my opinion that the people are ep-
posed to it," stated Rev. Mr.. Shut

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Ill, July 1s.-Acute
weakness has developed at times in
the corn market this week chiefly
on account OF record-breaking &C.
ciineS in foreign exchange and as
a result Of disturbed labor condi-
lions. Compared with q week ago,
corn prices this morning ranged
from sac net decline to &c net adj
vance; oats were up 1 y to &c. and
provisions varying from unchanged
figures TO S1.32 down.
Although trading bFoadsned
speculative demand followed, FaEs-
and notwithstanding the buIIIsh
sentiment was temporarily by q
scare about possible crop damage
from dry hot weather, tbs smash
In sterling rates became IatsF more
and more of a eliminating factor in
the corn trade, DemoPaIizati0n of
sterling was found to bs intsFreF-
ing greatly With new export BUSH
ness in all fosdstHffs, and this esn=
dition was intensified by the marine
workers strike, while efheF indus
trial clashes widsaed, Rad tlAs
strength Of even rural bulls apRaaR=

Owing to adverse crop reports,

Chicago, July 19.-Locals except
in bulges sales in corn and oats
until the foreign exchange situa-
ton is fixed and labor questions
cleaned up. New York reports
show that the fixing up Of foreign
exchange will occupy several days.
There are 10000 men on strike at
the Chicago stockyards and all
kinds of other strikes. Question
OF labor strikes spreading Is the
main feature. The labor attitude
is blamed on prohteering and un-
bending cost advances. The stock
yards situation suggests hog con-
gestion and lower hog and cattle
prices. France continues her row
about high food prices. The east
was a good buyer of oats on the
break. New York quotes Julius
Barnes as depicting the U. S. wheat
crop a great disappointment and
surplus may not be large enough.
This look ridiculous as at the
lowest guests North America will
raise over half a million wheat sur
plus. II corn and oats are lower
in first hour general buying will
be due.
Grain opened weak on presence
Of rains in northwest and in Can
ada. failure of hot wave and labor
troubles.
Locals bought oats on the break.
Broomhall's news on oats and corn
is friendly to purchases. Domestic
labor news suggests bulge sales.
Congress will investigate charges
that big packers are conducting a
nation wide propaganda directed
against the pending Kenyon bill
to regulate them.

DAYLIGHT LAW.
REPEAL FAILS
Provision to Cancel Time Saving
Act is Eliminated From
Agricultural Bill.

Washington. d. c.. July is.-Re-
newed attempts of house Republi-
can leaders to repeal daylight say
ing through a rider to the 1920 ag-
ricuitural appropriation bill were
defeated In the house late yester-
day when Republican opponents of
the repeal Joined the Democrats In
voting to eliminate the repeal pro-
vision. Immediately afterward,
without a dissenting vote, the ag-
rieultural bill. carrying $50, 200, 900,
was passed and sent to the senate.
Final action on the repeal came
after a day marked by sharp poll
teal clashes in house and in com
mittees. Democrats. Including those
favortng repeal, refused to join in
making the repeal rider in order
and attacked the Republicans as
playing politics."
Flnal Vote e09 to III,
Republican leaders insisted the
rider would assure early passage
OF the agricultural bill, which Dem
0erats said was certain to be Veto
ed again by President Wilson if it
included the repeal provision,
Opponents to inserting the re-
peal provision gained strength with
each vote in the house, the final ae-
ten being by 203 to III. This fol-
lowed two tentative votes which
favored the elimination of the rider
IA to 125 and 1855 to 1913, A few
Democrats voted with the majority
Republicans in opposing the elm
inatiea, but their votes were more
than offset by Republican MEM
bers.
The senate, regarded as heavily
Ia faveF OF repeal, nov has before
it a house bin to repeal the day
light saving Law.
Senate HAY Pass Repeal.
Fhe senate, It was said by cen
gressiaaaj leaders, may pass and
send 70 the president the separate
SBReai measure.
Before the repeal came up two
standing eemmittees-agric
end Euies-e1asideFed the provision
but Democratic committeemen OF
each DECLINED to recommend pas

idea Is for representatives of all

men can do the Job in few days If
the proper effort is made"
Firemen Go Out.
Every engineer and his assistant
in the Chicago fire department
walked out at o'clock this morn
ing In accordance with a decision
reached yesterday after the city
had declined to meet the demands
Of the men for higher wages. Two
hundred and fifty Of the city en-
ployes were affected by the walk
out.
All the men who left their posts
rendered their designations to their
superior officers before walking
out. The fire tugs stationed in the
river are not affected.
10000 Quit at Stockyards.
Dislike for policemen Is given as
the reason that 10000 workers in
the stockyards are out on strike
today. The men declare they will
not return to work until the on
GERS are withdrawn. The men were
employed in the plants Of Wilson
& Co., Hammond company, Boyd.
Lunham & Co., Roberts & Cakes,
Swift, Morris, and Armour.
Several unsuccessful efforts were
made by the packers to settle the
strike during the day. and It was
stated that the attempts would be
renewed Monday.
The trouble is said to have start
ed at Wilson & Co.'S plant last
week over the discharge of q work
man and the strike spread to other
firms through sympathetic walk
outs.

The employees of Chicago's trans
