(Central Press) THEATRES BOUGHT IN HUGE PROFITS IN 1329 More Than $4,000,000 Made in Few Weeks by Pool Operating in Stock Exchange PRICE TREBLED IN EIGHT WEEKS TIME But Profits Said Not To Have Been Actually Real ized Because Lorge Block of Stock Was Held Off Market; Fletcher Plans To Speed Inquiry Washington. Nov. 21. —(AP)—Sen- ad e stock market investigators re ceived evidence today that bankers who financed the organization of the General Theatres Equipment Corpora tion in 1929 made paper profits of more than $4,000,000 within a few weeks by pool operations in the hold ing company’s stock The evidence showed that while the pools were operating the price o! the 3tock rose from S2O a share which the bankers paid, to more than S6O in two months. Morris Doage, rormer vice-presi dent of the Chase Securities Corpora tion. which participated in the financ ing, said the profits were not actually realized. Ferdinand Peccora committee coun sel, charged a contract made by the bankers to withhold a large block the stock from the market during the pool operations, interfered with the law of supply and demand and made an artificial market. Chairman Fletcher showed impa tience at the slow progress of the in quiry, and called an executive session for this afternoon to consider ways of speeding it up.

MANY PROJECTS TO AFFORD NEW lOBS Between 500 and 600 In State To Be Submitted To Mrs. O’Berry • »«!)* m *,.*«,.* nmrr-m )n t*»c tVfilicr TTiitri »•* J c- ui^KEnvii,t, Raleigh Nov. 21—The State High way and Public Works Commission expects to have between 500 and 600 projects to submit to Mrs. Thomas O’Beiry new civil works administra tor for the State on which civil works labor can be used Chairman E. B. Jeffress sai dtoday. Division and dis trict engineers have already animat ed that there are from five to six projects in each county which can come under the civil works program and that many more can be found later on. Since from 20 to 30 men will be needed on each of these projects, the engineers estimate that it will be possible to provide jobs for at least 10,000 for the next several months, provided this many can be found who will work for the wage scale paid for highway work. For the wage scale on these high way projects will be oiiiy 30 cents an hour for unskilled and 40 cents an hour for skilled labor, it is pointed out. While tlie wage scale on all other public works projects is fixed at 45 cents an hour for unskilled labor and sl.lO an hour for skilled labor, the waeg scale for highway labor is fixed by the various states, and in North Carolina is fixed at 30 cents an hour for unskilled and 40 cents an hour for skilled labor. However, all of tlie labor for these civil w’orks road pro jects will be drawn from the unem ployed in the community or county in which the proects are located, and all of these will be in rural com munities where 30 cents an hour to $2.40 a day is a good wage at any time, especially during the winter months. While no definite rule has yet been announced, it is expected that both the Civil Works 'Administration and Reemployment Service will follow the practice in the past so that when a man is offered a job and he does not take it. his name will be dropped both from the reemployment and ‘relief files. For it is assumed that if a man or womn is offered a job at 30 cents an hour, and he or she does not take it, that he or she is not inneed of the $2.40 a day and hence can get along without any assistance what ever.

REPEt LOST OUT Prices of Better Grades of Bootleg Stuff Increases In Places Dally Dispatch Beitaa, In the Sir Walter Hotel, BY J.

It is still pos sible to get almost any quantity of liquor, varying from a pint to five or ten gallons, delivered to almost any address, in froni 20 minutes to two hours, ordered by telephone. Makers of the better grades corn and rye whiskys are now taking orders for their Thanksgiving and Christ mas trade, while representatives of “outsiders” have been reported as be ing active here as well as in other cities in the State, taking orders for delivery of bottled in bond liquors as soon as they go on sale in neighbor ing states after December 5, when the eighteenth amendment will offi cially cease to be in effect.
