Medium Grade Wool
In Better Demand
La Boston Market
spsc.al Dispatch to The Tribune

+ BOSTON, Dec 1O.-Strong demand
for medium grades of wool has been
prominent feature of the wool mar
ket for the last week. The call has
ranged from woods Of quarter bio cd
grade to those of half-blood quality,
particularly, the leatetr. Like fine
wools, however, half-blood grades are
scarce, ard so the trade is obliged to
resort to the three-eighths-b blood woods
to great extent. Owing also to the
scarcity of half-bloods, fair sized lots
changed hands three and four times in
one day. This exceeds the frequency
of transactions in the same lots of
wool reported the previous week. One
of the sales of medium grades of wool
consisted of 900 bales of Punta Arenas,
g South American wool, totaling APP
pr roximately 900 600 pounds.
The quarter-bl lood and three-e ghths-
blood woods are understood to have
been bought for knitting and weaving
purposes. In spite of the activity in
the raw vol market, some of which is
speculation, there is vast difference
in the amount of operation among the
mills. A we'll known wool dealer re-
ports: You go to one spinner and he
says that there is nothing to do and
ne is ready to close down. Then you
go to another who is spinning the same
kind of yarn and he says that ne is
booked ahead for two or three months" +"
With all these irregularities, however,
the fact remains that spinners have
been willing and even anxious to cover
on their forward requirements in tops,
the long. combed out fibres, at con-
siderably advanced prices.
Bullish conditions in the wool mar
ket have led to overtures for the pur-
chase of wool on the sleeps back in
the West. 1t is reported that 20 cents
a pound has been offered for certain
clips in Utah but that the wool inter
ests there refuse to consider that
figure. The conservative element in
the trade does not encourage such
movement, but it is stated, On tre
other hand, that actual buying of wool
before il is shorn may begin at any
time. Much of this scramble for wool
has arisen from the assumption that
the emergency tariff will remain in
force for protracted period. The
trade, however, is hoping that the por-
tion of President Harding's message
referring TO the tariff will stimulate
action on the part of Congress-, so
that definite, reasonable rate of duty
on raw wool will be established This
would clarity the situation, tend toward
an equitable balance on wool, tops,
yarn and pieces, allow the manufac-
turers to formulate their plans and
prevent the growers from profitecring.

Wheat Depressed

Tone i'm Canada
Evening of Accounts for
Over Weekend Principal
Activity in Quiet Market;
Corn Closes With Losses

CHICAGO, Dec. 1o.--There was little
real character to the wheat market
to-day, and operations were largely in
the form of evening up for over the
weekend. On the whole the under
tone was easier and final quotations
were "a al 1sc net lower.
There WAS Il good deal Of selling by
those who had bought or Friday and VINO
were disappointed by the action of the Lfy-
erpoo market which failed TO follow yes
terday's upturn. Moreover the rumors that
Germany had been granted a moratorium,
which had been one of the strong features
on Friday afternoon. were not confirmed.
and there little real news in the mar
ket to inspire active buying.
There rumors from the West OF
large sales of Manitoba wheat to Lie
United Kingdom and the Orient, but they
not confirmed here, and the heavy
appearance of the Winnipeg market where
cash premiums were somev hat easier, was
considered poor evidence Of any large
business.
It was thought that some fair sales had
been made TO Europe. but there have been
recently so much intsrchanging of wheat
between exporters and cash handlers. in
cldent with the closing of navigation on the
lakes, that they have been confused with
actual export gales.
The corn market was also easier, closing
with nc. losses of ~ to NC. Receipts at
primary points for the week showed gains
of $500 900 bushels and the fact that
farmers were selling their corn served to
offset bulish theories on the market and
also further talk OF export needs.

CLAIM VICTORY
Decision to Abrogate Wage
Agreement Hailed as Favor
able by Labor and Roads.

