Among the many other matters to

been before the league for some time,
and 1t has consistently opposed the

December after an election and the
following 4th Of March, which includes
Senators and Representatives who have

Other problems In which the league
has taken a leading part include elec-

WOMEN WILL FIGHT

National League of Women
Voters Plan to Intensity
Crusade Before Congress.

The nineteenth amendment to the

That fight still is going on under the
guidance Of countrywide organiza-
ton, the outgrowth Of the enterprtsing

until the citizens of the District are
granted the right to vote, It was as
serted here today by Mrs. Siegel w.
Judd of Grand Rapids, Mich, chair
man Of the department Of efficiency in
Government of the National League OF
Women Voters.
Mrs. Judd, who is in washington for
the annual meeting Of the governing
board Of the national organization, said
the league has made the case for Fed
eral suffrage in the District major
part of its national program. It plans
to intensity its crusade for national
representation for the disfranchised
citizens throughout the forthcoming
session Of Congress.

all of the 100 or so new members who
will take seats in the House Of Repre-

Mrs. Judd said the national league,
which was organized by the same group
which was a leading faction in the
suffrage movement, considers the Dis
trict vote problem part Of the ''unfin-
ished business" Of the original program
for women's suffrage, and will not drop
the fight until vote for the District
Is realized.
"It is ironical to me-" she declared,
that American citizens must virtually
forfeit the right to vote in order to
be In the employ Of their Government

that the tax rates on the upper bracket
incomes be increased; that the gradu-

lower bracket rates be left untouched.
Explaining his plan for expending
Federal relief funds, he said that they
might be used to supplement the efforts
Of States, cities and other municipal or
ganizations for feeding and otherwise
helping people who cannot get work,
and in carrying out an elaborate pub
lie works program. In this later cate
CORY he listed such projects as flood
control, waterways development, re-
forestation, airport construction, air

and highway building.
Mrs. Edward p. Costigan, past pres

emphasized that "the thing we want Is

Plans for their two-day visit, however,

Housing Of the demonstrators while
in washington appears to be the
greatest problem. It Is understood that
leaders Of the group hope to have Gov

old st. James Hotel for that purpose.
The hotel, located at Sixth street and
Pennsylvania avenue, in the Federal

AS FOURTH QUARTER ISSTARTED
Purchase Of Stocks by Wealthy People L

Yet Apparent.

Cured in the stock market the last two
years and the shrinkage in brokers loans
as well as bank loans, that everything
possible has been liquidated.
The average prices of 80 industrial
STOCKS have declined more than 80 points
in the last month to a new low level.
Brokers loans declined more than $780,
100000 last month to the lowest level
since records have been compiled. Total
brokers loans at the beginning of this
month were approximately $1,044 ,000,-

ure OF $8,s49, 100000 in September two
years ago.
There are still large number OF
people with money who are either SELL
Ing securities or refusing to buy. The
chief reason for this condition is the
prevalence of fright and the desire for
self-preservation.
Business Revival.
1t was expected weeks ago that there
would be some seasonal improvement in
general trade and industry with the be-
ginning of the Fall season and the ex-
pectation of this expansion in trade
buoyed up the hopes of those trying tc
take a constructive view of the eco
nomic situation. But recent statistics
have shown that no improvement in
business is dtScernible and that enough
time has passed to warrant the predic-
ton that there will be no expansion
the remainder Of the year.
The Street. therefore, has postponed
hopes OF trade betterment until the turn
OF the new year.
Domestic Developments.
Foreign financial conditions have
quleted down to the extent where they
are becoming less of an immediate in
huence on price fluctuations of stocks
The trend of prices in the immediate
future will, therefore, be dependent
upon domestic developments.
The financial district has hopes that
something constructive will develop on.

BY CHARLES w. STORM.


NEW YORK. october SIT has been
began the last quarter Of the year with
SO little to look forward to OF favorable
nature. With prices Of stocks at new
,ow levels and with business at a new
low bottom, it is hard to muster much
courage. Expressions of hope have been
blasted so many times that the impor-
tant people in the Street refuse to
hazard any guess as to what may be
expected the remainder OF this year.
One opinion is considered as good as
another inaSmush as those whose opin-
ions have all along been thought worthy
of consideration have been steadfastly
wrong.
Source, Of Consolation.
Notwithstanding the general gloom
there Is some consolation being derived
from the fact that some of the wealth.
lest people and estates are now pur-
chasing stocks for long-term invest
ment.
The purchases are being made on a
scaledoWn, SO that the effect of the
buying is not being reflected in the ac-
ton of the general market, but the
cumulative effect of these purchases Is
expected to find reflection in prices as
soon as there is let-up in liquidation.
which has been coming from all parts
of the world.
Middle West Selling.
A considerable amount of liquidation
has been coming from the Middle West.
and 1t would be surprising if some un-
favorable news came from that source
in view of the urgent manner in which
good stocks have been sold from that
source. Offerings are declared to have
been chiefly from Pittsburgh, Cleveland
and Detroit
The tenseness in the banking situa-
ton throughout the country is believed
to have disappeared in most instances,
but the street is expecting announce
ment of anoher New York bank merger
in the near future, one that would be
considered a constructive step in the
readjustment of banking affairs.
1t would seem from a glance at the
percentage of decline which has oc-
