Hays Socialism
L rges People to Beware of So
1 ailed “Progressive” Move
ments Sweeping Country.
By Associated Press.
New York, May 17, — Many pro
gressive movements of today are only
progressive in name and, underneath,
show plainly their socialistic origin,
Hen W. Hooper, chairman of the
United States railroad labor board,
declared here last night before the Na 1
tlonal Association of Manufacturers.
"There are a lot of wild-eyed radi
cals and demagogues in this country
who believe they can sell any kind j
of idea to the people by labelling it
'I‘regressive’,” Chairman Hooper said
We all like that word, progressive, j
but it will pay the people to take a
good look at the political wares that
are brought around bearing our favor
ite label."
Mr. Hooper described socialism as I
"an insidious cult," standing at the
elbow of every man who harbors an
individual grouch or class grievance,
real or Imaginary, and whispering
into his ear distrust, suspicion and
bitterness against the Institutions of
his Country. It charges every failure
and disappointment to the present
organization of society.
lias Many Ulilacs.
"Socialism presents itself in many
guises," he said. "To the wealthy
female contributor of funds, who in
herited a bunch of money but no
brains, It Is a lovely fad, a temporary
substitute for the poodle pup with
the golden collar, an opportunity to
shock a blase spirit with a bizarre
thrill.
“To the unsophisticated preacher it
is altruistic uplift, a chance to escape
from tho monotony of preaching sal
vation, to transform the pulpit into
the platform. To the republican or
democratic politician who desires to
continuo to wear his party robes 1
while he preaches radicalism it Is
merely ‘progressivelsm.’
"To the radical red It Is plan com
munism without ruffles or frills.”
Opposes Court Changes.
Recent proposals to require seven
members in nine or two-thirds vote j
of the supreme court to declare a law
unconstitutional are more conserva
tive but Identical in purpose with
that proposing to make congress the
judge of the constitutionality of its
own enactments, Chairman Hooper
said.
“Under such a provision.” he said,
"the legislative branch, of brief and
uncertain tenure, subject to the wild
blasts of sudden and fleeting popular
passion, might, by a majority of
one, pass a law that undermined the
most sacred constitutional safeguard
of human liberty and that majority
might be composed of radicals elected
by European bolsheviks in New
York, Chicago or Milwaukee.
“Speaking, as I believe ths senti
ments of the great mass of the Ameri
can people away from the metropoli
tan centers of population who hold in
reverence the traditions of our re
public. the people who do not give a
tinker's damn for the voting strength
of all the flannel-mouth agitators and
malcontents of your cities, our coun
try Is not yet ready to curb or handi
cap the supreme court in order thaU
the constitution may be subverted
and broken down."
Women Would Curb
Power of Supreme Court
Washington, May 17. — The United
States supreme court, by invalidating
the minimum wage law of the District
of Columbia, has potentially depress
ed wage standards of all the 9,000,000

posed methods to be studied.
2. Amendment to the federal con
stitution for the broad purpose of in
suring protection of social legislation
and the rights of labor.
3. Amendment of the federal con
stitution so ns to give to the states
and congress power to enact mini
mum wage legislation.
4. Enactment of minimum wage

peals has granted Mrs. Ethel C.

Omaha Grain I
Omaha, May 17.
Total receipts at Omaha were 25
cars against 111 cars last year. Total
shipments were 127 cars against 143
cars last year.
Cash wheat on tile Omaha market
was In good demand, prices unchang
ed to 10c higher. Corn was also in 1
good demand at 1 to 2 cents higher '
prices. Oats were about unchanged
from yesterday. Rye was quoted un
changed. Barley, nominally un- ;
changed.
Prices in the Chicago futures mar
ket were irregular but with an up
ward tendency during the early deal
ings. There were damage reports re
ceived from Kansas which caused a
spurt but this advance was taken ad
vantage of by local operators to put !
out short lines and the bulges did hot ,
hold. The trade was mixed and play
ed both sides of the murket. Rater
in the day when reports of deteriora
tion from Kansas continued to come
in they could not be ignored and in
consequence the market took a decid
ed upward swing with the early
sellers the best buyers to cover
shorts.
The advance however was short j
lived and final prices were not much
Changed from yesterday.
George M. Recount wires from Terre ’
Haute, Ind.: The beRt wheat terri
tory in Illinois is in fairly promising i
condition. From Danville some very !
thin fields, but in general crop is !
about an average. Oats looking good.
Creeks are swollen; Wabash river bot
toms flooded; some damage will result.
Fields are muddy; no work being
done. Unless weather clears at once,
think considerable corn replanting
will be necessary.
Message from Kansas City says: It
was the consensus of opinion of grain
dealers who attended the grain deal- ,
ers- meeting at Topeka that the state
would raise much less wheat than the
115.000,000 bushels forecasted by the
government May report. Some look
for only 85,000,000 bushels.
Kansas Wheat Stunted — Message:
from Hutchinson, Kan., says: There
is a widespread feeling that our wheat
crop is not as promising as a few
weeks ago, reaching booting stage in
large areas, showing stunted condi
tion, with indications of heading out
short and undersized heads.
Message from Kansas City says:
Good deal of talk around floor of
excessive number of chinch bugs in
eastern Kansas and doing severe dam
age around Valley Falls.
James Ford Bell, vice president of
Washburn & Crosby, will explain In
detail his campaign to Increase the
domestic consumption of wheat in his
address before the Biscuit and Crack
ers Manufacturers' Association of
America, on Friday. Ills speech will
be broadcasted from the Board of
Trade radio station at the Drake
hotel. Practically all millers and
bakers of the country are supporting
.he "eat more wheat movement.''
Export demand Bussells’ News
wires: Yesterday's export wheat sales
were larger than reported and were
estimated this morning at upwards of
(iOO.OOO bushels, although it was felt
that this was largely covering of
shorts. Export demand overnight
was again decidedly quiet, with little
or no business reported, and with the
continental cables slow in coming in.
Weekly weather and crop report,
Washington, D. C.: Corn planting
progress made some headway, al
though delayed by rains and cold
weather. Probably half of the plant
ing has been done, but very little is
up, for the ground was at first too
dry and then too cold. The ground is
mostly ready, but farmers are wait
ing for warmer weather.
Winter wheat, oats, barley and
spring wheat are all doing well,
though the spring grains showed
slight effects of the freeze.
A cargo of new crop wheat was re
ported worked to Germany, August
shipment, the first good sized trade to
come to light. There was scattered
business in small lots, with France
also reported a buyer, and sales In ail
positions estimated at from 300,000 to
400,000 bushels. Very little corn or
rye business was traceable.

