STOCKS DEPRESSED
ON PROFIT TAKING
Technical Reaction Causes
Losses of Several Points
in Leading Shares.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.

NEW YORK. July 21-Mutiny in the
ranks of the bull forces threw share
prices into retreat in todays stock mar
ket interrupting the irregular advance
of the past few weeks. which had re-
taken about third of the ground lost
between early April and late June,
The new bull recruits demanded
something more substantial than the
frothy pabulum of forecasts of business
improvement. But as the month of
July is normally barren period in
the business year their demands we're
not met. Profit taking and renewed
bear forays drove share prices gPner-
ally to points lower. Trading. how
ever was in moderate volume Today's
reaction had been foreshadowed on
Saturday.
Commodities Lower.
Reactionary tendencies in the grain
and cotton markets discouraged the
bull leaders from offering aggressive
resistance to the decline. but broker
age house gossip had it that bull pools
were extending their holdings by pur-
chases on scale down. The selling was
for the most part well absorbed. A
reaction of at least technical proper
tions might be expected at this stage
of an advance, and bulls were not con-
cerned.
News appearing over the week end
for the most part only served to delin-
cate more clearly the current quiet in
industry Reports generally Indicated,
however that retail trade was holding
up relatively well for this time of year.
The first of the large railway systems
to report for June was Chesapeake SC
Ohio, which showed a decline in gross
operating income of 81 per cent from
the like month of a year ago, somewhat
in excess of the decline for the entire
first half year, which was Ga per cent.

Forrest Knight, IS, 1900 block
Ingleside Ter. N. W., was arrested
last night by police of the Sixth
precinct at the Union Station
after friends, apprehensive for
his safety, had told the police
the man was carrying a loaded

He was later charged with
carrying a concealed weapon by

is first alleged to have pointed the
revolver at the policeman's stom-

NEW YORK CITY'S play producers find tough

ticket brokers who have bought the best seats weeks

Such complaint is great joke, inasmuch as the
producers have been hand in hand with the brokers
and have shared in the plumber.
The speaking stage has been injured by the pro-
ducers themselves by charging twice much as they
hould 81 for 81 seat, and they have further put
heir business upon the toboggan by giving it over

had to put on gas masks.
The way to restore the speaking stage to public

NeighbOr Quotas

Representative Box of Texas has revived his ten
year-old fight to place Mexican immigration upon a
quota basis The original Box bill would have admit
TED an estimated $500 to 5000 Mexicans year; the
new bill approximately 1900.
The new bill applies to Canada and other coun-
tries of the western hemisphere. But it provides spe
cal restrictions against persons ineligible to citizen
ship and those who do not habitualy speak the Eng
lish language which would strike directly at the Mex

Chairman Johnson of the house immigration COM
mittee has companion measure. determined effort
is being made to force action on the other or
a compromise measure, this session.
Some sort of limitation, effective than has
applied in recent years ought to be placed upon
the horde of peon labor that has been coming in from
Mexico Ultimately it may be necessary to establish
quota.
But there are other problems which ought to be
considered before we rush blndly into quota fixing.
The state department, for example, insists that
restricting immigration from neighbor countries
probably would disturb seriously our somewhat newly
acquired friendly relations with Latin-American ma
tionals.
And there is the problem of labor supply for south
western farmers who have built up their operations
with Mexican help and who insist that if the supply
is cut off disaster would follow.
Possibly this fear is exaggerated. Possibly there
are enough MaXcans already in southwestern states
to supply this need. Possibly also-and reports from
investigators for this newspaper indicate it is true
exploiters of labor taking advantage of the farm
ers need and Mexicos immigration status to import
an industrial supply of cheap labor.
We ought not fix arbitrary quota limitations until
know the facts
To forestau Mexican quota restrictions the state
department last year instructed its consuls in Mexico
to apply to MeXcans the same regulations issuance
of visas apply to European nationals. Simultaneous
~ the immigration service frightened border restric
tons
AS a result Mexican immigration has been cut
half. At Ell Paso admissions have been reduced to
one-siXth of the old figure. If Ell Pasos method of
application applied along the entire border Mexi-
can immigration could be cut to 10000 or 10000 a
year.
Before any new restrictive legislation is enacted a
request from recent southwestern farm conference
should be carried out-that an unprecedented commits
sion be named to make thorough study of the facts
and the probable results.

