Tyler came down the steps slowly.
Blue uniforms were streaming past

and waited for the train that would
bring him to Chicago at about one
o'clock. The other boys, in little
groups, or in pairs. were smoking and
talking. Tyler wanted to join them,
but he did not. They seemed so suff1c-
lent unto themselves, with their plans,
and their glib knowledge of places,
and amusements. and girls.
Tyler found himself in the same car
with Moran. He edged over to a seat
near him, watching him narrowly.
Moran was not mingling with the other
boys. He kept aloof his seal blue eyes
gazing out at the fiat Illinois prairie.
All about him swept and eddied the
currents and counter-currents of talk

CONFERENCE

CHURCH CLOSED
YESTERDAY

The Jewish mission conference
closed yesterday afternoon with al
very impressive missionary service.
The general superintendent, Rev.
John Resnick, a Hebrew christian,
preached a powerful sermon. setting
forth the bright future hopes of the
Jews according to the prophecies.
and emphasized the sacred duty of
the christian church to bring them
to know and believe in the Christ as
the promised Messiah.
The mission offerings received at
the conference amounted to $104.25.
At the business session yesterday
forenoon much important business
was transacted. 1t was decided that
the Zion society, which for Al years
has carried on christian mission work
among the Jews independent of
church connections, as an indepen-
dent organization of Jewish mission
friends, should now transfer its mis-
sions and property to the Norwegian
Lutheran church of America. This
will place the Jewish mission upon
the missionary program of the
church alongside with home and for
eign missions and will insure II
greater support and sympathy than
heretofore. 1t remains to If the

PROF|7EERING
in COAL BOOST
MINERS DENOUNCE PRICE RAISE
AS MOVE TO PROFIT BY
PUBLIC FEAR

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 18.-That
movement to increase the price of
bituminous coal is the assertion made
in a statement issued from the inter-
national headquarters of the United
Mine Workere of America here.
'Since the call for a strike of
bituminous coal miners was issued
by Acting President j. l.. Lewis of
the United Mine Workers of America,
to become effective on November 1.
press reports show that there Is a
movement on foot throughout the
country to increase the price of coal
to consumers. The statemen treads:
"It has come to our notice that in
many places announcement is made
that the price of coal will be ad-
vanced one dollar ton this week.
1t will be well for the public to bear
in mind the fact that the strike does
not take place until November /, and
strike orders direct all soft coal min
ers to remain at work until that date
There will be no suspension of oper-
ations in soft coal mines before
November /. Therefore, we wish
the public to know that there is nc
reason why the price of coal should
be increased at this time. Any such
increase can only be viewed as plair
everyday profiteering on the part o.
those who raise the price and IT:
only purpose can be to put greater
profits In the pockets of those whs
profit from the advance"

BARNES AGAINST A
FUTURE WHEAT PRICE
WILL OPPOSE ANY ATTEMPT TO
GUARANTEE FIGURES FOR
NEXT YEARS CROP

Chicago, H., Oct. 18.-Julius II.
Barnes, United States wheat director,
gave public notice that he would op-
pose any attempt to extend to an
other crop the present government
policy of guaranteed price on
wheat. The announcement was made
at a dinner in his honor given by the
directors of the Chicago board of
trade.
Mr.. Barnes in his address said he
had reached definite convictions re-
garding the relation of the govern
ment to industry. He continued:
There has been too much tend
ency to confine discussion to the
division of profits in industry in
stead Of the healthy maintenance of
those profits. Too long there has
been held in high places the opinion
that the very showing of operating
profits betoken unfair gains at the
expense of others. When the sole
standard of honesty in business in
this country becomes the entire alb
sence of health profits, then, in
deed, will rascality and wide unem-
ployment walk hand in hand"
Mr.. Barnes spoke of the easy trade
supremacy secured by the United
were engaged in war making and not
in trade, and said there was every
evidence that change was fast APP
preaching.
1T is probable that not for many
years will the trade balance of the
United States show the $4,000, O,000,-
600 in its favor as this last year."
said Mr.. Barnes. 1T is more prob
able that we shall have increasing
difficulty in retaining the foreign
trade, without which our intense in
dustrial activity at home can hardly
be continued.
Six months ago we were greatly
disturbed about the reabsorption of
released soldiers into industry. That
has all been accomplished today by
the great American adaptiveness and
grea tAmerican public spirit, as
every agency facilitated this reab-
sorption. Perhaps six months from
now there may be different story
and 1t is important at this time OF
intense industrial production and
employment that those disputes and
readjustments which seem so diff
cult be handled without laying the
foundation for strife and bitterness
that may make more difficult the
possible readjustment of the future.
In concluding, Mr.. Barnes men.
toned briefly that he saw signs OF
an attempt to extend to another
wheat crop the government policy OF
a guaranteed price and that he would
| oppose any such attempt.

Proposes Repeal of
Wartime Prohibition

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 1S.-Re-
peal of wartime prohibition was pro-
posed in resolution introduced by
Representative John w. Rainey,
democrat, of Illinois, who announced
he would ask the house judiciary
committee to consider the measure
next Monday.
Before introducing the resolution,
Mr.. Rainey conferred with Attorney
General Palmer. who gave the opin-
ion that wartime prohibition could
not end until army rehabilitation
was completed and the peace treaty
had been ratified.
