STOCK MARKET
MIDDAY DROPS
ENGINEERED
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK. Aug. 80 QN.SJ.
Yesterday saw one of those
chameleon-like markets that Wall
Street hasn't had in some time.
The early firmness, the
obviously-engineered reaction after
midday, and then the whirl-up at
the close had a lot of the boys
hanging on the ropes at the end
of the day.
The Governments gold ruling
was another addition to the re.
cent initiation developments. 1t
may be what the market spon-
sors are waiting for.
The street nearly fell over
when stocks began that fast
tumble shortly after noon.
And how the wires buzzed with
inquiries of whats it all about"
There is a strong suspicion that
someone knew the gold decision
was coming and touched off
bundle of stop loss orders to get
some stock. 1t was apparent the
market was being we'll bought on
the second reaction. The test
will come today in the response
of commodities, particularly wheat
and cotton.
Utilities are still the market
orphans. Traders became
skeptical when the power and
light stocks were marked up in
the early dealings, and more so
when the industrials failed to
follow the rise in the rails.
Homestake Mining must feel
pretty lonely, up in the 300 class.
There isn't another stock that's
even close.

The thirty-hour week to provide work for the jobless
liberalization of bank credit for business concerns, ant
effective participation by the Government to bring abou
these objects, are stressed as necessary for business re
covery by William Green, president Of the America
Federation of Labor, in an editorial on keys to tn
Problem" in the American Federationist.
"There is no way permanently to sustain a nation
except by work, hence our relief measures should be
directed toward restoring work opportunities.
"For the past twelve months men and women have
been sinking further and further down the valley of
depression. Those in positions of power have made
no effort to get at the causes Of our present disas-
ter. They seemed concerned only with their own
balance sheets. The root Of the evil is greed. The
powerful increased their share of returns at the ex-
pense of others who co-operated in joint enterprises.
The result was unbalance. The buyers in retail mar
kets could not buy enough to keep industries going
to capacity. There has been fragrant dishonesty in
the management of banking, industries and utilities.
Dishonesty on both small and large scales has in
volved us in the breakdown of our business system.
1.-The leaders Of industry and finance still have
the chance, if they will turn their experience to serv-

A striking illustration of the sinister activities OF the
groups Of leading business men who own and control
the power industry was given by Senator Kenneth Nc
