TWO LEADERS OF
 LABOR ARRESTED
London Prepares for the Big Invasion By Army
 of Unemployed

London, February 24 - (UP)- Tom Mann, IS year old labor leader and Harry Pollitt, communist leader, were held charged with making seditious speeches today as the government awaited the de- scent on London of 2,000 unem- ployed marchers due tomorrow for a week of demonstrations against the governments unem- ployment bill, now before parlia- ment.
 Prime Minister Ramsay Mac donald yesterday refused to see a deputation representing the un- employed. on the ground that the purpose of the march was com munistic and could do the unem- ployed no good.
 Fifteen hundred delegates to what was called the national congress of action," including rep resentatives of marchers and Lon don unemployed, at a meeting in the east end today demanded re- lease of Mann and Pollitt, charac- terizing their arrest as a deliberate blow by the government against the united front of the working class"
 A communistic tinge was ap- parent. Delegates sang as they arrived and gave the ''red front salute -- Fists upraised. policemen and detectives were thick abou the Bermondsey town hall where the meeting was held.

New York, Feb "A - CUP - Stocks ran into definite downward reaction this week and nearly all groups closed lower than a week ago. Volume was light and was further reduced by the Washing tons birthday holiday Wednesday.
 A feature of the week was the one-h hour late opening on Tuesday when a blizzard cut off New York $ suburbs and isolated many stock exchange members. Storm effects were felt on Wednesday which also was unsettled by pre-holiday sell ing. On Friday the market opened steady to firm and then broke sharply. The industrial and utility averages lost 2.36 points and 0.71 point respectively, exactly the same losses recorded in these averages on February g, the widest decline of the year.
 Washington news had a dampen- ing influence. Hearings on the stock exchange regulation bill gave the the congress would en- act rigid control legislation, and many sold their stocks anticipating such a move. Then, too, Washington also provided such news as an in vestigation of leading packing com panies on charges of price fixing; further investigation of liquor pools and airplane mail contract discussion. In connection with the latter, it was learned companies whose contracts were cancelled re- gently could bid on carrying air mail at a fixed rate of ? mills per pound mile.
 Business news contained more favorable than unfavorable items. Steel operations were stepped up; car loadings made favorable showing as did electricity output Automobile production continued at an active pace. In connection with the latter, however, was the fear of spreading strikes in some of the automobile plants.
 Selling in stocks was heaviest among the packing shares and they registered wide declines. Silver is- sues were down sharply as were farm equipments, chemicals, steels rails, utilities and special issue Airplane isues reversed their re-

2 points to 53 1-2, and held most of the gain. U. s. Steel touched 57, but later sold off toward the 56 level. Republic lost a small gain.
 New York Central was weak feature in an easier rilroad group. Carriers were down fractions to more than point generally despite favorable car loadings report for the week ended last Saturday. That report showed car loadings at 59S,S96 cars, a rise of 26,392 cars from the preceding week; S1,367 from the 1893 week, and 26,631 cars from the 1852 week.
 Utilities opened easy and con- tinued to decline in later dealings, Around the close they were. off fractions to more than point. Losses of point or more were made by Sears Roebuck, Montgom- cry Ward, International Harvester, Johns Manville, and Union Carbide. International Silver ran into an air pocket and dropped more than 3 points. Union Pacific dropped 2 points to 126.
 Short covering in the aviation group was an early feature. At the highs, United Aircraft sold at 26 1-4,- up 3-4; Aviation Corporation 8 1-2, up l and Douglas Aircraft "A 1-2, up 1 1-2. These gains were reduced late in the session. U. S. Smelling was firm for a time but it, too, succumbed to the general decline. It touched 126 1-2, up l 1-2. Shortly before the close it sold at 124. Silver issues gener- ally were lower with it. Silver fu- lures lost a few opints after recent strength.
 Bonds sold off with stocks. Spec Clative issues in particular were depressed. United tSates govern ments were steadier than the main list although under the previous close. French bonds, exceptional to the trend, advanced. Commodities | moved in narrow range. Cotton near the close showed small gains, while rubber was down slightly. | Grains were steady.
 FOREIGN EXCHANGE London, Feb. "A =. (UP) = The dollar was steady today. The gold | rate was raised on cent to $34.65. | It was estimated that the present

