Chicago, March so.-Little interest

today. the trade being almost en-
tirely local. The feeling In the
early part Of the day was easy. with
considerable selling by locals on an
early bulge. These same sellers.
however. tried to buy back their
corn toward the close and found Q
paucity of offerings. This resulted
in a sharp rally and resting spots
for the day were &c to &c higher.
The tone of the news was also
featureless. The weather was more
favorable and field work delayed the
hauling Of corn from the farms. In

LONDON, June 9.-King George,
accompanied by Queen Mary and

palace, incidentally reopening the
famous glass structure at Sydenham
after six years war service The
Crystal palace is the original build
ing erected in Hyde Park for the IA
nous fair of 1851, and transferred to
it's present south London home some
years later. Since the outbreak Of
the, war, 1t has been used as train
ing depot for recruits, transport and
,motor-lorry depot, and a demobiliza-
tion center.
The Imperial War museum is to
be permanent, but this year it is
being run in coniun ction with the
great victory exhibition, a combina-
ton which taxes even the capacity of
the worlds largest exhibition build
ing. Every type Of war engine is on
view, from an automatic pistol to the
biggest howitzsr, from a trench dag
ger to tank. and many secrets of
Britain's resources in the war are
revealed. in part at least, TO the pub
lie for the first time.
There is an imposing display OF
captured German, Austrian. Turkish
and Bulgarian trophies. An important
feature of the Victory exhibition is
that devoted to oil exhibits, making
possible some appreciation of the
part played by oil in the long strug'

CHICAGO, June 9.-The labor,
league Of nations and Mexican issues
were before the resolutions commit
tee of the republican national conven-
tion today.
Before night, the committee was
expected to, decide on the form OF
these questions.
Actual work of drafting the planks
was delegated to subcommittee
while the full committee conducted
open hearings. Scores Of petitioners
besieged the rooms seeking to get
their views into the platform.
Samuel Gompers was due TO TESTIFY
today.
Both friends and foes of the league,
bitter enders and reservat tonis-s
claimed that the subcommittee. head
ed by Senator Watson of Indiana,
chairman of the full committee was
friendly to their view OF what the
treaty plank should say. Camps of
the bitter enders and Of the reserva a.
tionists made statements that the
question would be amicably compr-e
missed without resort to a fight on
the floor of the convention.
While the Borah-Johnson group Of
cilables appeared to be court
ing convention a floor fight they dis
claimed any such intention and stated
If a row started it would be started
by the other side. Senators Borah
and Mccormick irTeconcilables are
members of the subcommittee which
also includes Watson, Lodge sreser-
vationist; Ogden Mills of New YorIS,
a pro-Ieaguer; Smoot OF Utah, Il
Lodge reservationist; Colidge. Mass
achusetts, with leanings> towards
E'orah's view, and VIM. Allen White,
Kansas: VIM. Hepburn, Kentucky:
D. Lawrence, Virginia; Wollis Nc
Camant, Oregon; Governor Beck
man. Rhode Island. and Harris Gilpm
of Michigan. Classed as more or leSs
fervent reseryationists.
A report was heard, unverifed
from any reliable source, that a deal
had been made for the irreconcilables
to be given reasonable satisfaction
on the treaty plank in return for le1-
ting Lodge have the permanent chair
and Watson the resoluta onS
without fight. The Boran-
Johnson group denied being in any
deal and said they would upset any
coalition that planned to squelcn
them.
When the subcommittee met Boran
and his supporters were standing
firmly they said for a plank denounc-
ing the treaty and league covenant.
The reservationists were equally
firm in. demanding an Affirmative dec
laration with safeguarding Of Ameri
canizing reservations.
The labor question also arose to
vex the resolutions committee today.
Samuel Gompers, heading a delesa-
ton from the American Federation OF
Labor was to appear at public hear
ing before the full committee to de,
mand that the party go on record as
the doctrine that workers
have the right to strike and that no
public interest is higher than the
right of the mass Of the toilers to
