GRAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The bulls captured
the start in wheat today and thereafter they
fought to maintain this advantage. The
cables from Liverpool showed prices up with
American markets for futures and this to-
gether with the strong finish i'll the local
market yesterday, caused good commission
house buying. Locals opposed the advance
for time but the buying was broad enough
10 force these sellers to cover. December
bid up sharply by shorts, but at $1.27
offerings were free enough for all purposes
and above S1.2G for May the leading long
waS-a good seller Red wheat premiums
were off cents today and hard wheat was
easier; Minneapolis reported an active de-
mand for cash wheat and Kansas City cash
wheat was 1c up. The reparatiOns COM
mittee declared Germany in default of rep
aration payments and should the allies force
payment it looks if the financial con-
dition of some of the continental European
countries would be complete chaos. This
would reflect back on this country, as those
countries are expected to absorb
plus grains the next six months. President
Harding is reported opposed to the idea of
calling world economic conference. Re-
ceipts continue heavy and reports from
Winnipeg say Canadian farmers are selling
freely on the advance.
Wheat closed 1IIc to nc higher. De-

The action of corn was much the same
as wheat. Locals bought early and the
big longs sold the corn on the bulge but
the market WAS able to digest the offer
ings. Philadelphia advised that exporters
had cleaned up the corn held there and
they would now have TO go west for more.
Receipts were heavy and discounts for No.

UPSHAW COULD
PROVE DRINKING
CHARGES, He SAYS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The
New York World publishes a signed
statement by Representative Will
liam D. Upshaw, of Georgia, who is
now at Asheville, wherein Mr.. Up
shaw claims that he has the goods"
to support his charges of drinking
in high places in Washington, but
does not think it would be proper
to give the names Of the drinkers
unless the issue is forced on him.
In response to Geographic request
from the World, Representative Up
shaw prepared a statement Of more
than a column which appears under
his signature. In that statement he
says in part:
asked if I expect to reveal names
of high officials who have been drink
ing Illicit liquor, answered that I
hope I am too much of a gentleman
to violate the amenities of a casual
personal or official acquaintance just
for the sake of raising a fuss or en-
barrassng many otherwise splendid
men. But I have the goods so far
as evidence is concerned. 1 could
give names and dates that would
startle the country, but I don't
want to do it, and I do not intend
to unless the issue is forced on me.
I don't want to embarrass anybody
by publicity. I want to help these
high officials to repent. I don't want
a noise; I want the devilish thing
to stop.
Declaration Urged
II am glad to say the president
is not included personally in my i'm
plication concerning high officials,
but in face Of the persistently cur
rent stories in Washington about the
drinking that goes on at many gilded
functions where high officials are
guests and patrons, and in the face
of President Harding's timely and
righteous call on all governors to
help enforce that part of the con-
stitution which outlaws the liquor
traffic for the encouragement of So
briefly and the redemption of our
youth, and in face of that other
deadly fact that there is such a wide
spread belief that officialdom does ar
rogate to itself bacchanalian priv
ilege which it legally and ostensibly
denies to the masses. 1 frankly be-
lieve the president and all members
of his official family would do a glo-
riously wholesome thing to declare
with Commander Alvin Owsley, Of
the American Legion, that they are
on the water wagon every minute
of the time while they are oathbound
officials of the United States. This
would encourage and fortify many
a wavering official and millions of
hesitant, well-meaning citizens of
our prohibition country.
Bryan's Example
The responsibility OF leadership
on great moral issue is appalling.
William J. Bryan, who has been be-
fore the American people more than
thirty years without f1eck on his
name, who holds the faith of the
God-fearing masses in the hollow of
his band today as never before, and
who could poll more votes for presi-
dent on a platform of national So
briefly and law enforcement than
any other living man. has long car
ried a book, they say, in which he
signs the pledge anew every time he
can induce some wavering friend to
join him. Nobody suspects Bryan
Of tipping. But knowing the power
Of example he simply declares him
self at every opportunity for the
sake Of inspiring others.
why should not our president,

abor representatives.
Supervisory forces Of the railroad
shops were not decreased. After due
consideration, the decision said. it was
felt that the duties and responsible
ties of such forces warranted main
tenance of the present rates.

know mas car Knockers are the OBJ
ject Of some of the heaviest assaults
by the roads, in their battle for lower
wages were cut nine cents. The lar
ger cut was ordered for the car
Knockers" because. the board said, it
believed that their work did not require
the same skilled service as other bran
ches of car mems work. This heavier
reduction for the freight car men came
under especially severe criticism in the
minority report, the labor members de-
claring there was no justification for
discrimination in car work.
Cleaners Lowered 40 Cents
Car cleaners who now receive an
average of $3.1S a day. were cut five
cents an hour, or 40 cents a day.
The mechanics, whose daily rate now
averages from $6.11 for electrical
workers to S6.9s for blacksmiths, will

LILLIAN RuSSELL'S
FUNERAL THURSDAY;
NATION IS STIRRED
Government Officials and Many
Prominent in Society Send
Condolences.

