STOCK QUOTATIONS
STEADY At CLOSE
Prices Fairly Even Through
Session, but Volume Drops
to 10000.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, June 30.-The stock
market passed out of the self-gov-
erning picture and into Federal con-
troll today without any noticeable
fanfare or cheering. While prices
held fairly even throughout the brief
session. the trading pace was around
the slowest rate in the last 10 years.
Transfers approximated l80, 900 shares.
The close was steady.
The market bade farewell to the
second quarter of the year In the
midst of a heat wave which drove
most spectators out of the city and
left the board rooms virtually de
serted Brokerage sentiment. while
gloomy because of lack of business,
were still fairly optimistic for the
long pull" At the same time, few
operators apparently cared to back
up their opinions with an expansion
of commitments.
Grains furnished no cue for equity
movements. Wheat, corn and the
other cereals, at noon. showed ex-
tremely small variations. Cotton i'm
proved Rubber and silver futures
we're not traded owing to the Satur-
day closing of the commodity ex-
change. Bar silver was unchanged
at 46A cents an ounce. Bonds were
again quiet and mildly mixed. The
dollar continued firm in terms of
leading foreign exchanges.
Shares Of Nash Motors advanced
point and Chrysler. General Motors
and Auburn held small advances.
Moderately higher prices were re-
corded by American Can, Bethlehem
Steel. New York Central, Kennecott,
Du Pont and United States Steel pre-
ferred. Santa Fe rallied a point.
as did Dome Mines. United States
Smelling was up nearly as much.
Such issues as United States Steel
common, American Telephone, West
ern Union, Consolidated Gas. General
Motors, American Smelling, Union
Pacifia Howe Sound and Mcintyre
Porcupine were virtually UNCHANGED.
Case and American Tobacco B were
little heavy.
The relative steadiness OF the
motors was attributed partly TO the
unexpected Nash dividend of 25 cents
a share which was announced after
the close yesterday following reavi-
ness throughout most of the auto
mobile group. Estimates Of pick
up in sales in the wake Of sharp
price reductions on virtually all class
es of cars was also a factor.
Cautious buying in the metals was
believed to reflect the persistence OF
inflationary sentiment despite the
lack of indications at Washington
that anything drastic will be attempt
ed in the near future.

Exchange Decides
Kresge Plan Fair
To Stock Holders
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 30.-A new
wrinkle In the determination of mar
ket value of a security for protection
of shareholders was disclosed yester-
day at the New York Stock Exchange.
Recently the committee on stock
list, it was recounted, was informed
by the Kresge Department Stores of
plan whereby s. S. Kresge, head of
the company, proposed to turn over to
it 100000 in cash and a block of
preferred stock at $50 a share in part
payment of a debt of S2,000,000, plus
$225 900 In accrued interest.
The obligation had been incurred
by Kresge in purchasing from the
company in October, 1881, its half in
terest in company operating de-
partment store in Newark, N. J.
The committee objected to the plan
because the preferred stock, an in
active issue. had been selling around
$40 and SIS share on the exchange.
Then the company agreed to invite
tenders from preferred shareholders
SUFFICIENT to exhaust the 100000 and
to take Kresge's preferred stock at the
average price of the tenders.
The exchange announced it had
been informed the average price re-
sulting from this competitive offering
was $3.50 a share.
The committee on stock list decided
the plan was fair method of estab-
fishing market value.

Though we started our march only
IS to 80 strong, surrounded by cops,

men, our ranks swelled to over 600
before we reached the City Hall.
Notwithstanding the police provo
cations we stayed our ground and
waited in the cold in front of the
City Hall until our delegation re-
turned from the conference with
Mr.. Barlow. Then we marched back
to our hall and listened to the re-
port of our delegation.
We decided to follow up our dem
onstration with series of open-air
meetings to be held every Thursday
evening streSsing the Importance of
our demand for so cents per hour.

