CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Prospects Of the
Canada and Argentina during the next
few weeks did good deal to-day to
make the wheat market here average
lower. Prices closed unsettled at &c.

$1.14as to $1.14h. Corn finished &c.
to &c. off, with oats varying from lsa
l4c. lower to 1sc. gain. In provisions
the outcome ranged from &c. setback to
a rise of 10c.
Signs multiplied that Canada would
use all her endeavors to move as much
as possible OF her big wheat crop into
consumpuve channels before navigation
closes, ind it also was apparent that
Argentina was beginning Il strenuous
effort to And ap lace for her expected
huge surplus. Argentina was reported
as having sold new wheat to Italy within
the last few days at n level below cur
rent values in Canada and the United
States
With Liverpool quotations showing a
material drop and with domestic primary
receipts continuing heavy. the wheat
market here opened with a downward
tendency and at no time succeeded in
getting more than q small fraction
above yesterdays closing figures The
unexpected bearish showing Of the Gov
ernment report on the 1929 yield of corn
proved decided additional handicap tn
the bulls in wheat. Seaboard interests
were credited with doing considerable
buying of December and selling Of May
as the session drew to a close.
Aggressive selling Of corn took pace,
but the offerings were we'll absorbed,
largely by houses with Eastern con-
nections. Notwithstanding word Of heavy

was light.
Provisions were governed chiefly by

Fuel Problem of Nation Must Be
Solved"
Space will not permit reference to
the numerous remedies that have
been proposed. The methods I pro-
pose will, know, be criticized and
regarded as defective and impractical
by many.
However, the fuel problem of the
nation must be solved, and I am con-
WINGED that the miners, mine owners
and the American public are eager
for a permanent settlement and will
welcome any proposition that will
form the basis of a final solution of
the most important domestic question
confronting the United States. A de-
parture from the present system can
be no longer delayed without serious
ly affecting the welfare of the people
of the entire country and further i'm
perilling constituted government as it
now exists.
Abolish the conditions that are re-
sponsible for the use of the strike
as a weapon, and the miners, who are
the chief sufferers, will be more
pleased than the mine owners or the
public.
(The next installment Will set forth
a plan for efficient production and
distribution of coal, under govern
ment supervision, as advocated by
Mr.. Feehan.-Editor.)

of the mining industry, there will be
no assurance that you Will at all
times have an ample supply OF fuel
at any price The public should take
the lead. join with the miner and
mine owner, and demand protective
legislation that will insure an ade
quate supply of coal regularly, at re-
duced cost. Protect the mine work
er against starvation wages, unem-
pIoyment and extraordinary hazards,
and also protect the mine owners
who have their capital invested In
this industry.
Plans and Policies Previously
Advocated.
Some economists advocate unem-
ployment insurance, which would
guarantee payment of wages to mine
workers who were idle through no
fault of their own. This would have
been a fine arrangement for the min
ers during the past year, when they
were Idle about two-thrids of the
time. The added cost would make
the selling price of coal prom b1t1ve
and deprive a large portion of our
population of the home comfort they
now enjoy, as well as add materially
to the cost of manufactured products
and the cost of living.

gress commissions have investigated
strikes and warfare in the mining dis
tricts on several occasions in the past,
