Cash Market Strong

Corn raisers are not content with
the prices they are receiving for
their product and are generally
holding for so cents per bushel with
the prospect that if they get that
figure they'll hold back until the
65-cent mark is reached.
Since the price of corn has fall
len under that of wheat, much more
corn is being fed to livestock. The
strength in the cash market makes
many traders friendly to the grain.
Some interests favor buying oats
mainly because they believe the
price is too low considering its value
as a feed grain. There is a good
cash demand. The trend in corn
plays the dominant role in the oats
pit.

Units of Single Unemployed
Men Will Be Established
in Northern Ontario.

Ottawa (ILNS)-Labor battalions
formed of single men drawn from the
unemployed are to be established to
work in Northern Ontario on high
way construction mainly, Premier
George Henry, of that province, an
nounced, after getting endorsement
for the plan from Senator Gideon
Robertson, Dominion minister of la
bor This follows suggestion of Tom
Moore, president of the T. & l.. Con-
gress of Canada.
1T is not a matter of conscripting
labor" Premier Henry said. "Only
volunteers will be taken into the la
bor units"
Senator Robertson said this method
of taking care of single men and
transients would make it easier for
municipalities, in cooperation with
the provincial and federal authorities,
to provide for the relief of married
men and their families.
An organization of unemployed,
known as "The Labor Reserve" has
been formed here to focus attention
upon the plight of the jobless and to
combat communism.

Hoover to Coordinate
All JObless Relief

Washington - President Hoover,
thoroughly impressed with the sig
nificance of constantly increasing
number of the jobless, has begun a
thorough study of the unemployment
situation with view to bringing
about cooperation of all federal,
state and private agencies dealing
with unemployment and unemploy-
ment relief. 1t is stated the presi-
dent is taking this action because of
the impending hard winter for the
unemployed.
He summoned John Barton Payne,
chairman of the American Red Cross,
and F. c. Croxton, acting chairman
If the presidents emergency commit
tee for employment, to the white
house for reports on unemployment
and unemployment relief.
Payne declares that under it's char
ter the Red Cross cannot take up un-
employment relief. CroXton's COM
mittee is endeavoring to coordinate
unemployment relief agencies and
persuade employers to share avail
able work among all their employees
rather than work certain number
full time and dismiss the rest.