Chicago, May 17.—Conflicting crop
report* from the southwest late today
served to take the edge off the wheat
market after prices had hit a new
high level on the movement and
started a reaction under heavy profit
taking. The close found early gains
about forfeited. It was mainly a local
trade throughout the entire session.
Wheat closed %o lower to He
higher, corn Ho higher to Ho lower,
oats He higher to %c lower, rye un
changed to He down and barley fin
ished steady.
Pressure on wheat was light most
of the day. but when tin buying
power gave out the market dropped
of its own weight. There was no
dearth of damage reports, estimates!
of reduced yields and forecasts of
smaller production from the south- I
west. While this was helpful to the,
bulls, it took hut a few contradictory
advices to change the outlook.

The winter wheat crop gem rally is fast
nearing the critical stag.- of growth. in
Missouri it Is in the jointing slag.- it

Bons frotn now on will prove a vital in- I
f i nonce ip the price awing*. Inasmuch 1
ns Ihe crop is from one to three weeks
late in the targe producing sections of
the southwest, it would appear as though
favorable weather will have to dominate i
in order to bring the crop along to mi- i
turit> in sea eon. At best, th- crop is
far from ensured from big loss and
weather developments will likely t f0j '
lowed keenly by the trade from now «*n. :
r lour trade in t ho northwest was pro- j
noumed more active today and Mocks at |
Minneapolis continued to dr- ias( for
five days being lowered 42‘>.fM)ft bushMs

through the northwest s*nt in a dm. is
that considerable of the wheat was al

With the stock market displaying
firmer lone in the late session, reports

By I hivm-hhI HmlM.
N*>w York. May 17.—Existence of j
;i. stale speculative interest in the |
stock market was most graphically il
lustrated during today's session when j
prices moved within a narrow range j
and total transactions dwindled to the I
smallest volume for any full session I
in many weeks.
Bear pressure was the lightest for
weeks but those on the constructive
side failed lo manifest any aggressive
ness in the face of the cessation of I
offerings. In tlie ahsenee of a will- 1
ingness by either party to make ad- j
ditional commitments the general Ust 1
was irregular but with most sharew j
showing slight improvement.
The undertone was strong most of
the day but toward the close prices]
• ascd off more because of lethargy
than weakness.
Money Itat* Ignored.
Th«* e-eneral market was IhiphukIva to
tn • day's news which included unfavor
able as well as bullish developments. Lit
tle or no attention was paid to rhe 4 per
"tit call money into or to dividend in
creases by t hre** companies
Announcement of a reduction In crude
oil production for the week ended May 12.
of !M H00 barrels, due largely to ;t drop of
15,000 barrels in California, output, was
also passed over without any comment.
'Mp- fact that prices fail to respond to
• ith* r bullish or bearish developments in
di atos dearly that the speculative ac
count hes yon»* stale for the time being
Some scattered liquidation of the copper
shares appeared in the afternoon when
announcement .was made that some sales
of copper metal had been made at IB ** «•,
a reduction of one-fourth of a cent.
Anaconda was offered in liberal volume

v.rtiblo bonds wore also inclined to sag
Lnsolinn Price* Cut,
Failure of the general list to display '
any resiliency following the recent sharp
break leads many to believe that much
or the stock sold recently was really for
lonv account and not short selling.
' >r> fbe price of gasoline by the
Sfaridaid Oil of New York, the Texas
company and the <iulf Refining were in
Imo with expectations and failed to cause
ar. v unset tleinent in the oil shares

weather conditions and better quotations 1
in Liverpool.
