SENATE PREPARING TO ACT QUICK TO

cottons Sugar and corn options broke violeHtly here and in Chicago and cereals and Fprovisions, including pork, also sui f@red sharp reactions. Significance was attached to the drop in the pork prices as marking the first pronounced break in high-prieed foodstuffs.
 The stock exchange showed improve ment on a sharp recovery of Liberty bonds and Victory notes
 A large part of today's liquidation in cotton and grains was attributed to the further scaling down of credits by bank ing institutions here and in other reserve centers, evidently in conformity with the request of the federal reserve board.
 In the local cotton market May con tracts broke almost 400 points, with equally sharp reactions in New Orleans. The Liverpool market also reported sub stantial reactions.
 Domestic and foreign metal markets quoted lower prices for spot and future deliveries, silver proving the only excep- tion at a slight rise in London. Little business was done here in copper for immediate delivery.
 Banks in the uptown or wholesale dry goods district reported additional loan contraction and most of the retail shops advertised cuts of 25 to 40 per cent In women's wearing apparel

MILLIONS OF BUSHELS
 OF GRAIN UNLOADED

Chicago, May N.-MilHOnS Of DuSneis of grain were flung suddenly on the market today by holders who had be- come unnerved. Prices quivered and
 then collapsed. The strain and it's vio- lent result was attributed mostly to sweeping changes announced in railroad operation and to nationwide tightening of credits Wreckage of values totaled 1315c a bushel on corn 6asc on oats and i$1.75 a barrel on pork. Tonight, owing to the tension created, every brokerage house in Chicago was calling for heavily increased margins on all open tradea and there was prospect of another strenuous
 day on the exchange tomorrow. Whether
 a reaction or a further drop in quotations was to be looked for, few authorities were willing to predict, but anxiety was evident that either contingency should be
 guarded against to an unusual degree. Rural owners took conspicuous part
 in the general selling rush that preclpi-
 tated today's smash in prices. It was said also that heavy pressure came from
 houses with Wall street connections. The outstanding certainty was that liquida- tion of magnitude had commenced ana was wholly unchecked when the session came to an end, with quotations at the lowest point reached and the trading pits a bedlam.
 Fear of glut of supplies at distribut- ing centerS had much to do with the eA- treme weakness 1.-the grain market and of the sympathetic action of provisions. In this connection, the belief was widely accepted that drastic order would be is- sued for the railroads to move grain on a priority basis. Another special bear ish influence was the continued attention given to the cutting of merchandise prices in department stores at distant cities, whereas little or no notice in the confusion was taken of the recovery today of Liberty Bonds

Chicago, May 21.-The federal railway labor board must consider seriously ths cost to the railroads of the wage in- creases demanded by the employees before rendering it's decision, E. T. Winter, chairman of the railroad executives com mittee, told the board today in continu- ing his presentation of the roads reply to demands the employees presented in recent hearings at Washington. MT. Winter explained that he was calling attention to this matter because of sug- gestions which he said had been made that the board disregard costs entirely in making its decision.
 He urged that the board consider seri- ously the mileage system of pay now in effect.
 The board was also urged by Mr. Winter not to grant increases on per- centage basis. He argued that this gave large increases to men with large sal- aries who did not need the money and sights the man with the small salary who did need it.

They are moved to do so perhaps by the fact that the republicans will have in Senator Wads- worth candidate for the senatorship, who voted against suffrage and whom the woman suffragists have marked for attack.
 With this trouble on their hands the New York republicans missed trick when they failed to put Women on the New York big four.
 But the New York republicans are skeptical about how much the aver age woman cares about sights to woman. suffrage or honors paid to women active in the woman suffrage movement. They say they will lose few women votes because of Wads worth's opposition to suffrage and that Murphy will gain few by naming two women among his big four.
 But Chairman Hays does not want to take any unnecessary chances.

CONVOY BOOSTS
 SHIP BY TRUCK Emphasizes Worth of Motor Vehicle In Its Role of
 Freighter

Emphasizing the worth and practicabil- ity of long distance freight hauls by mo- tor truck is one of the primary purposes for which the government has sent the motor transport corps convoy or huge trucks on it's coast-to-coast trip.
 In transportation circles the trip is held to be as significant and as historic an event in it's way as was the first trans atlantic flight. They see it illustrating the ultimate possibility of a revolution izing step in the development of trans portation. And they translate that ultl- mate possibility into dollars saved for producer and consumer. They see the freight totals of the world increased, the worlds markets grown fuller, and there by greater comfort, greater happiness Tor
