A. T. of L.
Holds Convention This Week
In Baltimore


Baltimore, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor
was the most important feature of
opening Of the thirty sixth annual
convention of the federation. One
of the striking features of the re-
port, read last Monday evening,
was the denunciation of what was
called an "essention feature" Of
President Wilson $ proposals for
legislation. This was the creation
Of Compulsory governmental insti
tutions to regulate industrial rela

or operated by the Government
itself. F" This was declared to be
"a revolutionary proposition totally
out of harmony with our pr vail

with our philosophy Of govern

United States will oppose any pro
position to impose on them compul

Speaking Of the eight hour day
law passed by Congress 10 avert the
recently threatened railroad strike,
the report says "For nearly a
century the labor movement of
America has conducted a campaign
for the establishment of maxi
mum eight-hour work day." and
characterizes tn legislation by
. Congress as a notable movement. =

tablished as a primary step in con
serving the lives and the working
power Of wage earners"
1t taking the position that the
principle Of the eight hour day
should be conceded as a right that
ought not be arbi5rated, the report
says. Neither President Wilson
nor the railroad brotherhoods re-

wrongfully claimed Those mat

armed with two machine guns. the Ger

REDUCED ACREAGE
4 CARRIES WHEAT UP
DECLINE SETS IN AFTER SEED
ING IN NORTHWEST Is
RESUMED.

Chicago, May 1.-THE highest
prices for wheat last week we're made
on Wednesday, when reports of
greatly reduced acreage we're given
to the trade. Prices declined later,
however, after a couple of sunshiney
days had caused a resumption of
seeding in the Northwest.
Many of the larger traders are
keeping out of the market for the
present They want to see May Ii
quotation out of the way and are
also watching the distribution of
Canadian stocks en- route to the sea-
board before making large commit
ments either way. They also desire
more positive confirmation of politi-
cal conditions. Until they are adj
justed they are disposed to sell on all
bugles.
Cash interests expect to see May
wheat drop to a full carrying charge
under July before May liquidation
is over. Late seeding in the north
west is strengthening values there
and they are working to large prem
iums over Chicago, which, bulls pre-
dict, should turn buying in favor of
hard winters.
Crop experts continue to find mixed
conditions in the winter wheat States.
in Oklahoma green bugs are damag-
ing the crop, according to reports re-
ceiyed from several sources. In Kan
sas the condition is spotty. There is
more or less acreage everywhere In
that State that is poor and may for
abandoned later. 1t will require fire.
quent showers to maintain present
conditions.
Corn was strong early in the week,
bulls giving the market more sup
port because of bad weather and a
large reduction in the visible supply.
The market weakened late in the
| week after the weather became more
favorable. The buying early in the
week was based to some extent to the
good cash demand, the Southwest re-
porting good sales for export. The
weather the last few days has been
ideal for planting, and country sta
lions reported increased offerings be-
cause of the improved conditions OF
the country roads.
Fine weather conditions in all d.
rections for the growing plant caused
the oats market to weaken late in the
week. Exporters took May oats free
ly early in the week and caused the
market to sell higher.
