Chicago Produce Market
Chicago. Oct. 16.-(Ap'

Chicago, Oct. 16.-(AP).
Drought in Australia and rain in
Canada sent the wheat market soaring
today as much as 4sc bushel, but the
hight became more rapid than a ma
1orlty of traders were ready for and a
sudden reaction developed near the fin
lsh. Wheat prices closed nervous at {
to 1sc net gain, new style, December
l.444 to 1.44s and May 1.43, with corn
TO &c up, oats at shade to &c adj
vance and provisions varying from 15c
decline to rise of Csc.
Persistent lack of rain in two of
the largest wheat-growing districts of
Australia were reported in some of the
adviceS current here as having already
caused early sown wheat to deterior-
ate to the extent of 100000 900 bushels.
although copious moisture would yet
save the situation, 1t was said. Mean
while 115,000,000 bushels to 10000
600 of grain, mostly wheat. was rep
resented as being still unthreshed in
Canada and being damaged by adverse
weather. Furthermore, Russian ship
ments became smaller than expected
and Argentine shipments also showed
a substantial decrease.
Official announcement that the Ar
gentine wheat acreage this season is
the largest on record, 100000 acres,
was more or less Of factor in the
late downturn OF wheat vtlues. Be-
sides, an increase Of 100000 bushels
was also a bearish influence prior to
the close. Another of the interesting
developments at the last was that the
price difference between Chicago new
December wheat and Winnipeg De-
cember had widened to "a cents as
compared with Fl cents the day be-
fore.
Corn and oats paralleled the action
of wheat. Upturns in corn values were
partly due to wet weather unfavorable
for conditioning the new crop.
In line with hogs and grain, the pro-
vision market was firmer.

Labor Federation
Meet Best Ever
Belief Pres. Green

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 16.-
(AP)-The 45th annual convention
ended today and was characterized
of the American Federation of Labor
by President William Green, in a
farewell address to the delegates, as
the most constructive convention of
the Federation ever held-one that
will make history"
Twenty three resolutions were
adopted during the final session.
Two congressional Investigations
were urged-one of the Ward Bak-
ing Company and the proposed
100000, 900 baking combine, and the
other of the Bell Telephone Sys-
tenn.
Resolutions adopted charged the
Ward Company with combating
union labor aid keeping up the
prices of bread. even during the war.
1t was charged that the company
and the other companies in the pro-
posed merger sought to control the
bread making industry of the coun-
try.
The Bell System. which has been
under fire at. previous conventions of
the federation, was charged with
having monopolistic grip on a vital
public necessity, detrimental to the
welfare of the country.
A resolution which would put the
federation on record as opposing the
affiliation of the United States with
the world court was referred back
to the executive council.
There was a lengthy discussion on
China, in which the federation fin
nally decided to urge the withdrawal
of extra-territorial privileges from
all nations.

which led to the torpedo compart-
ment. This was secured open by
dogs" and he was unable to close
it before the water rushed in.
He then tried to close the door
leading into the central control
compartment and when he failed,
climbed the coming tower ladder
to the bridge. He was swept over
the port side as the submarine sank.
Kile, the last man to leave, said
he saw no one on the submarine
bridge and only one man in the
water. That was Weisman, the
lookout, who was drowned before
the City of Rome's lifeboat reached
him.
Alfred Geier, the third survivor,
testified that he saw Lieutenant
Commander Dobson, commander of
the S-51. on the bridge when he
reached the top side. He said he
heard his captain call out to the
steamer, then but thirty yards away
from the submarine, to throw him a
line. This was not done, he said.
Geier agreed with his shipmates that
there was no searchlight playing

