large and sarlnlc grade grain suffer
ing a sharp setback.
Oats-Bettar weather condition a
limited demand both seaboard and do
nestle. easier premiums and liberal
receipts combined to have a depress-
ing effect on oats. Strong commits

,lcult to trace the buying. Weather
condit ons generally were ideal for
filling
Provisions-Shorts bought July lard,
which caused its discount to narrow
considerably. Deliveries Of 100000
pounds Of tar1 on July contracts
passed into strong hands. Exports Of

Is big or successful. But every man In
these days must serve according to his
ability. Until this war Is over and
until the war debt Is paid those who
have the genius and ability to make
money should gladly contribute Of
their ability and genius in the way OF
turning over oil profits, above a rea-
sonable profit, to the government.
Hundreds Of thousands OF people
and necessaries Of life in order to.save
and to contribute to the government
Under such conditions no one should
wish and no she should be allowed to
take for his private gain more than q
modest profit or more than a modest
income"
Treasury Also Has Facts.
Representative Hull OF Tennessee, q
democratic member Of the ways and
means committee, said that he learned
of the excessive war profits of Amer
lean corporations thru work he has
done with the treasury department in
connection with the revenue bill.
Our bill undoubtedly will carry
large increases in taxes on excess
profits" he said. II know that in some
of the nations abroad both the excess
profits tax and price fixing by law
have been adopted to deal with similar
situations"
Representative Rainey, of Illinois,
democratic member of the ways and
means committee, said that the COM.
mittee already knows more about ex-
cessive profits which have been made
by concerns in this country since tho
war began than does the federal trade
commission.
Fears Too Much Price Fixing.
We know Of some firms" he said,
(which have made more than 1000 per
cent profit, some Of them dealing in
the necessaries of life. I think that
the situation can be gotten at best
thru taxing power OF the government.
If we fix prices on everything. there
will be no profits to tax. OF course.
7 believe there should be price fixing
on the necessaries Of life. food and
clothing"
Senator Simmons Of North Caro-
lima, chairman Of the senate finance
committee, said:
1--WE can't afford to wink at condi-
tons such as those disclosed by the
report Of the federal trade commits
sion. We will correct this situation as
far as possible thru the taxing power"

Oats, Under Selling Pressure, Turn
Down Grade - Provisions Average
Higher As Deliveries Gain Strength.

Chicago, July I. Scantiness Of
stocks available for July delivery
tended to strengthen the corn market
today. especially as from now on wheat
shipments promise to curtail ship
ments of corn. Favorable weather con-
ditions had only transient bearish
effect. Initial prices, which valued
from unchanged figures to Il cent low
err with July at s1.4714 OILS and Sep
TENDER at s1.52k. were followed by a
slight additional sag and then a ma
terial upturn all around.
Bearish crop estimates led to weak
ness in the last half Of the day. Prices
closed unsettled, u to s cent lower
with July at s1.47b to STATS and
September at s1.51S.
Oats.
Oats were under more selling pres
sure than corn. Good weather and
absence Of export demand were the
chief hearish factors. After opening
unchanged to Il cents off, with August
al 6Sas cents, the market suffered a
further setback
Provisions.
Provisions averaged slightly higher.
The fact that deliveries had passed
into strong hands counted as a bullish
influence.

sion of education and training. which has supervised the establishment of training centers and the development of instructors among the foremen and superintendents.
 Training of the various kinds of shipbuilders in the yards is accom- plished by putting the men to work on production jobs, under the supervision of a yard instructor. This yard in structor has full charge of gangs while they are learning. The efficiency of a green gang under training will aver age about 80 per cent of finished workmen.
 The first training center was estab- lished at Newport News. To it were sent skilled mechanics, selected from the yards. They were given a six weeks course of training, eight hours day. During the last part of this course they were obliged to spend 40 hours in the actual handling of gangs of green men. Yard instructors arc drawn from a variety of trades. such as rveters, ship filters ship carpen- ters, caulkers, etc.
