SETBACK IN STOCKS

Secondary Reaction Carries
Many Issues Down One
to Four Points.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,


NEW YORK, October 1.-THE stock
market once more took the familiar
downward course today that it often
finds leading. down from the tops of
such abrupt rises as that Of yesterday.
After further extension of the adj
vance In the opening transactions, in
and-out traders rushed to take profits,
and a large portion of the ground
gained during the one-day advance was
lost. Selling, in the main, however,
was In moderate volume.
Extent Of Decline.
Stocks declining points or more
included United States Steel, General
Electric, Anaconda, Consolidated Gas,
American Telephone, Paramount, Amer

Stocks losing 4 to 6 included Inter-

conspicuous weak spot, tumbling

weak feature yesterday, was well sup

was fairly steady.
Weakness in United Fruit reflected
a sharp slump in third quarter earn
ings, attributed to an oversupply OF
fruit and vegetables in both the United
States and Europe during the Summer.
It was pointed out, however, that the
oyersupply of domestic fruits normally
clears up in the Fall and the banana
business improves. Farm implements
also were under sharp pressure, Inter
national Harvester breaking below 90,
last Novembers minimum. The grain
markets, nevertheless, continued to re-
fleet the improved buying apparent re-
Gently.
Only for a short time after announce
ment of the failure of curb market
house did large-scale selling appear in
this market. This failure, however. was
regarded as of q minor nature, pre-
sumably an aftermath of the Sisto fall
ure on Tuesday.
Market Closely Watched.
Traders, however, were obviously an
willing to attempt to push farther such
a violent upswing as that of yesterday.
An occasional abrupt technical rebound
is an expected development in de-
clining market. Traders watched closely
the action of stocks as they approached
the low points of the decline, mostly
recorded on Tuesday.
While most of the web known mar
ket averages or price indices have not
as yet approached the low levels of last
November, compilation shows that a
little more than half of the total num-
Der of active shares have recently
broken through the November resist

HIGH COURT TO
REVIEW PAINT
ERS' WAGE CASE

Washington ULNS) - The wage
case of the Barker Painting Co. of
New York against Local 734 of the
Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators
and Paperhangers of America will be
reviewed by the supreme court The
case involves application of union
rule providing that when contractor
does work outside of his home city
he shall pay whichever scale of wages
is higher.
The record showed that the prevail
ing rate at the time the work was to
be done was So day in Somerville,
n. j., and $10.50 in New York. The
company sought to prevent enforce
ment of the rule by petition for in
junction to the district court of New
Jersey. An appeal was taken to the
circuit court of appeals for the Third
circuit, which sustained the order of
the district court.
Attorneys for the union contended
in opposing review by the supreme
court, that the case was moot" for
the reason that the work contracted
to be done by the painting company
was finished before the proceedings
reached the circuit court.

Employers More Willing Than
Ever Before to Abandon Pay
Cuts, Labor Federation Finds

Washington ILNS)-"Never be-
fore have manufacturers been SO gen
orally willing to abandon wage reduc-
tion as means of reducing expense"
the January Monthly Survey of Busi-
ness Of the American Federation of
Labor says 1t adds that the action
of the manufacturers Indicates a
fuller realization of the part working
men and women play in the nations
prosperity"
The survey finds that unemploy-
ment is less than in 1927 but that
idleness of trade union members in
creased considerably in the fall
months. 1t says:
Unemployment was bound to fol-
low the stock crash. There has been
considerable increase in the number
laid off by manufacturing plants, but
on the whole the decline in employ
ment has not been as great as in 1927
or other recent recessions. Doubtless
the presidents conferences have
helped to prevent lay-offs.

