The wheat in Pike county was planted late in an effort to keep it free from fly. Only a small acreage of early planted wheat was put in. Farmers decline to sell wheat' at the present price. * Rather than take chances of cribbing corn, many farmers have quit shucking, and will let it cure on the stalk. Little corn is being sold here at the prevailing market prices, as farmers decline to sell at 50 to 60 cents a bushel.

CLOTHING FIRMS ' WAR ON UNIONS Employers of Eastern Plants Seek Right to Hire and Fire. — 65,000 ARE NOW JOBLESS Workers Vote to Reject Ultimatum— Factory Owners Order Wage Reduction—Union Leaders Do Not Expect Lockout. New’ York, Dec. 9. —Peace or war in the clothing industry of New York singes on whether the clothing manufacturers will put into force their ultimatum for piece work, reduction Ln wages and re-establishment of the right to “hire and fire” which has been rejected by the unionized employees. War was expected, although during the next several days, negotiations, which are being sought by^llia _ „>». ( tgamated Clothing Workers, may delay the open breach. The employers have the upper hand. But 10,000 of the 65,000 workers have employment, owing to the fact, employers say, they have no orders for spring suits. They further contend they will be unable to operate in competition with other clothes making centers if suggested changes in the working agreement are not made. The workers, half of whom assembled in mass meetings, voted rejection of the employers’ ultimatum, gave their delegates power to negotiate and pledged “in the event that the employers should force a struggle upon us” to put forth “all effort to bring this struggle to a successful conclusion.” Sidney Hillman, union workers’ president, ^as to carry the workers’ reply to the manufacturers. The manufacturers previoulsy had decided to put their ultimatum into effect, whether accepted by workers or not. feeling that with the lack of employment they could well risk such a step. However, union leaders said they did not expect Employers to force a lockout immediately. Many of the 10,000 workers are still employed on part time. , The workers were not instructed to strike in the event the employers put into effect their proposed wage and , work changes, but to report such “infractions” to union officials. Hillman was anxious to learn wheth- । er the employers really desired a test of strength, or merely wished to bar- , gain. “If the employers really want the things they ask for I think they know * they will have to fight for them,” he said. “I think they must know’ we

are not ready to give up the things which have made possible new standards in the Clothing industry.”
