business Activity
In Seasonal Rise

Although business activity re-
ceded last month to generally low
levels, some evidences have ap-
peared Of seasonal increases dur
ing the first two weeks Of Octo-
ber outstripping last years. Using
the amount Of checks cashed
as an indicator, the Alexander
Hamilton Institute, in its current
weekly bulletin, finds q seasonal
increase Of 1877 per cent for the
first two weeks Of October over
the August-September average as
compared with l2.5 per cent in
1929. The volume Of freight moved,
though well below last years. will
also show a greater per cent of
seasonal increase if the level of
carloadings reported for the first
week Of october is maintained.

The Van Sweringens

The Van Sweringen rails led
the decline in the carriers. Sell
ing converged on Allegheny. the
giant Van Sweringen holding
company. which dropped 8 points
to q new low for the year at
10A. Book value of Allegheny Is
estimated at around 81 share.
The other Van Sweringen stocks
Chesapeake and Ohio, Chesa-
peake Corporation. Nickel Plate,
Missouri Pacific, Pere Marquette
and Erie-were all heavily sold
and all made new lows.
Kansas City Southern, In
which Allegheny has big stock
interest, also was weak.
Decline in these stocks Is q
reflection of rumors circulating
In the financial district for the
past week. At that, I am told
the Van SweringenS still have big
holdings, including SIT ,000, 900 in
Missouri bonds, which are un-
pledged and which they can de-
post as collateral.
Yet Chesapeake and Ohio and
Missouri Pacific have been doing
well this year and far better
than most of the other carriers.
There should be no apprehension
on their score. Erie, Nickel PlaJe
and Pere Marquette have been
badly hit by the decline in rail
road traffic. The chief cause Tor
the rumors is that stocks anq
bonds of these roads are all
''interlocked'' as collateral behind
loans and stock offerings, and
decline in one impairs the other.

Where last fall we were brim-
full of confidence, today we are
afraid of our shadows. and for
this reason The current depres-
sion has continued longer than
the cause warranted, Edward E.
Shumaker, president Of the RCA
Victor Co.. Inc, yesterday de
clared in an address before the
Merchants Association Of New
York.
The stock market, according to
Mr.. Shumaker. is no longer q
barometer Of business, but it is
still permitted to exert o great
influence on the counry, and
therefore on recovery, than should
be permitted. He said:
There was . time when One
could Judge an industry by
the prices at which its stocks
were selling. That Is no longer
true. Stocks with poorest earn.

them never happened.

faction. that the causes for the
present depression have been
removed, and what the people
and business Of our country now
need Is confidence, in order that
we may have an early recovery"
The principal cause for the de.
preston, Mr.. Shumaker continued,
was overconfidence and the be.
lief on the part Of the public and
industry generally that the boom
times Of 1927, 1928 and 1929 would
last indefinitely. He added:
This OvercOnfidence resulted
IN OverexpanSiOn, OverprOduc-
ton and all the attendant evils
to which there was but one an.
sWer-we had to slow down. A
depression was the result, which
was aggravated and has already
continued longer than the cause
warranted, largely because of
the complete change I'm our state
OF mind. Last fan we were
brimful Of confidence. Today
we are afraid Of our shadows"
Mr.. Shumaker expressed the BE-
Lief that the causes for the pres
ent business ills have been re-
moved: that time has effected q
cure and that what we now need
is confidence. He declared:
Confidence begets conf

we need is action instead Of

really nothing wrong with busi-

Racial hatred. infiamed by the employ
ment Of white dancing girls in a
Filipino club here. seethed again in
TIE Santa Clara Valley today as the
result of two clashes at San Jose, in
which one white man was stabbed and
four FilipinoS badly beaten.
The outbreak at San Jose, which
occurred last night, came while armed
patrols were guarding streets and high
ways here to prevent any possible recur-
renee of the fighting which has ragged
intermittently for five days, resulting
in the death of one Filipino, the fog
ging Of several others. and the arrest of
seven white men on rioting charges
Stabbed in Back.
Alfred Johnson, %, was stabbed twice
IN the back and critically wounded
while he allegedly was watching a clash
between Filipinos and whites at San
Jose. There were two fights, two Fill
pinos having been beaten in each.
Police said white men were the agrees
sors in each case.
Discovery of an alleged Filipino
pamphlet called The Torch to which
was attributed the statement that
FlliplnoS have as much right to
American girls as Americans" was re-
ported to peace officers.
The body of Fermin Tehera, %, a
Filipino, was found in a bunk house
east of here yesterday. He had been
shot through the heart. Authorities

Members of the American Legion Joined
peace officers in preserving order.
A few days ago the Northern
Monterey Chamber of Commerce
adopted a resolution protesting against
employment of Filipinos and calling
upon State and Federal authorities to
deport them. Charges that Filipino
workers have deprived white men of
jobs in the fields were said to have
contributed to the i'll feeling.
OF the seven whites charged with
rioting, only one, Fred Majors, was re-
leased. He furnished a $1,000 bond.
The other six, P. Smith, George Barnes
Ramon Davis. George Sias, Charles

were said to be army officers.
1t was furthermore reported that one
of the quartet was commandant of the
Madrid garrison. The police refused
to comment on this report or to divulge
names of any of the prisoners.
Double guards were placed in all
police districts late last night to pre-
vent possible strike disturbances.
