Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the AS3OclAteo fIesS.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-With actual
wheat quotable at dollar bushel
in Chicago for the first time since
March, 1888, futures prices con-
tinued to advance today, early gains
amounting to as much as cent.
Futures are selling about 7 cents
q bushel below the price of actual
wheat, which is quoted at q pre-
MUM due to comparatively small
market supplies with so much grain
tied up under Government loans.
Shortly after the opening Decem-
ber wheat advanced to 1894 cents,
highest price for any contract since
February, 1898. Yesterday No. 2
red wheat sold 6h cents over the
December price and applying this
relationship to today's market cash
handlers figured No. 2 red wheat
would be worth dollar or more. No
actual sales were reported in early
dealings, however.
While December wheat rose as
much as IN cents, maximum early
gains for May and July were 70 to /
cent. No deliveries of actual wheat
have been made on the December
contracts as yet.
Grain traders expressed belief
that it was possible for farmers to
sell some of the 16l .000, 900 bushels
of cash wheat they have pledged as
security for Government loans.
Actual wheat was quoted as much
as 20 cents bushel above the loan
price in some cases. James E. Ben
nett g. Co. inquired among country
dealers as to this prospect but found
that no loans have been redeemed
recently but that some inquiries
have been received as to what loan
wheat would net at market. The
Door crop outlook in, the drought
district Of the Southwest has en-
couraged the holding policy, traders
said.
No moisture relief was In prospect
for driest sections Of the hard win
ter wheat belt and high winds were
reported blowing dust storms In
some localities.
Other grain prices were about
steady while lard was slightly lower
Premiums quoted in the cash market
for corn and oats over futures prices
tended to support these contracts.

n. |. R. B. Dismisses
C.|. 0. Complaint in
Hiring Of A.F.l. Men
Ship Line Not Unfair in
Tokine On RivoI Unionist'
During Strike. Is Ruling
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The National Labor Relations
Board yesterday dismissed C. I. O.
Union complaint against the Cal
mar Steamship Corp. after finding
that the corporation did not en-
gage in unfair labor practices when
it hired A. F.. of L. seamen to re-
place c. I. o. crews during sit
down strike in 1887.
C.I. .O.'s National Maritime Union
charged that the corporation vio-
lated the Wagner Act by changing
crews on 10 of its ships carrying
steel and lumber to New York
Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore
San Pedro, Calf; Seattle, Tacoma
and Aberdeen, Wash, during the
strike.
The hiring of A. F. of L. seamen
after the N. M. U. crews had staged
sit-down strike on three of the
10 vessels in response to a general
strike order, was not discrimina-
ton, the board held.
It pointed out at one point that
the replacement of the N. M. U
crews was "a measure to insure oper-
alton of the ships" during a strike
which negotiations between the cor
poration and the c. I. o. union had
failed to settle.
Concerning two of the corpora
tion's ships where the crews refused
to work in protest against the re-
moval of N. M. U. members from
other Calmar Line vessels, the board
held that no unfair labor practice
on the part of the employer was
responsible for the strike and that
it was free to replace the crews.
The controversy extended from
September through November, 1887
Board Member Edwin S. Smith dis
sented in part to the dismissal OF
the complaint. He said the strike
had been wholly dissipated" by
October 6 and subsequent replace.
ment of N. M. U. crews was not justi-
fed by fear of further sit-downs.

Romance Of Coins
With 15in Cast
Influence Of Money
On 1000 Years History
Will Be Sketched

"The Romance of Coins" a story
covering . period of history of more
than 1000 years, will be dramatized
by a cast of IS players of the Cross
Roads Theater group over WMAL at
7:3O o'clock tonight. This is an .
other in the educational series spon-
sored by The Star with cooperation
of the National Broadcasting Co. and

Coins have long figured promi-
nently in the history of the world
and the radio program will show
the significance of six famous coins
of the ages including the tetra-
drachum, aureus, denier, fiorin,
guinea and dollar. One of these
changed a government; one made
a little island into a great empire;
another was used in behalf of des-
potism; still another saw the dawn
of new modern era; one meant
little to a philosopher of Rome and
one brought horror and destruction
in an ancient period of bloody con-
quest.
To Re-enact Historic Scenes.
In telling the story of coins
through the years, the Cross Roads
Theater players will re-enact stirring
debates in the halls of Congress,
vital conversations between two
great early leaders of the United
States, Thomas Jefferson and Alex
ander Hamilton; a brief moment in
the life of Charles II of England
and an episode of intrigue and
scheming in the career of the egotis-
tical Lorenzo De Medici of ancient
Florence.
The cast, which put the finishing
touches on the production during
last nights rehearsal, under direc-
ton of Rodney Erickson, N. B. c.