CHICAGO, April 15.-Railways
and railway employees each were
claiming victory today in the de-
clsion handed down by the United
States Railway Labor Board late yes
terday in which abrogation of exist
ing national agreements regulating
working conditions on American rail-
roads on July l was ordered.
LABOR SEES FREEDOM.
The railways asserted that the de-
clsion recognized the Inequalities in
the present agreement. which the
roads all along have contended i'm
posed burden upon them. They call
ed the decision substantial step to-
ward relief of the present situation"
union leaders contended that the
decision was in their favor in that the
labor board announced il will pro-
mulgate reasonable rules after July
j, which will include groups of work
ers not included in the present agree
ments. They were pleased also over
that provision OF the decision which
permits the workers to choose their
own representatives for conferences
to be held with no hindrance in selec-
ton of officials of the national
unions
The decision of the board is that
the present agreements shall not ex-
tend beyond July I, but that in the
interim the separate railroads and
their employees shall confer and
agree among themselves upon such
rules az they can agree upon.
The board will be informed of the
various agreements and disagree
ments resulting from these confer
a,I
July |, will promulgate such rules as
1t determines just and reasonable"
Whatever the new rules are, they
will be effective as of July l. 1921.
In promulgating it's decision, the
board reviewed the claims OF the con-
tending parties and found merit in
the arguments of each side. Certain
rules, the board declared. "are unduly
to the carriers and should
IN justice be modified" Other rules,
Il was said, might well be modified in

|V|v|AN| FAILS
||NU.S. MISSION
frenchman Has Practically
Lost Three Points He Came
Here to Gain.

This weeks events in Washington
led inevitably to the conclusion today
that the mission of Rene Viviani,
Frances special envoy TO the United
States has been well nigh complete
failure. b
vIvIANrs THREE AIMS.
NJ. viviani came to the United
| States ostensibly to 'pay Frances
respects" to the new administration.
What he really came for was out
I lined in the series of private discus
sions which he held with officials
OF the new admi nistration and in
fuential members of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee.
His mission as thus outlined en-
braced three objectives:
/. To persuade the United tSstea
IL possible. TO enter the League
of Nations.
2 To prevent the passage of the
Knox resolution declaring an end
to the state of war between the
United States and Germany.
3. To obtain the support of the
United States in forcing upon Ger
many the reparations settlement
agreed upon by the allied premiers
in Paris and London.
President Harding neatly disposed
of the first two propositions in his
message to Congress on Tuesday. He
Informed NJ. Viviani and the world
that the United States can never be-
come a member of the existiEs
League of Nations, and he advised
the passage of the Knox resolution
without that famous section FIVE,
which was the only thing which made
it palatable to the French. That sec
ton Ave would have put the Unitei
States on record as concerning Itself
with future European quarrels. which
was exactly what France desired.
OBJECT PART FAILURE.
The third object of NJ Niyiani's
MISUNDERSTANDING support in the
reparations--ha been a partial fail
ure. The eX-premier frankly wanted
the Administration to come out and
flatly indorse the reparations settled
upon by the allied premiers, which
would make Germany pay indemn-
ties of approximately s55,0O0.0 100000
and 121a per cent tax on her en-
ports.

LABOR CRISIS
Organized Workers See WaIkout
Ahead When Present Agree

BY MILDRED NORRIS.
International News Service.


There is tense anxiety in official
labor circles today.
A railroad strike is foreseen as
result of the decision of the
United States Railroad Labor
Board abrogating the present ma
tional agreements held by the
100000 railroad workers affil-
lated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor and directing nego-
tiations to be carried between each

ployes.
STRIKE ~ FEARED.
The attitude of the railroad COM
panles makes strike unavoidable.
IN the privately expressed opinion of
labor leaders, and fear is expressed
that the boards decision will bring
TO head the war that has been rag
ing more fercely than ever between
capital and labor. creating for or
sanized labor the greatest crisis in
its history.
The air around the headquarters OF
the American Federation of Labor
ana the building OF the International
Machlnlsts Association, across The
way. is filled with gloomy talk, and
some leaders even declare the indus
