New York, Sept. 1.-THE citizens
of Metz have received with acclaim
the offer of the knights of Colum-
bus to erect an equestrienne statue
of the Marquis de Lafayette on the
site in Metz, form erly occupied by
the statue of ex-Kaiser Wilhelm II,
of Germany. At their Peace Con-
vention in Buffalo the knights of
Columbus voted $4,000 for the
statue, the fund to be raised by vol
untary contributions among their
membership. The knights sent a
letter, offering the statue. to Am
bassador Jusserand and cable to
Captain Andre Tardieu.
1t is proposed that the statue be
moulded partly from bronze taken
from captured German artillery and
Marshal Foch has been invited to
unveil the statue.
Lafayette will be represented in
the statue leaving the historic gar
rison of Metz in 1775 to enlist his
services with the American colonies.
The statue will have four bas relief
designs, one depicting Marshal Foch
in August, 1918, prophetically an
swering the knights of Columbus
when he wrote: "It was from Metz
that Lafayette went to help your an
cestors and we shall one day see
your victorious banner floating over
Metz" The second. bas relief will
show President Wilson reading
Americas answer to Germanys ruth
less warfare before Congress in April,
1917. The third will show General
John j. Pershing standing before
the Tomb of Lafayette in Paris
when he uttered the historical
phrase: Lafayette, we are here"
The fourth will illustrate the dis
covery of America by Christopher
Columbus.
Plans for the unveiling of the
statue are set for September G.
Lafayette Day-next year, at which
time hundreds OF knights of Colum-
bus will leave in one or more speci-
ally chartered ocean liners to wit
ness the event. DR.. Marcel Knecht,
of the French Mission to the United
States, is completing the French ar
rangements for the statue. The X.

Farmers Ask For Even
Vote With Labor Delegates

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE farm
ers of the United States through the
National Board of Farm Organiza-
tions yesterday called upon PresI-
dent Wilson to give them equal
representation on the industrial con-
ference of October 6 with labor, or
fifteen members instead of the three
that they have been allowed.
Labor has been given large repre-
sentation, although it raised hell
generally, while agriculture has
been loyal" said Milo D. Campbell
chairman of the national board,
while urging passage of the resolu-
ton demanding greater representa-
ton for the farmers.
The powers that be saw fit in the
first place to ignore us entirely and
then made room for three repre-
sentatives, I know the President
has a multitude of weighty matters
on his mind, but that is no reason
why he should ignore the greatest
industry in the United States. the
industry on which all other indus
tries depend for their existence.

Blood Iron Phosphate
For Weak, Thin Folks

Weak, thin, nervous people almost
invariably owe their condition to
lack of phosphate in the nerves and
lack of iron in the blood. One of the
surest, quickest and safest ways in
which to make up the deficiency is to
take with each meal a five-grain tab
let of digestible phosphate and iron
known among druggists here as
Blood Iron Phosphate; because it
supplies iron to the blood as we'll as
phosphate to the nervous system.
People who have tried it say that
one five-graln tablet taken with each
meal quickly restores depleted
nervous energy. enriches the blood,
increases strength, vitality and en-
durance, and those who are too thin
usually put on pounds of solid stay
there flesh in short time. Inasmuch
as Geo. A. Gorgas and all other drug
gists are authorized to sell Blood-Iron
Phosphate under a guarantee of sat
isfaction or money back, every thin.
weak, nervous or anemic man or wo-
man should give it a trial without de-
lay.

Bottom Drops :

Fright of the Spectators
Sends Corn Down III 1@c
a Bushel ON the Chicago
Board of Trade

CHICAGO, April e.-Overwhelming
rushes to sell swept ali grain and pro-
vision prices headlong downward to-
day on the Board of Trade. Con-
fronted with the imminent imposition
of rigid restrictions OH speculation,
designed to prevent undue advances in
the cost of foods, traders sold their
speculative holdings almost without
regard for prices. The decline in corn,
reaching 111s cents a bushel in con-
tracts for delivery in early months,
was the greatest experienced in more
than two years. May delivery, which
sold at $1.66 bushel at the close on
Monday, dropped to S1.57s4. July de-
livery at 1.571a was off more than 13
cents from the high price Of Monday.
other deliveries.
The slump in pork, the price of
which commonly fuctuates with corn,
the principal hog feed, was almost as
sensational, amounting to $3.50 bar
rel. On Monday pork for delivery next
month sold at $53.35 a barrel.
Action which the Board Of Trade
officials and the Federal food director
initiated against the high cost of food
stuffs precipitated the crash. All
members OF the board had received in
their mail this morning notice to
report any open dcals-that is, uncom-
pletcd speculative transactions in
July and September corn of more than
100000 bushels. The implication of
this notice was that speculative oper-
ations tending to increase living costs
were about to be curbed ruthlessly.
This forced an avalanche Of selling
at the very opening of the market.

