New York, May 20-U. P.) - Deprived of their principal support through elimination of much of the short interest last night and again at the opening, stocks resumed their downswing in the afternoon trading to-day.
 Although selling was scattered and concentrated on few issues. it was of sufficient volume to carry the en- tire market below previous closing levels after small advances had been scored in the early trading.
 Failure of the early advance to carry over into the afternoon trad ing was regarded by the professional traders as an indication that early strength largely represented short covering. This belief encouraged fur ther attacks on special shares, which carried many of them to further bear market low ground.
 American Telephone was feature of the latter group, breaking nearly 5 points on flood of offerings. Dec- laration of the regular quarterly di- vidend of $2.25 on the stock failed to stem the selling. American Can broke nearby 3 points and Eastman Kodak 4 points, both to new lows for the current movement. Auburn Auto lost its early 12 point advance and steel common fell from its high of 1O1 3-S to around its previous level of 9s 5-s. Special pressure also was exerted against Westing- house Electric and many of the amusement issues.
 Losses in the industrial and utili- ay departments ranged up to 5 points around mid-afternoon, with those in the oil group somewhat smaller.

Olympic Boss Tries
Tricks But Fails:
Workers Aid Strike

NEW YORK.-The 100 per cent
strike of workers in the Olympic
Suitcase Co. at 90 Blocker st. con-
tinues in full force. The strike is
against the low wages and long hours,
and is led by the Suitcase and Bag
Makers Union, Local %, in which
rank and file committee was organ
lied after hearing many complaints
of experienced men getting $40 a
week or less in the Olympic.
On the same day the strike
started, April 10, the workers of the
Metropolitan Suitcase Co. raised 500
at a shop meeting for this strike.
Other shops are raising money.
The Olympic boss is trying to di-
vide the strikers. Saturday was pay
day, and one girl operator received a
sudden raise of 81. Another was told
she could take home work. She re-
fused. One who had been hired at
SIS week, for week work, was told
she should come in and finish her
work, as she was now on piece work.
None of these tricks broke the soil
darity of the strikers.

NEW YORK.-By unanimous vote
of all present, and in spite of the
attempts of four or five Kaufman
machine officials who tried to stop
it, the meeting Friday of Local Sd
of the International Fur Workers
condemned sending of scabs by In
ternational President Kaufman to
break the strike at the S. K. & S. fur

his Scabs out of that shop The
workers there went on strike two
weeks ago, and the strike was

favor of the International Fur Work

just that the International officials
were supplying the Scabs. After that
the picket line was attacked by po-
lice, and the strike headquarters five

4 YEAR SENTENCE
ON FLYNN ACT
State Hunger March to
Demand It's Repeal

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April ~
the revolutionary movement in Phila-
delphia and at present organization
secretary of the Communist Party of
this district, has been given a most
outrageous sentence on the Flynn
state sedition law of % to years
in the eastern Penitentiary and
$3.50 fine and costs"
This is the eighth worker con-
victed on the Flynn act in Pennsyl-
vania. The case of Lawrence is about
two years old,
The reason for the bosses reSur-
recting the case now is because of
the growing struggles of the workers
of Pennsylvania. Especially are the
bosses afraid of the coming state
hunger march.
The International Labor Defense
is now circulating petitions for the
repeal of the Flynn Sedition law in
Pennsylvania. The use of this law
against the workers in their daily
struggle is becoming frekuent oc-
curence. Every piece of literature
distributed by workers organizations
is 'sedition"
The workers should circulate these
petitions and, above all, support the
state hunger march to Harrisburgh.
One of the election promises of
Governor Pinchot was the repeal of
the Flynn sedition law Now this
fake progressive" capitalist politi-
clan has already refused to see one
delegation elected at a united front
conference of workers organizations
demanding the repeal of this law
and the release of all political pris-
oners. The hunger marchers will
also demand the repeal of the law.

Because the workers in the Soviet

build up Socialist industry, Balfour

professor for war to end the five
