Every once in a while one of those
fre-eating senators or congressman
from southern states flares up with
some tomfoolery that tends to set the
people of the nation to seeing red.
A case in point is that Of Sen. Tom
Watson, Of Georgia. He broke loose
in the senate recently with a bunch
of disreputable charges against Off
GERS and nurses of the American for
ces in France. He charged that men
were hung without trial, and enlisted
men shot down in cold blood by their
officers. An investigation was at once
demanded. 1t developed that just ell
even men were executed in the Amer
lean expeditionary forces, nearly all
for crimes against women. Every
one of the eleven was sentenced in a
regular manner by courtsmartial, and
the findings reviewed by the com:
manding general. Many others SEN
fenced to death had their sentences
revoked or committed.
As to men being shot by their Off
GERS, that is a hard matter to deter
mine. It is no doubt probable that
there were cases of men being shot
down by their officers in battle, and
there were no doubt cases where men
sent officers to their death under the
same conditions. Such were of course
isolated cases, and happen in all ar
mics and all wars. They were infre-
quent, and certainly not matters for
which any blame could attach to the
American forces as such. Battle con-
'ditions are by no means similar to
the average debating society, and
conditions do arise that demand
prompt and summary action.
The investigation to date has
brought out nothing to substantiate
Watson's wild statements. On the
other hand, Watson's attitude before
the investigating committee has been
most reprehensible. He made dis
reputable attack upon an army officer
summoned before the committee, his
explanation being that the ''officer had
insulted him by the manner in which
he looked at Watson" The officer
maintained a dignified silence in the
face Of Watson's buffonry.
A fine sample of Watson's evidence
comes to light right here in North
Dakota. The telegraph report Of the
hearing brought to the Fargo Forum
a report that one Jones from Devils

An attempt will be made to see
whether or not the claims of the Da-
kota Central as to the valuation of
their local exchange is correct or
not. They have petitioned for con-
siderable increase in phone rent, and
claim that they will only then have
an approximate income of some $500
net. If their claim is true, they can
no doubt make their new rate stick.
But, even though they make the rate
stick, it is doubtful if they can make
anything like their present number Of
subscribers stick.

The Irish Free State is the name
of the new British dominion of Ire
land. Ireland is to have the same
status as Canada, Australia, and 9th

of entire control of taxation. Ireland
is to assume it's share of the British
war debt. Ulster is given month
to enter the new state, or remain un-

Advance i'm Wheat
On Crop Reports
And Better Buying
Offerings Readily Absorbed
and Purchases for Sea-
board Send Prices Up;
Corn Scores Small Gain

CHICAGO, May 18.-Decided up
turns in the price of wheat resulted
to-day from unfavorable crop reports
and from more active export demand.
The market closed strong, &c to lac
net higher, with May $1.4S1 -2 to
sl.4s 3D. and July s1.1s Id to $1.18 1-2.
Corn gained 1-2c to 1c, oats 1-2c to
3"4c, and provisions &c to SIC.
1t was only at the start that wheat
showed any. tendency toward a setback
Forecasts OF lower wages FOR railroad en-
ployes counted at first as a bearsh infiu-
ence, the prevailing opinion being that the
expected wage cut might be taken to indi-
cate a downward movement of costs in
general. Offerings OF wheat, however
were quickly absorbed and the market
moved upward fast, irnpelled TO n great
extent by adyices that the crop In Ne
braska and the Southwest was in a some
what precarious position, with much de-
pending on weather during the next week
In addition. about one million bushels of
cash grain were said to have been taken
for export, with some foreign business in
the new crop said also to have been put
through. Closing quotations were at the
topmost level of the day.
Active shipping demand for corn helped
to lift the market for corn and oats
Country offerings OF corn were somewhat
larger. but mostly above the market
Provisions went higher IN sympathy with
grain and hogs.

