(By Associated Presa.l

CHICAGO, July s-The strike OF

Union telegraph company. set for {
O'Clock this morning, did not take
place, the order for a strike having
been revoked by S. j. KononEamp
president Of the Commercial Telegra
piers Union, after a long distance
telephone conference with Secretary
of Labor Wilson in Washington.
Secretary Wilson asked the head o.
the telegraphers' union not to allow
interference with the transmission o,
messages ''of vital consequence in the
prosecution of the war;" and Mr.. 10
nenkamp announced that the strike
had been indefinitely postponed.

lieve we shall obtain justice through

cisions of the National War Labor
board of complaints of employees o,
the company that they had been dis
charged because of their effiliation
with the union.

BUYING STIMULATED
BY PRICE ADVANCE

CHICAGO. July S.--Action OF con-
gress to advance the price OF wheat
had considerable bullish influence to-
day on the corn market despite an
nouncement that President Wilson
would interpose vote. Likelihood
that Canada would continue to take
corn literally for flour mixing pur-
poses tended also to stimulate buyers
Offerings were light Opening quota
tions, which varied from unchanged
figures to 3-4 higher with August 154
to 154 1-2 and September 155 3-4 to
1856, were followed by material gains
all around.
Oats rose with corn. Very little
hedging was in evidence. After open
ing IA off to ga up with August 70 3-S
to 20 ga. the market scored moder-
ate general upturn.
Strength developed in provisions
owing to falling off in hog receipts
as compared with Saturdays esti-
mate. Trade. however, was not brisk.

8 CENTS FIXED !,
AS PRICE HERE
BY THRESHERS
Profiteering Denied by Wayne
County Threshers- to
Cooperate With Farmers.

Threshermen Of Wayne county at
meeting Saturday set the following
prices: Eight cents per bushel for
wheat, cents for oats and 10 cents
for rye.
Fayette. Union and Preble county
threshermen are obtaining the same
prices for the work.
Wayne county threshermen say
they are not profiteering by asking
these prices. and assert they are anx.
ious to cooperate with farmers and
the government. They also point out
that officials Of the federal food ad
ministration say that the price OF
threshing is to be agreed upon by
farmers and threshermen and that
there is no disposition on the part OF
the department to fix prices.
They presented these statistics to
prove that an eight cent price for
wheat is not exorbitant:
The average price OF wheat frc<n
1910 to 1914 (including the 1914 cror
sold in JULY was IS cents a bushel
The threshing cost 5 cents a bushel
which meant that the farmer paid
5 SIT bushels out OF every 100 bush
els for threshing.
With wheat selling at $210 a bushes
the farmer paid only 82-10O bushels
out of every 100 bushels for his
threshing. SO that the price was real
ly lower than in the period indicated
above.
The cost of producing an acre o,
wheat prior to the war was 1852, fol
which the farmer received SIT pei
acre.
At prevailing prices. the cost Of pro
ducing an acre Of wheat is $3.50 fol
which the farmer receives $42.
In the light Of the greater return
which farmers receive for theiI
wheat. the eight cent rate. thresher
men assert, is exceedingly reasonable
and cannot be called profiteering.
