by the national industrial traffic
league, representing many shippers
of the country today
W. H. Chandler, president OF the
league, said at yesterdays meeting
that changes were needed in the
transportation act and this was one
of the suggestions brought forward.
other changes suggested were that
in disputes where shippers were at
fected the shippers should be heard,
that no decisions should be rendered
by the labor board without consufta-
ton with the interstate commerce
commission; that wage and working
conditions should be treated by the
shippers and the national agreements
abrogated and that certificates of con-
venience and necessity be not required
where a railroad operates il. one state

The legislative committee of the
league, which drafted the proposed
changes in the transportation act, also

1T is in my opinion poor time for
any member of our union to advocate
or promote a division in our councils.

will require every atom or our

to maintain the solidarity OF our or

which, nreaten the perpetuity OF our

to consider before undertaking to
commit any act which will bring

told the convention that there were
unloyaI members in the state fedora

interests that are striving to weaken
and exterminate the labor movement,
to poison the minds of the member

unionists generally and the public
against the organization of district L.,

Walker presented a motion for a
campaign of publicity to combat these
alleged influences. Harrington took
up the discussion with the statement
that "A deliberate attempt is being
made to prejudice one district against
other districts in our union, and that
it is being done in orer that the poll
teal interests of the men who have
charge of the destinies of our interna-
tional union may be promoted"
Il am not a secessionist," he contin-
ued. But 1 don't know but what we
are going to be driven to that point
sooner or later. We are either to be
driven to it or else we have got to
bow to submission and concur in the
conduct of those who have shown that
they have absolutely no regard for the
laws of the organization.

(AdditionnI late markets VIII be
found on another page of this paper.)

Chicago, Nov. 0-WHEAT--Grain prices
had O downward tendency today in the
early part of the session, being affected by
the huge supply of old and new corn shown
in the government crop report. Continued
dry weather in the southwest failed to act
as an offset in the wheat market, altho
assertions were made that as a result of
drought 20 per cent of the Kansas wheat
acreage would be total failure On the
other hand. good buying was in evidence
on the decline. Opening quotations, which
ranged from Ac to 1sc lower with Deem
Der $1.05J5 to $1-05St and May 81 10Sz to
S111A, were followed by slight rallies
which, however, proved transient.
Subsequently, bearish sentiment increas-
ed owing more or less to general rains in
Australia together with advices that the
recent failure of an italian grain house at
Milan was q large one involving wheat
bought for December-J January shipment.
The close was unsettled, 1c to Ike net
lower, December $1.04ss to S1.O4% and May
s1.O9% to s1O95s
CORN-In the corn market gossip was
current that the country had sold freely
over night after opening sc to &c lower,
corn prices sagged little more and then
rallied somewhat
OATs-Oats started A@Kc to &c off,
and May 1880 to S71ac and apparently
was without much power to rally.
PROVISIONS-PrOvisi were easier In
line with grain.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKEr.

Wall St. New York Nov. 10.-STOCKS-
Further realizing sales among stocks which
featured yesterdays advance and short
covering IN some of the less conspicuous
industrial Nand specialties contributed to
the uneven course of the market during
the active forenoon. Mexican Petroleum ex-
tended its early rally but this was cancel
led under pressure. Standard Oil of New
Jersey was strongest of the domestic group,
rising ca poinxs. Minor steels and equip
ments, also coppers, motors and their ac-
cessories .Cere firm but the demand for
rails was checked by offerings of Great
Northern and Northern Pacific. Call money
opened and renewed into next week at 512
per cent.
Prices were mainly higher at the opening
of today's stock market altho profit taking
over the approaching holiday was looked
for. Mexican Petroleum, yesterdays out
standing feature, reacted a large fraction
at the outset but soon more than recovered
its loss Other foreign oils as well as the
prominent domestic issues were higher by
fractions to one point. Rails of the trans
continental and coal divisions also i'm
proved. American Car was among the
strong equipments with Baldwin Locomo-
tive.

WOMEN ELECTED HIM
Youngstown's New Mayor Pro-
missed Police Protection for
''SpoOning'' In City Parks.
fBr the Associnted Press

Youngstown, Ohio, Nov. "a man
who has lived in Youngstown only
three months and whose platform pro-
vided for discontinuance of street car
service, turning the streets over to
jitney buses and for falling any iciti-
zen who paid taxes under a recent
valuation, yesterday was elected mayor
over candidates backed by the major
party organization.
He is George L. Oles, who came in
from the country and established a
residence in a hotel and carried on an
eccentric advertising campaign with
out the support of any particular ele-
ment or organization.
Other "planks' in Oles's platform
included permitting "spooning" in city
parks under police protection, dismiss
ing the entire police force if it does
not mend its ways" and a promise to
turn over his salary to charity.
The women's vote is believed to have
been responsible for Oles' election.
