Wheat, Flour and Bread

TO-DAY, the wheat market going thru its annual pyro-

glory.
The mounting prices do not benefit the poor farmer.

wheat crop went off the land last year prices at least 65
cents below present quotations 1t into the hands of
the bankers the landlords and the great grain companies
that make their biggest money thru speculation.
The millions Of toll worn farmers who sweated in agony

compelled to sell prices that hardly covered their expenses

New York and sold cheaper than wheat purchased on the
Chicago board of trade and sent to the metropolis In
Antwerp the American wheat in the hands OF the big
spectators must still compete with the grain from Russia
India and the Argentine The difference in prices in Chicago
and Antwerp is hardly explained by the word shortage
The Chicago price is that works both way. 1t gives

That is the vicious cycle in wheat prices year after

Demand Justice for the
OuSted MiIitantS

Two Chicago locals of the In
ternationaI Brotherhood of
Carpenters, this week, went un-
animousIy on record for a
square deal for the five MEM
bers expelled from Local No.
ISL, in defiance of the union
laws and constitution. The To-
Gals taking such action are:
Local No. 1 and No. Is.
During the week the expelled mem
bers visited other local unions and
were everywhere received in a most
friendly manner. It is quite evident
that the rank and file are overwhelm-
ingly In opposition to the railroading
policy Of Hutcheson and Jensen.
Those who took the floor at the local
unions where the expelled members ap-
peared, were vigorous in condemning
the autocracy of the "czar" at Indian
apolis and his local tool. Harry Jen-
son. These officials were charged with
making mockery of the constitution
and the laws of the brotherhood.
Establishing Precedent.
One Of the officials OF Local No. I,
made a plea for the defendants say
ing that if such illegal action against
them can go unchallenged similar pun
ishment can be melted out to any 9TH
er member of the organization who
happens to disagree with those in Of
fee. Locals Nos. 1 and Is voted
unanimously to send communication
to the general president asking for a
speedy decision on the ruling of the
president Of Local ISL, which declared
the five members expelled without
complying with the forms of the con-
stitution.
The expelled members are deprived
Of their means of livelihood thru the
autocratic action of Hutchinson and
his satellites.
Morris Rosen, Communist candidate
for president Of the carpenters union,
on the left wing ticket, was given ere
dit for 9,014 votes by the Hutcheson
tellers. Candidate Brown got over
34,3O6 votes and Hutchinson counted
1855 for himself. The vote indicates
that there Is a strong Communist
nucleus inside the powerful Carpen-
ters' Union.
