lished in the Republican papers III

that "Peyton Parks has promised

in it, and for the purpose. of helping
Atkeson in his oft repeated race for

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Inc continued fight over the ratifica

sulting in rejection of the treaty fol
the second time. occupied the atten
ton of the United States senate during
the early months of 1920 and monop
olized the attention of the public, sc
far as congressional action was con
cerned. The Cummins-Esch bill, nm
der which the railroads of the country
operated after their return to private
control, and the army reorganization
bill were the principal pieces of legis-
lation enacted before the first regular
session of the S~ixty-sixth congress
ended June ).
On January 10. the mousse, by a vote
of 32S to 6. for the second time re-
fused to seat Victor Berger, Socialist,
who had been reelected to congress
from a Milwaukee district after he
had been once barred by the house
because of his alleged d~isloyalty dur
ing the war.
The Water Power Development bill.
which had long heen pending in CON
gress, was passed by the senate .Janu-
airy -. A similar bill had been adopt
ed by the house in July. 1919.
Another long congressional fight.
for the adoption of the Oil Land Leas-
ing bill. was ended when the confer
ence report was adopted by the house
on February 10 and the senate two
DAYS later.
The senate then turned its attention
to the peace treaty. The original
Lodge reservations were again adopt
ed. with some amendments. The
treaty, with the reservations. came to
a vote on March 10. and for the second
time failed to secure the requisite two
thirds majority. the vote being 40 to
30. The following day the rejected
treaty was sent back to the President.
With no prospect of the early adop-
ton of the treaty, resolutions declar-
ing the war at an end were introduced
in both the house and the senate. Both
houses adopted the Knox senate res
~olution. President Wilson vetoed this
resolution, however, on May 81.
A few days earlier. on MAY "A. Pres
ident Wilson asked the senate for au-
thority to accept the mandate for
Armenia that had been offered by the
supreme council. On June | the SEN
ate respectfully declined" to give the
president the authority requested.
On June 8, the house voted. 343 70

Lever act and the enemy trading act.

with several other important meas
res with the adjournment of con
gress. On the day before adjourn
ment, President Wilson vetoed the
'udget bill which had been passed by
10th houses.
Congress r~econvened on December 6
or the short session. President Will
son in his message, which was read
he following day, recommended that

cessful future is considered the most
important and practical of many
cures recommended. Nothing in the
way of federal control appears con-
templated but the functioning soon
of the corporation should prove of
great benefit particularly to the man
ufacturing and agriculture industries
in opening an immediate outlet for
surplus supplies, relieving strained
credits and paving the present clog
ged trade channels for the later re-
sumption of normal business under
private enterprise and the broad eco
nomic law of supply and demand.
Overseas demand for our surplus is

GRAIN
MARKET REVIEW
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. "a, 1920.

Minneapolis, Dec. "a, 1920.
During the fore part of the weel
extreme weakness of stocks occa
stoned by continued adverse fnan.
cial news caught our grain markets
in a waiting mood for new develop
ments, so that the general business
depression was again brought to the
front and grains were forced to
yield somewhat. There was neverthe-
less evidence of a stubborn DISPOSE
ton toward declines, resulting, on
doubt, from reports showing still no
great selling anxiety on the part of
producers.
1t is estimated that about 80 mil
lion of North American wheat has
been sold for export during the past
three weeks. At the rate of 10 mil
lion bushels weekly it might be ex-
pected that stock market news should
fall fiat in its effect on wheat. There
is certainly a basis for questioning
the sufficiency of U. S. supplies of
hard milling wheat.
Corn finally has met a strong de-
mand and receipts everywhere are
readily absorbed. Considering the
size of the crop the movement is
quite disappointing. Apparently sales
from first hands are forced through
necessity. Wherever possible grow
erers are reported to be holding for a
minimum of SOC per bushel.
Oats are still without export stimu-
1us or any other noticeable demand
except elevator interests where even
che carrying charge is unattractive.
Values are maintained on very light
and there is some investment buying
attracted by the low price and prob
ability of export demand.
Outside the grain markets the com
modify trend continues uneasy and
drifting downward. Industrial con
ditions are confusing. Reductions
have been sc drastic, however, that
there is now d very Wlde spread De
lief that the cheaper commodities
and grains more than discount strin-
gent credits and the rather dubious
business conditins prevailing and that
from now on any decided trend
should be in the way of an upward
reaction.

LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

Industrial unrest which manifested
itself during the period of reaction i'm.
mediately following the war. became
even more marked during the wear
1920. Radical activities were involved
in some of the labor disputes in this
country, but this was true to a much
larger extent in the labor troubles that
beset most of the countries of Europe
during the greater part of the year.
The hrst month of the year was
marked, in the United States, by the
abandonment of the steel workers
strike which had been begun on SEN
TENDER %.
Railroad traffic was tied IN in
France, February q, by a general
strike of rail workers. The premier
called all the strikers into the army,
and two days later the strike was set
tied by a compromise.
Peace was declared between the
bituminous coal operators and miners
March 81, when they signed a two
year agreement based on an award
made by the coal commission named
by President Wilson.
An OUTLAW" strike of railroad
switchmen began in Chicago April 10.
and spread rapidly to other parts of
the country. Federal officers arrested
80 leaders of the strike In Chica,o.
April 10. on charges of interfering with
the malls and violation of the Lever
act On April 10 the joint railroad
wage board created by the Cummins-
Esch bill, announced that II would not
hear cases Of men who were OH strike.
A new coal strike was i~naugursied
ia Illinois a Kansas April .,
