Powers, Carr
and Dalton
Ont on Bail

ATLANTA, Ga, July 9.--M. H.
Powers, Joseph Carr and Mary
Dalton were released on bail Tues
day from Fulton Towers Prison in
Atlanta. These three workers are
the last of the six defendants to
leave their prison cells where they
have suffered persecution at the
hands of the prison authorities and
the threats of lynching by the ku
! Klux Khan of Atlanta.
The bail for these last three de-
PENDANTS was reduced from the
original figure of $4,000 each for
Powers and Carr and $4,000 for
Mary Dalton, to $4,000 for each one
of the three.
"This must not be misinter-
preted," says the International
Labor Defense, which is conducting
countrywide campaign to bring
before the masses of the people the
truth of the Atlanta cases, "as
meaning any relaxation of South
ern bosses in their avowed inten-
ton to railroad the prisoners to
electrocution and to keep Com
munists from the South, and their
real intention to do all they can to
shatter the efforts of the exploited
Southern workers to organize for
better working conditions"
BACK TO ORGANIZING.
"POwers and Carr are now in
Charlotte, North Carolina, as rep
resentatiyes of the Communist
Party and the Young Communist
League, and Mary Dalton, after a
short stay in Charlotte, will go
back TO Atlanta as organizer for the
National Textile Workers.
"The trial of the six Atlanta de-
PENDANTS comes up in September.
Only the preliminary work of de-
Tense has yet been done. Now be-
gins the gravest responsibility, the
real task,-that of collecting de-
Tense funds and to stimulate an
ever growing protest that will force
the release of the defendants.
THREAT FROM PROSECUTOR.
ATLANTA, July elaboration
of six Communists facing trial on
charges of attempting to incite in
surrection "does not mean that the
cases will not be prosecuted with
the utmost vigor," assistant solicit
tor John Hudson, of Fulton County
said today. He will ask the death
! penalty.

COMPLETION Of
5-YEAR PLAN IN
4YEARS CERTAIN
Kuibishev Reports to
18th Congress
(Wireless By Tnprecorr)

(WireLeSs By Inprecorr)
MOSCOW, July 9.-In his report
to the 18th Congress of the Com
munist Party, Soviet Union, on the
Five Year Plan, Comrade Kuibishev
said that, while it took a recon-
struction period of six years for
Soviet Industry to restore the pre-
war level of production, it only re-
CURED two and half years to double
the pre-war level and perhaps an
other year to treble it.
The Five Year Plan provided for
a total increase of $50 per cent of
the pre-war level. The carrying out
of the plan has been so successful
that the actual figures, however,
would be a $50 per cent increase
over the pre-war level.
In the first three years, IL mill
lard rubles are invested as COM
pared with 6.8 millards as provided
in the plan. The capital of the
basic industries has been doubled.
Factories, worth II millard rubles,
are in the process of construction.
Lenin's electrificatiOn plan has been
carried out in 10 instead of Is
years. Twice as much capital is
invested in the electrical industry
this year as last year. The capital
investment next year in this in
dustry will again double that of
this year.
The plan fixed the final figure for
coal production at IS million tons,
but this figure has already been
achieved. The figure fixed for the
fifth year of oil production has also
been achieved. The final figures
for pig-iron production have been
increased from 10 to IL million tons.
In 1928, Soviet Union will be the
first pig-iron producing country in
Europe, second only to the United
States of America.
The chemical industry provides
difficulties as new industry, but
the plan figure for a seven fold in
crease of production will be carried
out. Manufacturing is developing
within the framework of the plan,
though some branches have gone
ahead of the plan while others are
tagging behind, owing to insuffi-
cient supply of raw materials.
Technical cultures, such as cotton,
flax, hemp, etc, must be improved.
Capital investments in engineer.
ing for next year will be doubled.
Agricultural machinery produc-
ton has reached 43O,000,O0O roubles
as compared with 67,000,O00
roubles before the war. In 1881, il
will reach S5O,OOO,OOO roubles, en-
ceeding production in the United
States. Last year, 8 per cent OF
machinery was electrically pro-
PEELED (such as tractors, etc.). Now.
the percentage is "a, and 1880, ii
will be go per cent.
The final figures in the plan con-
corning commodity circulation has
already been achieved. On account
of this, transport, freight car build
ing, ETC., are greatly strained.
In Autumn 1881, the Nishni
NOvgorod autoworks will open with
an annual capacity of producing
100000 autos while the existing
factories will be extended.
Socialism is creating tremendous
new industrial areas, for instance,
the Urals and Siberia. Enormous
increases in trained labor is re-
CURED.
The main factor in the progress
of the Five Year Plan is the new
socialist relation of labor plus
labor enthusiasm of the masses.
The carrying out of the Five Year
I Plan within four years is guaran-
tie

Short covering which appeared
in volume at the opening influ-
enced an advance in prices on
the Chicago Stock Exchange to-
day which carried through al.

