CURB STOCKS GAIN
ON BETTER BUYING
Volume of Trading Rer"ainS
SmaII-PoWer Issues
Higher.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 13-Breaking out
Of the mixed trend that marked initial
dealings, the Curb Exchange moved
higher today, without, however, attract
ing substantial volume of business.
Retirement OF the utilities in the Lon
don market improved many of the power
and light issues, including Electric Bond
g. Share, Middle West Utilities, Cities
Service and American Superpower.
Disappointment was expressed by
specialists ana traders because Cities
Service failed to do better marketwlse
after its good earning report for 1880.
Two notable exceptions to the generally
better tone of International utilities dur
ing forenoon dealings were Shawingan
Water & Power and International SUI
perpower, both of which were down a
point.
Northwest Yeast, with an initial rise
of points. scored a new high for the
year. Pilot Radio & Tube and Saxet Co.
featured radio and natural gas shares,
respectively, with gain of point eac.l
to their best levels for the year.
Opening Of the Detroit Air Show was
uSSQ as an incentive LOT putting up
many of the aviation securities. This
movement was aided by favorable re-
ports from the trade and further en-
couraged by specific corporate develop
mentS Douglas Aircraft quickly moved
ahead a point and Cord Corporation
improved more because of aviation than
OF motor news about that company.
President E. L. Cord, commenting on
price reductions on Stinson Aircraft,
said present production did not warrant
such quotations, but he believed the low
cred levels would attract buying and
thereby reduce costs of manufacture per
unit.
Gulf Oil suffered the widest decline
In miscellaneous oils in the first several
hours, while Humble, with a rise of "a
point enjoyed the best upward move in
the Standard Oils. Pipe lines remained
dull.
Ford Motor, Ltd, rights, which usual
1y were quoted at 1872, their minimum
price, featured the motors in point of
volume, though Cord Corporation and
Stutz registered the best forward moves
early in the session. Perfect Circle
was up small fraction in the accessory
group.

Departments Of Associated properties have
vigorously concentrated their sales efforts
on appliances that produce comfort and
savelabor. .refrigerators, radios, ranges,
water heaters, lamps 1870 more of
these appliances were sold in 1880 than
the year before.
Low energy rates have been established
throughout practically all properties Of
the System, making possible full use of
electricity and gas at moderate cost. These
rates, plus buying power that is above
average, should result in continued
wider use of electricity and gas in AS
sociated counties.
200 NeV Industries
Output gain has been aided by the As
ISOLATED System policy of cooperating
with civic and business organizations in
developing and attracting new industry
to Associated territory. During 1929 and
1880 there were 29o new manufac-
turing concerns established in Asso-
ciated areas /. SIS served by the
System expanded their facilities.
Rapidly increasing use of electric

stable earnings for the holders of
Associated securities. The number of
registered holders is larger than for
any other gas and electric company.
Nearly half of them are customers
and employees of the System.

TROUBLE LOOMS As ID DISPOSITION IF LATE
 THOMAS EDISON WILL

NEW YORK, Nov, 4, (P)-Ad-
 ditional information made known
 here as to the disposal of the es-
 tate of Thomas A. Edison, inven- tor, reveals that he left the bulk
 of his estate to his two younger sons, Charles and Theodore Edi- Fson, filing of the will for probate revealed.
 No estimate was made of the
 size of the estate but it was learn ed that the Edison Industries In corporated, in which the inventor centered his holdings, had an es- timated value of from seven to 10 million dollars.
 There were no bequests to char ity or religious organizations but the 19 acre Edison home in Lew ellyn Park, East Orange, previous ly was given to Mrs. Edison. With three minor exceptions the resi- duary estate was left to Charles and Theodore Edison with the provision that they, as executors, divide it among the six children when it shall be deemed judici- ous".
 The other four children, Thom- as A. Edison Jr., Mrs. Marion Oser, Mrs. Madeline Sloan and William Edison, were not snen- toned specifically.
 Charles Edison announced that Harvey Firestone, Henry Ford and the six Edison children have formed a company to exploit syn thetic rubber, the last invention of MT. Edison. At present the of rubber by synthetic means is not profitable
 Later William Edison, second l son of Thomas A. Edison by his first wife, announced that he will 1 enter suit to break the inventors l will under which the bulk of his $12,0O0.000 estate is left to Charles Edison and Theodore Edison, who are sons by the second wife.
 William Edison attacked the will as unfair and was especially vehement in denunciation of the codicil execution July 30 of this year. This codicil gives Charles and Theodore, who are executors of the estate, power to decide how much and when the children of the first marriage can have funds. William Edison alleges his fathers rowers had waned at the time of the codicil's signature and charges the inventor had been subjected to undue pressure by his wife and by Charles Edison.
 While William Edison stated he would not be alone in making the contest he would not say which member of the family would join him.
 Thomas A. Edison Jr.. eldest brother and Mrs. J. E. Sloan. his half sister, denied they intended to dispute the will. Mrs. M. Oser would not say anything and 1t is believed possible she may join her brother William in the court bat

