steps to prevent further increase was
appointed at the meeting of the execu

Der of Commerce and chairman of the

wheat and flour are advancing at an
alarming rate and that within six

clared that neither the farmers nor the

benefiting from the raise in the price,
which is occasioned largely by the ex-
portation of wheat and -four to Europe.

FLOUR AT HIGHEST
I. LEVEL SINCE 1865
May lump to s14 a Barrel, Ac-
cording to Statements of
Washington Dealers.

The price of -four in Washington to-
day is the highest it has been since the
civil war-s9.55, 1915 and $40 bar
rel-with the prospect that if whole
sale shipment of wheat abroad is not
stopped flour will within a very few
months jump to S14 a barrel, accord
ing to statements made today by lead
ers in this line of business.
To safeguard the interests of the
consumers in the United States busi-
ness interests are considering the ad-
visibility of urging that an embargo
be placed upon the shipment of wheat
abroad, that wheat from Argentina,
Canada and elsewhere be admitted
duty free, that the American mills be
kept going and allow the flour to be
shipped to the needy of the world in
such quantities as will not impoverish
the American consumer.
At a meeting of the Washington
Chamber Of Commerce executive COM
mittee this noon this matter was con-
sidered and opinions were expressed
that this condition should be brought
to the attention of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States with a
view to having it refer the question
to the thousands of subsidiary cham
bers throughout the United States.
Views of P. T. Moran.
2. r. Moran, president of the Cham
ber of Commerce, who himself has been
wholesale dealer in flour here for
more than twenty years, gave his opin-
ion today as follows:
'If we continue selling wheat out of
the country the price of wheat and
what we have at home and keen our
mills going. Let the wheat in free.
but have no embargo on the milled
-four. 1t is not greed or an inclination
to deprive other people that prompts
this view. 1t is only meeting abnormal
conditions to care for our own needs.
In several months flour may go to S14
or SIS barrel. The growers would
not suffer through keeping the wheat
at home, for so long as the mills are
grinding the wheat they will get splen-
did prices. The bakers of the United
States at recent convention advocated
an embargo on wheat and other i'm
portant trade organizations are sup
Chamber OF Commerce stands ready to
do all 1t can in movement for the
protection of the consumer"
Flour today is selling for the highest
price since he has been in business,
Mr.. Moran says. Special brands in
twenty five barrel lots are being sold
for 1925 net The average price on
winter wheat patent -four. according
to Mr.. Moran, is 1925. and the spring
wheat mixed brings about $3.50. Some
special brands carry a premium of 60
or rs cents over that
At the Office of w. NJ. Gait & Co., 1st
street and Indiana avenue northwest,
it was stated that the price of flour to-
day is the highest In the memory of
the firm. The jobbing price was given
at 1915 on popular brand. 1t was
explained that the market price of
-four is based on the cost OF wheat:
that no trust can control prices of
whea tand -four since they are regu-
lated by the price in the markets Of
the world, and hence reach a world
standard.

Attitude of Woman Voters.

Indications are at hand that on this,
as on the war exemptive, the woman
voters are inclining to side with Presi-
dent Wilson. Here is a sample, quoting
verbatim from the speech of Mrs. An
toinette Funk Of Illinois, a leader
among the woman voters, delivered at
Springfield, September 26, who said: Il
came to President Wilson because l be-
lieve in his labor legislation. no matter
what happens to the particular meas
ure, the Adamson bill. whether 1t is
amended or repealed. Quite regardless
of the special controversy of the mo-
ment, l consider that this measure has
put the advent of the short working
day ahead quarter of a century and
in very special manner it affects leg
islation regarding women"
There 1t is. quite regardless of the
special controversy of the moment.

the democratic position and from Henry
Ford all down the line the democrats
will sound ii necessarily.

CHICAGO, September 28.-
Two tasks confront the republi-
can campaign managers at this
stage OF the proceedings and en-
ploy their most earnest considera-
ton. The first is to keep their
newborn issue of the eight-hour
wage coercion from being dis

Burden on the G. o. P.

However, Sthe statement of Mr.. Ford
on the eight hour principle is not
lightly overlooked, and the fact is not
lost sight of that while a statement is
not an argument, in the present cir
cumstances it devolves upon the re-
publicars to bring out the argument.
That is what they are going to do
from now until election day. The re-
publicans are giving devout thanks
that the eight-hour climax came so far
in advance of election day-s If 1t had
been sprung fortnight before No
vember their problem would have
been harder.
1t remains to be demonstrated
whether their speakers can keep the is
sue as clearly defined as did Mr.. Hughes
in his first stand upon the subject, or
whether the opposition will be success
full in giving it the humanitarian i'm
print of a stand for the principle of the
eight hour day OF labor.
