petition for public ownership of IN

Uphold Towns Rights
Others who voted against hear
ing the North Manchester petition
were Chairman John w. McCardle
and Commissioner Jere West. Com
missioners Frank Singleton, who
presided in the case, and Howell
Ellis voted to deny the insult mo-
ton to dismiss the case and wrote
memorandum unfolding the towns
rights in the matter.
Strey's criticism follows:
The rejection Of the North Man
chester light plea by the public serv-
ice commission recently should con-
vince the public that they haven't
a fighting chance with this body. It
is quite evident that the policies of
the public service corornission are
dictated by big utility interests.
Usually Play Ball"
II learned from observations as a
legislator that the boys who usually
play BALI with the big utility and
other large interests land the jobs
on some Of these needless and ex-
pensive commissions-that one of
the reasons why people haven't
a chance to get square deal from
these public servants.
Therefore, the people should de-
mand abolition of these commits
sions at the earliest possible date,
unless they want to take it on the
chin continuously"

When it came to choosing between

PRESSURE ON RAILS
HOLDS STOCKS Low
Small Volume Reduces Sig
nificance of Downward
Movement.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch TO The Star
| NEW YORK. August 1o.-The week
in the stock market opened with con-
tlnued pressure on the railroad shares
today and a slightly lower price level
for the industrials. but all on such small
volume that no great significance could
be attached to the movement.
Selling of the rails. which was in evil
oence from the start, appeared TO be
discouraged liquidation, resulting mostly
from the action of the market itself in
recent sessions. but partly from fears
of dividend reduction While the losses
were not especially large, they were suf-
ficient to make new low records for the
bear market for such important stocks
as New York Central and Pennsylva-
MIA and a new low for the present cap
italization in Canadian Pacific. New
Haven sold at the lowest in some years.
Atchison and Union Pacific we're down
3 or 4 points.
News over the week end included the
encouraging sales report of the General
Motors Corpora ton, the favorable out
come of the Prussian plebiscite and the
surprising Government cotton report.
1t was hard to trace much connection
between these developments and the
course of stocks. General Motors was
we'll supported while the ether stocks
slve buying German dollar bonds i'm
proved on the news from Berlin. but it
had no effect on the share market The
collapse in cotton might have been re-
sponsible for the heaviness Of stocks,
but shares directly affected by agricul-
tural conditions in the South were no
weaker than the others.
AS a matter of fact, considering the
weakness in the railway shares and the
implicit faith traders have nowadays
that a movement in the rails foreshad-
ows similar one in the industrials, the
market as a whole held very well. u. S.
Steel, American Can and General Elec-
trio during the morning hours were
never more than fractionally under Sat
urdays final. There was evidence of
cautious buying in Consolidated Gas.
which is expected to benefit very sub
stantially from its interest in New
York steam.
Minor incidents we're the renewal of
speculation for the rise in the low
priced gold mining stocks and weakness
in General Railway Signals, which was
down 4 points on top of an 8-point loss
last week.
Call money renewed at 1i2 per cent,
but was in abundant supply In the out
side market at per cent.
