CURB SHARES GAIN
IN LATE RECOVERY
Public Utilities and Metals
Lead in Rebound at
Close.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.


NEW YORK, August 31-A rally in
the final hour lifted Curb Exchange
leaders out of their early afternoon
depths today and under the leadership
| Of Electric Bond & Share many shares
finished with slight net gains.
Public utilities and metals were most
prominent in the rebound, though fuel
and miscellaneous industrials also were
in demand. American Gas & Electric
firmed on better than estimated earn
ings. In the II months ended July 81
1t showed $279 a share against $4O3
in the same 1881 period. An extra divi-
dend declaration of 25 cents by Texon
Oil & Land put up that issue.
Just before the market changed its
direction Koppers Gas & Coke preferred
rocketed 20 points, while North Ameri-
can Light & Power Sc preferred sank
29la points Columbia Gas g. Electric
convertible preference stock crossed par
for the first time.
Cities Service ranged narrowly, as
did Standard Oil of Indiana. Talk of
auto mergers had no immediate effect
marketwiSe.
Faced with a holiday, traders de-
cided to take profits instead of carry
ing commitments over that period.
They did not even wait to see whether
the governors would order the closing
of the exchange Saturday, as well as
on Labor day.
Professional profit-taking naturally
invited some professional short selling,
though in small volume. 1t was the
absence of sizeable short interest,
however, that permitted the market to
slide as far as it did. being checked
only by a scattered investment and
speculative demand
The overnight news included an in
crease in crude oil production, with a
decline in stocks of gasoline. and
declarations of many regular dividends.
Eastern Gas & Fuel Associates ordered
all of its usual preferred payments.
Perfect Circle Co. and Standard Oil
of Kentucky disbursed the usual COM
mon quarterly dividends.

WOMEN TO MEET
Candidate to Address

NEW YORK.-A call to all wo-
mems shop groups, unions, mass and
fraternal organizations, white and
Negro, to send delegates to the spe-
cial Women's Election Conference to
be held at Irving Plaza, Is Irving
Place, on Saturday, September II, 2

Patterson, Communist candidate for
Mayor of New York City.
Patterson will be one of the main
speakers at this conference which
will also be addressed by Israel AM
ter, candidate on the Communist
ticket, for governor of New York
state.
Women workers have learned that
the capitalist parties are unable and
unwilling to offer relief to workers in
this crisis" Patterson declared. "Ne-
gro women workers especially are
being Disseminated against. The in
FAINT death rate in Harlem is four
times greater than in other working
class districts. Women toilers, Negro
and white must be modified to fight
for jobs, bread, against evictions and
for liberation from capitalist misery"

BAKERS TO FIGHT
FOR 5 HOUR DAY
Call for Local 3 to Join
Struggle

NEW YORK.-Hailing as a great
victory the announcement that the
bakery workers Of locals sos, 500 and
70 will demand on Saturday, Sep
TENDER II that the bosses live up
to the eight hour agreement and
complete unionization of the shops.
the Bakers City United Front Com
mittee issued call today to all
bakery workers to give their fullest
support to this fight.
The statement issued by the Uni
ted Front Committee said:
"The Bakers United Front Com
mittee can now feel that the work
OF the past seven months has not
been in vain, that our program will
be really applied in action this com
ing Saturday However, we must re-
cord that in spite of our efforts, we
have not as yet been able to reach
the rank and file workers of local 3
in this movement. The officials of
local 3 succeeded in isolating nearly
two thousand bakery workers from
the others. This means that we, and
the membersof the International will
have to penetrate the membership of
local 8 and involve them in the cam
paign to force their bosses to main
tain conditions.
1--WE call upon you rank and file
bakery workers to keep your eyes
open, and watch everyone, and es-
pecially those who pretend to be
friends of the workers, and see that
yousare not misled or your struggles
betrayed. We call upon you to take
this fight into your own hands.
"We call upon the membership of
local 3 of the Amalgamated Food
Workers to follow the step taken by
the United Front and the three IN
ternational locals, and in spite of
your leaders, participate in this fight.
Elect committees in your shop. Raise
your voice in protest in your local.
Demand that your local become a
part Of our genuine united front
movement. Demand that your local
follow the lead of the other locals.
and let us fight together for our just
demands"

