King Cites Other Needs
The Senator pointed out that
there are many pressing needs
which the District must take care
of Immediately, and that, in addi-
ton, expenditures already are so
high that taxes must be increased
to meet the program for 1888. In
view of these facts, Senator King
said, it would not seem proper to

Commissioner Hazen proposes.

is to achieve. protection against
predatory attacks on our exist
ence."
So I was informed today by Lee
FRESHMAN, chief counsel for C. I.
o. and confidante Of Lewis. Press
man has been at Lewis elbow all
through the bitter negotiations of
the last few months. Like Lewis,
PreSSman's signature is attached
to the agreements entered into by
the C. I. o. with General Motors,
United States Steel and Chrysler
Corporation.
Matter Of Existence
He said today:
I'VE want to maintain our ex.
iStence, and to move forward. It
Is true we have fought for sole
collective bargaining. But we
have not insisted to the last
ditch on sole bargaining.
I'VE are primarily concerned
witt maintaining our existence
anG. the getting of assurances
We will not be undermined, and
that we will have the right to
live and grow. Therefore we have
demanded recognition for our
membership which is growing
steadily and rapidly.
Sole collective bargaining is
one Of the formulas we have used
to achieve that protection"
Three Pacts Satisfy
Freshman said the C. I. o. is per.
fectly satisfied with the agree
ments made with G. NJ, Steel and
ChrySler.
In the case Of General Motors
the e. I. o. won recognition and
obtained assurance that before
G. M. would deal with any other
labor organization it would put the
matter before Gov. Frank Murphy
of Michigan.
In the case Of Chrysler Corpora
ton, Chrysler agreed to bargain
with the United Automobile Work
ers Union, a C. I. o. affiliate, but
not necessarily exclusively. How.
ever, ChrySler promised he would
do nothing to undermine c. I. o.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Commodity
prices slumped to the lowest level since
July, 1896, this week, with heavy
liquidation of grains and metals
pounding quotations steadily down.
Industrial as we'll as farm staples
gave ground in the general unsettle-
ment. Live stock alcne among the
major groups carved out a small gain
over last week.
The Associated Press weighted in
eek of 35 important commodities
dropped to 1851 per cent of the 1926
average from 8089 a week ago and
compared with 83.06 last year.
The current level was 19 per cent
under the peak for the year registered
last April, when the index hit 1914.
Every classification, save live stock,
fell to a new low for the year or longer.
Heavily stocked industry continued
to shun staple markets. With business
receding, inventories appeared ample.
With copper setting the pace, down 3.

prices crumbled. Steel scrap was
slashed more than a dollar a ton to
below $14. Lead, tin and antimony
also were weak.

held of the market and crude plunged
to the lowest point since early 1896.
Linseed oil dipped fractionally, but

Wool and silk fell back, causing the

consecutive new low for the year. The
current level is the lowest since 1884
