Declaring that the Mexican and
American wage earners Of Arizona.

derstanding which marks the begin
ming Of the end Of all future border

Pan-American Federation Of Labor
Conference Committee. at a meeting
Of this international booy in the A.
F. OF L. Building here, virtually
stated that organized labor had solved
the problem of i'll feeling on tn.
Mexican border. which has for so
long been troubling diplomats in the
Capital.
The meeting was presided over by
Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor. Dur
ing the course Of the meeting. II was
stated that mine owners of Arizona
and their managers had falsely pro-
claimed that every labor organizer
was an II. w. W" agitator, in order
that lawless bands OF vigilantes
might be organized under the direc.
control Of these same copper barons.
to terrorized and deport every wage
worker not TO their liking" It was
declared that proof could be furnish
ed to substantiate these charges.
Plans for the proposed international

the relation of the 1918 minimum pric.

effect which an early termination OF
the war would have upon the wheat
markets OF the world.
'In reaching its conclusion the COM

price should be based upon the cost
| OF production for the entire country
plus a reasonable profit. We have
relied upon the cost estimates for the
| crop of 1917 furnished by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
checked by the results of our .inde-
| pendent investigations and the
evidence submitted to the committee
by producers and their representa-
tives.
THE committee has considered the
regulations recently established by the
United States Food Administration
Grain Corporation for the different
grades of the wheat through which
all transactions in wheat are to be
standardized and speculation to be
| entirely eliminated. Also that profits
to the grain dealer. miller, and flour
dealer have been regulated and re-
duced by the grain corporation. ef-
fecting a material reduction in the
cost Of flour.
In consideration of the foregoing
facts and circumstances, this COM

timated an opinion regarding that
price"
The report OF the committee follows:
THE undersigned committee has
been asked by you TO recommend the
price which the government should
ray for the 1917 crop of wheat.
'In its deliberations the committee
has kept constantly in mind the three
following factors:
First: The fact that the United
States II at war.
Second: The need OF encouraging
the producer.
Third: The necessity OF reducing
the cost OF living to the consumer.
THE normal laws of supply and de-
mand have been violently interfered
with and Congress has undertaken to
offset this disturbance by comforting
extraordinary powers upon the Presi-
dent to stabilize prices. Each of the
foregoing factors grows out OF condi-
tlons which have received the careful
attention of the committee. Chief
among them are: That the wheat
yield in a great and important section
Of the country has this year been be-
low the normal: that over against this
situation is the crying need among
the whole body of the population, espe-
Cially the wage earners. that the ris-
ing tide OF costs shall be stayed and
reduced as rapidly as possible consist
cnt with the welfare Of the producer;
that the government is at the present
time engaged in the great task of re-
ducing and stabilizing costs OF other
staple commodities; that the wheat of
the world is abundant for its needs
even disregarding the stores in Rus
Sia, but because of lack of shipping
and war conditions the burden OF sup
plying wheat to the allies and to
neutral nations rests for the time be-

THOUSANDS APPLAUD
PATRIOTIC PICTURES
The Man Without a Country Pre-
sented at Base of Monument.

Fully 1900 people attending the pa
triotic rally held last night under the
auspices of the Bureau OF Commercial
Economics at the Sylvan Theater,
near the Washington Monumeit, saw
the first public presentation of the
rhotoplay, THE Man without
Country" founded on the story OF
that name. written by Edward Ever
EFT Hale. This patriotic film marks
the first occasion the government has
given permission for the ampitheater
to be used for showing motion pic
lures. and the picture play preceded
by official Allies war films of The
French at Salonika," showing the ia
nous ''75s" hurting death over the
Bulgarian battle lines.
Directed by John S. NJ. Zimmerman,
the United states Soldiers Home
Band gave a concert greatly enjoyed
by the throng which occupied the
ground from the stage almost back
to the base of the monument, besides
many who watched the film from
autos parked along the driveway.
Moonlight Adds to Scene.
Reserved seats were roped off in the
open-air auditorium, and special de-
tail of fifteen park policemen was on
duty TO keep the big crowd in order.
Rain threatened to end the rally
abruptly when about half over, but
the slight sprinkle soon passed and a
fun moon looked down on an inter-
esting scene, with red, white and blue
lights strung about, and the tall white
shaft Of the monument in the back
ground with its top made plain in the
glare of searchlights.
Briefly, the picture is the same story
written in 1868 as "a contribution,
however humble, toward the fOrma-
ton OF a true sentiment of love to the
nation" brought up to date TO give
horrible example" TO Stacker and
shirker in the present war.
Plot of story.
John Eaton" pacifst. is a staunch
believer in peace at any price" His
persistence In following the theory
that war is a relic OF barbaric ages
and ought not to be resorted TO
against the Huns, first loses for him
the love Of the girl TO whom he is
engaged. then the friendship OF the
pals at his club who enlist, and finally
even his self-respeCt is gone when
his valet enters the service. In des-
peration, he swears with an oath that
he wishes never to hear the name
OF the United States again Then
in a dream he is shown that John
Eaton" Is the reincarnation Of Lieut.
Philip Nolan" the original man
without a country" in the story. lie
