Grain STRIKE
SEEMS TO FAIL
Talk Of Farmers Holding Wheat
Observation-Disclosures Not
Affected.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct 3S.-fUnft-
ed Press)-General tendency among
grain men here today is to disre-
gard the talk Of farmers holding
wheat although much continued to
be said about the grain growers

duced receipts in the near future.
Wheat receipts here showed no
signs OF dropping on and grain
men reported country acceptances
as liberal as usual.
Grain men here did not believe
the movement to hold for 50 wheat
would grow to any great proper
tions, pointing out that most farm
ers will sell part Of their crop to
meet their financial obligation.
Meantime the board OF trade
transportation reported the car sup

Socialist Secretary Issues State
ment About Alleged Riot at
Hoop Gathering.

Chicago, Oct 2S.-William F.
Kruse, state secretary of the So
cialist party of Illinois, today Is
sued a statement concerning alleg=
ed riots q sthe Socialist meetings
at Dixon. ILL.,. As reported In dis
patch from Dixon on Oct. Is.
The Dixon story said that George
koop, Socialist candidate for lieu
tenant governor, had been ,hooted
and prevented from speaking at
Dixon the night before by a crowd
OF 300 persons and that he had
been pushed down q basement
stairway. Mr.. Kruse's statement
follows:
This meeting WAS the result OF
a controversy with the mayor over
the right of the Socialist party to
hold meetings in the streets and
parks of Dixon. On Oct. 10, Mr.. !.
koop was arrested for attempting
to speak. On Oct. 16 the mayors
case was twice thrown out Of the
courts of Dixon, and he announc-
ed himself as through with such
interference. On the same day a
meeting was held in the park with
out any interference.
"Heckle" Speaker.
Another meeting was announced
for Sunday. Oct. "a. 1t began al

was not the slightest trouble; an
audience Of 400 people listened at.
tentively to the speaker. About II
o'clock about thirty young boys
about II or IS years old. led by
elder hecklers began to try tc
shout down the speaker. The crowd
was absolutely set against them
and the speaker had to use all his
influence to keep the crowd from
taking the boys into their owr
hands.
"They then retreated to an oppo.

Industry in America must either
be autocratic or democratic. At the
present time We see 1t growing
more and more autocratic. The
Farmer-Labor party demands that
it be democratic.
In accomplishing the democrati-
zation of industry our process or
method is to give the workers, arti-
sans and technicians an increasing
share in the responsibilities and
management Of industry, this to be
done, or this principle to be devel-
oped, in the light Of actual expert
ence in operation. This principle
and purpose is set forward in the
platform on which the Farmer
Labor party entered the presen,
campaign. We have not been able
to get either Senator Harding OF
Governor Cox to lisp a single word
or statement on this fundamental
issue. They have marched forward
with their shadow boxing contest
over the League Of Nations.
