STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN LOWER TREND
Tax Selling Continues to Play
important Part in
Market.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Di.patch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 29.-Tax SELL
ing. only partially Offset by intermittent
short covering, resulted in an irregu-
larly lower range of prices in today's
stock market. One or two groups re-
sponded to news developments on the
outside, but in the main stocks were
affected by technical conditions and
nothing else.
The usual long list of new lows was
made early in the day, including such
an assorted variety of issues at Beth
lehem Steel, American Smelling g. Re-
filming, Radio, international Telephone
& Telegraph and Montgomery Ward
AS far as Bethlehem Steel was con-
cerned, the offerings, which, by the
way, did not depress the price seriously,
might have been connected with the
court decision holding up the merger
with Youngstown Sheet q Tube, but
it is probable that the stock would have
sold off anyway. In the others, obvi-
ously large losses for income tax pur-
poses could have been established.
Leaders Supported.
The so-called pivotal industrials were
better supported. U. S. Steel opened a
pOl1L QOWIl anu IIleIl IeSdlilSu CIlC 4OoS.
American Can during the morning
ranged higher on the day.
General Motors was steady around
or just above the preceding close.
Standard Oil of New Jersey started in
with a loss of over point and was
the weakest of the group.
Most of the changes in the railroad
list were on the side of decline and
new lows were made by Atlantic Coast
Line, Louisville 81 Nashville and Chicago
& Northwestern. For time the shorts
in Southern Railway covered but when
demand from that source was satisfied
the stock reacted.
Against these losses were moderate
advances in Woolworth, in United Fruit
and for time in Sears Roebuck. In
the last two there is large short in
terest and probably the same applies to
Woolworth Retirement of commit
mentS for the decline helped support
Case and Auburn Auto. Gillette rallied
for the same reason
In two instances news DEVELOPMENTS

per for domestic delivery was advanced
one-quarter cent and Anaconda ran up
point. Local fractions opened to S
points higher on publication of the
terms of the proposed publication plan,
which, it must not be forgotten, will re-
quire legislation to put Into effect. Part
of the gain was lost in the later trad
ing.
Call money renewed at 90 per cent
and was firm at that rate with heavy
calling of loans for year end require
mentS.

Early Market Lower.

Nervous and irregular, the stock mar
ket today had to accept more large
blocks offered to record income tax
losses. The result was a lower range
of prices during the first hour, punctuat-
ed by intermittent rallies. Volume was
higher than during the same perioc for
week past.
New lows were made by such typical
issues as Bethlehem Steel. Montgomery
Ward, International Telephone, Amer
lean Smelling and Western Union
Selling of Bethlehem Steel may have
been connected with the court decision
against the merger with Youngstown
Sheet & Tube, but more probably it was
simply in line with the rest of the
market. United States Steel opened
over a point lower and then recovered
to show gain on the day. Standard
Oil of New Jersey started in down over
a point and then it also rallied. Amer
lean Can stood out strong in an other
wise weak market and General Motors
was steady
The local fractions were all buoyant,

the proposed unif1cation. Brooklyn Man

Graceful contours, the kind of
curves that the 1880 woman wants,
depends upon two things.
First, upon just the right amount
Of flesh. Second, upon perfect mus
cular coordination which comes
from having every part of the body
supple and well-exercised-
You can be reduced by mechani-
cal methods. But unless you Timber
I'D your body, the result will not be
pleasing.
Moreover. unless you. exercise as
you lose weight, your flesh becomes
flabby.
Therefore, / tell women that II
they want to attain grace and the
right weight, they must do two
things.
They must exercise gradually un-
til they can stand enough work to
make them perspire freely. Second,
they must do the kind of exercises
that timber up their joints, and
stretch their muscles until they be-
come pliable and co-ordinated.
The exercise I give today Is the
best single exercise there is for a
start toward these goals. 1t calls
into play 600 muscles, with en-
phasis on the waistline. Arms.
thighs, calves, back, abdomen,
shoulders, all enter in. 1t is done
as follows:
Stand with feet slightly apart,
breastbone we'll up, arms out in
straight line with erect shoulders.
Swing body easily, twist, and bend
forward until the tips of the right
fingers sweep the toes Of the left
shoe. Straighten. Repeat, chang
ing arms, with the left fingers
touching the right toes.
There is a rhythm to this. Take
it easily, slowly, and consistently.
The first morning, try it just few
times. Gradually increase the num-
Der until you can swing, dip.
straighten, swing, dip, straighten
from ten to twenty times. You will
enjoy the way this Stirs the slug
gish blood by working all the con-
tracted knots out of your muscles.
Done mornings and nights, it is

Workers Protest De-
portation

ROCHESTER, Nov. 25.--A we'll at
tended mass meeting was held this
afternoon in protest against the trea-
tened deportation of Guido Serio,
Italian worker, to fascist Italy, which
be equivalent to sending him to death
The speakers Max Stern, district
organizer of the International Labor
Defense, and Tom D'Fazio needle
trades organizer, who played a pro-
minent role in the Passaic Textile
Strike of 1927, charged collaboration

A resolution was unanimously a.
dopted demanding the Unconditional
release of Serio, and pledging to fight
against the deportation of Serio, the
persecution of foreign born workers
and to intensity our fight against
Capitalism until the worker and
farmers of this country shall have
replaced the present capitalist form
of government with one of their own.

One worker gave the reporter a
considerable lecture on the confusion
in the question, pointing out that
there is no left wing Communist and
telling him what the left wing and

TRY STOP DAILY

But It's Growing and
Mighty Fast
by a Worker Correspondent

NDy NOThcF OOTTeSpOnuenLJ
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind wish to
state that I have started regular
route of the Daily Worker here in
this city since Friday, Nov. 14th and
am meeting with good success.
I also wish to report that Indian
apolis Comrades are fighting eviction
cases one right after another. Our
organizer was arrested and is out on
an appeal. The boss courts are fight
ing us but their tactics are making
more militant fighters.
Cops Try Bully Workers.
Two of the comrades and I were
passing out leaflets at the National
Melleable Co. and one of their stool
pigeons carried one of the leaflets
and took it into the Office. In 20
minutes squad car with smuggling
police came up and grabbed a Daily
Worker out of my hand and forced
me and three of the comrades onto
the companies premises and threat
ened us if we did not give our names
and address. Another squad car
came up and surrounded us in the
companies Enclosure. They placed us
under temporary arrest and we de-
manded that they serve papers, they
refused and due to the fact that
workers lined the sidewalk they all
became yellow and finally turned us
loose. The next day at noon we held
our meeting and the yellow coppers
never even bothered us but were
cruising in the neighborhood.
Heard Moore Speak.
We heard Comrade Moore on Soviet
Russia. He spoke last night at the
League Struggle For Negro Rights
Congress. The hall was overcrowded
and all were greatly enthused. We
will probably need an increase in
bundles of the Daily Worker here.
