Clearing skies shortly DeIore
noon made the opening game
between the Washington Griff-
men and Philadelphia AS a
definite item today, and the
official announcement from
club headquarters was that the
"show is on" beginning at 3
o'clock.
The teams were to take the
field despite soggy condition OF
the outfield, soaked from an all
night rain.
President Roosevelt was to
throw out the first ball, and Vice
President Garner was to lead the
parade of the teams to the cen
ter field flagpole to help Clark
Griffith, president of the Wash
ington club, hoist Old Glory.
A colorful, oisy, and eventful
program had been arranged so as
to entertain even the most exact
ing of the 10000 or more fans ex-
pected to mill their way into the
spacious confines of the familiar
Seventh and Florida Avenue ball
park.
Dignitaries ON Hand
AS usual, an imposing army
of dignitaries were on hand to
help Joe Cronin and his boys
get off to a flying start.
President Roosevelt was slated
will be in the presidential box
to throw out the first ball at
about 1855 o'clock.
The game itself will find two

50 HOUR BILL
CHANGESDUE

After a two-hour session be-
hind closed doors of the House
Labor Committee today, secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins
said she "hoped and believed"
that a modified five-day week
bill can be passed in the present
special session of Congress.
Her statement followed dis
closures at the White House
that President Roosevelt favored
the principle of short-week legis-
lation to spread employment,
although he has not specifically
indorsed the Black 30-hour bill.
While generally sympathetic to
the philosophy Of the bill, PreSi-
dent Roosevelt told inquirers that
no decision had been reached as
to whether 80, SO, or 44-hour
plan might be best calculated to
meet existing labor conditions.
One of the things to be guarded
against, in Mr.. Roosevelt'S opin-
ion, is that shortened working
hours does not tend to increase
production, as has happened in
some cases which have come
under the Presidents observation.
With the general principles Of
the Black 30-hour bill, President
Roosevelt is in sympathy.
With the Administrators view
point thus set forth, Secretary Of
Labor Perkins prepared to go be-
fore the House Labor Committee
behind closed doors this after
noon and suggest changes in the
existing measure.

"Good Neighbor" Theme, Part
of His Inaugural Talk, Used
In Pan-American Speech

The state of virtual warfare
now existing between four
South American republics was
decried by President Roose-
welt today as "a backward
step" initiating against pro-
motion Of mutual understand.
ing and cooperation in the
Western Hemisphere.

the governing board Of the union
representing the 81 republics con-
cerning the conflicts now raging
between Paraguay and Bolivia
and Peru and Colombia.
Hits Trade Barriers
He went back to his inaugural
address for a text which had to
do with. "the policy Of the good
neighbor" and said:
''In this spirit of mutual un-
derstanding and of cooperation
on this continent, you and I can.
not fail to be disturbed by any
armed strife between neighbOrs.
do not hesitate to say to you

First Public Talk
He continued:
1--WE, all Of us, have peculiar
problems, and, to speak frankly
the interest Of our own citizens
must, in each instance, come
first. But it is equally true that
it Is of vital importance to every
nation Of this continent that the
American governments, individu.
ally, take without further delay,
such action as may be deemed
possible to abolish all unneceS-
Sary and artificial barriers and
restrictions which now hamper
the healthy flow Of trade be.

Sees Dollar Wheat
Before Years End

New York, June 20.-(P-
Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas
looks for dollar wheat by the
end Of 1888.
Cheerfulness about the future
was the keynote Of an interview
given Monday by the Republican
senator, veteran in the fight
for remedial farm legislation.
He said commodity prices
should continue to rise, thus in
creasing employment and wages.
Wheat that sold at 80 cents a
bushel last year at this time now
sells around 60 cents, and he said
that by the end of the year 1t
will yield the farmer ST..
Asked whether the latest farm
legislation, with its bonuses for
acreage curtailment, would work,
he said:
Il think that In the hands Of
Secretary Wallace, a high-class
man and the ablest agricultural
economist we have in the west,
that 1t Is bound to work."
He said that this country goes
up or down as agriculture goes,
and increased purchasing power
on the part of the farmer will be
reflected almost Immediately In
all branches Of business"

More than " cents a bushel was
clipped from the days top figures for
wheat. Numerous crop damage re-
ports from American and Canadian

