NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW. YORK. Dec. 16. CUP)-Ir-
regularity prevailed on the stock
market today in professional trad
Ing despite continuance of excellent
business reports.
Several individual stocks were
outstanding but no leadership was
established until late in the trading
when utilities were pushed forward
to fractional gains. Trading volume
dropped to around the 100000
mark.
Rubber futures continued in de-
mand reaching new seasonal highs
in early sharp advances. The dol
lar eased with the French franc re-
covering strength while bonds were
irregularly lower.
The late firmness in utility shares
coincided with the bullish reports
from the industry. The Edison Elec-
tric Institute reported production at
new 2,27S, ,303,OOO kilowatt hours,
a gain of 14.4 per cent over the 1885
week Electric Power & Light was
the leader in a gain of more than
point to around 24h.
The magazine Iron Age reported
cent of capacity-which established
new high since 1880. Not much
greater capacity is possible, how
ever, as result of scarcity of raw
materials: Steel shares, however
were fairly steady. U. s. Steel held
Bethlehem Steel. selling ex-dividend
$3.50 also showed little change.
Consolidated Oil was the most
active issue. appearing in blocks
which ranged TO 10000 shares. 1t
equalled it's years high of 15A for
a fractional gain while other oil
shares generally were firm. Record
oil production was reported for the
week by the American Petroleum
Institute.
Another active issue was Yellow
Truck which climbed more than
point to above 81 on reports. I'm
filled orders will carry production
around current levels well into
1887. Motor shares. were mixed,
however, Chrysler gaining fraction
ally while General Motors eased. A
further advance in the price of
domestic copper did not greatly
stimulate metal shares although
Anaconda came back from more
than a point loss to a fractional
gain. Rails were steady to firm in
quiet turnover.
Dow-Jones preliminary closing av-
erages showed: industrial 1873 off
0.34; railroad 64.96 off 0.04; utility
1928 off Dol. -
Transactions approximated 1885,
900 shares compared with 2,4S0,000

FLAX MARKET
CASH FLAX
CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO, Dec. 16. (UP)-Steady
absorption of profit-taking sales
steadied the Chicago wheat market
today after an early decline of more
than a cent Il bushel. Bullish en-
thusiasm was again light due to
weakness In foreign markets and
the belief that Argentina would put
out a disapp pointing estimate on its
crop late today.
At the close wheat was up b to
". December $1.34A, new corn was
unchanged TO M cent higher, Dec
ember $1.07%, old corn was off rs
to up IS, May $1.02h. and oats was
off q to up 3s, December 511s cents.
Selling pressure was fairly heavy
at the opening in response to net
decline of 1857 at Liverpool and a
heavy tone at Winnipeg. Prices
dropped sharply during the first
hour but turned upward later as
mills removed hedges against bet
ter sales of flour. Buying by the
public was apparent, many specula-
tors believing the heavy. cash buy
ing of southern hemisphere wheat
by European countries will pick up
again shortly.
Milling demand for cash wheat in
the local market was again of rather
sizeable proportions.
Corn fluctuated quietly in the
wake of wheat. Prices were lower
in first half of the session. partly
because of liberal offerings of corn
to arrive.

| mems 300 New England members have voted approval of Q strike as protest against one-man crews for Diesel powered locomotives, 1t was announced today.
 Unless settlement is negotiated, the brotherhood's national officers probably will meet within 0 week to fix date for the walkout, which would affect the New Haven, Boston & Maine and Maine Central rail- roads and the Portland Terminal company, an affiliate of the Maine Central.
 The vote was tabulated by rail- roads and in no case was the strike sentiment less than 90 percent, acc cording to International Vice-Presi- dent Samuel A. Boone of Cleveland, Ohio.
 Demands of Union
 The union demands that two men be placed on all Diesel-powered en. zines, including streamline trains.
 Boone anticipated formal confir- nation of the strike by Internation- al President D. B. Robertson, who Is in Washington, and by local chair men within 72 hours.
 The next step was believed up to Patrick A. Donahuc, representative of the U. s. mediation board, who is expected to confer immediately with railroad and union officials in an effort to avert Q strike.
 Actually exploitation to union de-. mands would mean employment of only 18 more men, but union ofn- cials pointed out others VIII DO needed as new equipment is placed In service. .. Though c strike might seriously affect New England railroads, 1t probably would not result in corn- plete suspension of service because the brotherhood represents but a part of engineers and firenlen errl- ployed.

