NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The stock
market stumbled today after five
successive sessions in which prices,
on average, had been up or un-
changed.
Losses ranged from fractions to
or more points at the worst. A
little support came in during the
final hour and quotations at the
close were above the lows in most
cases.
The list gave ground at the start
in fairly active dealings. The re-
mainder Of the proceedings were
exceptionally slow. Transfers were
around 100000 shares, or nearly
100000 under yesterday.
SteelS were among the first to back
away, apparently rejecting revived
peSsimism over the Bethlehem strike
and the threat of labor riffs in
other sections. Fears were expressed
that, if dangers TO the defense pro-
gram became pronounced, the Gov
ernment might step in and take
charge of plants halted by walk
outs. This, from the standpoint Of
Wall Street, would be bad news.
Speculative and investment circles
derived scant inspiration from war
bulletins and many potential buyers
were said TO have cashed in on the
recent runup to await more definite
developments abroad.
On the other hand, most business
items were helpful TO sentiment and
heavy armament spending still was
seen as a bolstering influence for
numerous industries.
The market stiffened a bit when
the Senate Finance Committee ap-
proved the excess profits tax
amendments passed by the House
Tuesday.
Heartening also was the sale Of a
stock exchange seat for $28, ZOO, up
$4,000 from a transfer Wednesday
which equaled the bottom for men,
berships since 1898.
On the downside most of the day
were United States Steel, Bethlehem,
General Motors, Chrysler, United
States Rubber, Sears Roebuck,
American Telephone, Santa Fe,
Great Northern. Bath Iron Works,
New York Shipbuilding, Douglas
Aircraft, Glenn Martin, American
Smelling, American Can and Philip
Morris.
Contesting the reaction were Loft,
Standard Oil of New Jersey, Cerro
de Pasco, Du Pont and j. c. Penney.

Old Colony Included
In Reorganization
OF New Haven
Permission to Quit
Boston Properties
Is Refused
BY the Associated Press.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion amended late yesterday its plan
of reorganization for the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad to
include the Old Colony Railroad in
the reorganized New Haven system.
In another order, the commission
refused the Old Colony permission
to abandon its so-called Boston
group of properties.
In directing the reorganized New
Haven to acquire the properties,
assets and franchises of the Old
Colony the commission made the
following provision for payment:
The reorganized company to de-
liver to the trustees of the Old
Colony s2,467,20O of its first and
refunding bonds, series A; $3,289 500
of its income bonds. series A; SIS, ,345,-
600 of its preferred stock, series A,
and $5,345, 600 of its common stock.
Expenses to Be Assumed.
In addition, the commission said,
the reorganized New Haven Co.
should assume the reorganization
expenses of the Old Colony, current
liabilities and taxes.
All claims of the New Haven
claims of the Old Colony against
the New Haven should be released,
discharged and Cancelled" the COM
mission said.
In its original plan of reorganiza-
ton for the New Haven, the COM
mission made no provision for in
clusion of the Old Colony. Massa-
chusettS interests vigorously pro-
tested, and the commission reheard
the case.
In refusing the Old Colony au-
thority to abandon it's So-called Bos-
ton group of lines in Norfolk, SUI
folk and Plymouth Counties, Mass.
| the commission said there was mo
| justification for abandoning lines of
railroad which can be prof1tably op-
Grated in freight service"
The commission remarked that if
the Boston group were confined to
freight operations with all passenger
service discontinued, revenues would
exceed expenses.
THE real question in connection
with the Boston group is not wheth-
er its lines of railroad should be
abandoned, but whether = the pas
senger service over those lines
should be discontinued because of
the heavy out-of pocket loss which
has been suffered from such service
in recent years and which was still
being suffered when the hearings
in this proceeding closed" the COM
mission said.
That issue is not presented in
this proceeding and is one over
which this commission has no juris-
diction under the Interstate Com
merce Act"
Two-Year Trial Ordered.
The commission ordered a two
year trial of operations on the Old
| Colony's Boston lines.
If this trial proves unsuccessful.

trafic regulations permitting auto
mobiles to pass on either side of

the Georgia Avenue Businessmen's
Association at a meeting last night
In the Washington Realty Co. Build
ing, $500 Georgia avenue NV.
A letter from Washington L Cleve-
land, manager of the District of

which he agreed with the business
mems association that cars should
be able to use either side of loading

platform was ahead. Oscar Felker,
president of the association, said the
safest method for any arrangement
carrying out the resolution would be
acceptable.
Five dollars was donated to the
