 Nearly 5O,OO0,0OO bushels of wheat in French and German warehouses was said to be unfit for milling and in Germany rye, supplies have been virtually exhausted, it was declared.
 Italy is said to be buying heavily from Canada and the Federal Farm Board.
 Wheat has shown an increase of 23 cents per bushel in period of a month.

at l pm, unemployed steel workers
and the striking miners will march
into Pittsburgh from all points of
Allegheny and surrounding counties,
in a march against starvation. The
call was issued by the Central Rank

This hunger march will mark one

unemployed miners are an active
part of the strike, participating on
the picket line and joining in the

nands of the unemployed and the
| strikers. The hunger march shows
that the unemployed miners under
stand that the strike against starva-I
ton of 10000 miners under the leads
ership of the National Miners Union
is also a strike against unemplssy-
ment. Only complete solidarity Of
the employed and unemployed will
win the miners better working condf-
tons, and make the fight against
wage-cuts, speed-up and unemploy-
ment successful.
The hunger march in Allegheny
county takes place in the fortress OF
the coal and steel trust, in the cita-
del of the Mellon interests, and fl.
nance capital in these basic indus
tries. In the hunger march in Pitts

from surrounding steel towns viii
participate in the March.
