PRICE IS MADE
Kansas Association Firm In
Claim Movement Will Prove
Success
[Associated Press Dispatch. ]

Kansas City, Mo-, October 81
Grain operators, market officials and
state boards of agriculture through
out the southwest were watching
closely today for the effects of a re-
puted strike" of wheat raisers, who,
1t was said, were refusing to ship
their products to terminal markets
until basic price of $500 bushel
for the wheat was realized.
The strike" called recently by the
National Wheat Growers Association
in a proclamation urging members
to withhold their wheat from market
until the $500 prices was obtained.
was declared by w. HI. McGreevy,
Wichita, Kansas, secretary Of the or
ganization, to be in full force. Mr..
McGreevy in his statement asserted
the association membership Of 10000
was unanimous in It's intention not
to sell and predicted that the desired
price would be realized within ninety
days.
Denial OF Strike.
J. G. Mohler of Topeka, Secretary
of the Kansas state board of agri-
culture, on the other hand was en-
phatic in asserting that there was no
such strike" in Kansas and his view
was being upheld by many grain men,
who asserted that reported falling
off in deliveries yesterday at some
terminal markets might be attributed
to several causes.
