INDUSTRIALS UP; OILS AND MOTORS DOWN Rail Issues Little Changed —Speculators Watch Special Movements.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Wednesday was 169.50. off .37. Average of twenty rails was 136.13. up .01. Average of forty bonds was 96.35. off .06. Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 23.—Movements on the stock market in early dealings today were marked by irregularity, oils and motor shares selling down, while individual industrial issues scored substantial gains. Railroad stocks held about 'steady in light trading. The market was quiet in the first half hour, after Which trading took on a more active character. Wednesday’s irregular price movements were continued in early dealings. In the absence of news developments affecting the general trend, speculative attention converged on special movements in individual stocks. Lasky Cuts Pay Paramount broke to new low ground for the year 99 % off 1% lon President Lasky's order of a 10 per cent reduction in all salaries above SSO a week. Oils continued under pressure. Atlantic Refining sold at 114% off 4% from yesterday's high. Baldwin was a feature on the upside, gaining 1% to 227%, on short covering induced by the fact that the stock was loaning flat. Better at Noon Selling pressure lightened in the late morning and rallying tendencies developed in many sections of the list around noon. This improvement appeared largely due to comfortable conditions in the call loan market. Baldwin led the general list out of the reaction, rising to the highest price of its history at 229%-, up 3% from the previous close. Arthur Cutten is understood to ha\e resumed buying activities in Baldwin. Conferences have been held lately by big holders of the stock with the idea of- preventing a technical corner in the issue.

WHEAT PRICES AVERAGE LOWER AT PIT’S CLOSE Drop More Than 3 Points — Decline Spreads to Corn and Oats. Bu United Prji CHICAGO, June 23—The wheat market was erratic and prices averaged lower on the Chicago Board of Trade today, as a result of weaker Liverpool cables, better weather generally over the belt and the impending new crop movement in the Southwest. Apprehension in regard to prospective hedging pressure also being a factor in limiting the buyingr Heavy pressure developed late in the session and in the absence of outside support forced wheat prices 2 % to 3 s lower. Corn was under heavy pressure right from the start and sold off sharply early, weakness in wheat and reports from the Southwest that the crop is generally much better than predicted checking buying. Local bulls tried to stem the selling tide, but had little success. The late season appears to have been discounted temporarily as a bull factor. The cash demand was slow, with prices lc lower. Prices also declined I s to 1% below the close. Oats were sluggish and lower, closing lc lower. Trade was light and without feature. The cash market .was "i lower. Provisions were dull and a little lower. - Chicago Grain Table —June 23WHEAT— Prev. Open. Rich. Low. Cilo.se. close.

Pons-Winneckc. the fcomet with a hair cut, today was still gallivanting around the erstwhile private domin of the earth in space, and getting closer at the rate of 41.666 miles an hour or a mere 694 miles a minute. The seemingly tailless comet was plainly visible with the glass at Indianapolis last night, according to Russell Sullivan, 1431 N. Meridian, astronomer. “Rons-Winnecke. however, should be visible to the naked eye tonight,” Sullivan, who spotted the celestial visitor in the northeast between the star Vega and the constellation known as the Northern Cross last night. “In a few days the comet will be as big as the moon, but far, far dimmer. It's best seen about 11 p. m.” After coming within a mere 3.000.000 miles of the earth Pons-Win-neckc will veer away, drawn by the sun's magnetic power, and disappear into the void of the universe at a ’,000,000 miles a day clip.

SAYS NEGROES FACE DRUGGIST GAN IN STATE Hoosier Tells Colored *€onvention of Alleged Indiana Discrimination. Charges that a Negro cannot be a druggist in Indiana were heard at today’s session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, meeting at Bethel African Methodist church, Vermont and Toledo Sts. The state law xequires two years of pharmacy apprenticeship before one can become a licensed pharmacist has been made an effective bar keeping Negroes out of the profession, F. M. Anderson, Terre Haute, told delegates. Anderson said his son James T. was a graduate of the Indiana School of Pharmacy here. After many white druggists had refused James a job, a white friend of Anderson at Terre Haute offered to let the boy serve his apprenticeship in his drug store, Anderson related. Tells of Boycott “The anti-Negro element was furious,” Anderson said. “A boycott was instituted against the druggist and four months after James went to work for him, his business had been wrecked and he had to sell out.” The sersion this morning was opened by James Weldon Johnson, noted Negro poet, writer, translator of operas and at one time American consul to Nicaragua and Venezuela. He told how Negroes in seeking equity and justice were no longer appealing solely to the sentiment of the masses, but were resorting to legal action. It was pointed out that Negroes had gained three important court decisions, two from United States Supreme Court and one from the Colorado Supreme Court, since Jan. 1. Delegates weer told how United States Supreme Court had given Texas Negroes the right to vote in their State Democratic primaries, and how residential segregation of Negroes in Louisiana was declared unlawful by ttie same high court. School Fight Won George W. Gross. Denver delegate, related how Colorado Negroes had gained social equality for their childen in public schools.

The decision was gained in a test case made when Dr. Nixon was refused admittance to the polls. Samuel A. Browne, Staten Island, N. Y., postman was also on the speakers’ schedule.
