Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 4-Bonds
opened the week active and strong.
New. buying orders for government
securities carried quotations for all
the active Liberties up within hailing
distance of the high points of the
year. Some traders professed a be-
lief that banks which had accumu-
lated the bonds at much lower prices
were now selling Liberties and buying
treasury certificates, but II that was
the case there was no sign of it in
the market.
Similarly some bankers expressed
the opinion that slightly higher rates
for money were in prospect for the
next few months, but quotations to-
day did not support this view. On
the contrary, rates for 60-day funds
eased up to . per cent bid and offered

10000 COAL CARS
AWAITING SERVICE

The American Railway Association
reports that the railroads now have
nearly 10000 surplus coal cars in
good repair and Immediately avail
able for service, but not in use, owing
to the lack of demand for fuel. The
division points out that the early
shipment of coal would do much to
make available additional transpor-
tation facilities so that the crop
movement can be expeditiously han
died in the next few months.
Coal production so far this year
has fallen below the corresponding
period in 1923, bituminous production
alone up to July IL having been more
than 100000 tons below that for
the same period in 1928.

CORN PRICES REACH

Wheat Also Stronger-0ats

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fresS
CHICAGO, August 4.-Wheat prices
averaged higher today during the
early dealings, despite a sinking spell
soon after the opening. An upturn
in Winnipeg quotations. together
with a renewal of black rust reports
both from north and south of the
Canadian boundary. tended to stimu-
late wheat buying, and so, too, did
an advance in the corn market. Be-
sides, country offerings of wheat here
were only fair. Opening prices. which
varied from unchanged figures to sc
higher, September 1925 to 1924
and December 1861 a1.36%, were
followed by a moderate general set
back and then by a rise all around
to we'll above Saturdays finish.
All deliveries of corn reached a
new high-p price record for the season.
Adverse crop reports and smallness
of rural offerings to arrive were the
chief bullish factors. After opening
at 1c decline to 11c advance, Decem-
Der 1.03 to 1.03h, the market scored
sharp general gains, more than SIC

Dawes-Morgan Plan
Without Hesitation

PARIS, France, April 24.-Premier
Poincare again displays his impe-

sion of Poincare's letter to them.
Poincare informs M. Barthou of his
hopes that the Dawes report, which
would complete the control Of Ger
man industries by foreign capital.
will be speedily put into operation.
In spite of the intimation by Premier
Macdonald that this course might
lead to friction between London and
Paris, Poincare has obeyed the i'm,

beloved vagabond," but his mistress
trusted him. She sent him on an inn
portant errand to the city, and the de-
lighted stableman tries so hard to full
fill her confidence by returning with
the money entrusted to him. Unfor-
tunately he is poor man, tho good
hearted to an extreme, and his clothes
are ragged. The money packet falls
out thru hole in his cap and is lost
by the roadside while Polikushka
dozes. The simple soul in his distrac-
ton can think of nothing to redeem
himself but taking his own life. The
money is found too late by another to
save the peasants life, but he is vim
dictated in the eyes of his companions.
Milwaukee will be glad to have the
opportunity of seeing this exceptional
picture. The National Board of Re-
view recommended it as one of the
finest films yet produced.
All tickets for this performance are
55 cents, no tax, and the net proceeds
will be divided for the benefit of the
starving people of Germany.

An Illinois United Front

The call for the FarmerLabor gathering at
PEORIA Illinois, May 18th, presents to the workers
and farmers of this state the best opportunity yet
offered for a united class political front of those
who toll in the cities and on the land
1t is a call that should find a 100 per cent re-
Spouse from the steel mills of Waukegan, to the
coal mines of Zeiger, and beyond 1t should rouse
the hopes of the mortgage and tenant farmers of
the fertile but plundered fields from the shores
of Lake Michigan to the banks of the Mississippi
and Ohio rivers.
This is an opportunity for the farmers and city
workers of Illinois, not only to take a stand in
their own state, but to link up with awakened
labor in other states thru the historic National
Farmer-Labor Convention planned for St Paul,
Mimi. June 18th.
There is no excuse for any class farmer or city
labor element being absent. Absence from this
gathering means direct, even if unintended blow,
at the unity Of the exploited masses of this state
The heavy defeat in the recent republican pri-
maries, of the forces parading as the Conference
for Progressive Political Action, should end for
all time the meddling of workers and farmers in
old party politics in this state What is needed
now is class political party of city and country
workers. That is what will be organized at Peoria
next month
The workers and farmers of this state should be
proud to take their places in such an organization,
fighting side by side nationally, with the Farmer
Labor parties already carrying the standards of
embatted toll in Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, Washington and a
host of other states.
1t is not sufficient for the readers Of the DAILY
WORKER to give passing glance at the call for
the Peoria Convention, that appears on another
page of this issue. Clip it out. See that the ques-
ton of sending delegates is brought up at the next
meeting of your union, party branch, fraternal
society, or farmers organization.
Against the Teapot Dome grafters, the injunc-
ton judges, the landlords the bankers, the indus
trial bandits-the United Farmer-Labor Party of
the robbed but fighting. workers and farmers of
Illinois.
