GRAIN PRICES CLOSE LOWER Good Weather Reports Principal Market Influence. CHICAGO, April 19.—Grain prices were generally lower in trading In the Chicago grain market today. Reports that weather was favorable to an abundant grain crop led to selling on a large scale. Provisions were Irregular. May wheat opened off 2c at $1.22% and declined an additional %c at the close. July wheat opened down l%c at $1.04 and closed lc lower. May corn opened off %c at 50%c and declined %c at the clog*. July corn opened off %c to 59% and later declined %e. September corn was off 3%c at the opening of 59%c and advanced l%c at the clase. May oats opened off %c at 36%c and closed unchanged. July oats opened at 37%c, off %c and closed unchanged. September oats opened off %c at 38%c and closed %c higher. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —April 19—, Wheat—There being no unfavorable news from the growing crop of wheat, the market has experienced no demand except from export sources. It Is apathy on the part of the general public that is the weakest factor in the present situation: Today’s export sales are authentically reported as high as one million bushels and some estimates ruu os high as two million. There has been buying of the May wheat in sufficient volume to corroborate the conservative estiuiute. It is true that primary receipts are liberal, none the less, so much of It is destined to export ports that new buyers are compelled to pay strong premiums. This is the case even in-, the Winnipeg market, where choice wheat is selling at the hlgest premium on the crop and more than 40 cents over the (.'hlcago May price. The heavy movement to tha seaboard can mean only one thing, namely, ultimate shipment abroad. It 1* significant to the extent that it confirms the many reports of export business previously done. The visible’ supply is far below an average and half of it is located at seaboard ports Even though there be no revival of broad interest in the marker. 1; would seem as though the cash situation and the constant new export business must, ultimately, affect prices. Corn and Oats—The situation iq cash corn is steadily although slowly, improving. The No. a grade, which sold so freely at 5 to 6 cents under the May, is now selling around 2 cents under the May delivery, is lessening Us discount under the July. The chief demand is from exporters. Some strength is also gathered from light receipts and refusal of tiie country to accept prevailing prices. A few claims of damage to oats are being received from central Illinois. Both of these markets have stubborn undertone, despite thu absence of any broad Interest. Provisions— I There being no eneourag lng news in the way of foreign demand, the provision market has drugged with the grains. It will be necessary to have a considerable betterment in the cash trado If prices are to he stimulated. CHICAGO GRAIN. —April 19WHEAT— Oren. HUh. Low. Close.

CAPITAL PLOTS CRIPPLING OF LABOR, CHARGE Accusation of Vast Plot* Hurled Before Railway Labor Board. RELATES ‘CONSPIRACY* CHICAGU, April 15.—Organized capital Is “on strike” to crush organized labor and has deliberately planned an era of unemployment, hunger and distress to accomplish this purpose, W. Jett Lauck, economist, for the railway employes charged in a brief presented to tho United States Railway Labor Board today. The railway employes played their card today when Lauck filed his exhibit, entitled “Human standards and railway policy.” Lauck charged that a small group of bankers and financiers control the entire railroad Industry and closely allied industries and that tb?yv are in a criminal conspiracy to crush labor. Through a vast system of Interlocking directorates, Lauck’s brief alleges, the firm of .1. P. Morgan & Cos. virtually controls tho entire financial situation as It affects the railroads. Twenty-five men, the statement declares, divide 193 class one railroads. This coterie of Interlocking directors, Lauck alleges, have absolute control over 211,280 miles of railroad, or 82 per cent of the entire railroad sya-* tern of the country. CHIEF. OFFENDERS' INTERESTS GIVEN. Roberts Lovett, William Rockefeller, H. W. Deforest, A. H. Smith, O. F. Baker and H. S. Vanderbilt were named as the chief offenders. Lovett, It was charged, is a director of twelve roads; Rockefeller, Deforest and Smith, of eleven, and Baker and Vanderbilt of ten each. These directors, It was also pointed out, control twenty-two of the largest steel and equipment plants of the country In connection with banks and railroads, Including the United States Steel Corporation. Fifty-five directors knit fifteen of New York’s biggest financial Institutions together and to the firm of J. p; Morgan & Cos. it was declared. Summarized the charge of the railway employes Is that a circle of banks, railroads, cement, steel and other industries has been welded together into a gigantic conspiracy to control basic materials, rail transportation and finance and to beat down labor.

“ON STRIKE TILL LABOR COMES TO ITS KNEES." “The present Industrial situation of paralysis which has staggered America,” Lauck’s statement declares, “Is the result of a strike of organized capital against society and capital, nationally and internationally organized and concentrated, which takes the stand capital shall go on strike until labor comes to its knees and consents to sweeping re- J ductlons of wages and also consents to surrender its right to bargain collectively on a scale co-extenslve with the organization of the employes. “This evidence shows that there is a capital combine of the major banks, railroads and industries, controlling basic i materials and that this combine has and exercises a power over the economic destiny of the United States. This interrelated capital group deliberately ’deflated’ the farmers and then undertook by precipitating industrial stagnation to 'deflate ’ labor. “This evidence shows that within one and the same Identical capitalistic group lies the power to adjust or misadjust relative prices in a manner that will stimulate or suppress Industrial activity.” CHALLENGE l NCONSCIONABLE MISUSE OF POWER. The railway employes make no Issue, the statement says, of the propriety or possible necessity of a centralized system of economic coordination, but they “challenge the unconscionable misuse which this great coordination has made of Its power.” “The great national paradox of the banking-rallway-lndustrlal combine and It* profits is thrown into bold relief," the statement continues. ‘‘The railroad# pleading poverty. The banks ara making unprecedented profits and declaring unprecedented dividends. The same applies to steel, coal,_ railway equipment and similarly situated concerns. “The capital combine. In preparing to precipitate unemployment, adopted a policy that the.zallroads should “do it first;’’ railway > Improvement programs were deferred; i-allway maintenance was reduced below/minimum legal requirements; a kink Svas put in the purchasing power of the • Atierlcam people and the Industry was head on into stagnation. ) i “The welfafe of 4,000,000 workers and their families, s totaling another 12,000,000 or 15.000,000- nearly one-fifth of our population—is at the meicy of those whose misguided financial policy can plungs them into unemployment."
