LABOR TAKES INITIATIVE
Kings Speech From Throne Is
Signal for Protests by
Ramsey Macdonald.

RI United Press
mier Lloyd Georges first word in the
House Of Commons as a member Of
the opposition to Bonar Laws con
sentative government was expected
today, as Parliament laid aside the
trappings Of state and got down TO
hard work on the Irish bill.
Rumors that Lloyd George would
retire for a while were set at rest by
his acceptance of election to leader
ship Of the national liberals. In this
positfon he will be expected to speak
on all important issues, following
Ramsey Macdonald, leader Of the
labor opposition and former Premier
Il. n. Asuuith Of the Wee Frees.
49, Labor Seizes Initiative
Labor lost no time in Selling the
initiative among Bonar Laws oppo-
nents in the House. The Kings
spssch from the throne, formally
o%ng Parliament. was scarcely
made before Ramsey Macdonald was
on his feet in the House, denouncing
the conservative governments att-
tude and warning Of strong fight
by labor against unsatisfactory meas
ures to relieve housing shortages and
labor difficulties.
For the first time in history, the La
Dor party is his majesty's opposition"
and the switch of leadership from ]. r.
Clines to Macdonald has proved a
master stroke In the opinion OF the
partv's followers-the latter bringing
to the house a fresh fire and enthu-
siasm which the older, more conserva-
tive labor leader lacked.
Tart exchanges between Lady Astor
and labor members featured the open
ing session. The former Virginia girl
bitterly opposed to most Of labor's
principles. shrieked at labor NJ P. to

New York, April II. - Trading
was fairly active in the drygoods
market today with print cloths and
sheetings dividing the attention OF
buyers. Prices were maintained at
about the Saturday level The
larger part of the business was for
nearby deliveries. Bleached, print-
ers and conveTters seemed to be
buying somewhat more freely.
Drills and wills were given con-
siderable attention and there was
some business done in satins and
voiles and dimities.
The raw silk market continued to
reflect the strength manifested in
the Yokohama market but the vol
ume of business transacted was no,
large. In finished goods crepes
continued the leaders.
WOOL.
Boston, April 1.-THE wool mar
ket continued to show the effect of
the analysis which wool men have
made of the effect of possible tar
if legislation and prices were well
maintained to-day although the vol
ume of wool bought was not large.
More of the far western woods are
coming into the market. Some of
the coarser grades of wool showed
the effect of buying by cloth man
ufacturers desirious of covering on
their tweed and sport clothes or
ders. The foreign market contin-
ued strong.

WHEAT TRADERS
TIMID; BUYING
is VERY LIGHT

Chicago, April Trade in
wheat was light today, the excited
closing bulge in May on Saturday
soaring many people out of the
market. The May delivery was the
center of attraction and a 3-cent
| range was shown in the near deliv-
cry during the morning session.
The early buying looked as il small
er shorts were coming in on their
lines and there was some buying by
Baltimore exporters. The bulges
brought out selling, but the dips
uncovered support, largely from 10
cal interests, and the price held
around SLAB most of the time with
occasional rallies to $144. The de-
ferred months were up early on
flood reports, but realizing sales
caused sharp reaction later. The
cash wheat situation is weaker.
Minneapolis cash premiums we're
&c lower and the flour demand re-
ported worse than ever. Sales of
100000 bushels of contract wheat
were made to go to store. Visible
supply decreased 1,034,000 bushels
last week.

wheat. Later prices reacted with

Boats are being offered to carry
corn to Buffalo at 1Ac a bushel,
but local shippers are unable to
effect sales despite their lower Of

Oats showed independent strength.
1t is now foregone conclusion
that there will be a big cut in the
oats acreage. The continued wet
weather will make it impossible to
get into fields for some time. Cash
demand is fair. Visible supply de-
creased Liza, 900 bushels.

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST
(Copyright, 1922.s

New York, April 17.-Further
strength and activity was noted in
the dealings on the New York curb
market today especially in the oils.
There was a substantial upturn
and new high prices we're estab-
lished for the year. Commission
house business continued on a
large scale with traders active on
both sides of the market, later in
the session realizing set in and
brought about sharp reactions in
some cases extending from one to
over four points.
In the oil group Fensland oil
was the feature, advancing to a
new high mark for the current
year, due to the fact that late last
year the company acquired 1000
acres in the Salt Greek field, ap-
proximately 400 acres of which ad-

Gillette Safety Razor featured
the dealings in the miscellaneous
group, advancing sharply to a new
high record. Eastman Kodak aft
er a substantial upturn lost prac-
tically all it's gain on profit TAX
ing. Phillips Morris was in urgent
demand and also moved to a new
high market Todd Ship Building
and Electric Storage Battery was
quite steady. Motor stocks con-
tinued active and strong. There
was good inquiry for REQ Mo-
tors from an official statement
that the earnings in the first quar-
ter were at the rate of more than
$6,000,000 year. In some quar-
ters it is insisted that with a con-
tinuance of earnings at this rate
it is not unreasonable to look for
stock dividends in addition to the
cash distributions now being made.
The company had paid many stock
dividends in the past.

Supreme Court Affirms Decree Of

Washington, April 17.-The gov
eminent today won in the supreme
court in the case brought by the
United Shoe Machinery Corporation
and others, to have set aside the
restraining order prohibiting them
from using certain lease clauses IN
their contracts for the rental of
patented machinery.
The supreme court affirmed the
decree Of the United States district
court of St. Louis, which enjoined
the corporation under the Clayton
act.
The lower federal court prohibit
ed the corporation from compelling,
by lease agreements, the exclusive
use of its machines and from en-
forcing an alternative royalty
clause, found to be prohfbitive,
upon, all footwear manufactured n
factories where machines of COM
petitors were also used. It al lo
held invalid the agreement by
which the corporation required
those using its machines to pur-
chase supplies of it.