Closing gains were generally

COPPER PRICES
FORCED HIGH

NEW YORK, June 40. - Fair
sales Of copper were made today
at 12 cents q pound delivered in
the domestic market.
Large demand for copper that
came in the market bidding for
copper at 1112 cents, delivered,
quickly took all the copper that
was available at that price, and
also cleaned out. all obtainable
at 113z cents, and the market
ended today at IL cent q pound.
Foreign consumers, with do
mestic price back to parity with
foreign, bought in better volume,
and 1900, 900 pounds Of copper
were sold abroad today.
Export sales on wednesday
we're less than 100000 pounds.
Indication is that the price
struck bottom, at least tempora.
rily, Wednesday, when 1t sold at
1l2 cents delivered. The fact
that large producers would not
sell at 111a cents, although bids
for large tonnages at that price
were made, kept the market from
probably going down to IL cents.
Another reduction In payments
to stockholders was recorded to.
day, when directors of the Mag.

quarterly dividend Of 81 q share,
placing the stock on a "a annual
basis, against SIS previously. Div

Discusses Surplus
Young talked before delegates
to the fifty-third annual conven
ton Of the National Electric
Light Association. He was care
full to state at the outset of his
talk that he had no intentions
Of speaking on the specific con
troversies which are now ragin0
In the public utility field.
Young declared that the prob
lem of American surplus was iti
most vital and immediate eco
nomic question.
He considered agricultural sur
plus, industrial service, exportablt
surplus of services. such as teen
nical information, and the surplus
of earnings over expenditures. HI
added:
whether the surplus Is in
wheat, cotton, copper, oil, auto
mobiles or unemployed plants

the standpoint Of large prin.
ciple and general policy.
Must Fix Policy
1--WE must first Of all decide
what our national policy Is to
be with regard to our surplus,
and not until that is done can
we hope to establish measures
Of effective relief for our sur.
pluses in any particular field.
One reason why our thinking
has been confused and our ef,
forts have not been fruitful in
dealing with a particular prob.
lem such as farm relief, is be
cause we have not established q

BENJAMIN M. Anderson, jr., of
the Chase National Bank, of New

the Minnesota Bankers Associa.
ton, discussed the abuse Of bank
credit as a source of capital.
| He stated that during the past
eight years the growth in bank
investments and in bank loans
against stock and bond collateral
has been altogether excessive
Between 1921 end 1928, bond
holdings plus stock and bond
collateral loans of the national
banks increased from ~ per cent
to 55 per cent of their total loans
and investments, while for the
500 odd reporting member banks
in the great cities, the ratio rose
from 46 per cent to a fraction
over so per cent.
Mr.. Anderson also pointed out
that it cannot be good policy to
make money so abundant and sc
easy that it must overflow at this
rapid rate into the securities

Drops as Low Rate Is Aimed
at Weak Commodity Prices

The New York rediscount rate
was slashed to az per cent yes
terday in what was understood
to be an unique attempt to stirnu-
late buying and stop the fall Of
commodity prices.
This rate is the lowest in the
16-year history of the Reserve
system.
Loans Off S211, 900, 900
At the same time a reduction
Of $211. 100000 in brokers' loans
of Federal Reserve members dur
ing the week was announced.
This is the largest drop in such
borrowings since the present
downward tendency set in at the
end Of April.
One Of the first effects Of the
announcement of the rate re-
duction was a general down
ward revision in bankers accept
ance rates Of u of / per cent to
2As per cent bid, 2 per cent asked.
This is the lowest level for bills
in several years.
Likelihood that a number Of
other Reserve banks and some
of the central banks Of Europe
will follow New York'S lead was
seen in quarters close to the Re-
serve Board. 1t is known that
such a probability was consid-
cred within the system, and the
great banks have long main
tanned a close contact in rate
changes.
All Nations Affected
| Ina ddition, the downward
movement of commodity prices
has affected all important COM
mercial countries, officials pointed
| out, making their interests sub
stantially identical.
The New York cut, from the
three per cent rate in effect for
the last six weeks. Is understood
to have been aimed at this gem
eral situation, rather than q spe.
cific condition in the New York
district. The idea was stated to
have originated with the New
York directors, however, with the
Reserve Board yielding its sup
port and approval.
Many officials are understood
to regard the step as essentially
experimental. They do not ant1c-
| ipate miraculous results. B u {
it is believed that an exceedingly
low rate, especially If extended
to a number Of great buying cen
ters, will lend certain stimulus
to commodity purchases and thus
make its effect felt in the price
level.
