Blow Is Launched at Rail Securities WASHINGTON Oct. B.—Marketing of railroad securities probably will be made more difficult officials said here today, by the ruling of Controller of the Treasury Warwick, that payments to any road under the guarantee clause of the transportation law may only be made in full at one time. \ Advance oi part of amount may not be made to the treasury, even though requested by the Interstate Commerce Commission, except under Very limited conditions. Warwick ruled. • l The ruling is expected to complicate still further the question of railroad financing because few roadsaill be able to 'put in claims to the Interstate Commerce Commission In complete detail Under several months. For the Treasury Department the ruling will provide temporary relief from the question of where to get the money to pay the railroads. Advance payments of approximately $130,000 000 were made by the treasury up to Sept. 1. The question of jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission and the State commissions over rate making, which for a time threatened to reduce the railroad revenues, now is being thrashed out in each State. In many States the local utility commissions refused to advance passenger anil , Pullman rates to conform to the standards set up by the recent ruling of the Interstate commerce Commission.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1920.
Says Farmers Will Lose by Big Crop Oct. B.—Profits expected by farmers on a good corn season hav been wiped out by a bumper crop and panicky price conditions, IS. W. Snow, grain crop expert, said here today. Snow predicted heav.y financial losses for corn growers. The crop this year Snow said, was an exceptionally larfcc one and of fine quality. “This means a loss to the farmer,” said Snow, “figuring 05 a basis of wages paid farm hands and the general production cost's.” The decline in wheat. Snow believes is only temporary. He predicted wheat will sell again at high figures before another crop is raised. “The world supply is below any reasonable expectation of world demands,” he said. “The severe break injivheat prices was not due to the demand and supply situation in wheat. “It represented the general panicky price declines and In all probability wheat will again sell at high prices before another crop is raised." That the 1920 corn crop is a record breaker was the belief expressed today by Henry Cox,'Government weather forecaster for the Middle West. Cox declared the long summer resulted in the production of a 90 per cent crop where It had been figured the best that could be obtained was a 75 per cent crop. “The wonderful September weather in the Middle West dkl more to lower prices of necessities than anything else." said Cox. “It forced declines In grains and contributed more to knocking the H out of the H C L than any other single thing,” he declared. On Commission Row Produce Is moving swiftly now on the wholesale produce market under the Influence of the keen edge of the cool weather that has placed more life In almost every kind of business. One thought of Thaqksglvtng and tur-' key today when be strolled along the row and could see here and there a barrel of cranberries. Although not *s good as those that will come on the market a- little later, the cranberries now on the market are of fair quality, selling at $lO a barrel and $3.50 a bushel. Now Italian chestnuts are now on the market and It will be only a matter of a short time until there will be a good supply of nuts on supply. Reports state that there will be a good crop of shell bark hickory nuts, walnuts. hazel nuts and others in the State this year. There Is now a noticeable difference in the-Rrade of peaches that are coming on the%narket. They are smaller than they w*re and do not ripen nearly so well. The flavor, too. Is not as good as It was generally. This can be expected, however, for the peach season cannot last much longer. There was a fairly good supply of Kelfcr and Bnrtlet pears on the market, Kelfprs bringing $1 a bushel and Bartlets $2 75'.. t 3.

ENGLAND LOOKS FOR HARD WINTER Many ex-Soldiers of Empire Out of Employment. By EARLE) C.-REEVES. International News Servloe Staff Correspondent. LONDON, Oct 8. —England 1* drawing In It* belt for a hard winter. There are manifest signs of the reaction from the flurry of post-war prosperity predicted recently by Otto H. Kahn, the banker, on his return to New York from a tour of Europe. The. signs are here, many of them intangible as ye(, but some are only too concrete. / There are 200,000 unemployed ex-sol-diers still, despite all the efforts of various organizations to place thees men who have won the best consideration of the nation. Now and again appear report* of small plants closed down or larges one* cutting down their staffs. In the city the market muddle* along, held In the deadly dullness that accompanies unceralnty of outlook. From Manchester and Liverpool, the industrial and shipping centers, come reports of pessimism. Business 1* stagnant compared to the level of sales a few months ago. Such bits a* these tell the story of Britain's first realization of a. bad winter In prosphet. Another sign that 1* alway* sure 1* the discussion, In column lengths, la certain newspapers, of expansion of certain road building schemes to relieve the present and anticipated' unemployment. We are familiar In America with the initiation of such movements. They generally accompany the first signs of what we know as “panic years.” “This winter," say* the Daily News, “We are in for a bad time, which will be rendered much worse from the fact that wages hare been giving a mad lead to the cost of living since the armlatice was signed. “Cost of living, as might be expected, retains an easy lead and is going to play n big' part In the economic aspect of tb* troubles that are now ahead.'* There has been no visible break hen* In the steady climb In the coat of living. *Sbe widely advertised crash In the cost of such things as clothing In America two or three months ago raised hopes that the turning had arrived here. But the official cost of living figures of two succeeding months showed the usual 5 to 7 per cent lncieaie over the month previous. Capital Is beginning to turn. During the period when foreign and domestic trade seemed able to stand price increases, wage demands were met, after the usual bickering, with wageSncreasea. Today manV manufacturers with an eye on the order books are ready to stand and fight. The world still cries for products of all kinds, but manufactures claim that the limit In prices which the world market will stand has been reached, and

that they will close rather than meek, further wage claims. There will be great Increases in the unemployment lists. j§ The upward climb of wages la to be, checked. . r , But a* yet there is not visible even the ■tart of a decline In the cost of necessities which should be the companion of approaching “hard time#.” J Many classes of labor will be squeezed between a stationary Income —declining even as members of families enter the ranks of the unemployed—and a steady or perhaps steadily mounting cost *£ existence. The temper of labor is already restis% for the worker these days sees ahead and • ttooe-n r-s prospects. A few days ago a mile-long parade of Straggling glrla, four abraast, presented to London a pitiful sight of labor’s battles. They were waitresses and cooks In tha largest chain of cheap restaurants In London. They sang to keep up coprage, but they were beaten. Unskilled and flanked throughout the city by thoua&uda anxious for Jobs, the strikebreaker broke their strike. On the curbstone thousands watched. “Well see a lot more of this before the winter le over,” was a frequent remark.
