'Downward Wholesalo Trend
' Soon to Affect Consumer,
Federal Reserve Says
FIGURES GIVEN FOR MAY
, A report of the Federal Reserve Hank
tiff Slay, the latest table the bank hns
mailed, shows the beginning of the
pHc 'decline In vnrlotw staples.
THicse prices are who1eale. and ofR
dais of the bank say that thev really
do not adequately rentcenf the full of
tent of the price drop, since It was Just
beilnnlflg In May and has since shown
more pronounced downward trend.
Thc figures for .Tune nttd the present
month are not available yet.
t Tho prices quoted are the more sig
niflcant, It Is pointed out, when It Is
sMrjMderttt that the margins) will proba
bly be greater when the retail prices
become affected by the new rntes within
ii short time.
One decisive factor in the sharp price
drop, says the July bulletin of the bank,
has been tho extensive cancellation of
orders, particularly In good that go
Into the manufacture of clothing and
ib the finished product Itself. Manv
textile" mills have been forced to Flint
down owing to heavy cancellations of
orders, the bulletin reports.
' Shoes to lie Cheaper
Further to quote the report, ' the
hide and leather markets hac similarly
felt the effects of the cancellations re
ceived by the boot and shoe manufae
turcrs. This has forced the price of
these articles down and indications of a
'continued lessened demand seem to
VShtrtf further reductions In sight, even
though the cost of production Is likely
to rise slightly higher."
In addition to the conservative atti
tude of the consumer, transportation is
field as an important im-iur iii jiiiiuui:-
ing this result, the bulletin says.
' "The cancellation situation, the
bulletin points out. "might be Inter
preted as presaging Industrial depres
sion were It not for certain special cir
cumstances that go far toward explain
ing the prevalence of these cnncelln-
,n,li the first plneo the transporta
tion tie-up remains, as it has been for
several months, the dominant factor to
be reckoned with, and the chief cause
Inhibiting productive nctlvltj. InnWHty
to deliver goods or delayed deliveries
lire sufficient explanatlou for many can-
"Fuel shortage likewise attributable
to transportation difficulties has nKo
led. to a reduction In output in certain
Industries, thereby diminishing the de
mand for raw materials and semi
flriished products. Thee factors also In
evitably react upon the buying power
of those ultimate consumers whose
wages are reduced by a slowing up or
cessation of Industrial activity."
No Cars for Grain Stores
According to a statement of a Fcd
ral Reserve official just back from a
tour of the country, several striking In
stances of the effect of poor transnorta
ttAn were noted. In the Minneapolis dis
trict, he said, $250,000,000 of stock
.and (train Is lying In freight sheds
'awaiting shipment with no cars avail
Able to It.
In Chicago, he said, are 300.000.000
bushels of grain from last year's Iowa
Crop, still awaiting shipment, because
of Inadequate transportation facilities.
Ninety-five per cent of the cars sent
t6 remove the grain, he asserted, were
In Buch a bad statfe of repair thoy weie
not usable. The same, he said, held
gftod of lumber in the northwest. In
spite of this and the reported shortage
of farm labor, he said, bumper crops
were the rule, farmers working oertime
to harvest their crops and being as
sisted in their work by women.
t T fkA Iv fiirnrr. tirnnnrml (tin
downward trend fiom penk prices is
.'shown most decidedly. While In com-.
parlson with pre-war prices and later
prices before the high price ora7e made
Itself fully felt, the present prices nro
high, officials point out that tho de
cline which, will be still mure marked
In later figures, Is a permanent one, and
Is one that will continue
In comparison with peak pi ices corn

32 per cent ; beef in carcass form, 120

PROTECT GRAIN SHIPPERS
Commercial Exchange Rule Absolves
Them of Responsibility In Strikes
As a means of protecting local ship
pers against loss from delay caused by
strikes or lockouts the Commercial" Ex
change has adopted an addition to its
grain rules. The new rule, which al
lows shippers extra time in the event
of a strike, reads as follows :
"Whenever by reason of strikes,
riots, lockouts or embargoes nt this port
or at interior point of shipment or In'
transit to this port it becomes impos
sible to fill freight engagements on a
certain steamer or steamers in time
for such Hteamer or steamers, the ship
per shall not be obliged immediately to
supply cargo, but shall be entitled at
the termination of sUch strikes, riots,
lockouts or embargoes to an extension
of time for delivery to tho steamer or
stenmers equal to the delay in ship
ment or transit resulting from snid
strikes, riots, lockouts or embargoes. "