Financial and Commercial News

rector General and TO Mr.. Hines him
self.
Never have these figures been con-
teste; never have additional or con-
Trajectory data been presented; never
has the argument of the railroad ad-
ministration been addressed to those
figures nor to the conclusions drawn
from them by the board
My conclusion is that it is not so
much in the matter of price that he
(Hines) does not agree with me as it
is in the policy l have'stated. Indeed,
his apprehension concerning the course
of the board in approving prices based
on cost studies, rather than in calling
sellers and government buyers to-
gether and permitting the best posi-
BILE bargains by barter, confirms me in
this. The latter alternative overlooks
entirely the circumstances that prices
so forced to lower level would, as is
abundantly proved by the studies OF
the board, result in lowered labor
wages, or the diversion Of business to
a few powerful producers, or increased
prices to the public. My conclusion is
that if the policy Of scientific adjust
ment of prices is wrong, it ought to be
abandoned; if it is right, then all de-
partments Of the government ought to
support it.
1.-The board believes that any impress
sion upon the part of. any one as to
what constitutes fair price or reduc-
ton of prices at this time which is
not based on an investigation of costs
under existing conditions, with proper
consideration for all, is not valid; that
the lowest price obtainable under
stress at this time from the most eff
iicient is not fair measure of what
is right and is not in the interest
of the nation"
New-York tribune., 1919-04-30

Arrivals Of corn and hogs here from
the country further unsettled conf
dence of holders, and tended to restrict
buying, thus deprlvlng the market Of
support wnen the downward plunge OF
price gained momentum.
At this jupcture, when the market
was already in demoralized condition,
announcement was made that the gov
ernment would discontinue, until fur
ther announcement, purchases of wheat
for export excepting FIRST clears" and
victory mixed' flours, and if neces-
sary to allay the speculative fever for
high prices, would throw off all import
restrictions on foreign wheat and -four.
Immediately the demand for corn was
paralyzed. Violence of the breaks
reached peak just as the closing gong
ended the days trading.
Oats tumbled with corn, but not so
precipitately.
According to notice of the Federal
wheat director, the government will
undertake to resell from its current
stocks at such points as New York,
Baltimore and Philadelphia standard
-four at $11.50 a barrel, which had
been purchased for export, but which
the government would furnish to bona
fide users, such as bakers.

Steel Price Dispute
May Go to President
Chairman Peek Is Expected to
Insist That Wilson Judge
Bettueen Hin, and Hines
Ne,D York Tribune
IHnShin0tQn RureNM


Washington BureGu
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The posi-
tion taken by Chairman Peek, of the
Department of Commences Industrial
Board, in his address before the Cham
Der Of Commerce of the United States
in st. Louis, is taken here to mean that
Mr.. Peek will insist on President Will
sons judging between Mr.. Peek and
Director General Walker D. Hines, Of
the railway administration, in the
controversy over steel prices.
Yesterday Mr.. Hines telegraphed
from Denver a statement that he would
accept the offer of Chairman Peek to
make fresh effort to bring the rail
together, on the understanding that
thi seffort would not be governed by
what Mr.. Hines considers Mr.. Peek's
erroneous conception" Of the func-
tons Of the Industrial Board. In his
address to-day Mr.. Peek endeavored
to prove that his conception of the
boards functions is right and Mr..
Illness view is wrong.
At the Offices Of the Industrial Board
it was explained to-day that regardless
of his understanding of the board s
functions, Mr.. Peek, having regard for
the general industrial situation, is an
xious to get the railway administration
and the steel men together on prices,
and the present phase of the long
controversy was analyzed as follows:
l. he railway administration, though
out of sympathy with The In
dustral Boards views of the general
principle of price control and the spe-
cited steel prices, in particular ex-
pressed wish to have the board per-
suade the steel producers to accept GER
tain prices for steel rails, which the
railway administration has deter
mined upon.
2. The Industrial Board asked the
railway administration if it was pre-
pared to present any new data tending
to show that it's proposed prices were
justifable. The latter replied that it
was not. Whereupon the former took
the position that it could not ask the
steel men to name lower prices on the
mere say-so of the railway admins
tration. The latter then refused to
disclose the prices it had in mind.
3. Ultimately. the board offered to
try to bring the steel men and the rail-
way administration together, regard
less of its conception of fundamental
price policy; but the board in doing
so will simply act as a go-between. 1t
will make no egort to persuade the steel
men to meet the concession demand
cd by the railway administration.
