ARMOUR TRIED TO SELL.
Then May Wheat Went Down With
n Rush.

Rush.
Chicago, April 21.-An attempt on
the part of the Armour interests to un-
load May wheat to-day resulted in a
decline of 31a cents within less than
an hour.
At the first intimation that the lead
ing long was endeavoring to dispose
of some of his surplus stock, selling
orders came into the pit from all
quarters. The price fell so suddenly
that many brokers were unable to
execute stop loss orders until the price
had declined one and two cents be-
low the point at which they had or
ders to sell.
The recovery was equally rapid, how
ever, the price advancing from 751s to
II cents III about two minutes, and
the market steadied around 77B
cents.
The sudden drop prevented the Ar
mour brokers from selling any consid-
erable quantity.

LOU DILLON HAS A RIVAL.
The Gelding, Major Dclmar, Equals
Famous Mares Record, fTrotting
a Mile in Two Minutes.

New York, Sept. 26.-The big event
Friday at the Empire City track was the
effort Of the champion gelding, Major
Delmar, to bear his own record of 2:OOA,
and to beat the worlds record of 900
held by Lou Dillon. He trotted a most
wonderful mile, and in a game, but firing
finish, shot under the wire in the record
time. After a preliminary warming up
the gelding champion came out for his
great trial at 4:30. He went round the
first turn, broke ano came back. At the
second attempt he vent away as steady
as a clock and got to the quarter in 3OA
seconds. Up the back stretch he shot
with such lightning rapidity that he
flashed by the half-mile pole in SO sec
onds. Then the grand stand rose and
cheered as the gallant SON of Delmar
flew round the top turn to the three
quarter pole in 1929, and came home to
the wire in 200, thus equalling the time
of Lou Dillon. 1t was a splendid per-
Torrance by the animal, which only
this week changed owners at the highest
price-$40, 000-ever paid for a gelding.

Unreasonable Demands Arc Cited in
Resolutions which Are Adopted mt
Meeting I'm NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Hanna Proposed as Referee In the
Present Controversy.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 25.-Simon Burns
general master workman of the knight
of Labor, returned from Washington, D
G., Thursday, where he had been attend
ing a meeting of the general executive
boards. He reports the adoption by tn
general executive board CT the followin,
resolutions:
Whereas, The newspapers report tina
certain labor organizations and theil
leaders are attempting to have organized
labor take up the fight of the enemies Of
President Roosevelt, because of his &C
ton in the dispute existing in the govern
ment printing office in Washington, and
believing the president the best friend
organized labor ever had in the white
house and that the present move is a
political one in the interest of prominent
republicans who control some few la
Dor leaders with a desire to attempt to
defeat the nomination Of President
Roosevelt,
Therefore, Be it resolved by the gen.
eral executive board of the order Of
knights of Labor incorporated:
THAT the action taken at this time
against President Roosevelt is not in
the interest of organized labor, but a
political move that if carried out will
disrupt or lower organizations and in
jure the members, and if the leaders at
tempt any such action the majority OF
the members of all organizations with
out regard to their political opinions
should refuse to recognize and repudi-
ate such leaders and their action.
BE it further resolved, That such
action as is contemplated against Presi-
dent Roosevelt is one Of the many err
rors and mistakes made by organized
labor, and they seem inclined to ignore
the rights of others, create strikes and
make demands that are unreasonable, re-
lying not on the justice Of their con-
or claims, but the amount of loss
or trouble they a cause others and to
see what they secure by depending on
politicians and not on the justice Of
heir demands.
"And, be it further resolved, That
Is Senator Hanna, of Ohio. is said to
oe a great friend of organized labor and
hat he is also considered a loyal sup
'orter and sincere friend of President
Roosevelt, we, therefore, suggest to
10Th sides of the present controversy ex-
sting in the printing Office that they
the dispute to Senator Hanna for a
ecision."