Pittsburgh, Pa. June 6.-Funeral
services for Mrs. Lillian Russell
Moore, who died at her home here early
Tuesday will be held in Trinity Pro-
testant Episcopal church, Thursday
afternoon. The body will then be
placed in a vault until a suitable
m%auseolum can be erected, by her hus-
band, Alexander P. Moore, publisher of
the Pittsburgh Leader.
During the day many kilograms of
coincidence reached Mr.. Moore and
other members of the family from all
parts of the country. They came not
only from leaders in the theatrical pro-
fession, in which Mrs. Moore as the
AIRY Fairy Lillian.i' Of the operate
stage was so long a striking figure,
but from government officials and
leaders in society who were pleased to
number her among their friends.
Among the message which came early
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-07

train service men, was brief and Of
fered no explanation of how the new
rates were arrived at. This omission
brought more fire from the dissenters,
who declare the majority decision did
not consider human needs" ignored
the pleas of the employees for a living
wage" and made no attempt to show
that mechanics are not entitled to such
a standard"
1t was learned Tuesday that the
United States Railroad Labor boards
decision affecting telegraphers, the next
class of employees to be dealt with in a
ruling, will not be handed down for
some time. and undoubtedly will not
be issued in time to become effective
July /, the date the maintenance of way
and shopt crofts decisions take effect.
The reason for this, it was explained,
is that the chief question in the tele-
graphers case is not SO much how much
money shall be paid, but how %inequali-
ties Of pay On different roads shall be
settled. This matter is expected to
take several weeks more of discussion
by board members.
The effect of this delay on the pos
sible strike would be considerable for
telegraphers are considered among the
most important unions in the traffic
moving machinery and are among the
most difficult to replace quickly.
The decision contained numerous ia
bles, prepared by the boards statisti-
cal department, designed to show that
all the wages reduced had not been re-
duced more than the reduction in the
cost of living and that the purchasing
power of the present pay was higher
than the purchasing power of the high
er wages paid during the years since
1917.
1t Is also said that the board be-
lieyed that, ever with the ordered de-
crease. shop employees would be re-
ceiving a wage greater than the aver

Gompers Condemns
Supreme Court for
Coronado Decision

Cincinnati, June 6.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-THE decision of the
supreme court of the United States in
the Coronado mine case Monday was
denounced Tuesday by Samuel Com
pers. president Of the American Fede-
ration of Labor, as setting a precedent
under which capital can impose
any condition on the working people
of the country and they would dare
not resist"
The veteran labor leader. who ar
rived here Tuesday for the fedora
ton convention. which begins next
week, declared, however, that be be-
lieved there was ''some latent power
over and above the supreme court
the congress and the people of the
United States" which would repudiate
the courts ruling.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-07
& wage paid for similar work in other

age wage paid for similar work in other
industries.
Citing machinists and car men, the
decision that the purchasing power of
the former under the new wages would
be 1873 per cent greater than in 1917
and the latter would be able to buy
45.7 more with the new pay than with
the 1917 rate.
The decision declared it believed the
wages fixed to be just and reasonable.
Suggestion for "some recognized stand
ard" to be worked out by the board
and used as a basis for future wage
adjustments was contained in the mi
nority report, which consumed several
times the number of pages in the ma
jority decision. The labor members
felt. they said, that the board SHOULD
initiate a study which shall determine
the amount necessary to meet some
recognized standard and that it must
use its results as a basis for its de-
cisions and that it must, through those
decisions, transmit this information to
the public"
Say Family Needs Ignored
The decision, the minority report
continued, tended ito substantiate the
position of the railroads that wages
need not be r~e-established with refer
ence to the needs of the family" con-
tending that a minimum wage for the
shop crafts should be so cents an hour.
which would mean a rate Of 81 cents
for skilled mechanics.
1.-THE savings to the railroads far
exceed anything justified by the saw
ings to the public in reduced rates
