Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press,


CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Wheat price
losses ranging from fractions to as
much as cent led general slow
decline in the grain market today.
May. 1884. wheat contracts were
weakest. Grain men blamed this
partly on shifting of hedges from
September delivery into deferred
contracts and on the fact that even
at low of around s127 May futures
were only cents below the Govern
ment loan rate for No. grades.
Higher estimates of spring wheat,
corn, oats and rye production is
sued by G. M. Calvin, crop expert,
attracted attention and the market
suffered from let up in mill and
-four trade activity, as well as hesi-
fancy pending the Presidents Labor

By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Products
Of the United States Plywood Corp.
have been In such great demand for
various war uses that the company
can supply only fraction of the
material required, Lawrence OF
finger, president, told stockholders
at the annual meeting.
At the same time he disclosed a
serious labor situation facing the
company on the West Coast which
has caused the closing of one shift
with probable loss of 20 to Is per
cent in production.
I'VE have not cnly found it i'm
possible to hold our skilled men
in the face of shipyard cost-plus
contracts Ottinger said, but the
attitude of certain remaining work.
ers has been such as to seriously
hamper our production. This situ-
alton has been further aggravated
by the draft, as our men, though
skilled, have not been deferred. At
other points our labor problems have
been less critical"
