FARM PRICES ARE ABOUT
TO FALL, SAYS BARNES

Washington, Dec. IA drop of
approximately $3.50 a. barrel on pure
white -four is promised by the Unit
ed States Wheat Administration, to
become effective within from three
to four weeks in practically every
county in the country. This promise
was made by wheat director, Julius
H. Barnes, who declared that there
was no prospective shortage of flour
and indicated that the report that
there would be shortage and that
flour prices would go higher was a
DOGGY being used by ambitious -four
salesmen.s According to the Govern
ment wheat director flour is being
produced in more than ample guam
titles at this time and the market
gives promise of meeting all de-
mands during the winter and spring.
The prices now promised, and to
become effective as soon as distribu-
ton can be acco NJ !;shed VIII bring
the price of pure, straight -four"
made of the fenest wheat down to
rs cents for 1917 pound sacks, or
sixteenths as they are known, with
eighths of 2412 pound sacks at dou-
bic that price. Prices in the mark
ct on straight grades of flour are
80 cents for the smaller sacks, and
$3.50 for the larger, showing pro-
missed reduction of 20 per cent to
the consumer.
" Leaving the -four costs in the
hands of the consumer the Govern
ment Director of Wheat said this
"puts the solution of one phase of
the cost of living up to the consumer
by making it possible for the pur-.
chaser of flour to decide himself
whether he will continue to pay fan
cy prices for special brands, or BUY
at a lower prices straight flour made
from the finest wheat"
Referring to the threat of higher
prices Director Barnes said: THE
facts are the stocks of flour are
very large and production very large |
Therefore, the wheat director has
determined to place in the hand.
he retail trade, in large cities par
icularly, supply of flour from the
stocks of the Government
rain corporation at nominal prices"
The new prices are looked for
yard to here with considerable hope
'hen it is recalled that they will
ring pure flour down 70 a point
here it will be at least within reach
f the prices that obtained several
ears ago, instead of continuing at
lore than 100 per cent over those of
DIG.

But those who composed the mob

heat up the steps and through the

Wants Further Data on
Strike.

Washington, Oct. 1l.-Intcrcst in
organized labor's effort to obtain in
tervention by the industrial confer
cnce in the steel strike shifted today
to New York and steel centers, where
members of the Steering committee
are endeavoring to secure sufficient
concessions from the steel corpora
tions to enable the committee to
agree upon a report to lay before
the conference Tuesday.
Committeeman pointed out that
conference action would be useless ur-
less the United States Steel corpora
ton was willing to accept mediation
by the conference and agree to rein

of the adjudication committee, pro-
poser by Mr.. Gompers.
E. H. Gary returned to New York

with the board of directors Of the
steel corporation, Of which he is
chairman.
Senator Calder, republican of New
York, in the senate today demanded
that the industrial conference make
the interests Of the public its para
mount consideration, and denounced
the prostitution" by organized labor
of collective bargaining cas- a
weapon for ultimate domination of
wages, of profits, of political action
and of social conventions"
He said that "the inevitable logic
of nation-unionism is an inner gov
eminent more powerful than the out
err or constitutional government"
Lawrence F. Sherman, executive
secretary of the league for industrial
rights, today made public proposals
which the league has sent to Secre-
tary Lane, chairman of the confer
ence, to submit. The conference has
decided that proposals of this nature,
from outside agencies, will be furnish
ed each of the three groups, which
are at liberty to bring them up for
discussion in the regular way.
One of the bills proposed by the
league would make unincorporated
associations, whether of employers or
workmen, sueable. Another would
make it unlawful for any person or
corporation to Support any strike,
lockout or other kind of Industrial
warfare" before the parties involved
have had time to act upon the terms
demanded. The third would make it
disdemeanor for policemen or fire
men to affiliate with any labor union
not composed exclusively of fellow
employees. 49,.

"No nurses waited on them, no
