- Chicago. May 5.-Fresh upturn IN
the value Of corn resulted today from
continued wet weather, which made
both hauling and planting difficult II
not impossible. On the new advance
July delivery touched the highest price
yet this season. Profit taking sales,
however. led subsequently to some
thing Of a reaction. Opening figures
which ranged from u to rs cents
, higher, with July at 1854 10 $l.l
and September at sl.65 TO 1856, were
followed by moderate additional gains
and by rallies from the ensuing set
back.
A sensational break Ia prices took
place Just before the close as a result
of heavy selling and a sudden lack
of support. The extraordinary change
in the temper OF the market was due
to announcement from Minneapolis
that the United States government
had arranged to import wheat from
Cauada and that a downward revision
of prices of foodstuffs was antic!pat-
ed.
The extreme fall OF values was about
IL cents, but the market also reacted
with great ab-uptness. The close was
excited, 3 to 5 cents net lower, with
July at s1s5A to s1.658s and Septem-

SYMPATHY FOR ERNEST LISTER
STATEF. OF |. PASSES RESOLUTIONS

BELLINGHAM, June 16.-Sus-
pending the rules and by rising
and almost unanimous vote the del
egates to the eighteenth convention
of the Washington State Federation
resolutions of sympathy and respect
for the memory of Governor Lister.
The resolutions We're presented
by the Executive Council of the
Federation and were given prece-
dence over all other business. Scat
tering opposition developed to the
adoption of the resolutions by some
of the more radical delegates, who
took the stand that Lister was a
representative of the ruling class
and therefore not entitled to special
consideration by the convention.
Following is the text:

STATE LABOR BODY
GET YEARLY REPORT

BELL1NGHAM, June 16.-The
major part of the afternoon of the
first day of the eighteenth annual
convention of the Washington State
Federation of Labor was taken up
with the reading by President Will
liam Short of the report of the Ex-
ecutive Council of the organization.
The report of the Executive Coun-
Gil this year takes the place of the
separate reports of the President
and the several Vice-Presidents,
covering the same ground but once
instead of several times as formerly,
though putting a severe strain on
the President, who is compelled to
read the report.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1919-06-20
Short Reads the Report

The report is a review of the
work of the Federation for the past
year, dealing with the outrage
against the Grange at Walla Walla
last year; with the political cam
paign; with the four-L's and Col
onel Disque; with the reconstruc-
tion program; with the Industrial
Code Commission and the failue of
the Acting Governor to give labor
equal representation on that Com
mission; with the snipyard and
general strike in a non-committal
manner; with women organizers.
pointing out that work must be
continued along this line and ask
ing for an increase in per capita
tax to cents per month to meet
the costs; with the weakly bulletin
which has been established to serve
the needs of some of tie papers
which have not been able to get
much labor news; with Tho appoint
ment of the District Board under
the accident prevention act, and
other matters of interest.
A feature of the report of the
Council is the inclusion of a snappy
summary of the work accomplished
in each district by the District Vice
Presidents, who are: First District,
l.. L. Clifford, Bellingham; Second
District, William J. Coates, Spo-
kane Third District, o. X. Swee-
ney. Walla Walla; Fourth District,
V. T. Evans, Aberdeen; Fifth Dis

Sixth District, J. A. Taylor, Seat

The report concludes with plea
for unity and tolerance that if fol-
lowed by the delegates will un-
doubtedly increase the effectiyen ess

BOARD Of FARM ORGANIZATIONS
WANTS US. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

WASHINGTON, d. c. June s.
The National Board of Farm Organ
izations, representing over 3,000,-
600 farmers in every State in the
Union, today asked Congress to
provide for the continuance of the
United States Employment Service.
The National Grange, numbering a
million farmer-members, also has
made similar request.
In letters sent today to the chair
men of the Appropriations and La
Dor Committees of the House and
Senate, the National Board of Farm
rganizations, through William T.
Greasy, of Pennsylvania, chairman
Of it's executive committee, said that
the Federal Employment Service
has been of "incalculable value" to
the farmers of the country in the
past and that it is especially needed
this year in view of the farm labor
situation. Without it, he said the
Western wheat farmers will be ma
terially injured"
mo labor problem is more Sc
rious than that of supplying ade
quate farm labor for the farmers at
the points where needed and at the
proper time said Mr.. Creasy's

that there is a surplus of labor in
certain centers, still the farmers are
having great difficulty in obtaining
sufficient labor to meet their needs.