These steps, so far as can be
ascertained at present, are only be-

NEW YORK-After being told
by the boss to get out of the Raye

cause she was an active union

When Rose Heller went to the
shop yesterday morning the man
ager, Harry Samuels, told her that
he had orders from the union to
put her out Of the shop because
"she caused too much trouble"
This is just one of the many
cases of the ousting of militant rank
and file members from the Millinery
Union by corrupt leadership, the
rank and file state. The rank and
file of the local are preparing to
launch a vigorous protest against
the expulsion of Rose Heller, who is
well known for her militant trade

ton"
During the negotiations in the
first strike it was Mr.. Thomas who
raised the question of a survey as
the main problem and put the ques-
ton of immediate needs, such as
wages, the return of the nickle, into
the background, thus giving only
pie in the sky to the workers, which
is a very good stock in trade on
the part of this former preacher and
now Socialist" misleader. It was

The Socialist Party leaders in the
last strike further continued their
policy of treachery, beginning with
raising the red scare" in order to
split the unity of the strikers. It's
strike leaders in the Bronx lined
up with the Tammany elements in
the union in an attempt to prevent
militant mass action and demon
STATIONS as advocated by the lead
ers Of the Manhattan Local, which
would have forced the fleet owners
to terms. The greatest action Of
betrayal was the instructions by the
Socialist Party not to support the
conference call issued by labor
unions for relief to the strikers.
In spite Of this sabotage, unions
and mass organizations in New
York City, under the leadership
of the labor committee set up at
the conference, collected nearly
$4,000 in support of the strike.
The Socialist Party leadership
further supported the proposals Of
Mrs. Herrick of the Regional La
Dor Board, which suggested that the
men go back and take a vote after
wards. The Socialist Party attacked

with them whole gang of profess

seeing that it would be impossible
to make plain racket out of the
union and that the policy of Orner,
Gilbert, Cantor and other militant
elements was one of always bring
ing every problem before the rank
and file, have now become allies of
the Socialist Party leaders in order
to stif1e the militant union for
struggle against the feet owners,
against company unionism and pre-
vent real rank and file democracy.
When a meeting of the garage
chairmen decided to elect an exec

would have to be responsible to the

membership should study closely the
black record of their leadership and
reject this new move for betrayal
and splitting Of the organization.
The taxicab drivers in New York do
not want the Pankens and LEWIS,
but have fun confidence in the
leadership Of the militant elements
around Orner and Gilbert, and It
is Of the utmost importance for
every hackman to clean out imme-
diately all Of the racketeering and

local and reject the splitting tactics

The streng thening and building
of powerful garage committees COM
prisiBg the best fighting men tn rep
resent them, building a real union
based on democratic control of the
rank and file, must be the answer
to these misleaders. The Taxicab
Drivers Union should begin imme-
diately to take up all of the grew
ances Of the men in the respective
garages for economic demands and
at the same time prepare for the
coming struggles for full union rec
ognition and complete defeat OF
company unionism.
The taxicab drivers of New York
City must reject the attempts of
the Socialist Party leaders to drive
them into the A. F. of L. The union
must take up determined struggle
against the revocation of the licenses
and reinstatement of any hlacklisted
men. The union should begin q
serious struggle for the unity OF the
white and Negro drivers against any
discrimination and blacklisting and
for the right of the Negro cab driv-
ers to be employed outside of Har-
lem. The building of a powerful
independent union of taxioab driv-
ers, controlled by the rank and file
and in unity with other transporta-
ton workers will be the best answer
to the splitting policy Of the Socialist
Party leadership and its Tammany
and LaGuardia henchmen.

distortion and censorship despite
the fiction of "objectivity," Mar
guerite Young, Daily Worker Wash

day night in lecture on Press Re-

The meeting was under the aus
pieces of the Press League. Three
hundred and fifty people attended,
while $50 were turned away because
of lack of room.

the working class point of view
she said. "But 1 submit that we

present more complete and truth
full picture of events than does the

only by knowing the whole truth
can the workers effectively combat
the forces at work in the events we
