PRICES MOVE UP,
BUT GAINS LIGHT
and TRADE SLOW
Progress Checked by
Pre-HoIiday Bar
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 QN.SO.
The stock market moved ahead
today under the impetus Of yes
terday's bette r.than-expected
Chrysler dividend, but progress
was checked by continued pre-
holiday influences.
A few leaders were up a point
or more, while Coca.Cola climbed
more than two, but price changes
generally were limited to fractional
proportions. One or two represent
ative issues were backward.
TRADING SLOW
Trading was maintained at the
previous DAYS slow rate Of well
under a million shares for the five
hours.
Motors, steels, amusements,
building shares, rubbers and mer-
chandising issues all showed mod
crate improvement from previous
closing levels. Coppers were in
clined to irregularity.
Included among the stocks to
show top gains of a point or more
where Bethlehem, Douglas, which
was ex.dividend SO a share, Union
Carbide, Lone Star Cement and
Loew's. Westinghouse and Ameri-
can Smelling each were down
more than a point at one time.
FRACTIONAL GAINS
Chrysler, General Motors, U. s.
Steel, Johns s-Manville, Sears Roe
buck, General Electric. U. S. Rub
Der, Olive Farm and Standard Oil

skilled work paying relatively low
wages. This is especially true OF
domestic servants.
The effects of prolonged semi
idleness, of idling many days each
month and of dawdling all
through work days, are universal
ly described as deplorable. The
morale, the ability, the manllness
of many have been and are being
sapped.
Resentment over uSe-misuse-
o. WPA money for political pur:
poses, to influence or control local
and State elections, has lately be
come recognized as a funda
mental. far-reaching menace.
The centralizing of supreme au
thority in Federate instead OF
local bodies is inciting wider and
wider condemnation.
LOCAL JURISDICTION
From what I have gathered In
my travels, Congress will receive
many requests to alter the exist
ing system, along lines of decen'
tralization. Everywhere, the view
is expressed emphatically that, by
putting the Administration into
the hands of State and municipal
authorities, vast amount OF
waste could be eliminated without
hardship to deserving individuals
or families.
Moreover, such scandals as have
been uncovered by the Senate
Committee on Campaign Expendi-
lures in various States would be
wholly or largely stopped. It has
been clearly shown that WPA Ad-
ministrator Hopkins lieutenantS
have grossly misapplied taxpayers
money to discriminate between
pro-New Deal and anti-New Deal

increase unemployment. So we

Htieve the increased unemployment

officials say that so per cent OF
the unemployed are "on relief,
and that these are usually the
people who have least initiative.
They are handicapped by having
been out of work a long while.
Thus It takes large Improvement
In business to bring any consider
able reduction in the relief burden.
BURDEN MOUNTS
Despite the upturn in business,
the deadly burden of relief" borne
by the people steadily mounts. In
Chicago, the number OF relief
cases in September is reported to
have been 1.3 per cent above the
August figure, and per cent over
q year ago.
We may say that unemployment,
when handled under a political
relief system, feeds upon itself and
never ends.
= The reasons are plainly evident
In our national life today.
/. Unemployment relief" OF
the sort now being most given in
this country tends to destroy the
morale Of the recipients. Local re-
lief officials in Chicago, for ex-
ample, report that the WPA sys-
TEN hurts morale because those
on WPA work come to regard such
work as permanent.
Whenever a man thinks the
world owes him a living, no mat
ter what he does to deserve it, he
is badly demoralized.
2. It builds up a political ma
chine, and leads to corrupt politics.
Those on relief vote for the party
in power as long as it is pledged
to continue their relief. That
party. in making work" and
spending public funds, is influ-
enced by the vote situation in vari-
Gus localities.

Says CurrGn

Government spending has been
a vital factor in the return OF
prosperity, Police Court Judge
Edward M. Curran declared in an
address last night before a large
group of Young Democrats.
Emphasizing he spoke only as a
private citizen, Judge Curran
eulogized President Roosevelt's
efforts to lift the country from
the throeS of depression.
Federal spending was author
ized, said Judge Curran, by those
who have looked to their leader
for the right to work, the right
to eat, the right to shelter, and
the right to have secured to them
decent standard of living and
the basic blessings to which all
free men are entitled"

candidates for public office, both
Federal and State.
In addition to being illegal, such
practices are condemned as NOR
ally reprehensible, as tending to
undermine the free exercise OF the
franchise by unfortunateS depend
ent upon WPA, as imperilling the
very foundations of our conStitu-
tional method of selecting our
Government.
SUBJECT TO BE AIRED
1t is taken for granted that
President Roosevelt and his
pledged 100 percenters" will un-
comprisingly oppose stripping the
New Deal Administration of its
autocratic control of the billions
voted for relief. Denial that this
bottomless, stringlesS purse is po-
litically advantageous to the party
now in power is one thing; but
giving it up its something very
different. Actions speak louder
than words.
Certain it is that this whole vital
question will be aired when Con-
greSS convenes.
One sample of the weird ways
of WPA:
When I was in Detroit, mer-
chants banded together and de-
manded that the city take over a
paving job which had dragged on
for 10 years and had almost ruined
their business; but only 10 days
work had been accomplished, they
declared.
Take these WPA loafers off
the job and let the city do it,"
said the representative of the
suffering merchants. The situ-
alton is very unfair to the mer-
chants. In 10 weeks, 140 men
have only ripped UP the paving
of one block"
WEEK AT MOST
The city commissioner, asked if
he could compete the job quickly,
replied
Yes, we will be glad to step
in anG do the job in week at
the most.
? noticed in Detroit that WPA
loafing is flagrant, yet no more
so than one observes on WPA
projects elsewhere. Relief has be-
come such a burden on taxpayers
that it is wickedyl unfair to them
not to do everything possible to
recaSt the whole vast spending syS-
tenn along sound, buSiness-like,
non-political lines.