sion that brought the three shir

Having government help in theil
construction program they had the
effrontery to seek government help il
holding wages down in the face of the
biggest ship-building period since the
World War. Last years construction
total ran 22.3 per cent ahead of the
previous year and, with the new fig
ures in hand, 1880 will beat 1929 by
wide and profitable margin.
Eases Way to Get Skilled Mechanics
As the Marine Engineering and
Shipping Age expresses it, the vol
ume of business on hand fair exceeds
that delivered.
BY holding down government wages
the private yards make it easier to
take from government service the
highly skilled men they will need,
without giving to those men the
wages warranted by the condition of
the industry. The private yards are
happy in finding the government will
ing to forego wage increases at this
crucial moment.
But, of equal interest, even if not
of equal Importance, the secretary of
the navy, Charles Francis Adams, of
Boston, appeared to be in absolute
disagreement with President Hoover.
who, at almost the moment of
Adams repressive decision, was de-
claring for more prosperity through
purchasing power.
The total Importance of checking
wages is shown in total ship-building
figures. Tonnage now under construc-
ton represents an increase of 244 per
cent over that under way at the close
of 1923. Sixty-three yards were active
during 1929, compared with forty-one
in 1928, fifty-one in 1927 and fortv-
one in 1926.

If the construction program goes
through as forecast and planned, pri
vate yards will have need of greatly
enlarged forces and will, it is pointed
out, find their victory over the navy
yard employees in the wage battle OF
tremendous monetary value.
Under the Jones-White act, stimu.

twenty new ships are under construc-
ton. Trade union officials had given
forty as the maximum number OF
ships to be laid down in 1880, and
they had estimated the Importance

fight accordingly. But it now is
known, through the Marine Engineer
ing and Shipping Age, that plans and
specifications have been made for
fifty-one ships which will carry mail
and benefit under the Jones' White act.
Awarding of mail contracts to the
lines for which these ships are to be
built will hasten their construction.
United Private Interests Fight Raise
Early in December the metal
trades department of the American
Federation of Labor issued state
ment in which it said that the follow
ing three men had appeared before
the navy wage board of review to
oppose all increases in wages of civil
ian navy yard employees:
H. G. Smith, president of the Ma
tional Council of American Ship
builders;
Fred C. Metcalf, representative of
the California Metal Trades Associa-
ton;
George j. Earl, representative of
the New York and New Jersey Dry
Dock Association and the New York
and New Jersey Metal Trades Asso-
ciatoin
No Further Progress Possible
No progress was made by the metal
trades department toward securing
wage increases after these three men
appeared before the board. Ultimate
ly Secretary of the Navy Charles
Francis Adams ruled that there would
be no change from the 1929 scale of
wages, though the metal trades de-
partment announced that at what
might seem an opportune moment ap-
plication would be made for a re-
opening Of the wage hearings.
At that time it was known that
twenty ships were under construction
under Jones-White act provisions, but
it was not known that plans had been
made for as many as fifty-one vessels
of major proportions for the mail
carrying lines. That puts a new en-
phasis on the Importance of the mis-

FREE SPEECH
Denied By Pittsburgh Fac
ulty, Is Charge

Durham, N. C.-Repression of free
speech by the University of Pitts
burgh was charged in a report to the
American Association of University
Professors in convention here.
The occasion of the inquiry was
the wide publicity given last April
to the abolition Of the Liberal Club
and the dismissal of L. w. Woltman
graduate assistant in philosophy, by
university authorities. The action
against the club followed an attempt
to hold Mooney Billings meetings,
which had been prohibited by the uni
versity.
The report said that the grounds
for Woltman's dismissal had not been
definitely stated, but the committee
inferred that the action was taken
because of his activities in writing
and speaking against alleged violence
of state and private police during
recent coal strikes, and for making
public the university's disapproval of
his activities.
Dean Sieg, of the university, was
represented by Woltman as assert
ing that "the chancellor of the uni
versity depends on wealth for financ-
ing the cathedral of learning and for
running the university, and he cannot
permit anything to happen which
might antagonize those wealthy inter
ests or individuals"

Unemployment in trade unions in
creased considerably from November
to-. December. Unemployment has
risen steadily since August and for
the last three months has been higher
than at this time last year. Twelve
per cent of union members in "a
cities were out of work in November
and 16 per cent in Decmeber. The
largest increase was in the building
trades, where the dull season has
come month earlier this year. Un-
employment in December was 81 per
cent of membership, as compared to
% per cent in November. These are
not unusual figures for building un-
employment in winter, but if next
months increase is as large as last
yaer, the condition will be serious"

ment figures from more unions than
previously and regards the statistics
as representative Of conditions among
the ranks of organized workers.
