General of Railroads McAdoo. |
worked at the Union Pacific shops
myself some years ago and | we'll
remember we were strictly pro-
hibited from engaging in political
activities in any way. We were
not allowed to discuss politics while
at work, We couldn't put up BAN
ners, tack up placards or distribute
political cards.
And here Mr.. Grace comes out
with al etter written on the union
letterhead, soliciting votes for can
didates. | don't believe that such
action will meet the approval of I'M
ion men who are for fair play and
who resent having anyone dictate to
them how or for whom they shall
vote.
Il don't know whether Mr. Grace
did this on his own initiative or
whether he did it at the request of
some interest. No matter what the
reason, it was a piece of bad busi-
ness and poor politics."

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Turkish and Austrian Peace Moves Give
Corn Values Downward Swing.

Chicago, Oct. 29.--Turksh and Austrian
proposals to the entente powers gave no.
ticeable advantage today to bears In the
corn market. Largely as a result, clos
ing prices, although unsettled, were l to
4Ac net lower, with November $1.21A and
December s1.1sh to s1.1SS. Oats lost
Is to NC. The outcome In provisions
ranged from 37c decline to SOC advance.
Corn started downgrade as soon as the
market opened. Initial weakness was due
mainly to confirmation of the unreserved
character Of Austrias plea, the full text
OF which was not available during the pre-
vious days session. After a moderate
break in values, however, commission
house buying became Of sufficient extent
to cause fair rally. but support dwindled
again when word was passed that indie
pendent negotiations with Turkey promised
to end soon. Throughout the day better
weather and increasing movement of the
new crop tended further to handicap the
bulls. Besides, Chicago prices were said
to be above a parity with certain other
important shipping centers.
Oats eased down with corn, although de-
clines were checked somewhat by unfa-
vorable crop reports from Canada Do
nestle and seaboard demand was slow.
Provisions were neglected, and for the
most part lower. Scattered selling Of jan
uary deliveries was ascribed to packers.

Howard FINDS
CONDITIONS ARE
GOOD IN WEST
Crops Excellent and Prospects
Even Better, is Report Of
Returned Burlington
Official.

5. B. Howard, immigration agent
OF the Burlington, has returned
from an extended western trip that
took him over large portion of
Wyoming and western Nebraska.
In Wyoming he found the people
prosperous and business in good
condition, where practically every
where ip the agricultural sections
farmers have gathered better than an
average crop.
In the oil producing sections Of
Wyoming he ascertained that new
development work, especially
among the small concerns, is almost
at standstill, owing to the inabil-
ity to obtain pipe and material for
putting down wells. The big COM
panies that laid in a supply OF ma
terial prior to the government TAX
ing over the operation Of the steel
and ron producing plants are going
ahead with their work and are carry
ing on development at a rapid rate,
bringing in considerable number
of new wells.
In western Nebraska, Mr.. How
ard asserts that conditions are. TN
usually good. Farmers are obtain
ing high prices for everything they
have to sell and the quantity of
grain and farm produce is enormous.
The recent frequent and heavy
rains have put the ground in splen-
did condition for next years crop
ping and farmers are in high spirits
over the future outlook. The acre
age of winter wheat is fully up to
the normal and in most of the fields
the grain is up, pretty we'll covering
the ground.
