MYSTERY SHROUDS
|. SILVER SITUATION
Chinese Keep Miles Ahead
of Wall Street in Guess
ing Trends.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October 18.-Silver has
been added to the list of mysteries in
Wall Street in the last few days.
While still wondering how q wrongly
worded telegram could cause q break
in tobacco prices and not be corrected
until the next day, the Street learned
that the Stock Exchange had dropped
a stock from its list that never had
been listed. This mystery was ex-
planned with the statement that the
exchange never intended to dictate so
openly to the New York Curb Ex-
change. but that it, rather than the
curb, had received orders from the
Securities and Exchange Commission
to suspend the stock. The Securities
Exchange Commission had mailed in
structions to the wrong exchange.
Mistakes Can Be Explained.
And now along comes silver Broker
age organizations can take the mystery
out of Wall Street security machinery
and technique. They can explain
mistakes such as those cited above, and
sometimes they do fairly well in in
terpreting Washington statements on
monetary policy, but silver Is different.
Silver is shrouded In Oriental mys-
terry. Locally, those who know don't
tell. Those who don't know, try to
tell. Chinatown is only a mile away
y.n tr @y1lr AyT
hourse by cable from Shanghai, but
somehow the Chinese always seem to
be miles and days ahead of their Wall
Street brethren when it comes to guess
ing silver movements.
Shanghai dollars fell few cents in
the last several days, but local Chinese
were not hit by the fall. Take that
from a brokerage house and a local
bank with important Chinese clients.
These two sources are authorities for
the statement that the mysterious
break in rubber last month started in
Shanghai, where spectators switched
from rubber to silver, which has en-
joyed a substantial rise since then.
Currency War Talked.
Some Of the big banks with Far
Eastern connections concede that they
did not foresee the recent rise in silver
and don't know how much Of an ORR
entail currency war to expect.
A currency war in the Orient, waged
between China and Japan for world
trade, would bring into play the trad
ing talents of two of the worlds
shrewdest trading groups. Battles be-
tween the yen and Shanghai and Hong
Kong dollars would affect the pound
sterling, the gold bloc currencies and
the dollar.
What move will China make next
with silver? Will India Offset such q
move? What does Japan plan with
the yen? These questions form part
of the great silver mystery.

TN colonial countries Communists

gress of the Communist Party of the

Outstanding among imperiaIist
powers which enforce their rule by

cnial peoples is the British empire.
whose growth from earliest times to

Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union fur section has shop control,
there are $500 floor boys who re-
ceive SO to $40 a week. They are
not organized, nor covered by our
union agreements. Under the pres
sure of Y. c. L. comrades in the last
strike the union was compelled to
bring forward the demand of $40
week for them. They were called
out and struck. When the agree
ment was made they were left out.
Many were fired for strike activity.
And no steps were taken to fight for
their reinstatement"
Due to the fact that his time was
soon up, Comrade Hathaway could
deal only briefly with the Young
Pioneers. He urged Communists in
all mass organizations to do their
utmost to recruit the children for
the Young Pioneers, and to get sub
scriptions for their magazine, The
Young Pioneer.
Youth Important In Strength Of
Revolutionary Movement
IF we go forward on the basis of
the line given at this convention,
penetrating the factories" he said
in his conclusion IF we go forward
on these fronts and in connection
with these develop much broader
activity among the young workers,
bringing them to the fore in the
struggle, then, comrades, I am sure
that the young workers will play
a very big part in building the
revolutionary movement in America,
TT is from them that we will get
some Of our best, some of our ablest,
most militant and most energetic
cadres. 1t is from them that we
will be able to develop that force
that will play leading role in the
trenches and in industry in the ap-
preaching war. We will then be
in better position to approach our
revolutionary tasks"
Immediately on the conclusion of
Comrade Hathaway's speech q dele
gate made motion that the speech
be published Immediately as a PAM
pl1let addressed to the Party Young
Communist League, and the Amer
lean Youth.

First of all, because the
Party is the rallying point
for the best elements Of the
working class, of those who
are in touch with the non

tons, and are often leaders
in these. In the second
place, because the Party, as
a rallying point for the best
elements of the working
class, forms the best train
ing school for leaders COM
petent to guide every kind
of working-class organiza-

Party, as the best training

leaders, is the only organi-
cation competent, in virtue
of its experience and au-
thority, to centralize the
leadership of the prole-
tartan struggle, and thus to
transform all non-Party

into accessory organs and
connecting belts linking up
the Party with the working
class as a whole.

Railroad Worker at
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Struggle on the Job
Inspires Delegates with Vivid Details of the Fight
for Unity, Day-to-Day Demands
BY H. C.

CLEVELAND, Ohio Convention
HalD.-I have heard many veteran
Party fUncuonaries speak often on
the united front, work on the basic
industries, trade unions and show
ing the face Of the Party But it
was a unique experience to hear the
refreshing way all these questions
were treated by railroad worker
delegate to the Eighth National
Convention. No stereotyped phrases.
1t was just ike sitting in the
roundhouse with the boys all gath
cred around listening to Bill eX-
plain what the Communist Party is,
what it aims to do. Here was the
program Of the Party breathing the
scrid smoke Of the locomotives;
words passed between switching
boxcars; the Party riding the rail-
roads in the person Of an eloquent
spokesman who could put ques-
tons of Communism simply and
win his fellow workers,
This delegate had to overcome
the greatest obstacles in order to
get into the Party. Once having
found his way in, nobody could
keep him away, or inactive. From
his very first sentence, the Conven-
ton was held by the speech as if
by a powerful magnate. He was
one of the first to participate in
the discussion on Comrade Brow
der's report. I took his speech
down word by word. I would urge
every Party member, every worker,
to observe how he puts the build
ing of a united front Of workers Of
diverse political views, how this
new Party member works within
the railroad brotherhood. single
handed. as it we're, yet correctly;
and with what resultsl
Convention rules prohibit giving
this comrades name or the locality
he comes from.
Here is his speech in full-that is,
as much as he could deliver before
his time was up:
Looking for the Party" for Years
THE greatest difficulty 7 had was
