Per BusheI in Wild Bull
Trading.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 2.-KinS corn has
stepped to the front III the grain
markets Of the country.
The golden product of the Middle
West has moved we'll above dollar a
bushel in wild bull market, induced
largely by unfavorable crop reports.
Incidentally, the rise has fulfilled
the prediction of the International
Harvester Co. that corn would reach
81 bushel, made last year, at a time
when it offered to exchange farm inn
although the cereal then was in the
doldrums, far below that figure.
Recovery Is Sensational.
At that time few agreed with the
view Of the implement company. Cam
paigns we're instituted throughout the
corn belt to induce the country TO use
more corn enthusiastically to eat
up the large surplus. Corn days were
| held in Illinois and Iowa, corn prod.
ucts We're displayed, and corn sugar
and corn bread, particularly. were
urged as items of daily use. Eat more
corn" was the slogan of corn boosters.

Fir the marts. and the last few days
have witnessed what traders said was
one of the most sensational recoveries
that the corn trade has known in re-
cent years.
Hits High Level.
Corn advanced here yesterday to
the highest level in two years. July
jumped 54 cents to s1.04E and was a
fraction under that price at the close,
While September touched $1.071S, and
virtually closed there. Since April 16
the price has risen almost 80 cents.
Corn in the Middle West has been

been subject for poetry and has been
given an aura of romance since the
days of Indian maize. Former Gov.

himself he is said to have killed the
goose that laid the golden egg" The
saying is popularly used in everyday
speech, very frequently with refer
ence to man who, having success
full business wants even more than the
income it yields and draws from 1t so
much that he destroys 1t and finds
himself ruined.
The saying comes to us from one
of the tales known as "Aesops Fables"
called "The Goose With the Golden
Eggs" Traced back through the GEN.
turtles this tale is said to have been
Of East Indian origin, having been
taken from an identical one in the In

AS the story goes, farmer going
to the nest Of his goose found there a
large, glittering, yellow egg. About
to throw it away, he felt Of its weight
and discovered that the egg was gold.
To his delight, the goose presented
him each morning with such a golden
egg the sale OF which soon made him
rich. Under the influence Of greed and
avarice, however, he thought to get all
the eggs at once without waiting from
morning to morning, so he killed the
goose and opened it, to find-nothing

bout, but it demonstrated to the

lows:

Radio Bill Approved By
Congress

Washington.-Aft a four-years'
struggle congress has passed law
that provides for government control
of the radio. The first bill was intro
duced by Congressman White, of
Maine, in 1923.

who will have power to prescribe the
class of service to be rendered by each
station, assign wave-length bands,
regulate apparatus and make regula-
tions not inconsistent with the law to
prevent interference After the first
year all powers vested in the commits
sion will revert to the secretary of
commerce, except the revocation Of Ii
censes. Members of the commission
will be composed of representatives
from five districts into which the
country will be divided. The president
will appoint the commission.

ITALY JOINS FRANCE
AGAINST ARMS PARLEY

Washington. - Italy has joined
France in rejecting President Cool
idge's invitation that the great pow
ers join in a discussion on limiting
the building of cruisers, destroyers
and submarines.
Both dissenting nations hold that
all types Of armament are interde
pendent, and that it is impossible to
discuss disarmament by sections.
Italy also holds that her geographi-
cal position and the need for national
defense makes it impossible to limit
small naval craft.
The action of the two countries has
practically wrecked disarmament
plans.

UNJUST
Says State PrObers of WOm-

Albany, N. Yin recommending
that the state legislature reduce
hours for working women, the indus
trial survey commission declares that
"the wages paid women are unjustly
inadequate"
A 48-hour week for women and min
ors over 16 years is favored. This is,
in effect, 491a hour week, guaran-
teeing Saturday half holiday when
the 49R hour week is established.
Overtime over 48 hours week to the
extent of 78 hours year is permit
ted
The commission rejected the plea of
certain employers for change in law
to permit payment of wages twice a
month instead of weekly.
To acquaint the public with prison
made goods from other states, the
commission recommends that persons
offering these goods for sale in New
York shall attach an irremovable label
containing the words prison made, y
and that violation of this provision
shall be a misdemeanor.
An increase from $40 to $25 week
for compensation ''in cases of perma-
nent total disability and temporary
total disability" is favored.
Vice President Koveleski, of the
State Federation of Labor, member
OF the commission, refused to sign the
majority report that laws regulating
the admission of membership to trade
unions be passed. He also opposed
the recommendation that no further
changes in the workmen's compensa.
ton law be made for five years.
1.-The continual changes of indus
trial processes and the possible com
ing in of new crafts and occupations
may of themselves alone require re-
adjustments in the compensation law
and in the schedule of benefits" he
said.
