Confused Nature of Market
Session Reflects Bewil
derment of Traders As to
Effect of War Abroad
Cblcaco doted up IVi to SH cents) SHEEP: Rectlnu 400; mrkt
NEW YORK, Sept. IK. P) The
tock market followed an erratic
course today with some favored
bares pushed 1 to 3 points higher
at their beet and others slipping
with little support by about the
same margin.
At the finish the list was very
mixed. Trading was active and trans
fers approximated 4,000,000 shares.
Ralls, utilities, rubbers, merchan
dising shares and specialties enjoyed
demand most of the day but were
inclined to drop away from their
tops In the final hour.
Steels were subjected to penalizing
from the opening on and, while they
managed some Improvement, were
not given sufficient support for a
lift. At times motors and alrcrafts
were bid up a little.
The confused nature of the ses
sion reflected, brokers said, the be
wilderment of traders who, antici
pating some sort of business punch
as a result of the conflict abroad,
were- chary about predicting Its ex
tent or the Industries that might
be benefited.
Up most of the day were Mont
gomery Ward, Sears-Roebuck, Inter
national Harvester, Loft, New York
Central, Consolidated Edison, Amer
ican Radiator, U. fi. Rubber, Good
year, Eastman Kodak and Johns
fefanvtlle. Down were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem,
General Motors, Chrysler, Anaconda,
International Nickel, Du Pont. South
Porto Rico Sugar and Texas Crp.
Commodities were mixed. In late
dealings cotton was 25 cents a bale
lower to 5 cents higher. Wheat at
a bushel and corn added IS to 3t
Foreign markets wer steady.
Bonds wen mixed.

By Fred Vniulrrseliinldt
LONDON, Sept. 13. (AP) Great
Britain's wartime parliament echoed
today with solemn government as
surances of unified French-British
determination to end "once and for
all" the pressure of nazltsm.
A stern warning was given Britain
would not tie her hands on aerial
bombing if Adolf Hitler breaks his
pledge on that same score.
Prime Minister Chamberlain, spruce
and confident after his first supreme
war council on French soil, almost
hissed the words as he told tho
house of commons both France and
Britain would fight until they had
banished "the Intolerable strain of
living under the perpetual threat of
nazl aggression."
L'p to Gerinany
Forelgn Secretary Lord Halifax si
multaneously told the house of lords
that Great Britain's pledges of re
straint In bombing operations were
based on condltlona of similar re
straint by Germany.
He said the British would "hold
themselves completely free to take
such action as they may deem appro
priate" if nazl planes turned loose
without discrimination on Polish
civilians.
This statement was prompted by
a German army announcement to
day which said the German army
henceforth would "use all means at
Its disposal" to break Polish resist
ance in open towns and villages.
Intent members leaning forward
eagerly from crowded benches heard
Chamberlain's short account of his
flying trip yesterday to meet Premier
Dnladier and General GnmcHii for
the first supreme war council "some
where in France."
Methodical Advanct
Traditional approving cries of
"Hear! Hear I" echoed deeply aa he
made these point In reviewing mili
tary activities thus far:
1. Oermany so far has directed
most of her activities against Poland,
but she has been "frustrated" by
tho "Indomitable spirit of tho Poles."
3. On the western front, France
has bgun a "methodical advance"
which has been "completely success
ful." 8. British troops are In France, but
have not gone into action yet.
(French military dispatches received
in Part shortly before the British
parliament met said a "great num
ber of well-equipped British troops
are participating In combat.)"
4. The Royal Air Force already has
a number of squadrons operating
from French soli.
6. The British merchant fleet has
suffered "somewhat severe" losses as
a result of German submarine at
tacks, but "submarines are constantly
being attacked" and "successes have
been achieved."
8. Tho British fleet has been Joined
by three Polish destroyers which
"proved to be very efficient and were
taking part In the strenuous life of
our light forces."
7. Practically all German shipping
nas neen cleared off the high seas.

acquire the proper outlook on life.
He has barred them from his court
although previously it had been the
custom to show classes through.

ADOPTED BY DAV
Resolutions favoring an American
"pact of neutrality" and condemning
Increases In the price of food prod
uct were adopted at the regular
meeting of Jackson county chapter
of the Disabled American Veterans
of the World War In the Medford
armory last night.
After observing t!iat during the
first week of the European wa; prices

staples In this country and after
asserting that there Is a "super
abundance of these food' commodi
ties" in the United States, , one
resolution urged that steps be taken
Immediately by the constituted
authority to "correct" the price
advance.
Tht other resolution asked that
the government "take such measure
and precautions which would safe
guard our neutrality."
