New York Stocks

NEW YORK, March %. W.P)-
Announcement that the Chicago,
Milwaukee, st. Paul & Pacific rail-
road company planned to reorgan-
ize its capital structure prior 20
July l brought selling into rail is
sues today and weakened the entire
stock market.
Directors of the Western Agri-
cultural road decided to meet April
i interest requirements but to defer
payment of the principal amount
of $900,000 in equipment trust cer-
tificates. When directors decided
on reorganization rather than fur
ther borrowing from the r. F.. c.,
railroad stocks were offered to the
market

The announcement came after
private estimates had been made
that operating losses for the class
l roads in February and January
would amount TO S40,000000. This
offset the favorable effect of in
creased carloadings which m ay
bring last week IS total to the high
est level since November 3.
Atchison dropped to a new 1894

for rs loss and Pennsylvania drop

weakened.
Before the break, the market had
displayed a fairly favorable tone.
. Although U. S. Smelling dropped
/ to a new 1885 low of 10l, on the
.llnfavorable reports of February
and January earnings. The market
was dull as trading dried up over
uncertainties IN the foreign eX-
change market where the Belgian
belga broke more than 100 points
This came after all trading courses
in the nation had been closed until
Monday. This was considered a
definite indication that the new
Belgian government planned to de-
value the currency. The Belgian
situation caused further sag in
Belgian bonds.
Coca Cola had new record high
for the present stock at 1894 for
more than points gain. But after
the break all groups of stocks de-
clined
American Telephone was almost
point lower. Bethlehem Steel
lost an early gain and substituted

ly strength and was " lower at
33la, Du Pont was q lower at 891h,

U. S. Smelling dropped TO l0O%
Then there was a bit of recovery
from the lows and Atehison climbed
back above 36.

Black Widows Proue
To Be Connibals

One reason that there are not
more black widow spiders is that
they are cannibals, declares j. B.
Norton, plant pathologist in the
agricultural commissioner office.
In proof of his assertion, this
morning Norton fed his newest
black widow spider two black wild
ows which she attacked and killed
with the greatest of pleasure, thor
oughly enjoying her meal.
The first one, considerably small
er, fell in the web and before he
could extricate himself, formed a
meal for the hungry inhabitant of
the Mason jar. The next, almost
as big as the inmate, offered fight.

The top of the jar is covered with

The Electric Boat Company sold a submarine to Austria. The sub- marine is an American baby. The head of the Electric Boat Com pany admitted to the Nye Com mittee that all the ''vital parts of the German submarines were taken from his company. The Germans got them from that sub- boat which was sold to Austria. And it was those German sub marines, patterned on the Amer ican models, which sank our ships and brought us into the war.
 Then there is little scrap of more recent unwritten history which ought to be told now. When Hitler came into power in Germany over two years ago, American munition manufactur- CTS saw with delight the rise of another customer. Their agents hurried to do business with the new war lord. By April of 1884 Germany swarmed with the repre- sentatives of American airplane makers. In July Dollfuss was as- sassinated and for days the world looked on with the gravest un- certainty as France and Ialy and Czechoslovakia mobilized their armies.

agement of the industries. It would merely be able to remove from them the men who tried to circumven it's laws.
 There are several points in which both the Nye bill and the McSwain bill agree. The McSwain bill includes price-freezing and fixing. The Nye bill permits the President to fix prices, but looks upon price fixing as a minor in- strument. Both bills permit the President to set up preferences in the purchases of commodities for war purposes and licensing of in dustry where, necessary. Both permit communicating of indus try. The chief difference is in the tax approach, which the Nye bill insists is the one big essential. The McSwain bill does not permit the commodity control or the in- dustrial draft and makes no pro- vision for financing industry dur ing a war. It also attempted to provide for conscription, but Con- gress defeated this.
 2. THE NEXT immediate prob lem is the question of our deal ings with other governments about munitions.
 During war-that is when for eign nations are at war--I trust our munitions makers should be restrained from selling munitions to either side. The American air. plane and submarine and other makers of war materials were busy selling to Bolivia mad Para quay until stopped by the govern ment. As soon as they sold an airplane to one country, they rushed to the other to. sell them anti-craft guns.
 What of sales during peace :? MT Dupont told the Nye Commit tee that sales abroad and ex- changes of patents with foreign munitions makers helped them to learn foreign munition secrets. The answer to that is twofold. Admiral Forbes. told the Commit tee there is no such thing as war and munition secrets. But. far more serious, is this fact. Before the war we sold munitions abroad
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-05-02

There is no draft of labor and no conscription of men for the army in the bill. But the managers of plants must register. If their in- dustries are held essential to the these managers into the armed forces. They will not be mobil- ized. They will be permitted to remain with their plants at their executive jobs. But if they are found interfering with the war work, profiteering, aiding their { operations to dodge just taxes, revealing ''unwillingness" because their profits have been cut, they can be mobilized into the combat forces. Men like those steel mak- CTS who demanded more money in the last war and, when the Fed eral Trade Commission investigat- ed, turned out tp be making as high as 200 and 300 per cent profit, can be mobiliZed into the combat army and removed from jobs where they can do so much harm.
 Finally the government is au- thorized to commander any in- dustry which is refusing to co< oper3te-to carry out what is called "a striks of capital" In the last war the government fixed 22 cents as a fair price for cooper. The copper producers demanded 25 cents. The average cost to the producers was 13.7 cents a pound. Yet they held out for 25 cents. The government threatened to

 made this popular theater the sem sation of Connecticut in regards to the caliber of their attractions. In this entire section there is no other theater that in anyway com pares with the attractions that are

 The first weature of Will Rog- CTS with a great supporting cast in, Life Begins At 40" and this
 king" of male stars whose ad- mirers are of all ages, makes thousands of new freneds, and a great many in the audience were heard to remark that they would
 be back again to see this show. The second feature is tThe Secret Of The Chateau" also boosting of an all star cast, and here is one
 of the ever popular mystery thrill
 lers and it is the tops when this type of entertainment is con- sidered. Saturday morning at Polls there will be the third Miller & Peck
 kiddie show. Two hours of Mickey Mouse capers, Silly Symphony car toons and then for added good measure, there will be the treat of two of the latest Shirley Tenn pie comedies. What a show--and the small admission price of 10 cents for children, 25 cent sfor adults is to be charged-but by applying. at Miller & Peck's store, free tickets may be secured.

 the Board it would have to use force. The government had to back down. Men at the head of companies like these, thus found
 baking the government and hold- ing it up on prices, could be soon whisked out of their jobs and into the armed forces where they could
 do no harm. The government would not interfere with the man.
