GRAM REVlEW

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. g.
(AP)-(U. S. Dept. Of ARri.)-
Price changes in the wheat market
were again unimportant during the
week ending Friday, Sept. Z.
Light country movement also
made for . further advance in the
cash wheat premiums. Sept. wheat
gained 1-8 cent for the week, clos
ing Friday at 1903 I'D. Very little
good milling quality durum was re-
ceived for the week, it was only due
to the fact that . quiet demand pre-
vailed for semolina that premiums
were held in check. Duluth Sept.
durum declined 81 cents for the
week, closing Friday ct 100.
Corn receipts were much larger
than the week previous and prem
iums were somewhat lower, cash
prices declining in spite Of an ad-
vance in Chicago options. No. 8
yellow corn at the close was quot
able at SO IL to 80 1-2, compared
to 80 to 100 . week ago.
Oats were strong. Country move
ment continued well under what it
was . year ago. Sept. oats i'd
vanced one cent, closing at So Sd.
Barley futures were somewhat
lower on account Of liberal hedging
pressure. The cash market tone
averaged firm, however. Sept. bar
ley declined 2 1-8 cents, closing at
50 7-8.
Receipts Of rye showed some gain
in volume with cash demand not q
strong as last week. Prices ruled
easy to fractionally lower. Sept.
Rye declined 7-8 cent, closing IT
80 1-6.
The movement Of flax from the
northwest was liberal for the week
and this brought on considerable
selling pressure but the demand
from crushers was good and prices
suffered but little. Flax declined
/ IA cent closing at 200.

BY JAMES r. KIRBY

Chicago, Sept. 8.-Within the past
year q manufacturers with payrolls
aggregating $l0,0OO,OOO moved out
Of Chicago because they would not
or could not pay the tribute de-
manded by the racketeer, according
to information compiled by the Chi
cago Chamber Of Commerce.
Out Of the maze Of ingenious rack
cts operating in Chicago it is diff
cult to single out the most glaring
example of effrontery on the part OF
the racketeer, who uses dynamite and
stencil bombs, KIDNAPPING and may
hem to enforce his demands.
Take building excavation as an
example. Engineers employed by
the racket, according to Walter G.
Walker, former assistant states at
torney and now counsel for the EN-
ployers' association, survey the area
to be excavated and then notify the
contractor that he should add suf-
ficient to his bid to guarantee 5
cents per cubic yard to the racket.
The average contractor has learned
by experience that it is cheaper to
comply with this demand than to at
tempt to reconstruct steam shovcls
and engines after the job has been
sprinkled with "pineapples,' as
bombs are called.
Retail fish dealers have learned
that the racket's price is cheaper
than stencil bombs thrown into their
stores or kerosene spilled over bins.
Fruit and vegetable dealers, with
practically no police protection, have
decided it is better to pay than to
suffer similar or worse fate.
Cleaners Highly Organized
The cleaning and dyeing industry
is the most highly organized and
perhaps the most lucrative to the
,racketeer. It's ramifications are
amazing, and include four distinct
groups Of employers and employees

to appear to contradict the ordinarily
accepted divisions of capital anc
labor.
In the retail group employer ant

Car Strips Off Skirt
Leaving BIushing
Girl in Street

If this happened on the stage
you would call 1t just another
skit to add a comedy touch to
the play.
Scene: Fifteenth and New York,
Avenue. Time. about five minutes
to nine. Clerks hurrying to work
intent on reaching their desks
before the stroke Of nine.
A dainty miss dressed in one
of those wrap around skirts that
depend on snap to keep them
together stepped from the curb.
An automobile turned the corner.
She stepped back. The skirt swirled
bit and hooked over the bumper
of the car.
A shrek, a flash of pink and
the young lady stood there
watching her skirt going down
Fifteenth Street. And the worst
part of it was there was nothing
available to cover her embarrass-
ment.
So that dear reader is the rea.
son most of the men in that
vicinity were late for work today.

Along the northern border Of the

along the Rio Grande, theirs may
be showers, but along the eastern
seaboard nothing but fair weather
and mild temperatures are in the
1offing.
