Reynolds isn’t serious, that he (Hancock) is; and that he (Hancock) is opposed to sitdown strikes. At least that’s as complete a synop sis as this correspondent has been able to make of the speech, advance copy of which was mailed by Repre sentative Hancock to this bureau prior to its delivery.

This optimistic tendency has not been well maintained, however. Even at first there seemed to be no particular reason for a favorable stock market response to the repre sentatives’ action on government re organization.
