Stock Prices Reflect
Mounting Hope for
Trade Recovery
Rise in Stocks, Bonds

By Business News

Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, May o. Wall
Streets quotation machines. shift
ing out of low gear, licked off a
story last week of reviving hope for
business improvement.
An upturn in stocks, bonds and
commodities was supported by fur
Their tangible indications of at least
a temporary turn away from the
declining spring trend in business.
Steel makers jumped operations
to 485 per cent Of capacity from
45.4 the previous week as a freer
fuel supply was assured by the re-
cent resumption of soft coal min
ing. 1t was the highest steel rate
in a month.
The incearsed coal movement
lifted railroad loadings for the week
ended May 20, included in the latest
weeks statistics, to the highest
point since December. Trade sources
described retail business as fair"
The news from Detroit, however,
struck an off note. Automobile out
put, up the previous week contrary
to seasonal expectations, contracted
abruptly when strike in the Briggs
Manufacturing Co. plants shut off
a leading supply source for manu-
facturerS. 1t was estimated cars
and trucks coming off the assembly
lines fell to 67740, lowest this year,
from 80,145 the preceding week.
Auto Rate Erratic.
The rise and fall of automobile
activity, together with allowances
Tor seasonal adjustments, caused
cratic fluctuations in the motor
section of the business induces. The
boost in steel and rail loadings,
nevertheless, was sufficient to make
up for the loss. The Associated
Press weekly index of industrial ac-
tlvlty, rising for the second consecu-
tive week, advanced to 1873 from
829 the week before.
Some Wall Street observers
thought they detected a Slight re-
turning flush of imitation senti-
ment' in the market place as result
OF President Roosevelt's speech be-
lore the American Retail Fedora
ton. The address was interpreted
widely as indicating the admins
tration intended to press ahead
along the road of heavy Federal
spending for public improvements
and loans to public and private en-
terprise.

men, including Chairman Winthrop

chose June for trip to the West

Perhaps it's because their Britannia
majesties desire to spring a little
reprisal on Fire that they've decided
to omit planned visit to the Irish

making the scheduled call at the
shamrock shaped little building, the
King and Queen will merely have
look at the historical and cultural
Irish exhibit in the Hall of Nations
Building.

attend tomorrow nights White

finally decided. This observer is in

down, too, practically on the first
anniversary of the huge display of
Americanism" staged by Hague and
175000 of his Jersey City subjects
in honor of the municipal ordinance
by which the C. I. o. and others were
barred from holding public meetings.
1t is noteworthy that two of the five
Supreme Court justices who Joined
in invalidating Hagues ukase-
Hughes and Roberts-are not regu-
larly classed with the liberal group
of the bench, as are Stone, Black and
Reed, who also voted with the ma
jority that handed down the 5-to-2
decision
Many have forgotten that as
long ago as April, 1881. Charles
Evans Hughes, in one of his earliest
decisions after becoming Chief
Justice, rendered an opinion involv-
ing the same issues as lay at the
root of the Hague case 1t was the
celebrated California red flag" Incl
dent, which was concerned with a
19-year-old Communist girl She
was convicted under a State law
of ordering a childrens camp to
raise daily a flag which reproduced
the flaming colors of Soviet Russia
The Supreme Court, in a decision
submitted by Hughes. decreed that
the California statute was uncon-
stitutional under the l4th amend
ment, because it abridged the right
of free speech. The Chief Justices
opinion said:
The maintenance of the oppor-
tunity for free political discus
sion, to the end that government
may be responsive to the will of
the people and that changes may
be obtained by lawful means-an
opportunity essential to the Sc
