MORE DRASTIC ACTION
 EXPECTED AT CHICAGO
Speculation in Grain May Be Effectively Curbed
 During War.

Chicago, May 15.-A sentiment was manifest on the board of trade today that the action yesterday of the board of directors of the organization in forbidding further trading in May corn and oats and suspending for two days all purchases of wheat, except for the liquidation of existing contracts, was but the forerunner of moro dras- tic steps to curb speculation in grains. Delegates from the grain exchanges of St. Louis, Kansas City. Omaha, Min neapolis, Duluth and Toledo are ex-' pected to meet here late today with the board of directors of the Chicago board to discuss the situation in an attempt to evolve plan for concerted action by all the grain markets of the country.
 Yesterdays actions, not only by the Chicago board, but also by those of other leading markets, was said to have been the most radical in the history of the trade.
 The largest immediate effect came with the fixing of the maximum prices for wheat. which automatically pre- vented any person from bidding up the market.
 dered by the board of trade yesterday resulted in further price recessfons in early grain trades today. July wheat sold off eleven cents to SPAS and Sep tember eight cents to $2.20.
 Corn dropped from 2 1-2 to 1-2 cents and oats from to 1 1-2 cents.

Washington, May 15.-The AIIa1 representatives now in WashinGt69a have informed the president and hls military advisers that France An6a England stand ready to fuFnish A1I# equipment for any force tColoAoas Roosevelt may be permitted to Iuae4' for immediate service at tho fruuegS For this statement there is the higAe66s authority.

 which, 1t has been declared in ope debates in congress there b no grt0 supply on hand. x The offer eliminates the ob5Acti0a(S that tho sending of the Roosevslt Aas vision abroad would delay tho equ9Na ping and preparation of other tre0uASs for service at the front. issS
 The Allies want no American axtti.ss lery, for their experts report that none of the field equipment of thu United States army is up to the stan-s dard now required by the fightiua forces in the field. troops to land in France be equipped with the rifles in ase by French pr { British troops. largely because there is an ample stock available. but mainly because the introduction of q com-i parativeiy small force at the front ! using a different type of weapon and different ammunition would make for lessened efficiency.
 Using the French or British rife, immense quantities of ammunition would at all times bs available. Usins the Springfield, this might not always be the case, and the supplying of an : other type of ammunition would tend to complicate transport problems.
 The objection of the foreign experta to American artillery has been . mat ter of moro or less common 3nowl.g edge in military circles for some time but the fact that equipment issrsady for such troops as those COa0nd Roosevelt proposes to raise has sheoN known to few. MS sat sf5tstS
 Under existing circumstances &h4H visitors have been extremely car1tn3e not to do anything that might o11a4 the administration. but they have not failed to emphasize the need ots France for msn, and the hope of bot1 countries that the former president would soon be seen in command ,oif troops in tho neld.

CLERKS THREATEN
 TO STAGE STRIKE
Demand Bardo Withdraw Letter
 Sent to Federal Conciiators

New Haven. May 15.-Unless c. l.. Bardo. general manager of the New Haven road, withdraws his letter ad- dressed to the federal conciliators. acting in the controversy between the road and its railway freight clerks. a few hours after decision had been made by the government conciliators on, the dispute between the railroad and the clerks, in which he fatly re- fused to accept the recommendations laid down on. all but one question. 9
 strike will be called of all freight clerks in the roads employ tomorrow.
 James J. Forester, grand president of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks.
 now in this city, sent a letter to Gen
 eral Manager Bardo late last night
 giving him until noon tomorrow in
 which to comply with the federal
 agreement or. else all the 2.80O to
 2.9OO clerks involved, will be called
 out on strike tomorrow afternoon.
 This action on the part of the gen. eral manager came as a surprise to
 the clerks, who had supposed that the road would recognize the agree ment drawn by the federal officials. The clerks are willing yo abide by the decision of the moderators and insist that the road do likewise. Gen. eral Manager Barde bases his refusal 1t seems, on the claim that the con- ciliators have embodied a recommen- dation regarding vacation and sick leave which was not matter of dis pute in the original instance.
 While the clerks asked for g. 10 per cent. increase, the federal arbitrators | grant them an per cent. raise and provide that the men have at least two Saturday half holidays each month. This point, together with the provision regarding mems holidays. was at first considered to be the end
 of the controversy, but General Man 1 ager Bardo's letter to the United l States conciliators and to President Forester of a hat refusal was for l warded within a few hours after the award had been received, and nothing
 but his withdrawal of the letter can prevent another rupture, 1t now seems.

MARKET UNSTEADY,
 BUT DECLINES FEW
Bright Spot in Trading Was
 Soon After Opening

Wall Street.-The~ international situation, particularly the news from Russia, was again the cause of mod crate unsettlement at the outset of today's market operations. Leading munitions, equipments, coppers and shfpp1ngs averaged point under clos ing prices of the preceding session. U. s. Steel, whose initial offering com prised 6,50O shares at IF and 1884, showed a maximum decline of half a point. High grade rails, like Union Pacific, Reading and Great Northern, were affected to a similar extent and Ohio Gas lost 2% points. Mexican Petroleum was the noteworthy excep- tion. advancing almost two points. General improvement set in before the end of the first half hour
 The early rally brought full recov- cry to steel and other active issues, but was immediately followed by fresh selling on a broader basis which sent prices under opening levels. The movement was accompanied by re- newed weakness in Russian bonds on the curb. Trading then settled down to its full routine of recent days, in- vestment rails, however, suffering further impairment at extreme de- clines of to 2h points. Rails and fractions were the heavy features of bond market.
 The monotony of the very dull in- termediate session was partially re- lieved by diversion in the special group. Industrial alcohol. distillers securities and superior steel rose to points. Changes. elsewhere in the list were nominal
 Closing--Acute weakness in loca fractions. some of which established new low records, acted as 8 weight or standard stocks in the desultory deal. ings of the last hour. The closing
 vxas heavy. Sales approximated 45O,. 900 shares.

SECOND PRIZE
"Why | Should Join the Red Cross"

Because | am loyal American
and should be glad of the oppor-
tunity to help. Because I am MOI
old enough to give my services,
should be glad and willing and anx-
ious to help those who are fighting
for my protection. Because it is
the duty and privilege of those
that stay at home to properly care
for those that stay at the front,
and send help to the sick, suffering
and wounded soldiers. We should
not give through fear, but because
il is our duty and if our soldiers are
willing to give their lives why should
we hesitate to give our money!
This is not the time for half-heart-
ed patriotism; you are for Uncle
Sam or against him, there is no
middle ground Because the Red
Cross is dong work that cannot
be done by any other organization.
Because love the Stars and
Stripes. Earl King Senff.
