100000 Rail Men
Will Take Strike Vote


Railroad wages under the new
railroad labor board orders for seven
of the larger groups of the country's
rail workers soon will be at a level
which does not measure up to the
American standard of living and
which will make vigorous protest
necessary, according to B. M. Jew
ell, head of the railway employees
department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor,
In less than two hours time heads
of eleven railroad unions arrived at
an understanding whereby each or
ganization will take a strike vote
Immediately on issuance of wage
reduction orders from the labor
board for its membership. The votes
will be returnable in 80 days and the
strike vote for the six shop crafts,
sent out by President JEWELS or
ders, will be in his Office in Chicago
by June go.
The strike votes decided on will
affect about 100000 of the coun-
try5s railway employes-all except
the train service men, whose wages
are not in dispute before the board.
Although wage cuts have not been
announced for any classes but the
shop crafts and maintenance of way,
pending decision are expected to add
five other classes of labor to the
general slash.
Union executives of these organi-
cations today decided to print their
ballots and have them ready to send
out to the membership Immediately
if the board, as anticipated, orders
furthers reductions in their pay.
''The new wages do not permit a
minimum living wage" declared Mr..
Jewell, land they are wholly at var
lance with the saving wage cham
pioned by Secretary of Labor James
]. Davis and President Hardinv. The
labor board, a federal body, has to-
tally disregarded the secretary's at
titude as well as the employees own
evidence showing the amount neces-
sary to maintain railroad mans
family"
No further action will be taken by
the union heads at this time, pend
ing return of the strike ballots. When
the result is known-and the union
heads freely predict an overwhelm-
ing vote to walk out-a working
agreement is expected to be made
by which any stopage of work would
take place simultaneously by all or
CARNATIONS.
Meanwhile, President Jewell init
mated that persistent fight would
be made to keep the necessity for
gaining living wage" before the
board and other responsible authori-
ties.

APPREHENSION OF
 ANOTHER SMALL
 CROP WASFEATURE
General Market List Closed Firm at a Net Advance of Fifty-eight to Seventy
 nine Points
By Associated Press

New York, May S.-Apprehensions of another small crop were increased by reports of further rains in the southwest, and there was a renewal of more or less general buying in the cotton market today The reactions of late last week were recovered and prices made new high records with October selling up to 19.57c or
 "A points above Saturdays closing quotation. That delivery closed at l9.53, with the general market clos ing firm at net advance of 58 to @ points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of IA to 30 points on private reports of rains in Texas, relatively steady cables, larger spot sales in Liverpool and encouraging reports from the goods trade. After showing net advances of some 40 to 50 points. prices reacted slightly under realiz- ing, but considerable volume ot contracts was absorbed on setbacks of IS or 20 points, and prices firmed up during the afternoon on continued unfavorable weather news. the fear of further rains in the southwest and reports of an increased spot de-
 manG. May contracts sold up to 19.90c. July to 19,44c and December to 19.63c or 60 to s1 points net higher and into new high ground for the movement.
 The close was a shade off from the best under realizing. The relative firmness of Liverpool attributed by private cables to improving trade in Manchester and good demand for spot cotton, came in for considerable particularly with reference to the increased spot business, as the Liverpool sales for the day were 14,- coo bales. Trade interests were also credited with buying in the futures market here, but local brokers attrib- uted the bulk of the demand to com mission house buying and covering by interests who had sold for re- action toward the close of last week.
 Detailed weather reports confirmed private advices concerning rains In the southwest. and the official west ern belt forecast was for unsettled weather with showers, which some of the local map readers thought would amount to further rains In some localities.

HIGHER AVERAGE IN WHEAT MARKET
 MOST OF SESSION
Corn Was in Sympathy With Fractional Gains, While Oats and Provisions
 Were Up and Down
By Associated Press

Chicago, May S.-Although wheat
 prices broke sharply at one time to-
 day the market averaged higher, ow
 ing more or less to current opinion
 that rally was due after recent de-
 clines. The close was unsettled at
 the same as Saturdays finish to Tsc
 advance with May s1.36X to $1.S7
 finished & O lac to %c up. oats un-
 changed to Bc lower and provisions
 varying from 1oc decline to a rise of
 a shade.
 The greater part of the buying of wheat appeared to be covering on the part of the shorts and based to some extent on a decrease of nearly D.
 000. 900 bushels in the supply of ocean passage. Besides it was generally
 anticipated that the domestic supply total would show a falling off. The fact that shipments from here Sat urday were more than the receipts tended likewise to encourage a little sentiment.
 Assertions that 3,0oo,0o0 bushels of wheat would leave Kansas City for Chicago this week had much to do with a sudden but transient down. ward swing in the wheat market dur ing the middle of the session. Fur thermore. some sales of wheat to go into storage here were announced.
 Later, however, 1t developed that to- days receipts here had been over estimated. and instead of amounting to 400 carloads were actually 246 Export sales of 10000 bushels at the seaboard and vessel charters here
 for 270o00 bushels to Buffalo helped further to send the market upward again in. the late dealings. Deliv- cries here on May contracts were 169,0 ,0o0 bushels of wheat. Forecasts of rain together with visible supply decreases and talk of export business gave firmness to corn and oats.
 Commission house selling weakened the provision market after an upturn in line with hog values.
