U. S. TO HAVE MARGIN
OF WHEAT FOR EXPORT
This Years Surplus Over Home
Needs Expected to Be About
Normal.

This years wheat crop will be suf-
tion and there will be enough left
to meet normal export requirements
That is the view of government Of
ficials. who said. today the sensational
rise in wheat prices and a correspond
ing increase in the price of flour. fol-
lowing the governments last report
a crop about two-thirds the
size of last years, was the result of
the market adjusting itself from a
crop of abnormal proportions to one
of much smaller size.
High price Of -four usually tends to
greater economy in households which
would result in reducing home con-
sumption and leave a greater quantity
of wheat for sending abroad.

Twenty Per Cent Dictate Terms.
Mr.. Frazier claims that there are
1,450,00 railroad employees outside of
the trainmen's organization. which are
now organized for a strike. and that
there are about $4,000 trainmen in the
brotherhoods He shows by these fig
ures that when an agreement Is made
by these brotherhoods with the rail-
roads 20 per cent Of the employees die
tate terms to their own advantage
without consideration of the other so
per cent.
Regarding railroad economics he
points out that 45 per cent of the in
come of the railroads is paid in wages
to employees, and that of this 28 per
cent goes to the trainmen, who have
only about 1S per cent of the working
average wage for men in these brother
hoods is s4.20. while for the other en-
ployes, including the general office
force. the average salary is 81 day.
Reasons for Appeal.
The reason for the appeal direct to
the President is because the legislative
program of Congress IL SO nearly closed
that 1t is practically Impossible to get
action. through Congress and because
the President has shown such strong
interest to avert a great Industrial
crisis.
Mr.. Frazier says that there are 5000
of these employees on the railroads for
which he works. the Nashville. Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis. and that in four
days he had 5000 signers to his ap-
peal. This road, he says, has less than
500 men in the four brotherhoods rep
resenting trainmen.
That employees of other railroads are
uniting in this appeal is testified by
Mr.. Frazier. who says that the follow
ing now have granted permission for
the petition to be circulated among the
employees: Southern Pacifie, Atchison.
Union Pacific. Rock Island, Atlanta and
West Point. Chicago and Alton. Chi
cago Great Western, Chicago and Eastern
Illinois. Chicago and Northwestern and
