefit Of national temper
ance."
The chairman appealed to the
editors to "aid in demonstrating
that so long as the law stands as
it now does, no patriotic American
should advocate flouting its pro-
visions or Boosting of violating It's
commands"

Farmer-Laborite
Too Tame Now

st. Paul-FP-A new line of
attack against the Minnesota
Farmer-LabOr party is being de-
velOped by the old guard follow
ers of the Republican party i'm
the state. Instead of denounc-
ing the Farmer-LabOrites as
bOlshevilxs and free lovers as il
used TO do, the party of reaction
is declaring that the One-time
prOgressives have gone cOnser-
vative and are not really worth
voting for by enlightened citi-
zens any more. Commenting ON
the change of attack, III. G.. Tel
gan, a veteran Farmer-LabOr
campaigner and secretary to
Magmus Johnson during John
sons senatorial term in Wash
mgtOn, says:
'fIn 1918. Chas. A. Lindbergh
and his associates on the Non
PARTISAN League slate were at
tackled as pro- Germans, dislOy-
alists and traitors. In 1920,
Henrik Shipstead was denOunc-
ed as desiring to usher IN a So
cial system of free love, home
wrecking and atheism. OF
course, there was nothing in the
platform in either year TO justi-
fly these charges, but the pr0pa-
ganda succeeded.
''In 1922 these bogus issues of
the old gang had become stale
and the G. o. p. found itself
compelled to face real issues. AS
a consequence, Kellogg, Vol
stead and Steenersen met defeat
at the hands of the Farmer-La-
bOrites. Shipstead, whose house
at GlenwOOd had been painted
yellow in 1918 and whose cam
paign in 1920 was bounded by
patriotic mObs, triumphed in
1922 as did Kvale and Wefald.
"The Farmer-LabOr movement
is still champiOning the cause of
the farmers and workers. It's
program is the same as in 1918,
though there has been change
in phraseOlOgy and arrange
ment of the party's case against
the plunderbund and its political
satellites"

mere is no greater need
confronting the farmers of
Northeastern Montana to-
day than funds to buy gas
and oil with which to oper-
ate their tractors.
The Producers News has taken
the lead in demanding seed, gas
and oil loans from the government
and it must be said that Senator
Wheeler has responded to every
request made by The Producers
News.
Considerable complaints are
heard from the farmers who have
made applications for seed loans.
The blame should not be placed on
the county agent here or on the
committee appointed to make rec

made.
Government To Blame.
The blame rests solely with the
government which could afford to
return $165,000,0O0 in income tax
to the big corporations but has no
money to spare for the poverty
stricken farmers.
The big banks in the East are
bursting with money. They are
loaning hundreds of millions to
Europeans countries who are US
ing the funds to buy arms for war
against Russia. The money in the
vaults of those banks has been
sucked from the farms. The little
country banks have been drained
dry and they are not in position
to make loans to the farmers as
hitherto. The farmer no longer
can get a loan on his land. His
land seems to be worthless. He
cannot get a loan on his crop. The
machinery trust may take it all.
He is in the position of a beggar.
What is the government doing for
him? Nothing.
Plenty For Robbers
The Producers News believes
that government that spent $49,-
OOO,OO0,OOO killing the Germans
as fine a people as there is on this
earth-and lent $12,00O,000,OO0 to
the English-a race of imperialist
robbers-could find a few billions
to solve the problems of the farm
ers, or at least give them temper
airy relief.
What about government loan
on the next seed crop at a low
rate of interest-say per cent
! Does the government want t.
make a profit on the farmers? 1