The cotton market made steady

was accompanied by reports Of an
easier spot basis in Texas. This proved
too much for the market and prices

to 12.7sc, closing at that figure. The

considered responsible for most OF the
local buying. This was checked by the
more favorable showing Of the days map

liquidation by early buyers but the feature
on the decline was tho New Orleans SELL

OF spot cotton from Texas.
An early factor was reported OF n
broadening demand for cotton yarns and
an increased business in print cloths at
Fall River but broadly speaking the early

Dull Summer Forecast
I'm the Steel Industry

"The prospect of quietness in the
summer months is more influential in
the steel market" says this weeks
summary of the industry by The Iron
Age. Producers are now quite unani-
nous in seeing only few weeks ahead
a slackening in the activities of auto
mobile works which have been the chief
basis of hope recently. The Ford COM
pany's buying has been 8 stimulus to
sheet mill and some other lines, but
that has subsidized, and there are indi
cations Of g marked reduction in or
erations at the Detroit plant next
month.
Steel works are running at 80 to 35
per cent Of capacity, on the average,
and some important companies nut the
amount OF new business at about one
third normal bookage. The Steel Cor
poration, which had poor average of
new business in March and April, par
ticularly in March, when its price re-
auctions were impending. has found it's
orders since May / running nearly 80
per cent more than the average for the
two preceding months. This is better
than most independent companies are
doing, and Is due In part TO. current ex-
pert business.
The railroads are even less disposed
than they were earlier in the year to
receive deliveries On orders placed with
steel mills. Five important Western
lines have laid no rails this year, de-
spite the fact that good many of their
1871 rails have been delivered. One
line has had 10000 tons delivered,
which 1t has put In storage"

Rail Labor Board
Decision Tends to
Help, Say Chiefs
Effect in Saving ON Opera
ton Uncertain Because of
Delay i'm Other Cases;
Await Action ON Rates

In the absence Of definite forecast
by the Railroad Labor Board regarding
the amount Of the reductions in wages
that will go into effect on July for
common labor on the railroads execu-
tives were disinclined yesterday to haz-
ard any estimates Of the savings which
would result. There was a feeling of
relief. however, that the Labor Board
had found wage cuts necessary.
Commenting on the announcement of
new occupational classifcations of ali
railroad labor, to be used as a basis for
the settlement of future disputes, stu
dents of railroad affairs stated that
this should be distinguished from the
national agreements, which are to be
abrogated entirely. The new classifca-
tions were worked out jointly by the
Labor Board, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the railway executives,
and are TO be placed in operation after
conferences between the individual
roads and their employees.
Reductions in the pay of common
labor will result in material benefits to
the carrier companies, provided the
cuts are not Offset immediately by the
lowering of freight rates. I his was the
consensus of railroad opinion in the
financial district. Should the wage re-
duction eliminate the last $500, O0O, 900
wage advance it was calculated that
this. with other economics effected by
laying Off workers, would result in an
annual saving of $700,000,O00 annually.
Since the period of drastic railroad re-
trenchment began approximately 100000
jobs have been abolished
Railroad men are hoping that the
wage cut to be announced by the Labor
Board will be 20 per cent, but in other
quarters q figure of Is per cent was
mentioned. The latter figure, it was
estimated, would result in saving of
from $10,000000 to $20,o0o,o00 month.
The last increase was announced on
July /, 1920, retroactive to May /, and
amounted to about q per cent, or
$600,000000.
A 20 per cent reduction would be in
line with the action taken by the indi-
vldual roads several months ago, when
they announced that they could no
longer operate under the present wage
scale. The workers appealed to the
Labor Board, which decided that the
roads could not make summary reduc-
tions, but must first hold conferences
with their men, and if no agreement
was reached then submit their case to
the board.
Discussing further the question of
freight rate reductions, railroad execu-
tives said that before they should be
made effective operating expenses
should be cut at least $1,000,o00,000 a
year under the existing level.
1t is the opinion of practical operat-
ing men in New York that the decision
to reduce common labor will cause
considerable improvement in the pro-
ductivity of other classes of employees.