farmers have some agency of ma
tional scope through which to OBJ
tain their help when needed and

ary, pay or compensation during the
last ten years. 1t is provided, how
ever, that no annuity shall exceed
1920 per annum or be less than
$3.50 per annum. The McKeller-
Heating bill provided for a maxi
mum annuity of $500 per annum
, with no minimum.
A new classification is provided
by dividing the years of service into
three-year periods instead of five
years periods, as in the McKellar
Keating bill.
The provision for deducting 21b
per cent from the employees basic
salary, pay or compensation, re-
mains unchanged. Adequate pro-
vision is made for return of deduc-
tions with compound interest at
per cent in case of separation from
the service, or the death of the en-
ployee, before reaching retirement
age; also in case of death after re-
tirement, the excess of deductions
over amount paid in annuities will
be returned to the estate of the an
nuitant. The term "basic salary
pay or compensation" is defined in
the new bill.
1t is proposed to vest the admin
istration of the law in the Com
missioner of Pensions under direc-
tion of the Secretary of the In
terror. The Bureau of Pensions is
well equipped to undertake this ad-
ditional work. Provision is made
for payment of annuities monthly
and for prompt adjudication of all
claims for annuities, refunds and al
lowances.
The Civil Service Commission is
charged with the duty of keeping a
complete record of appointments
and changes in the service, and is
required to furnish the Commits
sioner of Pensions, upon applica-
tion therefore, with such reports
as may be necessary to the proper
adjustment of claims.
The members of the Joint Con-
ference express the opinion that a
bill will be reported favorably by
the Committee on Reform in the
Civil Service at an early date, and
the passage of the bill by the House
is foregone conclusion.

INVEST LIBERTY BOND

SEATTLE, June 1S.-"lf every
person in Snohomish County who
owns a Liberty Bond of the first is
sue invests the interest coupons in
Thrift and War Savings Stamps this
week, the total sales will amount to
over $40, 1000" is the statement
made by County Director of War
Savings Clifford Newton. The
semi-annual payday on first Lib
erty Loan Bonds fell on the fif-
teenth of June, and all week the
banks of the Nation have been max
ing payments in exchange for the
clipped coupons.
"The patriotic duty of evrey
American is to save first and spend
afterwards Mr.. Newton says.
That is the reason the Government
is offering these securities to the
people, because they encourage saw
ings and thrift The Government
could easily obtain the money which
is derived from War Savings sales
at less expense. but the desire is to
inculcate the thrift idea as much as
possible
The county quota for 1919 is
$3S3,450, which is less than one
half the total amount subscribed for
Thrift and War Savings Stamps in
1918. State Director Graham is of
the belief that Snohomish County
will be one of the first to fill its
quota fer the year 1919.

be serious, particularly in the big
wheat belt extending from Texas to
the Canadian border, wherein is
grown three-fourths of the entire
wheat crop of the United States.
During the past two seasons the
U. s. Employment Service has so
modified the labor forces that by
judicious distribution following the
ripening of, grain the farmers were
able to harvest their crops with a
minimum loss of wheat. If a ma
tional service is not main tained
the farmers will be materially in
jured by not having the advantage
of drawing on the labor supplies in
other States at the time needed.
at would certainly be unjust to
compel not only the worker, but in
many instances the farmer to pay a
fee to private employment agency
for every worker furnished. In
these times it would be a great mis-
take to compel the L. S. Employ
ment Service to cease operations,
particularly in view of the present
labor situation in the agricultural
districts"
A. L. Barkman, in charge of the
farm labor activities of the U. S.
Employment Service in the Western
wheat belt, with quarters at Kan
sas City, Kans., estimates, in a re-
port received today by the service
here, that 100000 men will be
needed for the Kansas harvest,
which should begin between June
18th and goth in the southern part
of the State, reaching the central
portion ten days later.