CENTRAL LABOR
 UNION WILL ACT

(Continued from Page 1.) ceived from even one of the women, a complete investigation of the sew ing room will be asked. If the New Haven office does not grant the in- vestigation, the spokesman said, the case will be taken directly to Wash- ington. It will be asked that an im- partial committee make the inves- tigation.
 Angry At Harris
 Employees who have made the complaints about working conditions do not hesitate to show their re- sentiment toward William M. Harris former director of the Mutual Aid Unemployment fund, who, ordinar- fly severe critic of the administra- ton of the WPA in this state, was quoted as saying that he objected to false reports about conditions in the sewing room.
 It is expected that local organ ized labor will receive formal con- plaints within the next day or two and that the demand for the inves- tigation will be made shortly there- after, as soon as the grounds for the women's complaints are seen to ex- ist.

1 to believe that Lewis could not force action again.
 Lewis, meeting in secret confer- ence with the lieutenants of his union which numbers more IlieEn- bers than any other labor body in the country, withheld announce ment of his decision for the time being.
 Factors to Shape Plans
 Several factors stood out as likely to shape his plans:
 The courts decision definitely eliminated possibility of re.enact- H1ent of any labor controls in the industry covering wages, hours and collective bargaining. The decision left the way open to fe-enactment of price-fixlng provisions. Four members of the court definitely ap- proved this type of regulation In in. terstate commerce and five Ii1ein- bers were unrecorded for or against such on enactment if uncoupled with any labor statute. The bitu- uIHlOub uLllUl COHtEhCV Whb HUI Hk~ fected by the duffey decision and does not expire until next spring. Thus, two incentives toward . Lewis demand for legislation are lacking. He could not obtain direct iegisla- tive labor benefits and the labor con- tract covering tho industry is not immediately jeopardized. However, this does not foreclose his interest in substitute legislation.
 Must Stabilize Industry
 Lewis has indicated plainly his belief that no matter how great the power of his union, 1t can not main- tain wage and hour standards In the coal industry unless the indus try itself is stabilized and on c profitable basis. Green said tho A. r. Of [. executive council discussed the possibility of placing 0 constitu- tional amendment before the elec- torate, but encountered difilculty In drafting the language.

Archbishop Dia2 was 50, Q sor of Indians of Jalisco State. He wal brilliant as o boy in local schools and, his talents recognized, he ad- vanced rapidly in ecclesiastical Stu- dies. He was graduated from the F'raiciscan College and, at 23, ore dained in his native village of ze- popan where he celebrated his first mass. He became auxiliary vicar there, then went to Quadalajara university as professor of Latin and philosophy and next to Chihuahua as translator to the archbishopric.
 Sent to Europe
 His talents caused church auth critics to send him to Europe, first to tho celebrated monastery in Bur- gos, Spain, and subsequently, to the Pic Latino college, Rome, and the Company of Jesus in France and Belgium. Tn 1926, when c crisis oc- cured in church-state relations, Archbishop Diaz was bishop of Ta- basco. He became primate in 1929, after on agreement by which closed churches were reopened.
 Controversy broke out anew, and Archbishop Lcopoldo Ruiz Y Flores the papal delegate, was exiled to the United States. Archbishop Diaz more conciliatory, remained for the time.

