 New York, Sept 22.-UP)- Bankers to-day were generally pleased with the performance of the stock market following suspen- sion of the gold standard by Great Britain.
 According to we'll informed sources, there was no organized banking support of stocks. and none appeared necessary.
 The stock market, however, was considered in some quarters to be too artificial to determine it's ex- act reaction to the British move. A ban on short selling among other restrictions served to keep prices from going down in accordance with the law of supply and de- mand.
 Some banking support was dis cernible in steel common, but Ii was not the organized aid given the market in 1929 when conditions were different from to-day.
 Bankers did not appear worried over the present situation abroad. They were of the opinion Great Britain would work out solution of her problems and that the coun-
 
 try would again go on a gold basis. None would venture prediction as to whether the new gold stand ard would find the pound sterling at a revaluated basis of say $4. Il was pointed out that nearly all other countries marked down the price of their currencies, while Germany repudiated hers and started anew.
 Brokers were divided on their opinions concerning the movement of the stock market in the imme- fiate future. Some of them, recog- nizing the artificiality of the mar ket, held that prices might be kept up for a few days. Others advised sales on rallies.
 It is now impossible to sell a stock short. If shorts continue to cover their commitments. the tech- nical position of the market will be weakened and stocks will be sub- jected to pressure when the artifi- cial barriers to selling are remov- ed, according to some authorities

 London, Sept 22s-(UP)-Brit- Ssh financial and political leaders to-day looked hopefully to an in iernational conference to restore economic health to the world through a redistribution of the worlds gold supply.
 With <. the budget balanced on paper and suspension of the gold standard for six months approved by parliament and King George in record time, British experts con- sidered a conference for redistrib- ution of gold the next move. in un- dangling the world economic and financial situation. War debts and reparations may be included.
 Speaking of the necessity of a remedy for the conditions under which the United States and France hold 65 per cent of the world SUD- ply of the precious metal, Philip Snowden, chancellor of the ex- chequer, said in a radio address.
 I've would willingly call an in- ternational conference for this pur- pose: It has been made clear to us that such a move is unwelcome to some other parties. It may be that the present crisis will bring home to them the necessity Tor some concerted action"
 Snowden took the opportunity to refer to the large number Of bank failures that have occurred outside England during the world oepres- sion.
 British banks are safe," he said, "whereas in some countries Dank failures are a common occur renee"
 The chancellor said there was no Justification of rise in commod- ity prices and that prohteerins would be sharply repressed.
 The staid house of lords exceed ed all Britain's speed records when the gold standard bill was passed through it's three stages in the rec ord parliamentary time of two mln- utes. The measure was not depat- ed and was approved without a vote.
 The bill was received from the house of commons at 1O:5S p. m ana approved at Il p. m. The royal commission sat and gave as- sent to the bill before 11:1O p. m
 The house of commons also set a parliamentary speed record in dis posing of the gold standard bill The measure was received at P. m., was debated and passed in all stages by 10:55 p. m., and sent to the house of lords five minutes later.
 A world conference for the redis- tribution of gold will readjust the worlds financial and economy ma chinery and is likely to be one oi the eventual results of Brita1n's suspension of the gold standard, a high financial authority told the United Press. This authority was convinced that financial and eco homie repercussions of the gold standard abandpnInent would nec- essitate discussion of the entire postwar financial network, 1nclud- ing war debts and separations.
 Reductions of the gold holdings of the United States and France and possible additional strain ca the worlds banking systems were foreseen among international de- velopments.
 Among domestic repercussions considered likely were indehnlte lengthening of the tenure or once of the national government, ana lessening of immediate demands TOT a general election which financlers believe highly undesirable at pres-

Denver, Colo
Daily Worker
In Denver, there are no signs OF
work, those who get money are only
bosses. These serve Governor Ad-
ans who receives big salary and has
about ten ranches.
Workers Awake.
Here is some news concerning
Mayor Stapelton who is fighting hard
to be reelected. In order to achieve
this he employees about a hundred
men who of course will vote for him.
These men are ordered to carry a
little book which is used for names of
twenty-five voters which the men are
supposed to recruit. If they don't,
they are fired. Eowever, he won't
get in this time. The workers are
awake now and will fight for our man,
a Communist. We are organizing to
demand his name on the ballot.
1t appears that the Denver Post is
against the Mayor and for reasons not
benefting the workers, but for the
fact that the owner of the Post,
Bondfield, is Mayor Stapelton's OPP
ponent. This Bondfield claims to be
a frisnd of the workers but he GER
tainly isn't, He has increased the
price OF his paper double and hasn't
given the same per cent of wages
to those selling his papers mostly old
men and women. But we are organ
izing against these takers.
