ter from George ". Herrck, resi-
dent correspondent at Albany who was
acting for a Walter Greene former
newspaper man, who was then secre~
tary to Hogue, then State Commits
sioner of Agriculture.
Herrick had written that Greene was
anxious to see his employer made the
head of the council of Farms and Mar
kets and requested Luther to see if
he could get O'Malleys vote Luther
testified he wrote to Grover Whalen.
head of the Department of Plant and
Structures, about it, and had no deal
ings whatever with O'Ma'ley. Two
months later he said he met OMalley
at the reporters outing and the latter
came up and introduced himself They
got to talking about the matter, said
Luther, but none of the offers alleged
by O'Malley were made
The hearing will be continued this
morning.

Murphy and Smith were like political
brothers at that time. Since then
Hearst has dictated the political policy
of Tammany Hall, and Alfred F
Smiths name is hardly mentioned in
Fourteenth Street. The denomination
of Hylan was forced by Hearst, and
the pressure which resulted in the
dropping of Judge Talley is attributed
to the same source. With the restora-
tion Of Judge Talley to the county
ticket and the visit of Murphy to Smith
at Sea Gate in the interest of har-
mony the rank and file in and around
the Wigwam are ready to believe that
Murphy has promised the former Gov
ernor that Tammany is through with
Hearst forever, provided the former
Governor turns in to help save the
city, county and borough tickets.

RAIL AND L WAGE ISSUES
UNSETTLE WHEAT PRICES

CHICAGO. July 2-Railroad and
elevator wage troubles have greatly
unsettled wheat prices this week.
and so. too, have first big offerings
from the 1921 harvest. Largely in
consequences, wheat values are down
/ Y to Sa compared with a week
ago. Corn finished the week at "a
on to u ADVANCE, with oats showing
losses Of X to IL az and provisions
varying from 10 setback to 80 ad-
vance.
Sharpest breaks in the wheat mar
ket took place when the fact becaue
evident that employees Of all Chicago
grain elevators would quit work and
that widespread tie-up of railroads
was possibly impending. Simultanc-
Gus pressure to dispose of new wheat,
from the winter crop belt added 10
the furry in the trade, especially as
bearish opinions regarding the gen
eral business outlook were receiving
considerable notice.
On the downward plunge in prices
exporters were prompt TO See an OPP
portunity 20 buy to advantage. and
then the marke: rebounded Drought
news from Russia and other Euro
pean countries attracted much atten-
tion at this juncture, and A good deal
was made also of abnormal crop CON
ditions in the domestic spring wheat
states. Rallies, however, were not
well maintained a : many bulls prefer
ed to realize on holdings rather than
to face uncertainties of the weather
and other factors until trading could
be resumed on next Tuesday.
Corn and oats dropped with wheat
and touched lowest prices yet TINS
season, but Were steadied later by
chances of crop damage.
Provisions averaged little higher
owing more or less to buying for Eu-'
rome.

Five thousand letters reach New York

cording to an announcement by the

only way to impress business firms with
the seriousness of the situation is to re-
turn the letters to senders for additional
postage.

sons yesterday afternoon, fifteen of
whom resigned The present force OF
the census bureau is about 2.4O0. Dur
ing the month Of June a reduction of
about $50 persons was made in the force
Of the census bureau.
Failure of Congress to appropriate
for several places in some bareaus of
the Interior Department has caused
small reduction In force, it was said
today. The total appropriation for
the department and its bureaus has
not been materially reduced over the
appropriation for the fiscal year
which ended Thursday.
AS the Interstate Commerce Com
mission came in for practically no
expansion during the war. there has
been no reduction in either appro-
priations or in the number of en-
ployes. except in the valuation divi-
sion. The work of the valuation di-
vision is rapidly being finished and
employees are being dropped as the
work progresses. The field work of
the valuation division is now COM
pleted.
The appropriation for the Depart
ment of Labor is about the same as
| that of the past fiscal year, except
that the money available for the con-
ciliation division has been reduced
from $155,000 to 100000. The divi-
sion of information of the bureau OF
| immigration has been abolished
thereby dropping twelve clerks. A
total reduction in force of about thir-
ty-five persons was effected during
June.

sharp recovery on the stock exchange
is not SO much the result Of any de-
velopments in the general situation as
it is the recoil from a state Of excess

favorable trade conditions in June.

the apparently eXuberant prosperity

the period of decentralization last De-
cemb"r. it has been proved that there
was nothing in the malicious trouble
rumors of d fortnight ago. No bank
has failed. no big institution has con-
teSsed embarrassment. no corporation
or consequence has gone into receiv-
er'S hands.

Resistance to Bad News.
The market during the last few days
mas shown increasing resistance to dis.
turoing news incidents. Steel shares
have advanced in the face Of continued
reports Of extreme Idullness in the stee

held their own despite further reductions

PARLIAMENT BACKS
POSITION ON LABOR
British House Approves Pol
icy on Conventions Adopted
by Conference Here.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 1.-The house of
commons today carried a government
motion. presented by Thomas J. Mac
Namara- approving the government
policy with regard to the conventions
adopted BY the Washington labor con-
ference. The vote was l64 to SO. Mr..
MacNamara said the government was
prepared to ratify four out of the six
conventions drawn up. principally
those relating to the eight-hour day
and maternity benefits. England. he
added. favored the eight-hour . day
convention. because it had an exist
ing arrangement based on voluntary
agreements between the employers
and the workmen. while. SO far as
concerned maternity matters, England
led the world.
Considerable Debate Develops.
Considerable debate developed over
the motion. J. Austen Chamberlain,
the government leader in the house.
declared that the Washington confer
ence. from which some of the great
est industrial nations were absent.
could not legislatc for the world
He added that the United States
was not bound by any of the con-
ference'S decisions
Lord Robert Cecil interrupted Mr..
Chamberlain to deny that the utility
OF the labor organization was de-
Stroyed by one country's absence.
No Desire to Wreck League.
Mr.. Chamberlain maintained that abb
sention by the United States present
ed an insuperable barrier to realization
OF the original ideals brought forward.
He repudiated any suggestion that
the government desired to wreck the
league of nations or render futile labor
organiZa tionS arising from it. The
government. he said. was not trying
to destroy surreptitiously the value
of it's signature.
Several speakers warmly criticised
Mr.. Chamberlain's statements, which.
they believed, would affect diSaS-
trously the whole internal situation.
Nothing, they asserted. could be
achieved without a complete agree
