CURB ISSUES SHOW
IRREGULAR TREND
Changes Are Slight, With
Volume Of Trading at
Lower Rate.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The curb
market moved irregularly in today's
session. The pace at times was not
quite as fast as In the same period
Wednesday.
Electric Bond & Share was off " point
at periods, but in the early afternoon was
unchanged. Cities Service barely budged,
but Standard Oil of Indiana was
shade lower American Gas & Electric
most of the time was up " point.
Niagara Hudson Power was of that
amount.
Optimistic predictions of leaders of
the steel and iron industry, which were
reinforced by further reports Of gains
from the automotive, copper and textile
trades, formed solid background for
early advances in many shares.
Railroad and steel and allied shares
were the feature of trading IN the Sec
ond hour, but miscellaneous metals were
taken up in the early afternoon. Ala
bama Great Southern, Pennroad Cor
poration, Aluminium Co., Newmont
Mining, New Jersey Zinc and Lake
Shore Mines were active at this time.
Wright Hargreaves, however, was the
first of the Canadian gold shares to
climb to new heights. Later Hollinger
and Teck Hughes turned active
A. o. Smith Corporation came within
fraction of its previous peak. This
company increased its output of steel
barrels and automobile frames. Coll
solidated Gas of Baltimore In the third
hour recovered most Of its forenoon
loss. Other high-priced utilities Jagged.
In the natural gas group National Fuel

JUNIOR RAIL BOND
LIST SHOWS GAINS
New High Prices Quoted for
Some Issues-Treasury
Group Irregular.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 25-The strength
of the lower-priced and intermediate
grades of railroad bonds continue to
be the feature of the market today
along with some sharp advances In IN
active industrials.
There was more hesitation indicated
In United States Treasury loans and
less definite trend to this section OF the
market. A feature of the foreign olVl-
sion was the strength in Canadian gov
ernment bonds, which have been stead
ily rising for some time and in which
a recovery of 4 to over points from the
lows of last Winter has already taken
place.
A number of new high prices were
reached in railroad bonds. Consplcu-
Gus in this group were the issues OF
the Great Northern, Chicago & North
western, Baltimore g. Ohio, New YORK
Central, Northern Pacific and Wabash.
The vitality of this group is surprising,
as present gains are being made fol-
lowing a recovery that amounts to from
20 to 80 points in the higher priced
issues and of several hundred per cent
IN those that were not so long ago at
about the level of non-dividend common
stocks. Evidences of change of outlook
include the prospect Of earnings in the
second half of this year sufficient to
meet fixed charges that In 1882 were
only covered about so or rs per cent.

The heroic struggle of the Ambridge
workers from the first day of the
strike until they gave way before the
armed terror only when they left the
streets strewn with their wounded
and dead is one OF the most stirring
examples of the nlilitancy and deter
mination of the American workers.
Men and women picketed day and
night against the greatest odds. In
the very face Of the oncoming thugs,
massed in military formation, one OF
the strike leaders jumped up and de-
clared: Men, we will go down fight
ing!"
Nothing short of wholesale murder
could have crushed the mass picket
ing of the Ambridge workers. But
these wholesale murders cannot pre-
vent the rapid development of future
struggles.
The Anbridge workers look upon
the Steel and Metal Workers Union
as their most powerful weapon, tenn
porarily defeated by superior forces.
During the worst days of the terror, it
functioned, at heavy loss of forces.

FROM Norman Thomas's appeal this

step along the same road. Nor was
the General speaking abstractly. He
had in mind the method of making
intolerable the steel strike in Am

mode of expression, it was here that

steel workers. Many of the steel work.
erS took the MIRA. proviSo about
right of unionization in deadly earn
est, and chose the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union. But they
put all their reliance In strike to
gain their demands.
Ambridge was like suffering fuse
ready to set off general steel strike.
The iron heel of the steel trust
stamped out the kissing spark be-
cause it was placed too near the in
flammable coal strike. But the fires
of struggle are burning in a hundred
places.
But the battle Is just beginning.
From every important steel mill In
the Pittsburgh area the report comes
that the overwhelming majority of
the workers are ready to strike. The
question we must ask is: What effect
will the Ambridge massacre have on
this strike sentiment, and how will
the Steel and Metal Workers Union
come out OF this grueling test?
Retreat for the Advance
The result of the organized fascist
attack on the mass picket lines in
Ambridge has had the effect Of max
ing the workers temporarily recoil -
only the better to continue and en-
large the offensive. 1t has cleared the
fround Of many illusions about the
N.R.A. and workers rights. It has
put Harvard as the problem Of the
day more thoroughgoing strike prep
aration and organization, and the
necessity Of concentrating in num-
Der Of decisive centers.
The Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union, which had been grow
ing very rapidly before the Ambridge
strike, is now faced with its first re-
treat. 1t now has to work under con-.
ditions of extreme terror and unex-
ampled difficulty. This is true not
only IN Ambridge, but in every steel
mill in the country.

