STOCK LIST STEADY,
BUT TRADING Dull
Nervousness of Friday Gone
as Dollar Displays More
Strength.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November I1.-Stocks
ruled steady in today's week end mar
ket. Trading was very duh, but not
nervous as it was on Friday.
For one thing. the better support ac-
corded to Government bonds helped
sentiment toward the stock market. The
early strength in the dollar also was
beneficial. The fact is that the Street.
even the speculative element. Is no
longer able to assimilate too large doses
OF imitation medicine and O little dilu-
tion was welcome.
With one or two exceptions the COM
modify issues had no advantage over
the general industrials today. One Of
these exceptions was Patino Mines,
which went to new high for the year
on buying based on the advance in the
price Of tin. which in turn was due TO
the rise IN sterling. United States
Smelling and International Nickel were
all in good demand.
Motor Shares Firm.
Elsewhere In the list General Motors
continued to reflect investment absorp-
ton, as has been the case ever since the
extra dividend was announced. Motor
stocks in general were firm. Among
the public utilities the leader was West
ern Union, On the other hand, Amer
ican Telephone, directors Of which meet
for dividend action next week moved
very uncertainty. Railway stocks were
neglected except for New York Central,
which was shade higher. The Ca
madam gold stocks gave a good account
of themselves
The dollar rallied briskIy in London
before business began on this side. The
first quotation locally for sterling was
S50312, of cents while francs were
6.1815, down points, at the same time.
This trend was not maintained, how
ever. Sterling Immediately began to re-
cover the lost ground and before noon
was off only a little over a cent from
Fridays final. The franc recovered all
its loss.
Commodities Mixed.
London reported that the rise in the
dollar there was due to short covering
over the week end. The subsequent
relapse here was explainable by the
action of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation in raising the price of
domestic gold II cents an ounce to
point well above the London quotation
and comparing with an advance of only
5 cents on Friday. This seemed to
negative the idea that Washington was
now satisfied with the extent of the
dollar depreciation already achieved
and ready to call a halt.
Commodity markets were very irreg-
ular. There was no business in wheat
because of ArmiStice day observance.
Cotton was steady but that was all.
Silver futures opened lower but rallied
before the close. Rubber was little
changed Sugar reacted.
The best prices in the stock market
were made in the last hour, when there
was enough advance to suggest the re-
firing Of commitments for the decline
Few SPECTATORS these days are hardy
enough to risk position over Sunday,
a day on which in recent weeks so much
of importance has happened in Wash
ington.
The close was strong for all groups,
but especially the metals.

tipsy, staggering, indecent, des-
picable political legacy sneaker of
yesterday, Won Papen, is the polit-
ical bedfellow of Hitler today.
On August IA last year, Hitler's
"Angriff" wrote about DR.. Hugen-
berg'S party, "OW struggle must be
carried uncompromisingly against
this reactionary clique of megalo-
maniacS and selfish sabotagers 4.
They are at this moment even
more dangerous than Marxism."
Today Hitler and Hugenberg
sleep in one political bed.
On December End the "Angriff"
wrote: Against, Won Papen there

These quotations Of iincompli-

representatives of the petty-bour-
geoisie was also a foregoAe conclu-
sion. When one class is fighting
another class, which was the situa-
ton in Poland at that time, the
petty -bourgeoisie must follow in
the wake Of one of these two
classes, because it is unable to play
an independent role itself and lead
any other class into battle. Terri
fed by the "red bogey"-the in
exhauStible strength shown the
Polish proletariat since the very
beginning of the revolution Of 1905
the petty-bourgeoiSie rushed to
the side of the big bourgeoisie and
by their votes supported the party
representing capitalize National
Democratic Party. The National
Democrats were victorious all over
Poland, and Warsaw elected Franz
NowodWorSki, who later became
famous for his speech in the Duma
on the subject of amnesty. All the
prisons of Poland at that time were
so overcrowded that no room was
available even on the floor. Pan
Nowodworski, stirred by the spirit
then prevailing in Russia, was COM
PEELED to speak on behalf of the
Polish Kolo "a circle-a term
applied to the national bloc of all
Polish Parties in the Duma) to
support the demand for amnesty,
mentioning in his speech that on
his way to the Taurida palace he
saw prison van filled with polit-
ical prisoners.
The remarkable thing about this
was that he appeared to have
learned about the political mass
arrests only when he reached the
tsar's capital, only when the tsar's
agents had become thoroughly
frightened by the distinct rum
blings of social revolution. He had
never heard of horrors of the Polish
prisons when he was in Poland!
But this was by no means acci-
dental.
THE difference between the classes
L and the class struggle itself was
much more pronounced in Poland
than in Russia. An amnesty for
the fighters for the emancipation
of the working class was not bit
to the liking OF the Polish boW-
geoisie. Nowodworski, speaking on
the amnesty in the Duma, referred
only to his accidental encounter

"IS THIS BUILDING A
MASS PARTY IN u. S.?'

