WHEAT OUTLOOK
IS BELOW NORMAL
Modern Miller Reports Prospects
Unfavorabie, With Possible
Exception of Michigan
MARKET FOR HOGS HIGHER

Chicago. Jan. 24.-John ]. Mitchell,
back from an eastern trip. says that
speculative sentiment in Wall street is
about evenly divided, but a quiet mar
ket is generally expected until the peace
treaty and railroad legislation are out
of the way. He adds:
There is little worry over high
money rates or low foreign exchange
rates, because they have become famil-
lar and will readjust themselves grad
ually. Low sterling suits England
pretty well just now under the circum-
stances. Business activity in the United
States is expected to continue two or
three years. Business generally is very
good. but the cost of operation has in
creased to such an extent that the ratio
of profits to gross turnover is not any
where near commensurate
The Modern Miller says:
with the possible exception of Mich
igan, where conditions are good. the
winter wheat promise is much below
normal. This includes condition as well
as acreage. Hessian fly infestaton re-
ports continue, and unless there are
heavy rains in early May damage from
these pests will be broadcast. Losses
from Hessian fly have been made this
winter in Oklahoma. Texas and south :
ern Kansas, and deterioration was suf =
fered in many states last fall before
winter set in. Some wheat was killed
by below zero weather and by alternate
freezing and thawing."

CHAPTER XNXNHi
In Which Jennie Awakcs

TNIIE days wore on. And silently the
i diverse elements of life which had
affected and were still to affect the
destiny of Jennie Malone. and the 'des-
TIMES of many other persons, went on
gathering intensity for one of those
supreme moments of energy which we.
with our trained sense for theatrical
ism. term climaXes, though the only
visible evidences of this activity were
the continued search for Jennie, the
proceedings for the annumcnt of her
marriage and now open though sub

summation.

of the many days that had gone before.
At last, when July had arrived there
came break in her solitude. Uncle
George, again looking very much the
kindly deacon. called upon her in her
room--a privilege which was gained
him in this semi nunnery by his cl.
derly years. his benevolent demcanor
and the understanding that Jennie was
his niece. After the maid was gone
and he had closed the door, he lost no
word in coming to his business.

STRIKEBREAKERS
And GUNMEN
Imported By Worthing
Pump and Machine Cor
pOratiOn, ElmwOOd,
Ohio

This is the eleventh week of the
machinists' strike in Cincinnati, Ohio,
and vicinity. From reports of that
city the machinists are making clean
fight and very little trouble has been
connected with the big strife.
The Worthing Pump and Machine
Corporation formerly known as the
Laidlaw- Dunn Gordon Pump Com
pany, of Elmwood, Ohio, imported
strike breakers and gunner to assist
them in breaking the strike. On last
Friday morning seventeen strike
breakers entered the factory and on
Friday afternoon thirty more entered
the place. These strike breakers
came from Chicago and Buffalo, and it
is said that they are wicked-looking
bunch of humanity. AS soon as the
strike breakers entered the shop the
strikers say that three of the foremen
who have been with the firm for years
quit their jobs and went home.
The strike breakers admit that they
know very little about the machine
business, and agree that they are only
there to assist in breaking the strike.
On Sunday the switching crew about
the plant also went on strike after the
strike breakers entered the place.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-07-16

1t is said that one of the foremen
asked one of the strike breakers to
throw on the feed on the machine he
was trying to run, and he politely in
formed the foreman that he was doing
enough work for the money he was
getting for being a strike breaker.
They say that these men get SO per
day and expenses for their work They
are herded together each night and
taken to place on Post Square,
where they are fed, housed and enter
tained.
The Snow-Holly plant in Buffalo, a
part of the Worthing Corporation,
has signed an agreement with the
Machinists' Union after the men have
been on strike for several weeks
About fifty machine shops in the Gin
cinnati district have signed up with
the machinists and are working full
capacity. About two-thirds of the
strikers have left the city or arc
working at some other business.

Battering Away at the Citadel of

The scope of the committees work
will be non-partisan, and it will seek
an amalgamation of forces with the
various liberal and progressive ele-

citadel of privilege. Every effort will
be put forth to stem the growing tides
of reaction that are rapidly sweeping
the nation from its moorings.