fascist methods and inperialist war
and the revolutionary answers to
this capitalist offensive by the inter-

in Northwest Bronx
TWO and Icor Groups
Growing; Activities
Need Broadening

The Northwest Bronx is a heavily
populated district of which Jewish
workers form majority. There i
a crying need for much greater and
more intensive activity, particularly
in combating Zionisln and national
chauvinism, which are allied with
social fascism. Many backward
workers are still victims Of these de-
lusions and the International Work
ers' Order Branch. as well as the
Icor Committees, have huge field
OF activity which challenges our rev.
dictionary energy and enthusiasm,
This district contains two impor-
tant residential developments, the
Sholom Aleichem and the Amalga-
mated Houses, and in spirit Of
Bolshevist self criticism it must be
stated that our left-wing organiza-
tons are inclined to limit their &C
tivities within the narrow confines
of these two Houses" neglecting en-
tirely the thousands of workers re-
siding all about them.
1. w. o. Growing.
However, on the positive side. it
may be stated that much progress
has been made. The International
Workers Order, Branch No. 1873,
which is less than year old, started
with a small group and has now a
membership of 76, and still increas-
ing. Every important left-wing ac-
tiyity is supported financially as we'll
as morally.
The branch has already contrib
uted nearly 5000 to the Daily Fret
heit, and through special monthly
payment plan will increase this sum
substantially. The branch has also
given financial aid to the Daily
Worker
There are two very active Icor
Committees, one in the Sholom
Aleichem House, havin ga member
ship of 100, and another in the
Amalgamated Houses with men,
bersl1ip of 60. Both committees are
meeting successfully the financial
quotas assigned them. In fact the
Sholom Aleichem Committee is one
of the strongest in New York. The
Amalgamated Icor Committee has
made great progress in the past year,
practically doubling its membership.
However, much work is still to be
done and the comrades must put
their shoulders to the wheel TO Gre
ate a virile left-Hing movement in
this most important section. What
is now essential is more close CO.
operation between the various or
CARNATIONS.

lBy a WORKER Correspondentl


BRONX, N Y-The conditions in
Olympia Cafeteria at 235 Willis Ave,
are becoming worse day by day. The
workers working under. miserable
conditions, II hours "a day and six
and a half days a week. The bosses
continue to cut the wages and TO
speed up on the workers.
The workers learned about the
Food Workers Industrial Union. They
began to understand that in order to
better their conditions they must be
organized and fight for it.
Elect shop Committee.
The woc,.o~S OF Olympia Cafeteria
got tageJher and called upon the
Food WORKERS Industrial Union to as
5!st them. They elected a shop chair
man and a shop committee. De-
mands were worked out with the
union and presented the boss. The
boss refused to grant the demands.
After militant conduct of the workers
which lasted only two hours. the
workers went back to work under
union conditions. with recognition of
the union and shop committee.
The bosses could not swallow so
easily the force of the workers i'm
posed upon them, and. after two
weeks the bosses discharged the whole
shop committee. The workers re-
sponded like one and went out on
strike. The bosses tried various
means in order to break the unity
of the workers. They went to the
homes of the workers in order to
persuade them individually, telling
them that this is Red union and
that they will lose their jobs. But
the tricks Of the bosses failed. Then
the bosses tried to terrorize the work.
ers like all bosses do. with the help
of the police and company union.
The police even went to a coffee pot
where the strikers used to dine and
demanded that they should not be
served any meals. They tried to get
the assistance of churchgoers, telling
them that the strikers are so bad
that they picket even on Sunday
The reply of the strikers was that
they are fighting for six-day week,
while the bosses want them to work
seven days in order to make more
profit
The strikers we're determined to
fight against all obstacles in their
way and win their demands. They
have learned that the Food Workers
Industrial Union is based upon the
ranks Of the workers and fights mill
family for their interests.
After two weeks of struggle, the
workers forced the bosses to renew
the agreement.
The workers gained a six-day week,
nine-hour day and So increase in
wages.