New York City, N. Y.
Editor Of Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
I want to make the following
criticism and like to have it pub
lished in the Daily Worker in order
to check up on the sources respon-
sible for party information to SYM
pathiZers. I signed at one of the
mass meetings in the Bronx Coli
scum some time ago a so called
information blank of the Commu-
mist Party. Six weeks have passed
and / have not received any answer
whatever in regard to my request.
I sincerely believe that this is ab-
5olutely impermiSsable. 1t means
that a sympathizer WHO comes to
one Of our mass meetings and is
earnestly interested in learning
more about our party in order to
join it through this serious lack of
responsibility of certain bodies in
our party, is antagonized.
Another one of the many cases
of responsibility is the careless
ness with which application cards
of new members are handled. A
conlrade who filled out his applica-
ton blank for membership in the
Communist Party some three
months ago, has never received any
kind of answer to his request. What
do the responsible functionaries of
the Party do about this? Can it
be that sympathizers who either
want to have information about the
party or want to join up are merely
neglected and forgotten?
The same comrade who made the
application collected $500 for the
Daily Worker drive. This proves
that this comrade ON his own in
iative has already been active for
the movement although the party
has not even found it necessary to
activiZe him still more by making
him member Of the c. P.
The responsible functionaries OF
the Party must see to it that those
things when not carried out prop
erly can be of great harm to the
revolutionary movement.
Comradely yours,

ON THE WAY

THE train pounds its way towards
Washington, past Manhattan
Transfer, the dirty creeks, the little
Jersey towns squat like ugly marsh
hens. In the smoker a brakeman,
OFF duty, complains to the con-
ductor about the bad times and
the cut in wages. A business man
finishes the sports page-Notre
Dame to Beat Trojans. He crack
less the paper to the front page.
Something about the hunger march
flares in the headlines. He snorts
as If a fly had blundered into his
nose. '"Those Reds'u get it in the
neck" Another business man with
a face like a roast mods in agree
rnent.
The farmers are also on a hun
ger march. Two hundred fifty in
trucks from all quarters OF the
country. Tough hickories it will be
hard to stop,
The train skirts bare fields, hud-
died farmhouses. 1t cuts through
the great truck region where Camp
bells Soup Co. has been bleeding
the farmers like a horseleech. The
dairy farmers here have been sell
ling milk at growing loss. A
thousand miles west grain rots in
1tfe fields. Wheat is the lowest in
history. Pillsbury, General Mills,
and General Baking are still max
ing millions net profit.
TIVE ANSWER.
This answers in a snap why the
1exners are on the march. This
explains why a thousand farmers
met in Sioux City in September to
trumpet call for a national con-
ference OF dirt farmers to meet in
Washington from December z to
10. But as quickly as the farmers
gather their forces so quickly does
the ruling class fling forward its
first attacking lines.

with the prison van filled with po-
liticals without mentioning events
in Poland, and in this way stressed
the point that he was only support
ing the demand of his Russian
colleagues Of the Duma.
1t was the Constitutional-Demo
Gratis in Russia who demanded the
amnesty.
However, the working class in
both countries estimated the tsar's
amnesty at what it was worth.
They knew that they could get
nothing from the tsar, they knew
that:
mo savior from on high deliver,
No trust have we in prince or peer,
Our own right hand the chains
must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
But the hour Of the 'last fight
had not yet struck The foe still
continued to mock and harass the
working class. The groans Of the
tortured and beaten we're still
heard behind the prison walls.
While the election campaign was in
progress, and the supervision Of
the elections and the measures for
the prevention and suppression OF
crime" lasted, the onslaughts Of the
police Slackened somewhat. Even
Skalon, the Governor General, was
SO absorbed in seeing that the elec-
tions were directsd in the proper
channel that he had no time left
for the examination Of court cases
or the ratification of sentences.
Nor was he in any hurry, for he
was convinced that his victims
could not escape him.
THIS suited us quite well, but it
i raised another danger. AS soon
as they we're released from the spe-
cial work connected with the elec-
tions, the police attacked the
working class with renewed vigor.
At any moment, some of our men
in the rescue squad might be
arrested. 1t was therefore neces-
sary to speed up things. The main
point not yet decided was where
to take the van with the escaped
prisoners. This was the hardest
nut to crack. Everybody agreed
that they were to be taken out OF
town. So "Anna" and T went re-
connoitring early one morning. 1t
was a bright day. Not cloud to
mar the blue sky. A cooling couple
taking an early walk in the sub
urbs was not calculated to arouse
any suspicious. The city was just
waking from its sleep. On our way,
we met workers on their way to
work an / peasant cars carrying all
| kinds of produce to the metropolis.

tons of the city, the houses grew
smaller and further between. Veg
