 New York, Sept = (UP1-Lack of demand for stocks today resulted in a moderate decline after an early advance. Dealings were ex- ceptionally, light.
 An irregular opening was follow ed by a pickup led by oils which at one time were up to more than points. The advance failed to attract outside buying and sell- ing followed. Only moderate pres sure was exerted against aSfew issues. N
 There was nothing in the news to account for Q seiioff. Steel news included the Iron, Age Weekly Re- view reported operations for the industry at 45 per cent of capacity, against 47 per cent in the previous week and 53 per cent three weeks ago. This had been anticipate how ever, selling in steel common per- sisted throughout the day and the stock broke below 52, against Q previous close of 52 -s. Other steels were down with 1t.
 Other major indices were mixed. Electricity output made a poorer showing as compared with 1882 than the preceding week. while automobile production schedules appeared to be holding well. Chain store sales were up nearly 13 per cent for August as compared with Q year ago for the first Q compan- ise to report. 2
 Losses in the general list were mostly under point. although there were exceptions in some of the leaders, Including Case, Vest inghouse Electric, Du Pont, West ern Union, Commercial Solvents and U. s. Industrial Alcohol, which declined 1 to 2 points.
 Railroad shares were about steady at levels fractionaily under the previous close. Preliminary estimates showed car Ioadings for the week ended. eptember 2, were 15 per cent above the 1882 week and about per cent or 26,000 cars above the previous week. A rise in loadings Is sensational at thii time of year and the week in ques- ton made about the proper gain in terms of past performance.

Speaker Wants
 National Defense
U. s. Commissioner Acorn Addresses Lions Club
 Need Efficient Policing

that adequate national defense means nothing more than an eff. cient police force.
 The speaker stated in part, "Thc sincere advocate of total disarm- ament to bo consistent would be obliged to advocate also abolition of the police force, because in the last analysis all law rests upon superior physical force. We have much crime even with local, state and federal officers attempting to suppress 1t and 1t is fair as- sumption in the absence of m in. ternational police force, interna. tional crime would be very great"
 After two thousand years of so. called civilization solemn treaty has been called, e scrap of paper within the last 20 years and noth- ing has happened since the war to demonstrate that the temperament | of nations has changed, in fact, all ! indications are the other way. In- adequate national defense would be | the surest means of promoting war | because we are the richest nation | in the world and other nations look upon us with jealous eyes. We have been in six wars in the history of the country, in each case we were greatly unprepared | for 1t, but nevertheless the war came. There is a golden meaning between militarism and pacifism and people who say that adequate national defense would lead to war completely misunderstood or are deliberately slandering the inher. ent good sense of the American people. When avarice, jealousy, greed and hatred are removed from the human temperament. then would be the time to totally disarm, but until that time comes we must expect to be in a position to defend ourselves If necessary"

sage and in court again today states that he was the man who feared. that he might get so mad as to carry out his intentions.
 ,Daddone was charged with breach of the peace. Mrs Mae Castellano of the same address testified that the accused created a disturbance at her home. It de- yeloped that Daddone formerly boarded with the Casteliano family and following difference of .opin- ion left them. Alleging that he owed them over $500 for back board Mir Castellano had Daddone's wages attached.
 In court this morning Daddone produced receipts that he paid the Castellanos and in his opinion he doesn't owe them q penny. I'm. pressed apparently by the sincerity of the man, who freely admitted that he became mad when he dis covered his wages attached, Judge Edward Mascolo advised the de- fendant to engage counsel and con- test the action of his former friends. 4t

The distinction of being the first licensed Waterbury beer dealer to be summoned before the State Liquor Control Commission ana asked to show cause why his per- init should not be revoked, goes to William Gnarzdowsky, pro- prietor of the restaurant on the corner of Bank and Meadow streets. The accused was recently arraigned in the local police court on the charge of violating the liquor law. His arrest at the time was of much local interest owing to the fact that he was the first licensed restaurant keeper to clash with the authorities.
 Accompanied by his counsel. Att torncy Maurice Healey, GnarZdow- sky appeared yesterday and eX- plaincd his side of the story to the commissioners. As when ar- raigned before Judge Edward Mas colo in local police court the de- fendant claimed that the liquor found by the local emergency squad was brought on to the prem- ises by an employe, dish washer, who claimed under oath that the liquor was his.

 bert smalley after he took an &C., tive part in union organization work, and by reducing working time from 4s hours to 70 hours without continuing pay that would give employees the total they had been receiving for 4s hours.
 Ellcry K. Files. vice-president and general manager of the plant, said that the charges of Ross were without foundation.
 "There is nothing to this mans complaint" MT Files said. we are not only doing our part, we have done our part"
 This Is a radical outfit and 1t sees a chance to get lot of free publicity because Gen Johnson happens to be our president" he continued. There is no merit or Justice in the charge. Our whole plan of operation Is and always has been based on a forty-hour week. When our people work forty-eight hours, as they did for several peak periods, they are working overtime.
 "We manufacture carpets for use in automobiles. All work associat- ed with the automobile industry is seasonal and there are periods when 1t Is absolutely necessary to operate the plant at capacity. If you cannot get necessary extra em- ployes familiar with our process you must work those you have overtime. It has nothing to do with the normal working week.
 Last year we were on a thirty hour week most of the time,
 "Furthermore." Mir Files contin- ued, through that period we were paying our men forty cents an hour and we could have hired all the help we needed for from 2s cents to thirty cents an hour. We paid forty cents and did our bes' to keep our regular people em- ployed.
 "As to firing Smalley: He was fired by his foreman because his work was unsatisfactory. We have made no attempt to prevent the or. ganization of our plant. We did not encourage Ross's union. told him we would prefer to have them join a union affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. But I also told him that any time he could bring me a certified list of T majority of our employees as paid up mem mbers in good standing in his union, we would do business with him. He then used that as q club to try to force majority of our people in his union"
 The telegram sent to President Roosevelt said;
 Lea Fabrics. Inc. has violated the MIRA. by dismissIng Herbert Smailey from It's employ. Smailey's work has been satisfactory for foui years and he was dismissed after taking an active part in union or ganlzatien work. We demand the Immediate re-ompioymen by Leh Fabrics of Herbert snaliey forcine Lea Fabrics io live Up 10 the iettef and spirit of the NHA. We also demand that the weekly wage paid on the 4s-hour basis but since Fa. dneed due i0 lsiH reduction co aa hours per week, be restored,

 Wooster said he would question members of the switching crew which held up the ill-fated express just long enough to be struck by the milk train again.
 q understand the passenger train was stopped only a minute before the crash" Wooster said. "If that is the case l wonder why the crew of the milk train was not told of the switching crew and the passenger train as 1t came by the station here"
 The wreck occurred about two miles beyond the station.
 H. J. Bordwell, manager of the eastern division of the Erie, said King absolutely disregarded sig nals rules, regulations. and about everything else" Other Erie offi- cials said the same thing.