Throw Feeney Out
Together With His
3 Scab Letters
BY a Mine worker Correspondent

BY a Mine Worker Correspondent
BENTLEYvILLE, Pa.-Last Tues
day a huge meeting of over 10000
striking miners was held at Searight
in Fayette County. The meeting I'M
animously went on record to con-
tinue the strike until we win.
This was to be rank and file
meeting. All the speakers were to be
strikers from various locals. The only
exception was Attorney Calvocanto,
personal informant of Governor Pin
chot. Mr.. Calvocanto, who at the be-
ginning Of the strike made melting
speeches, in order to win the conf
dence of the miners, pleaded with us
to go back to work. He tried to make
an impression that the H. G. Prick
Co. had signed the agreement by
signing the coal code. Mr.. Calvo-
canto was booed down.
AS the meeting was in progress a
truck pulled in, equipped with a loud
speaker. The truck had the appear

truck was none other but Mr.. Feeney,
appointed District President Of the
Fayette District. The chairman of
the meeting gave him sarcastic in
PRODUCTION. Mr.. Feeney brought three
letters to the meeting: one from J..
L. Lewis, one from Governor Pinchot
and one from President Roosevelt
all three demanding that the miners
return to work.
These were the heavy guns of Mr..
Feeney. But he had no chance to
use them. AS soon as he appeared
and opened his mouth there wasn't
man in the crowd of 10000 that did
not boo and holler, demanding that
Feeney shall not speak. Within few
minutes Feeney was forced to leave
without reading the strike breaking
letters. The whole body of the min
ers started after the truck, which sped
away.
Our ranks remain solid 1t is now
entirely up to the rank and file min
ers to win the striks.

'BOZO DEMICH.
.UMWA FAKER.
KEPT ON RUN.
Miners Furious at His
Strike-Breaking Role
Threaten Him
BY . Mine Worker Correspondent


ELLSWORTH, Pa.-Here in the
Ellsworth Branch one of the latest
organizers Of the UM.W.A., Bozo
Demich, did everything possible to
keep us from striking. We came on
strike despite his orders. Now he is
doing everything possible to drive us
back to work in those mines that
signed the open shop agreement and
in those mines that did not sign the
agreement at all. After we refused
his orders to go back to work, fat
Bozo began to spread rumors, telling
the miners in one mine that the
miners in other mines voted to go
back to work.
These rumors caused every local on
this branch to call special meetings
last Tuesday, only to find out that not
one mine and not even one miner
voted to 60 back to work. At these
special meetings all the locals voted
unanimously to continue the strike.
After the meetings, which Bozo did
not dare to attend, he came on the
onA SCg w OoAn W q SAOoP VA AAiAhACA o.
If he did not decide to run mighty
fast after five minutes of CONVERSE
ton, Bozo unquestionably would have
found himself in hospital. Such
was the reception of the miners.
On his way home Bozo met an
other group Of miners from another
local and began conversation with
them. This time Bozo had even
worse luck. He had no time to even
step into his house but was forced
to miss 1t, SO fast was he running,
with his big belly.
This Is the kind Of treatment all
the Bozos deserve. But this is not
enough. 1t Is not enough to chase
these strikebreakers on the streets.
The way to make them harmless to
the cause of the miners is to kick
them out of our organization and
keep them out. This is necessary now
more than ever before If we want to
win our strike.

BY a Mine Worker Correspondent
BELLAIRE, The miners of
Eastern Ohio received the new
agreement which was put over by the
coal operators and the Lewis ma
chine. I never saw such a great dis
satisfaction. Every miner is dissat-
isfied with the agreement; all are
bitter against 1t.
The check-off was put into effect
and every penny that Is checked-off
by the company office from the min
ers is to be sent TO the district sec
rotary in Columbus. do not know
whether the locals will receive any
money or not.
The miners are against many points
in the agreement but especially
against the check-off and the way
it has been arranged. The locals are
preparing to call special conven-
ton in the very near future. It APP
pears to me that bitter struggle will
take place between the miners and
the strike-breaking officials.

were set up in nearly every mill. The
crushing of the strike has tempo
rarily ruptured these committees set
up during the pre-strile period. Many
of the strike leaders were victinized
and lost their jobs. A few-an insig-
nificant few-capitulated to the ter
ror, and openly severed their union
connections. But on the whole, the
workers have correctly estimated the
situation. 1t was impossible under
the conditions of organized fascist
gangs, without the more rapid spread
of the strike to more decisive mills, to
continue.
They recognize that the union
fought valiantly; that all its leaders
stuck to their posts and suffered the
consequences of shooting, torture and
imprisonment. They did not realize
the brutality. ruthlessness and the
might of the forces they were fight
ing. They now feel that the union
must be built stronger, more pains
takingly; that now they must work
under martial rule conditions in re-
forming their committees and prepar-
ing for future action.

Strike Sentiment Growing on Wide Front in
Most Important Steel Mills; Battle in
Steel Is Just Beginning

Steel Corporation plant in Clarion,
Pa, as their point of attack to draw
steel workers into common strike
against the powerful steel corpora
ton. The choice was an excellent
one. The Carnegie Steel plant at
Clarion is the largest coke products
unit in the United States, supplying
coke for all of the U. S. Steel mills
in the vicinity. The successful clos
ing down Of this plant would have put
the cold hand of a general stoppage
on all of the steel giants.

and second, what the gains OF the