Sept. so to so 1-8. Oats unchanged to

Trim 20 cents decline to rise of 80
cents.
Enlarged selling on advances led to
setbacks which were unchecked by re-
ports that only 20 per cent of normal
moisture had been supplied in the Is
corn and wheat states, and that severe
drought conditions were intensified
by extremely high temperatures.
Forecasts pointing to generally cool
er weather acted as an additional
handicap to bulls in all the grain
pits. The downturns carried wheat
and corn to we'll below Mondays
finish. Rye also dipped.
Provisions reflected upturns Of hog

of this monetary reserve In silver:
that debasement by governments of
silver coinage should cease and that
nations with large silver supplies
should regulate sales.
While the Pittman plan was under
discussion by the monetary commit
tee, an American price-raising pro-
gram received strong support in a
British resolution placed by Neville
Chamberlain, British chancellor of the
exchequer, before the committee deal
ing with temporary monetary meas
ureS.
This resolution stressed necessity Of
recovery in the Level of wholesale
prices sufficient to yield an economic
return to producers Of primary COM
modities and to restore equilibrium.
It further said monetary action was
one of the essential points to achieve
this goal and commended that Gen.
trail banks should announce an in

BULLS LOSE FEVER
AND STOCK PRICES
ARE Low AT CLOSE
Early Gains on Wall Street
Wiped Out Despite Con-
tinued Good Business

New York, June 20.-(P)-Bullish
fever in the financial markets cooled
Tuesday despite further weakness Of
the dollar in foreign exchange mar
kets and continued reports of BUSH
ness and industrial improvement.
Earlier gains in stocks of to around
points were shaded or replaced by
similar or greater losses as specula-
tors cashed in sizeable profits. Trad
ing activity dwindled on the decline
Transfers approxi1n a ted 5000, 900
shares.
Feverish trading put the ticker
tape quarter hour behind floor
transactions during most of the fore
noon and gains of l to 2 or more
points were recorded by many lead
ing shares. Extreme advances, how
ever, were shaded or lost as specu-
lators took home some Of their prof
its. 1nflationary enthusiasm appar-
emily was undated.
The British pound sterling showed
an overnight gain of around cents
'at a cable rate of $4.19. European
gold currencies followed sterling
closely. The dollar improved a bit
in late trading. Wheat, corn and cot
tor followed a narrow range. Sec
ondary bonds again pointed to higher
price levels.
The principal share gamers at one
time included Case, American Can,
Celanese, Allied Chemical, General
Electric, Southern Pacific, and Amer
lean Sugar Refining.
Earlier advances were replaced
with declines Of fractions to around
point by General Motors, U. S. In
dustrial alcohol, Union Pacific, Du
Pont, National Distillers and New
York Central.
Aside from the intense interest in
the continued weakness of the dol
lar, markets were watching closely
governmental activities in behalf of
the farmer.
Increased purchasing power of the
agriculturists of the country, it is
:ontended by economic observers, will
be highly important in confirming
the recent strength of commodities
and stocks.

Crops Throughout
State Damaged by
Recent Heat Wave

fering, asserted Boss, whose statement
was corroborated by reports from all
sections of the state. Northern areas
are affected considerably also, he
added.
The heat continued Tuesday.
Even if the central section re-
ceives rain now, some Of the damage
to the small grains is irreparable, y
Boss said. "The grains have started
to head out and the present hot
weather blast has caused considerable
damage.
I'm this same section, pasture lands
and hay meadows are badly damaged
also, as we'll as potatoes. If no rain
comes soon, the potato crop will be
small"
Boss said that every part of the
state was badly in need Of moisture
but the heavier soils OF the southern
portions of the state have resisted the
drought better than the sander parts
in the northern and central part OF
the state.
Heavy Soil Helps
From the Twin Cities, SOUTH" Boss
declared, "the heavy soil has protect
ed the crops from the heat wave to
some degree and the crop damage is
not so severe. But unless that section
gets rain Immediately, heavy damage
is certain.
1.-The northern part of the state is
hit rather hard. But the Red River
valley seems to be in fair shape, as
yet, although I have received no COM
plete reports Of damage in that Sec
ton as yet"
Railroads., grain commission houses,
banks and others which have been
getting daily reports from all parts
of the northwest, report the situation
as serious.
Small grain crops of large area of
South Dakota are gone despite some
rain last night. Reports were that
in some districts rainfall would bene-
fit nothing but corn. which still is in
fair to good condition. Damage from
Is to 100 per cent Is reported. One
Of the hardest hit districts being a.
round Aberdeen. Some grain fields
are being cut for hay.
Montana crops are reported in fair
condition, prospects there being about
the same as in North Dakota. Iowa's
small grain crops have been damaged
but corn still is in good shape. Pas
lures are very dry. Nebraska condi-
tons are nearly as bad as in South
Dakota.
