New York, Oct. Withdrawal
of labor delegates from the indus
trial conference and Gompers' dec
lination may temporarily check the
buying wave in the stock market
The threat of a general railroad
strike and tieup of coal mines adds
to difficulties now causing so much
concern. Yesterdays wild market
in Republic steel appears to be
nothing more or less than crystal
ization of bullish sentiment. Early
in the day word had been passed
around that Republic would have
an important advance. AS the day
progressed the tip was Industrious
ly circulated and buying orders
poured in for the stock from every
Quarter If the news becomes more
cheerful concerning the Industrial
conference and the labor situation
big buying activity may be antici-
pated.
The public demand for stocks is
based on activity of business
throughout the country, and hope
of early action of a favorable ma
ture in the supreme court on pend
ing big matters, notably the ques-
ton of taxability of stock dividends
as income. Money questions are
being debated by authorities, but 1
do not believe there is a chance of
any action of a generally repressive
sort.

HOGS DECLINE
DOwDturns Result from Selling
Caused by Bolt Of Labor
from Conference.

/. Chicago, Oct. 23.-Corn under
went a fresh setback in value to-
day largely as a result of new
downturns in the price of hogs
Selling was induced also by the
weakness of stocks and by the bolt
Of the labor delegates from the in
dustrial conference at Washington.
Considerable notice, too, was TAX
en- of the unpromising outlook re-
garding the threatened strike Of
coal miners. Opening prices. which
ranged from &c off TO 1sc up. with
December at 1241s to I241a and
May at 1925 to 1.23, were follow
ed by material decline all around
and then something of a reaction.
In the last part of the day, raj
lies were checked after the mine
workers had refused Secretary
Wilson's strike settlement proposal
and after the industrial conference
as originally constituted had quit.
The market closed nervous, 12c net
lower to 11zc advance. with Deem
Der 1.2412 to 124A, and May 1925
TO 1.2215
Oats weakened with corn. After
opening &c to sc down. including
December at 71isc to 71l4C, the
market continued to sag.
Provisions parted company with
the hog market and rallied after
an initial downturn.

groups participation in the confer
epSe. He began his last speech by
TeGding the resolution on which
the labor delegates went down TO
final defeat. The resolution reads:
The right of wage earners TO or
ganize without discrimination. to
bargain collectively, to be repre-
scented by representative of their
own choosing in negotiations and
adjustments with employers in re-
EpeCt to wages, hours OF labor and
relations and conditions of employ
ment is recognized"
Then he stated that as the en-
ployer group had defeated his res
Olution, which he declared to be Of
general nature and fundamental
that there was nothing further to
be gained by remaining in the con-
ference. He said that there were
other measures, such as arbitra-
ton. for consideration by the con
ference. but that the vote of >one
Apup, such as the employers
crS6p, could and would defeat
them.
Mr.. Gompers asserted the posi-
zion in which The employing group
had placed the employers of Amer
lea by voting down the resolution
was not an enviable one.

COUNTY FARM
LEADERS Dine
And TALK SHOP
Drive for Organization Made Occa-
sion for Meeting of Much
Profit to All Taking Part.

Splendid was the spirit OF uni
fed good-felIowship pervading the
banquet last evening OF members,
solicitors and officers Of the Mer-
Ger county farm bureau, held at
the Merchants hotel. About fifty
five were seated about the festive
board and enjoyed the feast pro-
vided.
AS Elisha Lee, president Of the
association, said, there wasn't an
unsmiling face in the party.
Everywhere was good will. After
the course dinner, President Lee
in a few brief, but fitting words.
introduced Rev. John Acheson of
Monmouth, enc of the state asso-
citation canvassers, as POSTMASTER
of the evening. Rev. Mr.. Acheson
enacted his role we'll and kept the
audience in a continuous laughter
with witty sallies and humorous
anecdotes.
C. A. Beers, secretary of the
farm bureau, was introduced by
the POSTMASTER. Mr.. Beers re-
viewed the history OF the Mercer
county organization from the time
of its founding, four years ago, and
spoke of the progress attained dur
ing that period.
Feature of the evenings program
was the interruption of Mr.. Beers
talk by Farmer Len Small of out
SUBWAY, who broke into the gath
ering clad in truly picturesque
Overalls, slicker. high felt boots
and battered crush hat, clamoring
in a loud voice for Farmer Rick
ey" When the turmoil occasioned
by the entrance of the intruder
a humorous dialogue be-
tween Farmer Small and County
Advisor P. S. Richey ensued
Fertility of his soil, diseased con-
dition Of his corn, hogs and cows
were among the matters upper
most in the mind of Farmer Small
and he sought advice from the
county agent. But when question
ed he admitted that he had refused
TO sign up in the membership drive
of the farm bureau association,
now nearly completed. The farm
finally satisfied Mr.. Small,
who, Convinced of the advantages
of the benefits to be derived from
in the state and county
associations. finally signed a mem
bership pledge. The part of the
stingy. narrow minded farmer was
we'll represented by one of the
state solicitors. The dialogue
caused much merriment and was
enjoyed by the audi
ence.
The farmers viewpoint was apt
ly portrayed by Lee Thornton of
township. He told of
the conditions now confronting the
agriculturalist and plead for or
ganization in order that the farmer
may attain the end which he seeks
"a square deal"
Interesting talks were made also
by Robert l. Watson. Sam Thomp-
son of Quincy, a solicitor; II. A. |
Wells, member of the state legis- !
Iature; A G. Bridgford, and Cap |
tain W. H Moody of Cordova, who /
has led the canvassers in the Mer- !
GER county campaign.

Chicago. Oct. 23-Lowest hog
prices of the fall are due in the
next week. According to the cal
endar the hog lows should be here
this week. The late Wednesday
rally was due to short covering
Commitments were light and met
by very poor pit offerings. Shorts
should be we'll covered and there is
a formidable list of strike news this
morning. Railroad firemen talk of
a strike before Jan. l. the coal
strike dispute overhangs the bust
ness and labor has dropped the
conference. The dock strike in
New York also fingers. Without
fresh news the markets look a sale
after bulges. The corn market
adopts the dull spots during the
session that suggest price levels
are not drifting seriously either
way. Iowa reports show farmers
are well organized to protect farm
prices. News on country offerings
is mixed. Half the belt appears to
be selling a little new corn not
aheSe a 120 Chicago basis The
EIge strike news and continued
break in hogs has cut cash provi-
sion purchases ahead seriously.
Stockyards writers expect lower
hog prices. Feeders ara rushing
underweight hogs to market on the
DRY that feeding means little profit.
One report says scarcity of cars
alone prevents a heavier hog run.
In a general way the grain news
yesterday was unimportant beyond
slump in hogs. If market breaks
before II a. m. another late rally
should occur.