N of New York has called upon
President Hoover and urged him to
sponsor a law for poisonous
denaturants in industrial alcohol. 1t
so happens that Congressman Siro-
vich is a doctor, and his advice
should be considered carefully by
the President.
The strongest argument put for
ward in behalf of Herbert Hoover
during the campaign was the as
sertion that there was a man we'll
versed in large affairs, who would
give America government by experts.
This claim has been made good,
at least. in part. Following the
Wall Street collapse, the President
summoned the leaders in each great
industry, so business should be
stabilized.
The problem of poisonous or non
poisonous denaturants is problem
of public health. Accordingly, it is
not fitting that the executive deci-
sion in such a matter should be
largely influenced by little corn belt
lawyers, or bishops of the Methodist
church.
These gentlemen have their vir-
tues, but not one of them can
qualify as an expert on the question
of public health, which most dis
tinctly is the business of the adj
ministration.

PeriIed in Many Ways

I'M the other side of the picture
~ looms that colored brother
from the West Indies who arrived
in New York only a short time ago
with a swollen knee and collected
damages in no less than twelve
suits against various transportation
companies, by claiming it to have
resulted from as many different
falls.
Those who elude the auto, or es-
cape falling into an open manhole,
still run a big chance of being shot
by thugs. or dry agents, and if they
don't succumb to that unhappy
fate, the racket still remains.
The homes of Jesse L. Lasky,
famous motion picture producer, ana
Of his sister, Mrs. Blanche Lasky
Turnbull, are being guarded by Off
GERS, because of death threat
recently made against them.
The threat merely stated, "You
are going to be killed--shot. Be-
ware"
No one would take such a threat
seriously, except for the fact that
confidence in law enforcement has
broken down.
Though we have more courts than
ever before, more peace officers with
guns in their hands, more taxes to
maintain the judicial system, there
never was a time when average
people felt so insecure in the face
of threats, thugs and racketeers.

ranks of the working men. Both old parties have
learned that the political threats of labor leaders
are of little moment.
IF American labor desires to put labor congress
under the dome Of the Capitol there is only way
to do it, That is to organize real labor party AS
long as the average laborers political loyalty stands
apart from his economic loyalty the political power
Of labor is bound to be hamstrung
VINO is a Republican or Democrat in
politics and an organized laborer in economic life
is bound to waver between his loyalty to his party
and his devotion to his union. When he is ordered
to vote contrary to his political affiliations his
partisan prejudices may override his economic
interests
With labor party in the field this confusion
would disappear.
A leading argument used by Gompers against a
labor party was the power of the supreme court to
set aside legislation This would destroy progressive
legislation enacted by any congress in control of a
labor party-but the same would hold true Of the
work of Republican or Democratic congress influ-
enced by organized labor.
Still further the supreme court bench is filled
by presidential appointment. Nine judges appointed
by a series of labor Presidents would be likely to
decide cases with as much friendlness toward labor
as the present bench bestows upon capitalism and
individUalism.

One More Reason

One more reason for constitutional con-
vention in this state to rewrite the charter
of liberty is found in the threat OF the judi
ciarv to invade the right Of free speech ana
freedom of the press through the use OF IN
functions
The first move is made in another state
But judicial encroachments upon other de-
partments of government have the CHAR
acteristics of a meningitis epidemic. Iney
spread rapidly and they destroy utterly.
The Constitution Of every state and oil
the United States plainly prohibits the legls-
lature from enacting any law to limit Tree
speech or freedom of the press.
Now great aggregations Of capital assert
that the courts have the power to prevent
newspapers and magazines from publishing
articles which Judges may believe are milan
matory of public opinion.
From the capitalistic viewpoint any
article that would arouse resentment against
the plumber of the public would be inflam-
matory.
The courts of this state have gone far IN
reaching out for power. They have gone very
lar IN Jdklig ON6i ICSioie'OifS "@iiN
extent, executive functions.
In establishing the rule for contempt OF
court in this case, they have asserted that
truth is no defense for an editor or pubhc
speaker who dares to denounce judicial IN
justice.
The method by which Judges are elected
turns every candidate into a politician. He
must first make his peace with political lead
ers of his own party. He must satisfy them
of his regularity He must to certain eX-
tent disqualify himself before he can qualify.
To win at the polls he must go farther.
He is expected to support every candidate on
his ticket even though he may know the can
didate to be crooked venal, vicious and UNI
worthy.
It is small wonder tha' Judges obtained
by this method should reach out for power
and show small respect for the fundamentals
of liberty.
1t is small wonder that judges elected by
such procedure see nothing wrong and out
rageous in overthrowing the Constitution.
The one way to change this system is
through constitutional convention which
will limit very plainly the powers of judges.
They have decided that they can not be
impeached and can serve as long as they
keep out of Jail. They may be expected to go
farther.
A reform of the judiciary is necessary
to maintain any respect for law or courts.
And the chance to get a new Constitution is
here.
