Stock Market Uneven
AS Labor Troubles
Inspire Selling
By Victor Eubonk
Assoeio.ed Press FinoneioI Writer


NEW YORK, May 10.-Scattered
stock market leaders edged upward
today although the cloudy labor
picture inspired selling in most de-
partments.
Prices slipped after it was an
nounced the Government will take
over the railroads in the wake OF
stalemated strike negotiations. The
call for new contract conferences
in the anthracite field accentuated
speculative and investment caution
There was a certain amount of
buying on the idea that inf1ationary
tendencies will bolster business for
some time to come. Offerings again
were attributed partly to the feeling
technical correction of the lengthy
rally may be overdue.
Dealings quickened at intervals
with low-quoted issues accounting
for much of the volume. Common
wealth & Southern came out on
one 80,000-share block, unchanged
at 3. Declines of fractions to a
point or so predominated near the
fourth hour.
Sinclair OIL, Socony and Western
Union touched highs for 1948. Re-
sistant were Texas Co., Mission
Corp, International Harvester
Deere, International Paper, Electric
Power g. Light, Johns -Manville and
Central Railroad of New Jersey.
