A panic is on in the minds OF the
people. who find the banks unable to
supply the change for a ten dollar
bill.
Citizens are hurrying to shops with
thousands of mark notes done up in
paper bundles.
"Give us anything you have to SELL"
they are demanding of harassed
clerks and shop-keepers, who, Midas
like, find everything they touch turn
ing to paper marks that are showing
under the once orderly economic life
r Germany.
Pockets no longer are large enough
to hold all the mark one needs for an
excursion into the streets of Berlin
A familiar sight is the citizenry with
long bundles Of money under arms or
stuffed in huge handbags.
Every one knows what his neighbor
has under his arm, bales OF 5, 900 mark
notes, worth less than a cent. And
every one Is trying to spend them
lest tomorrow they become worthless.
In hotels and restaurants special
walters have been installed who do
nothing but figure how many million
marks worth Of food each guest is
eating so a check may be ready for
him.
Meanwhile, every one is laying in
canned goods. The banks are I'M
able to. change a $40 bill. They pass
out a ration Of a few hundred thou
sand marks and give a certified check
for the balance. These checks the
merchants naturally accept in lieu of
anything else.
In many instances merchants are
refusing to deliver goods c. o. D., the
day following the agreement to pur-
chase. but are demanding cash down

bling mark may have deprecated so
as TO make the bargain a bad one.
The charge account has been elm

Use by farmers of surplus wheat
for feeding purposes was seen today
by 1. Newt Brown, secretary of the
State Board Of Agriculture, as the
noe feasible means Of stimulating the
price of wheat.
THE farmer should grind for him
self every available bushel of wheat
and substitute 1t for corn in feeding.
By grinding his own wheat the farmer
will have saved a large miller's bill
and will be able to place his corn on
the market. Corn is always a more
stable product than wheat and by this
means the farmer will be able to take
care of his immediate obligations. At
the same time the outside demand for
wheat probably will have increased
and the price for what the farmer has
saved will balance the amount he
used for feed" Brown said.
Brown said he doubted the prac-
ticabilitv of banks extending loans on
the strength of slips indicating the
farmer had stored wheat He said

CONFER ON PLANS
FOR 8-HOUR DAY
Gary Indicates Change May
Not Be Made for Sew
eraI Months.
BIZ United Pres


NEW YORK, July 26.-Executives
Of the United States Stee. Corpora.
ton gathered around the conference
table in company headquarters today
to plan the first step in elimination
of the twelve-hour day-storm center
Of labor disputes in the industry.
With Judge Ebert H. Gary presid.
ing, the conference went to work to
find the basis upon which the change
can be made.
Involves Sweeping Changes
Upon entering the conference Gary
indicated the change might not be &C
complished for months. It involves
sweeping changes in opera tion-com-
plete revision Of the working SEIZED
ules Of 100000 employees new salary
arrangements and employment of
thousands Of new workers
Our purpose is to consider ways to
put into effect at the earliest possible
moment the elimination of the twelve
hour day" Gary said. This involves
facts and figures more or less com
plicated."
Here are the difficulties Of the
project which were under discussion:,
1. Workers now laboring the
twelve-hour shifts-about % per cent
Of the entire employment ,ist-would
only earn $500 for an eight-hour day
they now receive $500.
Will Add to Cost
2. Gary estimates the change will
add Is per cent to the cost of the
manufactured steel product because
thousands Of new men would have to
be employed. (The estimates of those
needed vary from $4,000 to 325, 0O0)
8. Some smaller steel companies
making the change have been met
with demands for wage increases.
