New York, Sept. = (UP) - Wide fluctuations in silver issues and wet stocks furnished the in- terest on the Stock Exchange to- day. Prices in the main list declin- ed moderately in slightly more ac- tive trading.
 U. s. Smelling extended it's yes terday loss of IA 1-2 points by 6 points and other silver issues dropped with it. Declines ranging to more than points were made by American Smelling, Howe Sound and Cerro De Pasco.
 It was learned late today that the securities and exchange com mission immediately sought the reason for the wild movement in the leading silver issued. The coni- mission learned from the Stock Exchange that there was no con certed short selling in the stock, but that it broke on a poor earn ing estimate. Ferdinand Pecora of the commission pointed out that since the section of the Stock Ex- change act which governs manipu- lation goes into effect on October l, nothing could have been done even if manipulation had been in- volved.

anti-aircraft guns to be furnished Poland. The government feels that the compensation for making pub lie what has heretofore been sec- ret, is in the building up of our facilities so they will be available in time of necessity" Further illustration of the de- partment's cooperation was reveal ed in letter to Driggs from Lieut.. Col. Townsend Whelen, of the or dnance department.
 We are in full sympathy with the work and with the building up of munitions work" Whelcn wrote in February, 1927, both in your own company and in other com >panies in this country, and we will be very glad to cooperate with you to the fullest extent possible ;f you will simply let us know what you wish"
 ''The king intervened in behalf of Vickers," Driggsf testified.
 Senator James P. Pope, d, Ida, read a cablegram from Driggs Polish agent dated January 20 1882. It said:
 King of Great Britain summon ed ambassador in London and in- tervened in 3-inch or 75 nm 50 cal guns on new mobile mount letter December 18th. 1928 contract stop Chief stands high pressure but great difficulty hold situation stop You must hasten summing com mission to America. Anxiously await your telegram promised for today"
 Chief Competitor
 Driggs said Vickers was his chief Polish competitor.
 The reference to "chief'' in the cablegram. Driggs said. was to ''The chief of ordnance."
 Driggs testified that the kings intervention was "The same kind of gesture that British royalty have been using of late to boost British business"
 Senator Homer T. Bone. d. Wash, asked if Vickers obtained the Polish order.
 "Oh. mo-" said Driggs. Nobody has got it yet"
 Immediately after the disclos- ure. the committee obtained evil dcnce that the navy department authorized snecial trip of the heavy cruiser Raleigh to Turkey in March. 1929. to advertise Drigss guns.
 Other Disclosures
 Disclosures at the morning ses- sion included:
 l. Evidence that an American naval officer, now retired. advised the government of Colombia on the best methods of defending itself against threatened Peruvian att tacks on the Amazon river in No- vember. 1882.
 2. That the war department "cooperated 100 per cent with the Driggs company. and that the navy denartn1ent likewise aided it.
 3. That the war department aided the Driggs company to ob- tain secret designs for ranid-firc anti-aircraft guns in an effort to build up the firms facilities in this country.
 Senator Arthur H. vandenberg, r. Mich. said it was paradox for governments to say they are trying to control armaments. while the king of England and the United States government and others are promoting their sales"
 Driggs disagreed. but said he be- lieved there should be some form of control over the great inter- national arms trade.

JOINED HANDS
 TO ENFORCE LAW

Chicago, Sept [ - CPD = Lock ed out employees of almost 100 cleaning plants joined the plant owners today in fight to compel employers of non-union labor to comply with MIRA price agree ments.
 Tickets were thrown around the four large plants against whom the protest is directed. Police guarded each building and escorted drivers on trips to retail shops.
 Two independent plants closed yesterday when mobs threatened property damage and a strike of union men closed another.
 Operators who voluntarily clos ed their plants have no quarrel with their employees. The campaign is against cleaners who have re- fused to abide by the MIRA code price lists. Employers of union labor said they could not meet cut prices of non-union shops.

 NOT BEEN HALTED
She Persists in Talking in New England - Agents
 of Govt Watch Her

Tra.led by police who sought to drive her from the city after forcing her to abandon q proposed monster communist strike rally. the dynamic. blond agitator found time to tell an interviewer:
 The UTWA policies in the silk strikes in New Jersey and New York were unsuccessful. President McMahon of the UTWA followed a policy that leads to defeat. We're here to see that the strikers win. We demand that there be no. arr bitrauon. The mediation boar,! suggested by President Roosevelt is not going to react in favor of the workers. We will demand mass picketing. The UTWA wanted it originally but was afraid to go through with it. We believe in the election of the rank and file to of- fees in organized labor. so that they will be in control instead of the present executives"
 It was reported that secret ser- vice agents had arrived at nearby New Bedford. where Mises Burlak lives with family of mill work CTS. to watch the activities of com munists, especially ''the red flame"
 Born 23 years ago in .Slatington. Pa, Miss Burlak quit work in a silk mill at the age of IA to plead the cause of textile workers throughout the east. She and her associates in the communistic na- tional textile workers union are called reds" she says. "becaue they're all red-blooded fighters whN aren't afraid to fight for their rights"
 She has been arrested a dozen or more times for her strike activ- ities, the charges including melting to insurrection in Georgia. and sedition in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. But she has never been convicted of anything. yet"

 Secret Designs Obtained
 Washington, Sept. z - (UP) = The senate munitions committee obtained evidence today that the war department in 1929 aided the Driggs Ordinance and Engineering company, New York, to obtain sec ret designs for rapid-tire anti-air- craft guns in an effort to build up the company's facilities in the United States.
 Louis L. Driggs, president of the company, first witness, asked the committee to prevent publication of certain confidential documents disclosing negotiations between his company and various governments.
 Chairman Gerald P. Wye, r., N. D.. said decision would be made when we come to something that looks as if it might hurt govern ment policies"
 Driggs, under direction of Sen. James P. Pore, d., Ida, said his company did bushes in Denmark, Turkey, Greece, Lithuania and number of South American coun- tries. His foreign business began in 1925 with trial order from Poland.
 Correspondence of the Driggs company disclosed that the war department .cooperated 100 per cent" with the munitions makers and was more concerned in haV- ing our plant get work than gov ernment plants.'
 Sen. Arthur H. VandenberG, r., Mich. charged that the department was ready to rob itself of designs developed by it's own engineers for the sake of American business"

This issue, however, included one to five year bonds, the three-year maturity being sold as low as on 2.70 per cent basis. This con- pares with per cent paid by the province in January 1926.
 The other provincial offering was a $3,000,000 per cent issue of the Province of Saskatchewan. These bonds were long term, maturing in 1853 and were sold to yield IA per cent This was a considerable improvement for two years ago this province had to pay 1-2 per cent for funds.
 Total bond sales through August this year are lower than in the cor responding period of 1883, due en- tirely to reduced Dominion govern ment financing. The following ta- ble shows in detail the bond sales for 1884 and 1888:
