New York, Sept is-(UP)-Ap-
proximately 100000 workers
were on strike today. in wide
" separated Industrial centers.
While the national recovery adj
ministration worked toward peace.
meditation boards struggled with
warning capital and labor factions
on many fronts.
New York contributed $4,000 OF
the total. The New Jersey silk
dyeing centers were tied up in u
general strike and lockout Affect
Ing $4,000 workers; In the Penn
sylvania coal mining districts, g.
900 miners were striking In pro-
test against long delays In formu-
lating an MIRA code regulating the
sole coal industry.
In Philadelphia 1900 were out
in a. group of small strikes and
1000 restaurant workers threat
ened to strike at noon today. In
st. Louis, 1000 garment workers
were out and 5000 Chicago needle
trades workers still were on strike.
In California $500 raisin workers
continued tuelT 0tTlke, anu uVu
miners In Gallup, N. M, maintain
ed their front. Factory strikes In
western Pennsylvania added 1,400
strikers to the total, and 500 silk
workers were out In. Connecticut.
In Broekton, Mass, $500 shoe
workers were on strike.
All tho strikes were either In
protest against failure of employers
to speedily put themselves under
NRA codes, or over disputes In the
administration of codes.
The most serious situation was
that In Pennsylvania where gen.
eral strike tying up all the coal
fields impMded. Many labor lead.
ers felt that only by n strike could
they force operators TO agree to a
coal code. In Washington organized
labor charged that powerful finan-
cial interests were deliberately OBJ
structing code negotiations In order
to pile up large SURPRISES of cheap
ly mined coal.
Underwear workers represented
the largest proportion on New
York strikers, $4,000 having walk
ed out and paralyyed the industry,
other major strikes were 10000
necktie workers and 10000 dyers
and cleaners.

BONDS IRREGULAR
ON PROFIT TAKING
y. S. Treasury Issues and
Foreign Dollar Group
Show Strength.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 3.-After the first
wave of buying of speculative bonds to-
day there was enough profit-taking to
cause net declines. The market. like
that in stocks, was nervous and showed
signs of having been over-bought in
some sections.
The strength Of foreign dollar bonds
of countries still on gold was the fea-
ture in that department of the market.
There were further gains in United
States Treasury loans.
During the first hour conspicuous
strength was shown in a dozen or more
were made for the movement in New
York Central refunding 4las, Nickel
Plate 5l2s, Southern Railway Is and
612s, Baltimore & Ohio refunding SIS
and IS, Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
general 4 1as, Illinois Central 61as, Great
Northern rs and Denver & Rio Grande
consolidated As. Advances in these
bonds ranged from slightly less than q
point to points. They have gained
anywhere from Is to 20 points from
their low levels of the year. This in
itself was an influence in urging a GER
tain amount of realizing sales by those
who have profited by the imitation
propaganda.
At the same time there was distinct
heaviness in a number of the first grade
railroad mortgages like Atchison gen
eral As and Union Pacific first As, which
were of 4 to p point. Northern Pa
cific first Is, however, extended by a
point their rise on Tuesday of 2h
points at the same time that the IS
declined a point. Chesapeake Corpora
ton IS touched 80 and then reacted.
Movements in the public utility bonds
were featured by rise of Az points
in American Water Works collateral 5S,
due next year, which had advanced 3
points yesterday, and OF points in
North American Edison 5s. Western
Union 612s gained another point and
are now up nearly 25 points from their
low. Postal Telegraph SIS rose a point
The strength of French government
and city bonds, as well as those Of
French railroads, reflected the prospect
of paying coupons on these bonds on
gold basis In this group there were
gains of y to points. Swiss and
Dutch bonds were also strong and Ca
nadians firm. Germans were inclined
to heaviness, while the trade agreement
between Great Britain and Argentina
had an adverse effect on the per cent
dollar loans of the South American
republic.
Favorable comment was made on the
policy of Shell Union Co., as indicated
in its annual report, OF purchasing SIN
over S21 ,OOO, 900 of its debentures. The
bonds have f1uctuated in the past year
between Sc and Al and are now around
72.
United States Treasury loans were
again strong The average gain in the
first half of the session was "a point
The municipal bond market was slight
ly better on old issues and the sale OF
new bonds by the cities of Rochester
and Utica encouraged dealers in this
section of the list.