A
MAYOR WILL ASK
BETTER STATE LAWS
His Directors Aro Requested to
Furnish Suggestions for Leg
islation Affecting City
At n conference with his directors
yesterday Mayor Moore requested each
of those executives to prcpnro sugges
tions for amendments to existing state
laws, new legislation nnd tho rcpenl of
old legislation that would bo beneficial
to Philadelphia.
Tho object of that request, the Mayor
snid after the conference, was to have
hills drafted for submission to the next
Legislature.
"There will bo a better opportunity
in tho next Legislature." said tho
Mayor, "for Philadelphia spokesmen
nnd measures than there hns been In
the past. I have been In conference
with Governor Sproul nnd hnve already
asked that Philadelphia's claims on the
next Leglslnturo be given careful con
sideration. "In tnlking to thc directors I rcforrcd
to ccrtnin changes that might bo de
sirable in existing laws, including thc
new city chnrtcr for instance, tho
prcstnt exemption from thc civil service
of rounty offices. These conditions drnw
heavily upon the taxpayers with respect
to land damages, mandamuses, nuto li
censes nnd other things. Rcgnrding
these thc city seems nt present nt a
dlsndvnntnge owing to state legisla
tion." It Is expected thnt tho Mnvor's re
quest will receive a rently response from
the directors, who frequently find their
departments encumbered and hampered
by nets of Assembly.
MORE BATHING BEACH SITES
Director Sproule Proposes One at
Torresdalo
New suggestions for sites of bathing
benches were nnnounced yesterday by
Mayor Moore after a conference with
his directors.
The Mayor said Director Sproule
spoke favorably of a site at Torresdalo
and "another on the upper Delaware,"
in respect to which he and the director
would confer later ; tho Mayor added
that ho hod proposed to the directors
tho development of the pool nt Hunting
Park, where, he said thero could be
"an ndvancc from wading to bathing".
Director Furbush had suggested bathing
nt Clark Park, in West Philndelphin.
"jjirector luven. of rubllc works,"
thc Major continued, "snid ho be
lieved ho could get the lake nt League
Island Farlc ready for bathing before
the close of the bathing senson.
The Mavor snid lie had discussed with
Director Furbush the mntter of health
in connection with bathing beaches and
thnt he believed "the difficulties the di
rector referred to" hnd been overcome.

Third Intornationalo Urges La-
bor Party to Arm Against
Capitalism
WOULD INVOLVE AMERICA
ny the AMxlftf1 Tre"
London, July .10. Triumph of the
proletariat would involve n bloody rev
olution. British workers must prepare
or civil wnr, nnd tho day is coming
when communism, sweepm """
Kurope nnd cnllstlnft tho eastern na
tions In tho movement, would meet
Grnt Brltniu nnd America in mortal
conflict, according lo a long communi
cation to the Urltlsh Independent La
bor party from tho Third Internationale
nt Moscow, quoted by the London
Times. . , .
Thc eommnnlentlon wns made In reply
to twelve questions sent to tho Moscow
Internationale by the Independent La
bor nnrty. Ono of these questions was :
"How docs communism differ from
other forms of socialism?"
To this thc following reply was
mniic. . , ,
"There nro no other forms. There
Is only communism. Whatever else
goes under the name of socialism Is
cither willful deception by tho lackeys
of the, bourgeoisie or self-delusion by
persons who hesitate to chooso between
the prolcturist and thc bourgeoisie."
Another answer reads in part:
"It is most unlikely tho bourgeoisie
will surrender its power without n
Struggle. J-UCTClun:, mu nuinuin ut
fircnt. Tlritnln should prepare, not for
nn easy parliamentary victory, but for
victory by a heavy civil war."
"Plll mi " "wnrld revolution" nnd
profound distrust of parliamentary ac
tlnn nnnenr in several of tho nnswers.
The concluding pnrt of tho document,
ns quoted by the limes, snys:
"It is probable that when throwing
off the chains of tho capitalist govern
ments the revolutionary proletariat of
Kuropc will meet tho resistance of
Anglo-Saxon capital in the persons of
Urltlsh nnu American capuaii.su), wno
will attempt to blockado it.
"It Is then posslblo tho rcvolutlonnry
proletariat of Kuron will arise in union
with the peoples of the East and com
mence a revolutionary struggle, thc
Kone of which will bo the cntiro world,
to deal tho final blow at British und
American cnnitallsts."
.Tomes Ramsay MacDonnld, former
member of the House of Commons and
one of the leaders of tho Independent
Labor party, commenting on the docu
ment from Moscow, writes:
"The Moscow revolutionists arc no
firesldo revolutionists. When they say
revolution thev mean bloodshed and
violence. Anybody who accepts the
Moscow view ought to havo nothing to
do with the Independent Labor party ;
such affiliation would bo dishonest. Be
fore the Independent Labor party can
join tho Third Intornationalo it must
cease to bo an independent labor party.
Thc Independent Labor party and the
Third Internationale tire oil and wnter
and won't mix.

tions nt the Camden baby "farms" was
urged yesterday by Dr. Eugene O.
Hummel, chalrmnn of the Chamber of
Commerco child conservation comlt

solve the problem, was outlined as fol
lows: First, better parental care; sec
ond, skilled care at birth ; third, com
plete birth registration ; fourth, best
feeding; fifth, adequate and safe milk
supply ; sixth, periodic examination for
defects; soventh, organized efforts to

There arc probably not more thin

Manchuria now, exclusive of thow
around Vladivostok and on Saghalia

.Japan needs tor the purposes she bu
set out to accomplish Is in direct pro
portion to the domination that she
wishes to exercise. Thero need be n
further movement of troops if the states
auo is to be maintained, according to the
belief of officials here, and no more thaa
50.000 soldiers would be necessary la
order to place the entire territory In lie

The position taken by the United
States involves, it is understood, the
stand nssumed when Robert Lanslnt
was secretary of state and the Ameri

Siberia. At that time the exchange of
notcB carried tho announcement that
Japan would remain in Siberia onlr
long enough to carry out the evacua

thnt there wns no intention on thi
part of the ,Tnpnn6sc Gdvernracnt to
seize nny terrltorv.

note thnt this government hnd nddreswd

that this would not change the attitun
