CHICAGO. November 21-wheat
quickly established a new price record
for the season today, with July con-
tracts going above $105.
Although July wheat. representing
the 1887 domestic crop. had closed at
an advance on three successive previ-
GUS days. the fact that widespread
duststorms Northwest were again re-
ported this morning did much to
arouse new speculative buying. Fur
ther incentive came from the fact that
there was no appearance of adequate
moisture to relieve droughty condi-
tions either there or in Winter wheat
regions West and Southwest More
over, Chicago had visible evidence Of
the severity of the duststorms, air here
containing dust to an unusual degree.
Gables from Buenos Aires, mean
while, told of unwelcome rains in
Northern Argentina. where harvest
operations were under way. 1t was
pointed out that rains there threaten
both the quality and the quantity Of
the crop. Swing additional impetus
to wheat market unturns we're as
sertions that high prices for corn,
especially in the West and Southwest
meant much larger use of wheat az
feed.
Corn, rye and oats, as we'll as wheat,
surpassed the seasons previous peak
quotations. Talk was heard that the
greatest possible import of Argentine
corn this season would not supply
United States requirements.
Provisions held about steady.

The voice vote in support of Rickert

The amalgamated has 100000
workers, the U. G. w. about $4,000.
Leaders said most of these were in
work clothes plants, and Martel
shouted during the boycott debate

consulate was likely to be closed and
that those who continue to stay in

There was speculation here over

on the drastic action of closing the

NEW YORK, November 21 CP).-
A statement issued today from gen.
ersl Offices of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America called
the American Federation of Labor's
intended boycott of clothing bearing
the amalgamated official union label
"an act of rash impotency."
The boycott was voted at the A. F.

day after the federation's executive
council in its report had indorSed the
label of the United Garment Workers
and condemned the amalgamated for
adopting another label
The amalgamated is affiliated with

pension by the A. F. of L.
The action Is decidedly un-
warranted, probably unprecedented
and silly" the amalgamated workers

said.
IF the delegates to the convention
had carried out their boycott threat
on the spot" the statement continued,
'most of them would have left the
hall stark naked Surely they
do not expect so million American
males to do likewise.
"The amalgamated is in contractual
relations with 95 per cent of the large
scale employers in the clothing in
dustry and with between 30 and IS
per cent of the entire industry.
IF the resolution had the power it
pretends, 1t would condemn 10000
amalgamated workers to joblessness
and their 2,500 employers to the hands
Of receivers. To attempt boy
cott of label on their garments is an
act of rash impotency.
ANY label for mems clothes other
than the amalgamated label is merely
q pretense. The amalgamated
label is a symbol of civilized indus
