NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK. Dec. %. R-Stead-
Ter tendencies appeared In the stock
market Thursday but holiday hestia-
ton still persisted and price chan
ges. on the whole. were narrow.
The utilities found some support
on the theory that they probably
had been oversold. At the same time
most OF them did not proceed very
far on the return trip. Scattered in
duStrials developed moderate
strength and the rails YER without
any definite trend. Activity was
somewhat more pronounced than
IN Wednesdays session. The news,
aside from that pertaining to the
power and light issues, was inter-
preted constructively.
Grains were somewhat easier and
cotton did not seem to be able 70
attack any substantial bulliss. fol-
lowing. A few utility bonds show
ed resistance. but trading in most
corporation loans was Of a cautious
character. Foreign exchanges were
featureleSS.
Shares OF Public Servite OF New
Jersey dipped to a new low, but
subsequently came back for a small
net gain. American Telephone,
American Water Works. Consolidat-
ed Gas and North American i'm
proved fractionally. Inland Steel got
up around 4 points on a few trans
fers.
This was the last day for regular
stock sales to establish income tax
losses and considerable activity in
the utilities and other groups how
ering around their lows was attri-
buted to these transactions. Friday,
Saturday and Monday tax selling
will have to be conducted on a cash
basis. Some selling Thursday TO rec
ord profits in issues now near their
best levels for the year were also
reported.
Market commentators were hope
full that relief from tax selling,
coupled with January reinvestment
demands. would bring substantial
improvement in the list after the
start of the New Year. II was point
ed out that there have been only
three occasions since 1920 in which
stocks. as measured by the aver
ages. have failed TO finish higher
on the first trading day of the new
year than the close of the session
preceding the Christmas holiday.

January 81; February I and Febru-
airy 2. II has been decided by the

likely be followed by a repeat ses-
sion" for officers and justices who

came interested In the Cameron

friend and school mate TO Bowie at
Oxford.
Bowie contacted Lester in wash
ington recently when the Cameron
county attorney attended a nation
al crime conference as the repre-
sentative Of the state OF Texas.
Hoover has written Bowie that he
would be glad to cooperate with the
school in every way possible, and Il

OF the department will appear at
the short course.

Boston Strike
of Food Union
Stands Solid


BOSTON, Mass. Dec. 12.--Work-
ers of the restaurant at the Gill
christ Department Store are out on
strike, under the leadership of Local
Ill of the Food Workers Industrial
Union.
The strikers demand Is per cent
increase in Wages; 48 hours week
for men, AZ hours for women; elm
ination of the company union dues;
no discrimination for union activ-
tiles; sufficient and wholesome food
furnished free to the workers; and
union recognition.
This is the first strike for most of
the workers, and is an outburst
against the continually worsening
conditions. The requested wage in
crease would only compensate par
TALLY previous wage cuts.
When a committee of workers
presented the demands, the COM
pany asked for three days time to
consider them. The reason given is
that the union does not seem as
respectable as an American Fed
Grafton of Labor union" The work
ers refused to grant the three days
and came out. Picketing is carried
on regularly with good effect.