He did see one lighted life ring
which he reached few minutes be-
fore he was picked up by the life
boat.
Each of the three survivors testf-
fed the submarines lights were in
working order until she sank. Two
of them said they noticed the stern
light burning when they were on
deck smoking. about two hours be-
fore the crash.
AS he finished his testimony,
Judge Advocate lockwood asked:
Have you any charge to make
against any officer or man with re-
gard to the loss of the Sol z"
They had none.
The course of the submarine,
James w. Frazer, a navy diver, tes-
tilted, was hard right when she was
rammed. He said that he had made
two dives to the SOL and found the
main rudder in hard right position
when he inspected it.
When Frazer was released from
the stand he was instructed to re-
turn to duty at the scene OF the
disaster. where preparations for sal
wage work are being made, ana re-
auested that the vicinity be THOR

This document was in use on the
bridge when the submarine was

Dun'S Report

New York, Oct 16.-Dun's tomorrow
will say:
Gains in business thus far during
the fall season have in most cases full
filled and in some instances surpassed
expectations. 1t does not now re-
quire close examination of reports to
detect evidence of progress for there is
a steadily widening circle of improve
ment that is embracing nearly all
lines. Because of the prominent posi-
ton of the steel industry the substan-
tiaI increase in the untitled tonnage
of the principal producer has occasion
ed much favorable comment and it has
been supplemented by further rise in
output and by more definite signs of
stronger markets. The metal trades
generally have been doing better, with
zinc prices at the highest level of the
year; New England shoe factories are
booking more contracts: colder wealth
er has given new stimulus to retal
sales of dry goods and clothing and in
various commercial channels frequent
purchases by dealers are necessitated
by the charging demands from con-
SumerS.

PRESIDENTS AIR
BOARD NEARS END
HEARING TESTIMONY

Washington, Oct. 16-(AP)-The
presidents air board held protracted
sessions today and tonight so that
all witnesses summoned might be
heard and its public hearings on the
aircraft situation adjourned.
Appointed by President Coolidge to
conduct a sweeping inquiry into all
phases of aviation, board members
were satisfied tonight that thor
ough examination of the situation
had been made. They plan to de-
termine when to begin the drafting
of their report, which the president
has requested them to submit prior
to the converting of congress.
The board today devoted most of
it's attention to the questioning of
army and navy officers who had been
unable to testify during the time al
lotted several weeks ago to military
witnesses.
Brigad,er General Fox Conner, fin
ance officer Of the army, declared the
economy policy" of the government
had prevented the war department
from increasing the size of the army
air service. as recommended by the
board headed by Major General Will
liam Lassiter.
$50 long as the ammunition re-
serve is disappearing all money de-
mands are due to exhaustion of
stocks, animals retained in the SER
vice beyond their usefulness and &c.
600 officers and men are living in
wartime shacils" he asserted. 1.-THE
war department would, in my opin-
ion, be quite unjustified in urging the
Lassiter program to the exclusion of
all else"
Major General Robert G.. Davis,
adjutant general of the army, OPP
posed the proposed national defense
project and criticized the politely of
Major General Mason M. Patrick,
army air chief, in refusing to accept
the transfer of officers from other
army units to the air service.
Major II. H. Arnold, army air ser
vice Information officer, on the other
hand, testified in favor of the crea-
ton of a department of national de-
Tense, as advocated by General Pat
rick and Colonel William Mitchell.
While he was testifying, the first
air brigade of the army, commanded
by Brigadier General James E.
Fechet, assistant air chief, flew over
Md, where maneuvers will be held
tomorrow.
There goes all of our air force"
Major Arnold asserted.
ut has thirty five planes. the
largest number we could muster if
called upon tomorrow to defend
Washington"
He explained that these machines
were all of the pursuit. lombard
ment and attack planes available to
operate as an independent afr force,
and that he did not mean to imply
this was the total number of army
planes available for immediate use
in war as there were several hun
bred assigned to other army activi-
ties.
He also took exception to testi-
mony of several witnesses as to the
effect of ground fire on aircraft. as
sorting a plane could bomb any OBJ
jectve in the face of anti aircraft
guns.