 Hoffman Victorious
 Hoffman was victorious in his fight against former Congressman Franklin w. Fort, who had can- paigned solely on the charge that Hoffman, by delaying the execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, had dragged Jersey justice in the mud" Fort was one of fives candidates for the four posts of delegates-at-larg and partial returns indicated that he wouldn't even go to Cleveland. He was approximately 26,000 votes behind the fourth man. Hoffman led all the candidates, being 5000 votes ahead of former United States Senator Walter F. Edge.
 Roosevelt Far Ahead
 In the democratic primary, Pres- ident Roosevelt was assured of all the states votes at the national convention because all candidates were pledged to him. Ills name was not entered in the democratic pref erence primary, where Col. Henry Breckinridge, anti-New Deal lawyer, was the only candidate. Breckin- ridge was receiving Q light vote on the basis of partial returns. In Q number of precincts, 6 write-in vote for the president exceeded Breck- inridge's total by as much as eight to one.
 Many Hoffman supporters pro- fessed to believe his victory would win serious consideration for him as a vice presidential candidate. He was often mentioned as c candidate before he became embroiled in the Hauptmann case, but even his friends had wondered recently whether his popularity had not suf- fcred irreparable damage. His ma jority of more than two to one over Fort with 6 third of the states vote counted seemed to indicate that 1t had not.
 Borah Against Machine
 Borah spoke in Newark last Thursday and had campaigned pre- viously in New York state, but Lan- don had the state organization backing and Borah's policies never have been calculated to appeal greatly to such an industrial state as New Jersey. The blow to the Ida hoan's chances for nomination was considerable and full of potentiali- ties. He intimated in Q Washington statement last week that unless Q candidate of whom he approves is nominated he will bolt the republi- can party.
 Enemies of Governor Hoffman charged that bullet" voting, 8 local political device made possible by the fact that democrat may vote in republican primary, and vice versa, was responsible for Forts de- feat. Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, state democratic boss, threw

GIANT AIRSHIP

Careful at Landing

Careful at Landing
 Captain Ernst Lehman, in conn mand, unanswered carefudlly. Leh- mann wirelessed as he approached the field that he would make Q trial approach to the movable Enooring mast, where 90 navy seamen and no civilian volunteers waited to handle the landing ropes, and would ascend again if the wind proved dangerously strong.
 It was sighted first from the west, and came in toward the field down wind slowly, at 1000 feet altitude. As the small crowd awaiting the new commercial air liner ran on to the field, the ship passed over the main hangar and veered t. the south.
 Even as 1t did 50, the wind dropped -nature's first favor since 1t started | from Frankfort at 1l:40 p. rn., EST Saturday, with it's q passengers, It's mail, freight and baggage.
 Two Days of Fight
 For more than two days of itA 78 hour flight, the ship had fought head winds that got as high as 42 knots and reduced It's speed ct times to 20 knots. It had come in far south of It's usual course over the steam. ship route and 1t headed into Lake- hurst duo westward, missing New York City miles to the north.
 Its last hours were It's hardest, aS its speed went down to 20 knots. Its blunt nose pointing downward, the ship was levelled off above ground at SOS EST, ready to be locked to It's movable mast and re- fuelled for start to Frankfort to- night.
 The first line was thrown from the ship ct 6:68 0. m. 1T and five minutes later she struc: ground. In the next minute t,a rear wheel landed. As 0 rope wa extended from the mooring mast, catching the air- ships nose, Q few cheers arose from the small crowd.
 At 7:l4 0. m. the Hindenburg was moored and water ballast was jumped from the lower vents.
 Passengers Waited
 Twelve minutes later, after the ground crew had struggled with the craft which was whipped about gently by the strong ground wind, the stairway from the ship was re- leased and baggage was removed. Passengers did not leave the ship until IS minutes later.
 In Q radio message just before the Hindenburg landed Captain Len. mann said that headwinds, which cut down the speed, could not be avoided because the ocean weather service had not been organized for trans-Atlantic trafflc.
 "The scarcity of ship and other reports made 1t impossible to recog- nise the position of tho depression center and development of squall lines sufficiently in advance to dodge the headwinds," he said. Adequate improvement of trans - Atlantic weather service is under considera- tion."
 Bad Weather Reports
 Lieut.. Howard T. Orville, Q. 6. navy aeroiogist who made the round trip on the Hindenburg as e observer, shared Captain Lehmann's views on inadequate weather re- ports.
 we should for trans -Atlantic ser- vice have more ship weather reports and there should be more interna- tional cooperation" Lieutenant Or- vile said. "Of course, I'm not conl- plaining. The journey was very

 It was the urging of these friends coupled with hundreds of letters from all over the state, asking him to state his position, that caused him to agree to accept the nomina- ton if offered to him.
 "As near as I can find out" he said, 'it isn't the politicians who want me-it's the rank and file."
