CHICAGO WORKERS
HOMES OPENED TO
FARM DELEGATES

CHICAGO, Ill.-Mayor Edward
E. Kelly refused to see members
of the Arrangements Committee
of the Farmers Second National
Conference. Although the COM
mittee explained that nearly 1000
farmers would be in Chicago, Nov.
1913, each one representing at
least % farmers and their families
from farming sections all over the
country, Mayor Kelly refused to
help them in any way. The Com
mittee requested that the city turn
over 200 cots to be used by the
farmers while in Chicago.
The U. S. Quartermaster in
charge of government supplies il
the city of Chicago, when asked
to supply cots for the delegates al
the Conference replied that "ther'
are no cots available" although i
it we'll known that hundreds of
cots used by military training
camps are kept in Chicago.
In contrast to the attitude o.
municipal and federal authorities
the workers of Chicago are gladl,
opening their homes to the farme
delegates. A great many of tn
delegates will be put up by work
ers and will thus have an oppor
tunity to see how city worker
live.

deputies again turned to Harvey
Witt, now regainin consciousness.
The sheriff's son, a brutal smart
alec rowdy, and the undersheriff
picked him up by the arms, and
Sheriff Olson assaulted him again,
cursing and shouting, II will kill
you, you-son-of -a-bitch." He hit
him several times on the side of
his head. Harvey crunnpled again.
The farmers by this time rushed
in. Elmer Witt, Harvey Wits
brother, rushed to Havey's de-
fence, striking the sheriff in the
neck and chest. The deputies then
closed in on Elmer and knocked
him down with black-jacks.
Scabs Help Deputies
A couple carloads Of anti-strike
farmers, specially deputized, came
up and came to the rescue Of the
officers. The sheriff in his fren-
zie rushed at them and started
blackjacking the man ahead, who
cried out 81 am on your side, don't
hit me-" The melee started. A
number of the farmers got into
action. Stones flew and the Off
GERS received several good punches.
But gas, guns, and riot sticks
drove the unarmed farmers back
to the truck and cars. The sheriff
ordered them to go home. Get off
the roads, and that he was going
to crush the strike.

Montana. North Dakota and South
Dakota gave short talks. In fact
the meeting lasted until nearly !
o'clock. However the meeting was
made up largely of delegates. This
was because it was not known Just

Among Those Asked in
Largest Towns.
-Rr Ahhott. Honnln q 90.

Average bread prices in Indianap-
oils on Aug. 29 were the lowest of
any of forty-nine of the largest
cities in the country, according to
DR.. Fred c. Howe, Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration consumers
counsel.
DR.. Howe, at washington today,
proposed a movement for Standard
cation of bread quality, pointing out
that in many cities change has been
made in weights Of loaves since the
flour processing tax became effec-
tive.
Probably there have also been
changes in bread formulas" he
added, intimating that bakers in
some cities may have increased the
price by lowering quality.
Average bread price here Aug. 90,
DR.. Howe reported, was sc cents
pound, compared with 4.8 cents Feb.
Is. Prices ranged up to go cents in
Scranton, Pa, with no other city
equaling indianapolis low average.
Local bakers, when questioned
about the statement, said retail
bread prices here are 7 cents, but
added that lower prices charged by
some chain stores may bring the
average down to sc cents a pound.

American dollar scared in terms of
foreign exchange. Trading was

The dollar spurted a full cent in

ing foreign appraisal on imitation

reached abroad is that imitation
definitely will be deferred here.
Business news was favorable. The
magazine Steel reported rise of a
point to a. per cent in steel opera
tons for the country and predicted
heavier steel buying this week to get
ahead of fourth quarter price adj
vances. The federal reserve report
ed employment and pay rolls
higher.
United States steel common
dropped Ia points to 4814 on the
first sale, but other steels we're

effect at the start.
Corn followed in the track Of
wheat and was down rs to ~
cents, while oats dropped y to l

Brokers expressed themselves as
of the opinion that wheat would
meet good support on the recession
and that grain is in a position to
respond readily to new develop
mentS, particularly from Washing
ton.
In view Of the unsettled political
and economic trends, it was sug-
gested today that the factor of sup
ply and demand would have to be
disregarded in the wheat situation
for the time being The American
price at present, it was pointed out,
is above the world parity for wheat.
Liverpool is little higher than ex-
pected.

ment is considering the suggestion

UN|0NIzE, PLEA
TO CITY GROUP
Hosiery Workers Told New
Era viii Come From
Organization.

Collective bargaining will mean a
new era for labor, Charles Butler,
Ft. Wayne, organizer, declared at a
meeting of several hundred hosiery
workers Saturday, held to protes@
conditions in local mills.
Unionizing of 10000 workers in
the industry throughout the nation
will give the employees control OF
the wage situation, he said, in urg-
ing the workers to unionize.
Butler attacked company unions.
He traced the history of cheap
labor, blaming competition with
cheap labor in the south for hosiery
mill wage slashes.
The group also was addressed by
Fred Galloway, state representative,
who predicted that thirty days after
local workers organize, they would
receive higher wages. He urged the
workers to buy union-made goods.
The meeting was held at Anal
gamated hall, 1853 West Ninth street.
