Drivers Ordered Out, but
Only New York Service
May Be Hit Here.

With approximately 1900 Grey
hound bus drivers on Eastern lines
ordered on strike at midnight tonight
in dispute over wages and the closed
shop issue, officials here today be-
lieved the only service in this section
that would be affected, If the strike
went into effect, would be that between
Washington and New York
The strike was called by the Broth
erhood Of Railroad Trainmen, and
from headquarters in Cleveland the
Associated Press quoted S. R. Harvey,
assistant president Of the Brotherhood,
as ascribing the split to the refusal of
Greyhound officials to meet demands
for wage increases and the closed shop
after six weeks negotiations.
The Pennsylvania Greyhound, op-
Grating between Washington, New
York, Pittsburgh and Chicago. was
one Of eight lines involved in the
strike call, but L. c. Major, regional
manager, said the traffic to the West
would be handled by Blue Ridge, Ieav-
ing only the New York service sus-
pended.
There are 1862 buses in and out of
Washington daily, and while the strike
call is hitting right when Thanks
giving travel is moving, it was said
there were no Interruptions yet.
Union leaders were empowered to
call strike at their discretion by vote

is 3.6l cents mile, with no minimum

laration of war" and an attempt to
place responsibility for market breaks
on Stock Exchange members,
They declared it would mean an
end to exchange relations
as they had existed recently-out-
wardly friendly and highlighted by
only occasional criticisms
Joint Responsibility"
MIR. Douglas, who became head of
che S. E. c. in September, said neither
the Stock Exchange nor the commits
sion should interfere with normal
market fluctuations, but added:
1T may be that we jointly have
some responsibility to insulate the
economic life and business morale of
the Nation against the severity of the
shocks"
Chairman Douglas statement, it
was learned from usually informed
person, resulted from refusal of the
New York Stock Exchange to modify
in accord with commission ideas a re-
organization plan which it recently
negotiated on its own initiative.
The S. E. c. chairman pictured the
exchanges as being at the crossroads
between more regulation by the COM
mission or more self-regulaton by the
exchanges in the public interest. In
effect, he offered them last chance"
to set their own houses in order. al
though he added:
AT the present time I have doubts
as to the desirability, from the stand
point of the public interest, of as
signing to exchanges such vital role
(self-regulation) in the Nations eco
nomic affairs. before they adopt pro-
grams of action designed to justify
their existence solely upon their value
as public market places"
Criticizes Spectators.
Crlticlzing contentious of profess
sional spectators that they tend to
stabilize the market, buying when the
public gets too panicky and selling
when the public gets too optimistic,
Mr.. Douglas said that on days of the
sharp market changes in recent weeks
the professionals led rather than
counteracted the movements.
Conduct of the exchange by COM
mlttees of its own members was
archaic" he declared, and urged en-
ployment of impartial experts to gov
ern and police the market.
He insisted restrictions be placed on
professional spectators operating un-
der the privileges granted floor traders
on the exchange and that the buying
and selling influence of small investors
oe given proportionate effect in the
larger transactions which determine
market prices.
The number of exchange members
also should be reduced, he said, be-
cause If the normal pace of the market
Is lnsufflclent to support all the men,
bers they may be tempted to stimulate
artificial activity.
He asserted the problems of artificial
market activity constitute a chal-
lenge to the exchanges and their
members, as well as to the commits
sion"
Calls for Change.
Such challenges must usually be
met with change" he said. In this
case the changes called for should be
constitutional revision of the ad-
ministrative and functional techniques
Of the exchanges.
Perhaps this is the only way in
which the exchanges may gain the
public confidence necessary for them

something to be desired. What had

an endorsement up to the final
sentence: 'Hang it all, Vance, you
have got to reef your sails. The
whole matter now lies in this; when
a man gets so cocksure that he's

red blood in the business because
he grudges it advancement, then
it's time he knew it for everyone's
