Chicago, April 25,-WHEAT-Heavy sell
ing which looked like on the part OF eastern
holders led to a decided break in wheat
prices today. The break came soon after
the opening, which was at an advance as
a result of com rarative strength of quota
lions at Liverpool. Gossip, however, was
current about possible large deliveries here
on May contracts and about difficulty or
disposing of cash wheat at May prices
The opening which varied from 12e to lac
higher. May 81 .469k to $147, and July $129
to 81 29A, was followed by slight further
upturn, and then by rapid descent that
in some cases went more than cents under
early top figures.

YOUTHS MORAL REVOLT
DEBATED BY CHURCHMEN
College President Says Respect for
Old Standards Has Been
Lost.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, April 26.-Reasons
for the revolt of the younger gen.
Grafton against moral standards OF
an earlier day were discussed at the
opening of the church congress un-
der auspices of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church. The speakers included
Rev. DIR. Bernard Iddings Bell, presi-
dent of ST. stephens College, AMMAN
dale, N. Y, and Rev. Samuel Smith
Drury, in charge of St. Paurs School,
Concord. n. II.
DIR. Bell laid the present conduct
F. and beliefs of youths at the door of
the fathers and mothers.
The plain fact is that our young
people have little respect for our
generation, which has messed up in
dustrialism as it has. which produced
the ghastly butchery of the last few
years as it's highest achievement in
ternationally. which has well-nigh
killed off arts with floods of roto-
gravures and popular-priced maga-
zines. which produces no leaders In
any humanistic field and which bids
youth to emulate and. even more diff
ficult, to admire the Somber stupidity
and priSsy primness of cotemporary
commercial success.
Youth will no longer respect our
standards simply because they are
ours. The typical collegian today,
who sets the fashion ethically as
we'll as in dress, is taught to examine
life fearlessly and follow only that
which persuades."

COAT THIEF HAS MARK.
Serves 90 Years and Returns, Say
ing: "I Can't Help It."

LONDON. April 26.-William Whit
man has spent twenty-three years in
prison and has Just been sentenced to
another four years-all for stealing
coats. If he were well to do he might
be terIped kleptomanac. not respon-
sible for his acts, but as, he is jus; a
very ordinary sort of carpenter he goes
to Jail every time he is caught.
He began stealing coats in 1882, and
says he cannot help taking them. This
last time he stole two mackintoshes
from the store of the Metropolitan Rail-
way Company. Almost invariably it
is from railway company that he takes
<the coats. Ordinary coats present a
temptation, but those owned by rail-
way companies seem to possess an ir-
resistible fascination for him.

.FOOD PRICES DROP
For the First Time In Years Bread
 and Meat Come Down

Moscow, July 21.-For the first time in several years prices of the two staple foodstufs, bread and meat, have shown a slight drop in the Mos COW markets. But other staples, such as sugar and butter, are rising. Sim ultaneously the Soviet ruble which for more than month had stood at about 4,000,0o0 to the dollar, advanc- ed in value to the ratio of 3,S00,000 to the dollar.
 A number of factors contributed to che drop in bread prices, among them being the open sale on the markets Of the contents of American Relief Administration food packages, and the arrival in Moscow Of grain from abroad.
 Prices are dropping also in the famine area, and in the country they are gradually becoming lower than in Moscow.

ity and of pension rights of the strik- CTS and setting up a national board of nd justment.
 The latter was received as q new factor by the president, who ia said 10 have advised that this was a strong point at issue.
 Settlement Falls.
 President Harding was advised to- day by Chairman Cummins and Sen ators Watson of Indiana and Kellogg Of Minnesota Of the senate interstate commerce committee Of the unavailins efforts made by them in conference With several leading eastern railroad executives last night to obtain a basis for settlement Of the railroad strike.
 The three interstate commerce com mittee members went. to the White House shortly after g o'clock and laid before the president the full details Of the conference last night at q Washington hotel with the road ex- ecutives. They declined to discuss their report prior to its presentation to the president.
 Conference Is Likely.
 On leaving the White House the senators said they had merely made a report 10 the president concerning the meeting with the executives. It was said that future conference probably" would be held but 1t was not stated who would participate.
 Senator Cununins seemed pessirn- istic over the outlook but Senator Watson was more optimistic.
 The early conference between the president and senators was arranged 1t was thought so Mir. Harding could lay the matter before the cabinet to- day.
 No Rights Restored.
 The road executives in their con- ferences were understood to have de- clared that there could be no restora- ton of the seniority right of those employees on strike. Restoration of seniority they were said to hold would violate the word of the railroads as given to the workers who All the places of those who walked out. The seniority question accordingly was held to be the big point at issue.
 Direct Negotiations.
 Samuel Gompers in a statement to- day invited the government to urge that the striking coal miners and the striking railroad workers and their respective employers inaugurate di rect negotiations.
 we invite the federal government to see to it that employers and work CTS come together" said MT. Comp CTS. The government has done ev- erything except this one logical neces- sary thing.
 The government has threatened a great deal. It has talked about troops and about the rights of the public. It has not talked effectively about conference and 1t has had little or nothing to say about the rights of the workers.
 Labor calls upon the government to talk about conference between en- ployers and workers, both in the coal industry and in the railroad shop strike.
 "Conference Is the thing that is needed"