Improvement Noted
 In Canadian Trade
Continued Rise for Past Four Weeks With All ndices
 Still Pointing Upward

Montreal, Feb. 24.-"Canada' trade barometer has continued to rise during the past four weeks, and still points upward" says the Bank of Montreal in it's current trade review issued today. "All in- dices indicate improvement. For eign commerce in January rose in value 40 per cent. over the like month in 1883. Staple and other commodities shared in the gain, and only the slow movement of wheat prevented still more strik- ing increase, thought in the case of this cereal it is noteworthy that the price last month averaged 65 cents per bushel against A 1-5 cents a year ago. Bank clearings make favorable comparison with last year, as do bank debits, and railway earnings are showing sub- stantil gin.
 "Impulse to business is given by the greater stability and steadiness of commodity prices. The Do- minion Bureau index figure of wholesale prices in January, 7O.6, is nearly seven points higher than a year ago. In this recovery farm products, notably hogs and wheat, have participated, and upon the whole farm and dairy output is realizing better prices. Since the base of the index is 1926 100, there is yet long climb to be made to

Hartford, Feb. 24 - Thirteen teams, the survivors of elimination contests held in four cities of the state, will meet this afternoon and tonight in the finals of the Connec- ticut Bridge League team -of-four championship tournament at the Hartford Bridge club, $50 Farm tngton avenue. Play in the after noon session begins at ? o'clock, and will be resumed after the dinner interlude, at D. m.
 While a number of the teams are considered closely matched, it is felt that the combination of Mir and Mrs Harold T. Hartwell of Stamford and their companion pair, Howard Paine and J. B. Wardwell, have an edge on the rest of the field, although they did not qualify highest in their pre- 1iminaries. Mir and Mrs Hartwell an exceptionally skilled pair, were part of last years winning team of-four. while Messrs Paine and Wardwell are the former state pair champions.
 This cam will be closely watch cd all through the match, and will be subject to continued pressure. It is generally supposed that if the Hartwell- Paine Wardwell group goes down under the strong at tack which will undoubtedly be launched against it from all quar- ters, the winner of the tournament will be one of the three teams en- tered from the Hartford district.
 New Haven bridgelovers, how ever, are strongly backing their four entries, which include two teams of high caliber. Much is also expected of the Waterbury en- trants. It is reported, however, that one or two of the stronger teams of this city were eliminated in the preliminaries, and that the entrants do not represent the best that Waterbury could arbitrarily have thrown into the match.
 Waterbury, Bridgeport and Hartford are each entering three teams, while New Haven, by vir- tue of having had larger entry list in it's preliminaries, is sending up four. Much disappointme has been felt that the team of Josiah H. Peck, president of the league, failed to qualify. The four, which finished with great strength in the Hartford preliminaries, fell a hair short of reaching the finals. Mir Peck will be tournament director of today's matches.
 Forty-eight boards in all will be played today to decide the cham pionship. It is estimated that a score of 30 will probably be suffi- cient to win. This would represent a percentage of 621a which is a good showing in a team -of-four- struggle where the contestants are 50 we'll matched as those who meet today.
 The teams entered from each city, and the order in which they qualified, are as follows:
 New Haven
 Professor Franklin Edgerton, Frederick Sweeney, Dr Robert Seabury and H. r. Westervelt, Jr.
 Joseph D. McNutt, president of the Whitney Bridge club, c. A. White and Mir and Mrs c. k. Gordy.

 There is growing conviction that business is entering into bet ter times, gradual though the re- covery be, and this confidence aids in reaching the desired end. There is less unemployment.

 Beginning Tuesday it is expected that just city and Mutual Aid em- ployes will do the work.
 Had Hopkins not reversed his order of yesterday the city would have been faced with the respon- sibility of paying the 1,600 CWA workers who did the snow removal work on Wednesday and Thursday. The cost to the city would have been about $12,00O, additional.
 Federal Director H p k n s stressed that a special dispensation Is being made in Connecticut's case in that the government considers the situation in this state an emergency.
 The peculiarity of the storm Monday and Tuesday can be viewed IS a disaster due to the paralyZing tffects left in it's wake. The oddity of the storm, q blowy blizzard on Tuesday followed by rain left this state in a disastrous condition and thereby creating an emergency, Director Hopkins explains.
