Cooks and Walters Hold
Enjoyable Evening

At the conclusion of their meeting
Monday night the Cooks, Walters
and Mattresses had a very enjoyable
supper and then cleared the floor for
dancing which was indulged in until
midnight. Secretary Johnston reports
that this will be a regular feature
of their meetings in the future so
the disappointed members who did
not attend last Monday should bear
this in mind. The Annual Dance of
the union will be held next Monday
at Eagles Hall. Dixon's Jazz Or
chestra will furnish the music and
everyone is assured of a good time.
Their organization is composed of
l7O members now since all the card
room workers and soft drink dis
pensers have joined and as the mem
bership is composed of an equal
number of women and men workers
they are in position to stage
some very interesting socials. Broth
er Tom Jackson put on one of his
famous Indian War Dances. Sister
Mildred Swanson was called on for
solo but claimed she ordered so
many club sandwiches at Weisers
that her voice was not in condition
to sing. The Union Cafe was we'll
represented; more than half of the
crew being in attendance. Sisters
Anna Drolet and Anna Hickey drew
their usual appointment on the in
vestigating committee, but as all the
good looking young fellows working
at The Pastime were up for initia-
tion the girls did not offer any pro-
test. The Good Eats Cafe opened
on Colby between California and
Hewitt with a full union crew and
started off with good business. The
Broadway Cafe on Broadway near
Hewitt lost their Union House Card
for violating their agreement with
the mattresses.

Aliens Flock to u. S.

Washington, Sept. 18.-Immigra-
ton is increasing by leaps and bounds
and government officials predict that
all pre-war records will be broken
during 1920. 1t is stated that the
rush is so great in New York that
immigration officials are swamped.
AS is usual the arrivals are seeking
the eastern industrial centers. Less
than 25 per cent of the August ar
rivals went far from the Atlantic
coast. This condition is increasing
housing perplexities in New York,
Philadelphia and other east coast

KNOCKING DOWN THE PRICE OF
WHEAT

WHEAT
The Washington correspondent of
The Spokesman Review telegraphs
that A. A. Elmore and A. D. Cross of
Spokane, president and secretary OF
the Farmers union of Washington;
w. l.. Beers of the Montana Farmers
union and others have sent protest
ing kilograms to the national cap
ital that through manipulation of the
Chicago board of trade and other
facing ruinous prices.
AS result of these and many other
protests a call has been issued for a
national meeting of producers at
Washington, D. c.. next Tuesday and
Wednesday. Charles A. lyman, secre-
tary of the national board of farmers
organizations, says the purpose of the
meeting is to demand that the gov
eminent take cognizance of specnla-
tors manipulations and unfair dis
ordinations for financing the orderly
marketing of farm products
COrroborating evidence that an in
ternational conspiracy is afoot to
knock down the price of wheat in this
country is found in this significant
and frank editorial in the Wall Street
Journal:
Perhaps the shrewdest campaign
ever conducted in the commodities
market is the one now being carried
on by the foreign purchasers of wheat
The market hears little of wheat be-
ing bought for shipment, yet the ex-
port figures are impressive in their
magnitude. A close and rapid mar
keting of the American surplus is to
be seen in these figures.
Since the new crop season opened
on July / more than 100,OOO,OOO bush
els of wheat have gone from North
American ports. Practically all this
was from the United States In the
same period last year 67,000,000 bush
els were exported. Some idea of the
foreign need may be gathered from
the fact that today the world visible |
supply is only one-half that of a year
ago. AS to the invisible supply, it is
probably less than year ago. Our
surplus on July was 100000, 900 |
bushels. Nearly one-half has already |
gone out. Perhaps 10000 900 bushels
more have been contracted for Novem-
10 Orrrs xyicih q
now one-third that of last year. A
rapid and close marketing of Ameri-
can wheat is obvious"
In other words, while the statistical
facts call for higher prices for wheat
than prevailed last year, the Ameri-
can market is far below last years
prices This is due, as the Wall
Street authority says, to "a rapid and
close marketing Of American wheat"
To what extent these manipulations
have been aided by the restricted cred
it policy of the secretary of the treas
ury and the federal reserve board
must be matter of speculation, but
the refusal of credit to
wheat growers, except for. marketing
has forced rapid market
ing of the crop and creased the skids
for the recent rapid slump in wheat !;
1t remains to be seen whether the
consumers will derive any substan-
tial benefit from this sacrifice that
is forced on the American wheat
growers. What is more likely to
transpire is a sharp upward move
