Stocks Dive. But
Real Bust Yet To
Come. Expert Says

New York (FP)-While the Stock
market spun into its sharpest nose
dive in Is years Sept 13, Wall Street
experts told Federated Press that the
market break was only prevue of a
bust that will make the 1929 crash
look like peanuts.
Spectators dropped an estimated
So billion during the day which saw
100000 shares change hands and
the ticker tape fall behind sereval
times. Dupont led the slump with a
17-point drop, with Allied Chemical
and the big liquor outfits, Schenley
and Hiram Walker, not far behind as
they lost 10 and 1917 points respec-
lively. Big steel was hard hit too, as
Bethlehem fell of 6as and U. S. Steel
lost 5.
The net decline was the widest
since Sept. "a, 1881, according to the
New York Times index while the
Wall Street Journal described it as
the most sweeping recession since
Oct. Is, 1887.
The break had been in the cards for
months, FPS informants said, point
ing out that the market really started
on the downgrade with publication of
a Federal Reserve Board report in
July that 10 per cent of U. S. families
held 60 per cent of the savings and
80 per cent had no savings at all.
This sobered up many of the specu-
lators who had been swept away by
the boom talk that portrayed endless
prosperity and, unlimited customers
for the U. S. Prices have gone so high
that majority of the population is
no longer able to buy and the busi-
nessmen who forced initiation through
Congress shave really defeated them
Selves" FP was told.
Immediate factors influencing the
drop were uncertainty about the in
ternational situation with consequent
fear that foreign trade would be
stymied, the boom in consumer goods
prices, and piling up of inventories,
already at a record $18 billion, lead
ing to fear of unemployment.
The Wall Street Journal and other
newspapers played down the break in
an apparent attempt to stem any new
tides of selling. A cautiously worded
editorial in the Journal ascribed the
selling to the fact that stock prices
had been abnormally high, saw the
law of supply and demand at work
and interpreted it as mot in itself a
discouraging economic symptom"
Agreeing that stock prices had
been based on wild optimism, one of
FPS informants said that while the
break did not come little sooner
than generally expected, the real bust
would come within Is months. ''it will
be marked by terrific unemployment"
he said grimly.

formation of a continental bloc.
"a section of the Federated Press
story which was not published for
lack Of space revealed that Messer-
smith had declared the u. s. has held
diplomatic conservations with an un-
named power protesting trade rela-
tions prejudcial to the u. S. The sub
sequent publication of the State
Dept's note to Sweden and the Soviet
Union on this point further confirms
the accuracy of the FTP story.
"Since the State Dept. has seen fit
to deny activities of its personnel that
obviously tend to heighten war ten
sion and endanger international
peace, the Federated Press suggests
that the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee take up the matter in
hopes than an investigation will
clarity State Dept. policy"
The portion of the story referred TO
above said Messersmith claimed he
had vigorously upbraided" the am
bassador of another nation for sell
ing munitions to a country sin the
Russian sphere" He said he had told
the ambassador this meant providing
arms to the Russians to be- used
against the western democracies,"
and that he had demanded such arms
sales to Russia or to nations in Rus
sia's sphere be stopped
A State Dept. spokesman Aug. 27
declined To comment ON the speech be-
cause it was delivered off the
record. Undersecretary Dean Acheson
took the same view at his press con
ference Aug. 80, first terming reports
of the nature of the address vague"

were not in order on off the record

"For its own survival, organized

Both Richardson and DR.. Max Yer

emphasized the danger of ignoring
Bilbo as freak or joke. "The mis-
take of ignoring Hitler while he was

Comment On World Events

The Labor Advisory Committee of
the International Rescue and Relief
Committee appeals to all American
trade unionists to support their fellow
workers in Europe. Thousands of

has been in close contact with the
trade union movement in Europe.

ers are the people who can build de-

Carriers Assn.
Meet Conditions,
But Won't Sign

Detroit (FP)-The short snappy 2
week strike of the National Maritime
Union on the Great Lakes was all but
over Sept / when the powerfur anti
union Lake Carriers Assn. matched
the terms won by the union from
shipping companies under contract
both as to working hours and over
time rates.
Hours were reduced from 56 a
week to AS while at sea, to "A a week
in port and to 40 hours for the layup
and outfitting season. All time put in
beyond those limits will be paid at
overtime rates, which vary on diff
ferent ships in accordance with pre-
vious union scales, and averaging a
dime an hour increace.
"When the Lakes Carriers Assn.
found it expedent to bring their con-
ditions up to the new union levels"
says NMU Port Agent Charles Mon
roe, "they really paved the way for
tremendous organizing drive. The
nonunion seamen know who got them
their reduced hours and increased
overtime pay. They know where to go
to get more of the same"
About 5000 of the $4,000 seamen on
the lakes are employed by the Lake
Carriers Assn, Monroe estimates. If
they all join the union it will more
than quadruple the NMU membership
on the lake boats.
Settlements are expected immedi-
ately on the 18 union ships that are
still tied up out of the 135 that or
iginally went on strike. Virtual end
of the strike brought to a close a
chapter enlivened by gun-shooting
scab captains, by scab-herding police
in Toledo Quickly correctedD, by
picket affrays and resort to the
courts. One captain and his young
friend, who toted fire irons and dis
charged them at pickets in Detroit, is
still under $500 bond. He is Capt. A.
C. Mclean of the Buckeye Steamship
Co.'s Simon j. Murphey. There are 8
witness to his acts of violence.
