A great ovation was accorded
Elmer Brown, chairman of the Con-
gress and of the Amalgamation
Party of the International Typo
graphical Union as he opened the
Congress yesterday. An ominous
hush fell over the audience as the
first words doomed out from the
loud speakers: THE broad repre-
sentation in this Congress is an in
dication of the growing need and
the ever-increasing determination
OF the American people to establish
Immediately genuine Federal I'm
employment and Social Insurance
system"
Brown continued: Every dele
gate must be aware of the grave
responsibility with which he is
charged at this Congress. The Ma
tional Sponsoring Committee has
endeavored to make this Congress
as broad as possible. We want each
and every delegate here to feel and
know that 1t is a Congress of the
millions of workers all over the
country who need and want a gem
uine unemployment and social in
surance system. 1t is our duty to
the organizations which sent us
here to make this the greatest and
most effective united front of the
American workers, who want and
need unemployment insurance and
social security, ever held in this
country"
Brown outlined briefly the char
acter of the Congress and outlined
the tasks which face the Congress
to formulate the system of unem-
ployment insurance.
He concluded, Our task after
having formulated the kind Of So
cial insurance We want and need,
will be to use every bit of our
energy, our talent and our position
to mobilize all the workers in Amer
lea to insist that the bill be i'm
mediately enacted into Federal
Law

Laval Confers
WithMussolini
To Make Pact

ROME, Jan. 8.-Following a long
conversation between the French
Foreign Minister Laval and Musso-
lini, it was announced today that
the two countries will sponsor a
consultative pact" which will be
open to other nations. The confer
ence is still proceeding, but the real
issues discussed, of course, are not
commented on for publication.
All Europe recognizes the signifi-
canoe of this meeting, which will de-
termine Italy's future relations to
Germany, and will have great
effect on Mussolini's C tt ons in
Ethiopia, Austria, and Jugoslavia.
The purpose of the consultative
pact between Italy and France is to
provide for the independence of
Austria. Copies of the pact have
been dispatched to London and Ber-
lin.
Laval was closeted with Mussolini
for more than three hours today.
While an after dinner reception was
going on in the Venice Palace last
night, Mussolini, Laval, Fulvio SUI
vich, Italian under secretary for
foreign affairs, and Ambassador
Hassel of Germany, held confer
ence. The subject of their discussion
was not revealed.

SWINE VALUES

Cattle, Lambs Unchanged;
VeaIer Prices Move
Sharply Lower.

A general increase of 10 cents in
the pork market today at the Indi-
annapolis Stockyards again carried
the top price above the $40 level
which was established late last
week for the first time since &C.
tober. The top today held at $10.O5.
An extremely sharp decrease in
the number of receipts was believed
largely responsible for the moder-
ate upturn in prices. Receipts were
estimated at only 1000, compared
with 5000, respectively, in the last
two sessions. Holdovers numbered
1874.
Trading, however, developed slow
after the opening, but turned fairly
active as the session progressed. A
fairly strong demand prevailed for
practically all classes. The bulk of
160 to 300 pounds, cashed in at $3.50
to $40. Heavies, ranging from 300
pounds and upward, brought $3.50 to
$3.50. Lightweights, scaling 100 to
100 pounds, sold at $685. to $685..
Packing sows held at $3.50 to $3.50.
Initial trading in the cattle mar
ket was limited and mostly I'M
changed, especially on steers and
heifers. Cows and bulls, however,
were strong to slightly higher. Most
steers we're eligible to sell at $40
while few held around
$11. Heifers brought $935, with
most sales at So, or below. Bulls
held at $4.25 to IS. Receipts were
1900.
Vealers lost the advance of the
previous session, moving sharply so
cents lower. The bulk of good and
choice kinds sold at Sill to $11.50.
Receipts were 600.
With trading not fully developed
in the lamb market, native grades
were mostly steady at yesterdays
opening. Bulk of good and choice
eve and wether kinds sold at $1,000
to $1125. Fed western and year.
ling classes were absent. Slaugh-
ter sheep sold at 1928 to $5.25. Re-

Vast insult Empire
Finds It's Way
to Bankers.
by JOHN T. FLYNN

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The huge
4 Y hulk of insults great holding
company, the Middle West Utili-
ties, finally has been reorganized.
After three and a half years of
receivership this floundering en-
terprise is started on new career.
The United States Court has
permitted the turning over of all
its assets to new company called
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-12-04

and it's outstanding creditors.
WHEN the great corporation
w collapsed there were four
groups of investors who had an
interest in this company the
common stockholders, the pre-
ferred stockholders, the note hold
ers and the bankers who had made
loans to the company. The con-
tributicns of the four groups to
the corporation were as follows:
Common stockholders ...... $l58 500, 600
Preferred stockholders ........ 81, 1871 0
Note holders ..'..'..''''''''' a3'uonWW o onn
BANKERS Nf,VOO,VVu
NTOW the new company is
IN formed but as you look at
the distribution of what was left
among these various interests you
will be surprised at how, under the
new set-up, the order of Importance
is completely reversed. Stockhold-
ers, noteholders, bankers all turn
in their claims and receive instead
stock in the new company Here
is what they Will get:
Common stockholders ... 15S,829 shares
Preferred stockholders ... 15l,92S shares
Noteh0lders ........,.....1,2 100000 shares
Bankers ..................1,1 10000 shares
THUS the old laws of finance
i work ruthlessly. When the
wreck is hauled ashore and all the
stockholders are drowned, the SAL
vaged property finds it's way into
the hands of the bankers.
Each common stakeholder now
gets one share in the new company
for each 100 he held in the old.
That is to say, he gets one share
valued at So for each $1,000 worth
he held in the old company, but he
is given a priceless privilege along
with all this-the right to subscribe
to more. Thus he is asked to put
more money into this company.
The intelligent investor will ask
himself whether or not the Middle
West Corp. is the best place in
which to invest So, if he has that
much.
