TO TEACH USES OF CORN
THEN CHICAGO HOPES TO SELL
IT TO EUROPE.
Council Of Grain Exchanges Proposes
Plan to Avoid Possible Wheat
Shortage.

Chicago, Ill.-An invasion Of
Europe by an army OF American cooks
to introduce corn bread, corn cakes
and fried mush to peasantry now
familiar with black wheat bread was
the plan advocated here at the sixth
annual meeting of the Council Of
Grain Exchanges as a means Of avoid
ing wheat shortage in the United
States.
The plan to feed Europe corn and
keep the wheat for home consump-
tion originated with John w. Snyder,
treasurer of the Baltimore Chamber
of Commerce. Snyder pointed QUE
that other countries can compete with
the United States in raising wheat,
but not in the production Of corn.
"The selling Of corn in Europe for
food would be followed by other uses
and the result would soon be big
market for product that America
has almost for ITSELF" he said.

Every Man in v. s. Should
Have a Job.

New York, N. Y.-"Every worker
In the United States is entitled to a
job. and the government should see
ual right. the worker is entitled, in
addition, to sickness insurance, to
old age pensions, and above all, a
share in the profits resulting from his
labor"
This was the sentiment expressed
by Daniel Guggenheim, millionaire
mining and smelter king, to the fed
eral industrial relations commission.
Mr.. Guggenheim was an amazing wit.
ness, so radical in certain of his views
as to cause audible wonder from Ger.
tain parts Of the audience. He open
ly characterized his own views as SO.
cialistic.
He said he believed better day for
industrial workers Is dawning in the
United States, because employers at
last are realizing that they must be
more fair to their employees. Envy he
characterized as the great canker af.
fecting the body polite and he said
he sympathized with the worker who
was envious.
The smelter king declared he ia.
vored trades unionism as general
proposition, although he maintained
the "open shop" in his own proper.

coal operators in the United States,

the maximum workday In that indus.

would only work about 10 days a

There are holidays. pay days and

the result is that we never have re.

capital we have invested"

record, deem it SO probable that error
occurred as to make review of the
case by an appellate court advisable.
Two or three sections recommend
