By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—With assurances from business leaders in every line that 1925 was destined to be a year of memorable prosperity, the New Year opened on the stock exchange with the general list buoyant. Steel shares, concerning whose earnings special optimism is entertained, headed the forward move under the leadership of United States Steel which was active at its best levels since 1917 again above 120. Republic, Bethlehem and other leading independents were in active demand. Irregular movements in the late aorning reflected efforts of profesanals to start a reaction which any Authorities predicted for early in this month. But successful operations on the short side were prevented by the continued demand for & wide variety of stocks. Railroad Shares developed especial strength.

The remaining 75 per cent are the direct result of the late conflict. “Fear was the greatest factor in down nervous systems of In the. Army during the World ■War,” he said. “Country boys had the greatest difficulty in re-adjust-ing themselves to peace time.

BULLETIN Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—The Senate postoffice committee today reported out anew salaries increase bill with proposals for revision of postal rates to provide revenue for increase in salaries. . The revisions differ greatly from those proposed by Postmaster General New in his recommendations to Congress. The new rate scales, however, would be only temporary, becoming effective April 15, 1825, and terminating Feb. 15, 1926. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Postal clerks associations here today charged that the action of the postoffice department is suspending six postal officials for complicity in a money raising scheme to promote the postal salaries increase bill was another step in a “deliberate and studied campaign to defeat the bill.” Thomas J. Flaherty, president of the National Federation of Postal Clerks, declared the postoffice department had documents concerning the alleged scheme in its possession for four or five months prior to starting action. The first broadside, he said, came half an hour after the Senate had agreed to vote the postal bill Jan. 6, in the release of the charges against E. H. McDermott, clerk of the Senate Postoffice Committee and implicated by inference the postal clerks. “Now they come four days before the vote on the veto with another ’blast,’ ” said Flaherty. “It is a deliberate attempt to defeat the bill.” The Senate Postoffice Committee, in executive session, considered the suspension action and worked on the final draft of the new bill It hopes to. present Saturday or Monday. chicaFpastor IS UNDER FIRE Charge is He Associated •With ‘Publicans.’ Bu United Prose CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—Because the Rev.
