in General Slump
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK. Nov. % GN.S).
The leading industrial and rail
road stocks at the weekend fol-
lowed the irregularly downward
course which has been in progress
with little interruption since Mon
day.
With United States Steel, New
York Central, American Can and
other speculative favorites drop
ping one to three points, and re.
cording new low prices, little sup
port was in evidence for the active
shares in other sections of the
list.
Start Down at Bell
Selling orders poured out from
the first tap Of the opening bell
and stocks sagged gradually but
steadily.
New York Central was again
the outstanding weak spot in the
rail group, falling off about three
points to 281s, and stretching it's
losses for the week as whole to
about IS points. Union Pacific
and Atchison lost about 212
points.
United States Steel rallied frac-
tionally in the first period, but
was unable to hold it's position
in the face of another deluge of
selling. The stock broke to a new
low around SO.
American Can lost about 2
points and Consolidated Gas a
point. The automobile, copper
and Oil stocks made a better
showing, but the general trend
Of prices was downward.
Many Factors at Work
Hardness in the industrial re-
covery; further complications in
the war debt situation; war in
the far east; further slump in
railroad net income and the con-
tinued weakness in railroad bonds
were the principal factors in
ducing liquidation and short sell
ing of stocks in the weekend
market.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-22

1 It is believed unlikely that the big slugger's new contract will call for more than $60,000-possibly with bonus arrangement where by Ruth can earn his old salary if he has a brilliant season.
 Financial Slxids Creased Hack Wilson; who ranked sec- ond to Ruth last season at $35,000 will be fortunate if he drags down half that figure in 1892. Many other high paid stars who experi- enced disappointing seasons in 1891 Babe Herman. Dazzy Vance. Glenn Wright, Lefty O'Doul and Babe Phelps of Brooklyn; Eddie Morgan of Cleveland; Lloyd Waner and Pie Traynor of the Pirates; Pinkey Whitney of the Phils; Gabby Hartnett of the Cubs; and Firpo Marberry of the Senators, in. cluded--also appear slated for salary slashes.
 !, Directors of the Brooklyn club | met yesterday to consider salaries and while no official announcement was forthcoming, 1t indicated that a general reduction was voted. Tho Robins of recent years have been one of the best paying clubs in baseball with average players drawing down double the salaries they would earn elsewhere while Vance, Herman, O'Doul, Wright and Frederick were paid from $15,- 900 to $25,000. Next year, 1t is intimated, no player on the squad will receive more than $15,000. One Year Jobs
 Veteran stars with every club in the big leagues are due for big disappointments when they receive new contracts. Regardless of their records in 1881, most of the old timers will be asked to accept sal- ary revisions--and none of the re- visions will be upward. And to make matters worse, 1t is unlikely that any of the veterans will be signed for more than a single year. Most of the Inagnates agree with Col Ruppcrt of the Yankees, who contends that players with cone tracts for more than Q single year do not give their best efforts ex. cept in seasons prior to the renewal of their contract. Other owners have adopted similar rules.
 The only salary increases in prospect for 1882 are for young sters who enjoyed exceptional sue cess. Pepper Martin doubtless will receive a substantial raise from the St Louis Cardinals. One or two other brilliant rockies are destined for similar treatment.
 HOIdouts Out
 The economy campaign is cer- tain to result in an unusually large group of "holdouts" but eventually | the players will be forced to sign at the magnates' terms or remain idle. The owners are encouraged 1 by the success of their united stand against holdouts last spring, when not Q single player proflted by refusing to join his team. Players no longer can depend on public sympathy in their salary arguments for 1t Is increasingly difficult to become sentimental over the plight of baseball "slaves' with millions seeking work at any price.

|SCOVILL'S HOOP
 STANDING STILL VERY UNCERTAIN
Special Meeting" De- veIops Nothing to Aid Contestants

Recreational Supervisor Russell Hickman of the Scovill Manufact- uring Company was making a valiant effort this morning to get his basketball teams status in the Industrial league strengthened out before the Scovill boys take the floor this evening in regular scheduled game.
 Last night q special meeting had been slated to discuss the Scovill claims in regard to Maher and Mccormick, two members of the squad, but the complaining Chase team representative forgot to put in an appearance until, 1t was too late to take up the matter in ques- tion. Feeling that he has been getting the well-known run a. round," MT Hickman plans to take definite action on his case one way or the other, stating among other things that the Scovlll team will be taken out of the league rather than replay the game they won from the Chase outfit last week, which they were supposed to do according to an edict of the league officials at their last regular meet ing.
 As for future play in which the Scovill team is concerned, Nr Hickman is willing to abide by any league rulingj but the Chase game, already won by Scovills must stand he insists. The matter will probably be settled to the sat isfication of those concerned prior to this evenings games at the Central Y. M. c. A.

Whether or not Sonny" Maher or "Zockeye" Mccormack will pastime with the Scovlll quintet tonight against the Beardsley- Vol colt combine at the Y, remains to be seen for last nights Dusty League meeting, scheduled pur- loosely to determine their eligibil- ity, went for naught as Chase was not represented at the confab. President Chick Kelley, speaking to the K. of l.. basketeers, was un- able to appear.
 Tn the feature game tonight, Farrel Foundry takes on the Tele.- phone quintet in what should prove an interesting game, for both teams are at the bottom of the league with two losses in the same number of starts spotting their record. Dancing will follow the main attraction.