HILLQUIT JOINS
TAMMANY IN THE
ELECTION SUIT
Allied with Curry in
Row That Wall st.
Will Decide

NEW YORK. - Yesterday Morris
Hillouit. as attorney for the Social
list Party. entered the court case of
the Assistant CORPORATION Counsel j..
Joseph Lilly against Mayor Mckee.
Lilly and Hillquit will jointly argue
fer an election for mayor this Nc
vsnber, and Mckee, represented by
his former law partner, Harold r.
Medina, will demand to remain as
mayor until 1884.
The court case seems to be most
ly a struggle between the old Tam
many of Curry, with Mckee of the
Bronx section, and perhaps McCooey,
Tammany leader in Brooklyn, OPP
posed. McCooey had LONG talk
Wednesday at the city hall with Nc
kee, and it is admitted that patron
age was the main topic.
fractional Quarrel
The Curry group is willing to run
an election and take a chance on
iniuring Roosevelt's CAMPAIGN, in or
Ger to cover uo it's graft and win
dictate" itself through the Tammany
Hillouit and the Socialist
Party falls right in line with this.
Hillouit is chairman of the Social
list Partv national committee. The
court will give its decision in line
with the best interests Of big capital
in New York. and whichever side is
endorsed will cut wages and dis
charge workers sooner or later.
Curry and his faction, make pre-
tense of democracy" in that they
offer to let Walker run again for
mayor and "let the people decide"
This pretense the Socialist Party
tries to give substance to by joining
in the. court case with the faction
Of Democracy, and of Walker who
resigned under charges of graft.
Against Wage And Relief Cuts
Instead of fighting both Tammany
factions Hillquit appears as the ally
of one of them.
The Communist Party denounces
Tammany as a whole, all its wage
cutting and strike breaking and
starvation of the jobless.
The Communist Party demands in
the name Of New York's million
hungry jobless and its millions of
struggling workers, in the name of
thousands of city employees facing
wage cuts, an election for mayor this
Fall 1t proposes the Negro worker,
William L. Patterson as its candidate
and calls on the workers to support
him in a fight against wage cuts
and for jobless relief.

THE EAGLE OF THE CAUCASUS"
IN AMERICAN PREMIERE AT THE
ACME THEATRE SATURDAY

THE Eagle of the Caucasus" a
new Soviet film, produced in the us.
S.R. by Soykino, will have its Am
erican. Premiere at the Acme Theatre
14th st. and Union Square, on Sat-
urday, and will be shown for one
week. This is a dramatic tale of
the Cossacks during the regime of
the Gar. In 1.-THE Eagle of the eau
casus" the director, B. A. Mikhin,
has tried to bring back again the life
and customs Of these mountaineers.
Mikhin has made use of the natural
background of these wild Cossacks by
following the policy of all Soviet di-
rectors in using very few profess
sional actors. Native talent and the
people of this mountain country are
the actors.
Mikhin has also made good use of
the scenario written by Email Bel
Abaj, a talented writer who is fami-
liar with his locale and the people.
The story of zaur, spirited noun
taineer who is the leader of younger
element in his village who rebels a.
gainst the grating and degenerate
Princess of the Czaristic regime who
own the land, using the Hetman and
the army to force hardships and
taxes on these natives-all of this
the director has managed to mould
into graphic drama of the time.
The cast is headed by v. Bestaev
as the Eagle, N. Sanov, P. Ganta-
rina, N. Aganbekova, v. Gunia and
G. Tchetchslazvii. The American
premiere is held under the guidance
of Amkino. The program also in
cludes other features. This is the
final two days Of 1.-THE Cry of the
World" at the Acme.
