RUBBER STRIKERS BACK.

Action by the state legislature in re
fusing to appoint committee to investi-
gate conditions in Akron's rubber fac
tories and failure by members Of the
state board of arbitration to make any
move to bring striking rubber workers
and employers together. were followed
Tuesday by the first heavy desertions
from the strikers ranks.
Estimates based on counts made at the
larger plants Tuesday indicate that ap-
proximately $500 strikers, seeing no inn
mediate adjustment of their differences
and fearing conditions that may be i'm
posed upon them If they remain out
longer, have returned to work.
This reduces the ranks of the strikers
to about $4,000

Turkey Prices High.

Chicago. Ill. Nov. 2s-Turkeys at 8
cents pound.
This Thanksgiving Day prediction was
made today. 1t was based on the No.
vember heat wave"
Sixty per cent OF the turkeys reaching
South Water street are spelling en-
route" declared Frederick Kruedez, a
poultry merchant. The Wholesale
market price today is 3 cents, to which
may be added cents to set the average
retail price. Unless cold weather comes
to the relief of the Missouri and Indiana
farmer and the street there will be no
more shipments and prices will soar ac-
cordingly.
THE practice is to dry pick or feather
the birds where they are killed. The
turkeys are not cleaned The farmer
then packs them in barrels or big boxes
and expresses them. Warm weather
makes the turkeys steam and that
spOils or greens them en- route. Such
birds are worthless.
The result has been the discontinue
ton of shipments by the farmer. Tur-
keys now in the market will command 5
to cents increase this week"
The same heat wave will bring some
reduction in the price of eggs, according
to Peter NJ. Weber, of Weber & Nord-
brock.

Influx to Cities.
There has been a jump Of at least
cents a pound in turkeys in the last
ten years." p. Marion Walker. the poul-
try dealer, said yesterday. The prin-
cipal reason for this is the tendency Of
people to desert the country for the city.
The population has been increasing all
the time. The demand for supplies has
been increasing, and at the same time
the people have been fiocking from the
country to the city, and now we have
only a small class on the farms to I'LL
