German Nazis Dealt
Blow In Elections

New York-According TO the lat
est dispatch received by the Ameri-
can Committee of the International
Relief Association from the Cen
trail Office in Strasbourg, the
Nazis were dealt such a blow in
the recent nationwide "vertrau-
ems Leute" factory elections, that
thy did not dare publish the re-
suits. The dispatch reads. In part:
Despite the Nazi terror which is
increasing rather than diminishing
the German workers are beginning
TO voice their protest. The results
OF the recent elections OF tn "Ver-
trauens Leute" or workers repre-
sentatives in the factoies Is a clear
demonstration of this. The candi-
dates for each factory were nomi-
mated by the Nazis. No other nomi-
nations were permitted. The cleo
tons were held in the usual Nazi
manner with the workers closely
watched. Prison threats against
the workers are increasing. And
4yet. the following are some OF the
general results of these elections ::
In the armament factory of Fritz
Werner. -Marienfelde, which
has 1900 workers. $50 voted no.
$50 crossed out the list 400 alter
ed the list on the ballot, and only
700 returned the ballot as 1t was,
that is. voted I'm favor OF the can
didates In the AEG- Berlin, 25 per
cent void ballots were turned in.
Only 80 per cent of the votes In
the HAG-lIamburg were for the
Nazis. In Blohm and Vos, only %
per cent of the votes were for the
! Nazis.'
Two Documents
Two significant documents ac-
companied this dispatch. One is a
miniature four page newspaper,
3 Ia X 1-2, in the form Of a
/ photostatic glossy print so small II
must be read under a magnifying
glass. This is the first newspaper
published by an underground Ger
man trade union. More than page

stances.
Home owners Loan Corporation
IS, the Treasury 4hs, Liberty
31as and the Treasury IS of 1855
were among those going lower.
The selling in the Governments
is apparently due to a realign-
ment of yields in preparation for

COTTON STAGES
FAIR-S|ZED
RECOVERY

NEW YORK, Sept. S d.N.S0.
A moderate influx of buying
brought a fair-sized recovery in
cotton futures today, with con-
points Of yesterdays decline.
Trading continued at an active
pace, but renewed hedge selling
in early dealings was more than
offset by increased demand from
scattered sources. The bulk of
the buying was done by Liverpool
and the Continental trade.
There also were scattered Wall
Street and commission house pur-
chaseS for technical rally. Lo-
Gals followed their usual practice
OF selling on the opening upturn.
Liverpool Firm
Initial strength, with the list
showing overnight gains of to
IL points, was partially influ-
enced by the firm tone at Liver
pool, where prices were 10 to is
American points above due prices
at the time Of the New York call.
Opening advances were main
tanned throughout the forenoon.
Weather reports indicated heavy
rains during the past few days in
the Northern and Eastern portions
OF the cotton belt, with scattered
showers over the Central belt and
a small amount of moisture in
the East. It is generally believed
that the breaking of the Western
drought may be reflected in the
next Government crop estimate,
due Saturday noon.
Still another private estimate
was Forthcoming today placing
the cotton crop as of September
! at 100000 bales, as against the
August l Government figure of
9,195,0 bales. This brought the
average forecast to date down to
9,071,500 bales.
Consumption Lower
A report by the International
Cotton Federation placed consump-
tion of American cotton for the
year ended July 81 at 13,539,000
bales, against 14,170,000 in the
previous season. Consumption Of
foreign growths was put at 1885,
900, compared with 10,182,000.
Noon quotations were 8 to IL
points higher, with October up II
at 1910, December up II at 1922,
January up 8 at 1925, March up
IL at 1882, May up 8 at 1884, and
July up 8 at 1898.
