New York Stocks
By ELMER c. WALLER
JInifpd Prose Financial Editor

TTtSS
NEW YORK, Nov. %. - Initiation
tendencies predicted yesterday by
DR.. 0. M. w. Sprague in his letter
of resignation from a treasury post
were held responsible for another
wide break in United States gov
ernment issues today.
Stocks, however, were dull with
prices irregular, while the dollar
moved in a narrow range.
Steadiness in the dollar was in
part explained by retention of yes
terday's gold price by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation. Stock
dullness was attributed to reticence
of traders to make commitments
after President Roosevelt's S speech
scheduled for Friday night.
Stocks opened steady, sold off
and then met support before noon.
They ruled firm in the early af-
ternoon, but sank before the close.
Selective operations brought marked
irregularity. Several automobile is
sues were bid up on increased auto
mobile business.
Schenley and National Distillers
made new lows in the wet group on
indications the state of Pennsyl-
vania would enact law taking the
liquor now in warehouses of the
state, amounting to more than
9,5O0,O00 gallons.
There were several individual
bright spots. New highs for the
bu Int OF q
Nickel at 1914 up l; MathieSon AL
kali 465s up 13s; and Du Pont 90ls
up 2ls. These gains were reduced
later.
Some of the mining issues moved
up but the group as a whole was
easier. U. S. Smelling crossed 100
for a gain of points, most of
which was lost. Alaska Juneau
and Mcintyre Porcupine held ad-
vances of point or more.
Steel common eased off in the
face of favorable news from the
automobile industry and railroads.
youngstown reported steel opera
tions up a point at 81 per cent of
capacity.
Utilities were mixed with several
of the preferred issues under mod
crate pressure. Oils were slightly
lower, as were mercantile stocks.
Rubbers ruled firm and SO did SUI
gars. Farm equipments rule d
steady despite a decline in grains
with wheat off Us to ~ cent at
the close. Rails eased late in the
day.
stock sales today totaled 1870
900 shares as against 100000
shares yesterday. Curb sales today
were 10000 shares as against 247,-
900 shares yesterday Dow Jones
preliminary averages showed indus
trial 100.O7 off 0.22, railroad 1852
off O.36, utility 1926 off Ola.

JOHNSON WILL
ENFORCE NRA

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. U.P) -
Recovery administrator Johnson
made clear today that the NRA will
enforce codes in cases where in
dustries themselves prove unable
to do so.
Following up his recent swing
around the country on which he
found that lax enforcement was
threatening success of NRA codes,
Johnson pointed out that sit is fun
damental within both the letter
and intent" of the Recovery Act
that code administration be carried
out as much as possible through
their own code authorities of indus
tries, and trade associations.
But it is equally fundamental,
Johnson said, that the ultimate
responsibility for efficient code ad-
ministration lies with the NRA.'
"NRA will supervise code admin
istrations by code authorities. In
addition it will directly administer
thc code itself, wherever an indus
try is unable to administer it, fails
to administer it, or where there are
certain functions of code admins
tration, which by their nature, gov
ernment should perform directly"

Their rebellion quelled by the guns

Scared workshops gave evidence OF
the violence of a disturbance late

BANKER MADE
STOCK VICTIM
BY LYLE c. WILSON
lited Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - The
complaint of Harold L. Stuart,
Chicago banker, that he was being
forced to walk the plank pirate
fashion by the Chase National
group which was seizing control of
Fox Film, Inc, in 1880, was read
today into the record of the senate
stock market investigation.
Stuart complained to Harley L.
Clarke, promoter of General The
aters Equipment, Inc, April 8, 1890,
the day after the Chase bank lent
$15,000000 to enable General The
aters Equipment to buy control of
the picture company from William
Fox.
Halsey, Stuart 81 Co., Inc, of
Chicago, were bankers for Fox
Film and Affiliated organizations,
but with the power of the Chase
bank millions behind him, Clarke
undertook to gain control of Fox
Film and to substitute Chase for
Halsey, Stuart as bankers in con-
templated lucrative financing oper-
ations.
~ have been put on the end of
q spring board and told to jump
off, Stuart complained to Clarke
in a telephone conversation on April
8.
"If you want to play ball with
me, you tell me what you have on
me, and if you have anything on
me, will come clean with you. 1
have a reputation as well as you
have,o Clarke replied
81 don't think you ought to talk
to me like that Stuart replied.
81 feel as though I have been
pushed out of the picture. Here s
one thing that disturbed me very
much. Mr.. Niver is a director of
the General Theaters and was not
invited to the meeting yesterday"

full, impeccably efficient. On his desk
were two telephones, always busy; in
his waiting room, obscured in fog of
cigar smoke were State committeeman,
national committeeman and future Am
bassadors; downstairs were dozens OF
typists, working hour after hour to send
out the voluminous correspondence.
His motto was, every one must be at
tended to and there must be no
mistakes.
O'Mahoney Request First.
So impressed was Jim Farley at the
amount OF grease he put on screeching
wheels that his first request for a
place on his official staff was Mr..
O'Mahoney.
From March until now Mr.. O'Ma-
honey has lived at the Wardman Park
with his wife, the former Agnes OLeary
of winchester, Mass. In the same
agreeable and effective fashion as he
used at Democratic headquarters, he
has weeded out and sorted postmaster
appointments. Once last Summer while
travelling from Charlotte to High Point,
N. c., where he addressed a State con-
vention of letter carriers and clerks, he
made stop in that State at the town
of Salisbury. Here he visited the old
Confederate prison where his father,
Dennis OMahoney, member of the
28th Massachusetts, Volunteers, was i'm
prisoned with group Of Union soldiers
for six months. During his speech at
High Point, Mr.. O'Mahoney related the
story his father had often told to him
OF an unsuccessful attempt to escape.
Having been lodged in underground
cells, Dennis OMahoney and the other
Union soldiers made an attempt to
escape by tunneling under the stockade
fence. Just as they were preparing to
make an underground rush for freedom,
a wagon going down the road outside
the fence. tumbled into the excavation.
Mr.. O'Mahoney drew the following

management Of succeeding Democratic
campaigns in that State. He directed
the State Committee in 1924, when Mrs
Nellie 7ayloe Ross was elected Cover
nor. In 1928 he was elected Demo-
cratic national committeeman for
wyoming. and four years later he was
appointed vice chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
All this time he had been building
up reputation for himself in the State
where he had lived 16 years. In 1882
came the moment when he could sell
his ability to the national figures. This
he did with the speed of a rocket. At
the Democratic convention in Chicago
he was a member of the subcommittee
of the Committee on Resolutions. The
years of pecking at dry law yielded
their harvest. He took an active part
in drafting the short platform on which
President Roosevelt was elected.
In August of last year he was called
to New York to Democratic head
quarters in advisory capacity. He ex-
pected to stay a few days and re-
mained to become Postmaster General
Farley's assistant.
Headquarters a Bedlam.
Democratic national headquarters was
a seething bedlam. Wild-eyed Progress
sive Republicans, burly Tammany men,
long winded. ancient Democrats who
hadn't peered out of their holes for IL
long years, mil1ed around the Biltmore
Hotel. In the midst OF this -agltateo
