California Women
to Shun Wet Events

San Francisco. - Many social
leaders of northern California
were joined in adoption of a
resolution by the Women's com
mittee of 5000 here in which they
pledged to refrain from participa-
ton in social functions where the
prohibition law is violated.
After considerable discussion
the committee, in annual conven-
ton, agreed that in case invita-
tions to a social affair were
accepted and liquor was then
served they would only decline
offers to drink and would not
leave.
The committee, which was or
ganized for the purpose of action
in behalf of prohibition law en-
forcement, claims more than 5000
members from clubs, school or
CARNATIONS, the w. c.. T. u. and
social service bodies.

THE WHEAT PROBLEM
(Great Falls Tribune)

An ~easterner, interested in the
marketing of grain, came to Great
Falls a few days ago to investigate
the reports that Montana farmers
near the Canadian boundary are
hauling their wheat into the do
minion, paying a duty of II cents
a bushel, and selling at a price
that nets them from 8 to Is cents
a bushel more than they could get
on the same day al elevators on
this side of the line.
After visiting Sweet Grass and
Coutts he returned here satisfied
that the disparity in prices exists,
but he is at a loss to give a pre-
else explanation. The only theory
he has evolved is that the old line
elevator managers( the Canadian
pool does not buy of A%mericans)
are betting that the price of wheat
is going up considerably before
winter is over. Because there
may be a shortage Of high grade
hard spring wheat in Canada and
because they have plenty of stor-
age facilities, they are paying a
premium to attract quality grain
from across the border.
1t is foolhardy for one who is
not an expert in wheat marketing
to attempt to explain present con-
d%itions, but as many of those who
claim to be experts are not in
agreement on these matters, the
comment Of less pretentious OBJ
servers may not be out of place.
As The Tribune already has
pointed out, the price disparity is
in all probability due to a com
bination of factors. The Can
adian crop of high quality wheat
is short this year. The Canadian
pool is said to have control of at
least IS percent of all that the
dominion produces. The freight
rate on grain from the western
provinces to lake ports is lower
comparable distances on the
American side. All this unques-
ionably is having it's influence On
Canadian prices above.

who falls in love with a beautiful
girl. He is unable to learn her
name but ascertains that she is EN-

for his health.
While on board ship, Denny is
forced to submit to various trials
and iribulations to preserve his in
cognito. These hilarious situations,
combined with the Vaccinations of
a gang of jewel thieves aboard the

one of the most uproarious comedy

BROOKHART FLAYS
FARM RELIEF BODY
OVER LOAN POLICY

Washington, Oct. 2.-The right
of the federal farm board to make
loans to the proposed Farmers Ma
tlonal Grain corporation was chal-
lenged today by Senator Brook
hart of Iowa during examination
OF Sam R. McKelvie of Nebraska,
wheat's representative on the
board by the senate agriculture
committee.
The Iowan said the farm act au-
thorized the board to make loans
to co-operatives and not to corpor-
ations.
Informed by McKelvie that coun.
sci had assured the board its pro.
gram for creating the corporation
was entirely within the law, Brook
hart said:
81 think the board has started
out on an illegal basis right at the
start. Maybe some of us will have
to bring an injunction to test the
right of your counsel to advise
that"
McKelvie said that the Farmers
National Grain Marketing corpora
tion probably would not be prepar-
ed to function, as far as effecting
the price of wheat was concerned,
until next year.

house at Scobey to elect a repre-
sentative to the state convenli ion

Gals. 1t was reported that tw.
cars of potatoes were ordered by
the Peerless and Wesv Fork locals
and by the Ossette and Richland
locals at price from $1.40 to $1.90
a bushel. Since neither car had
arrived the delegates were unable
TO determine which was the better
buy, but it was agreed that coop
erative purchasing was saving the
union members money.

tatoes on car at Scobey, and TO in
form all locals of the prices given,
the locals being given until Oct.

Secret British Document Blows
Up Naval Lobby investigations

Washington, d. c., Oct. 2.-Wil-
liam B. Shearer, lobbyist extraol
dinary, adventurer and star actor
in the naval lobby investigation
that started out with a big flour
lsh, threw a monkey wrench into
the machinery today when he flash
ed on the investigating senators a
photostatic copy of a secret Brit
ish document, pertaining to Amerr-
can naval plans, written by Sir
William Wiseman, chief stoolpig-
con of the British Empire in this
country during the war.
No sooner had Shearer handed
the document 10 Senator Allen, a
member of the committee than the
investigation was called off, slb-
ject to converting at the call of
the chair.
1t is rumored here thai the pres
ident suggested the adjournment
fearing that the contents of the
document if revealed would embar-
rass him in his negotiations with
Ramsay Macdonald as it is gener-
ally believed that it contained mat
ter seriously reflecting on the sin
cerity of the British desire for
relative naval parity.
Turns the Tables.
Mr.. Shearer, under the direction
of his attorney Daniel +. Cohalan,
bitter foe of British Imperialism
and advocate of Irish independence
quickly turned the tables on his
quizzers. In fact Shearer was do
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1929-10-04

+ ing most of the quizzing. He
proved that Charles Schwab and
other shipbuilders in whose en-
ploy he was while boosting for a
larger navy, were brazen liars. He
was intended for the role of goat
but he refused to play.
Shearer testified that stool-pig-
con Wiseman was he head of the
British secret service and is now
in the employ of Kuhn, Loeb and
Company, Wall Street bankers.
Shearer surprised The senator's
with some of his descriptive adiec-
tives. He referred to Charlie M.
Schwab, chairman of the board of
the Bethlehem Steel corporation, as
"the Star of Bethlehem" and. ia
Frank B. Kellogg, former secretary
Of state as NERVOUS Nellie" He
insis ed that Schwab referred to
him Mr.. Homer about doing pub
1926.
He disclosed that since he was
dropped" by the shipbuilders he
has been working for William RAN
dolph Hearst and organizing patri-
otic societies in Mr.. Hearst's
name against American adhesion
to the World Court. But Mr.. Hearst
had "fired" him after the senate
investigation was ordered, Shearer
explained, and "now I am walking
around the streets talking to my
self"
