Entire grain market situation Is show
ing decided strength all through the Pa
cific Nortlyes. Coarse grains are In
more active call and while the 'best
strength is indicated for barley, The oats
demand is increasing. MlUstuffa ar"e In
clined to gain strength as the cost of
wheat Increases.
With premium of le a bushel being added
to the price of. wheat every few days lh the
country by the grain corporation, there ia
growing strength in the flour market and a
farther advance In the price within the im
mediate future is mora than likely. This sit
uation is likewise having its effect upon the
mlllstuff price.
With Increased inquiries for flour from Japan
'and other Oriental point the entire situation is

TEXT OF PRESIDENT'S
(Continued from Page Tan) .
the interests of the whole nation, as dis
tinguished from the Interests of a class,
must .be applied to the solution of this
great "iand pressing problem,
REMOVE GRIEVANCES
"The;, failure of other nations to con
sider this matter In a vigorous way has
produced bitterness and jealousies and
antagonisms, the food of radicalism. The
only wy to keep men from agitating
againsi grievances is to remove the
grievances. An unwillingness even to
discuss these matters produces only dis
satisfaction and gives cbmfort to the ex
treme;, elements in our country which
endeavor to stir up disturbances in order
to prornoke governments to embark upon
a course of retaliation and repression.
The" seed of revolution Is repression. The
remecftr for these things must not be
negative In character. It must be con
structive. It must comorehend the -n.
eral interest. The real antidote for the
unrest, which manifests Itself Is not sup
pression, but a deep consideration of the
wrongs that beset our national life and
the application of a remedy.
"Congress has already shown its
willingness to deal with these indus
trial f rones by establishing the eight
hour say as the standard In every field
of labor. It has sought to find a 'way
to prevent child labor. It has served
the Whole country by leadinar the,
in developing the means of preserving
and Safeguarding lives and health in
dangerous industries. It must now help
in thd difficult task of finding a method
that wlH bring about a genuine democ
rat! ration of industry, based upon the
full recognition of the right of those
who work in whatever rank, to partici
pate in some organic way in every de
cision which 'directly affects their wel.
fare. - It is with this purpose in mind
that I called a conference to meet in
Washington on December 1 to consider
these; problems in all fhelr broad as
pectSjS with the. Idea of bringing about
a better understanding between these
two Interests.
LOOKS TO FUTURE
"The great unrest ' throughout the
world; out of which has emerged a de
mand! for an immediate consideration of
the difficulties between capital and la
bor bflds us put our own house in order.
Frankly, there can be no permanent and
lasting settlements between capital and
labor; which do not recognise the funda
mental concepts (for . which labor has
been struggling through the years. The
whole world gave its recognition and
endorsement to these fundamental pur
posed in the League of Nations. The
statesmen gathered at Versailles recog
nieedj the fact that world stability could
not be had by reverting to industrial
standards and conditions against which
the average workman of the world had
revolted.
Ttj Is. therefore, the task of the states
men jif this new day of change and re
adjustment te recognise world conditions
and to seek to bring about, through leg
islation, conditions that will mean the
ending of age-long antagonisms between
capital and labor, and that . will hope
fully Jed to the building up of a com
radeship whicb will result not only In
greater contentment among: ;the mass of
workmen but also bring about a greater
production and-a greater prosperity to
business itself. 1

his children's wants in the matter of
health and- education. In other words,
it i his desire to make the conditions
of his life and the lives of those dear to
him tolerable and easy to bear. .
The eatabllahment of : the principles
regarding labor laid down In the cove
nant of the League of Nations offers us
the way to industrial peace and concilia
tion. No other road lies open to us. Not
to: pursue this one Is longer to invite
enmities, bitterness and antagonisms
which In the end only lead to industrial
and social disaster. The unwilling work
man ia not a profitable servant. An em
ploye whose Industrial life is - hedged
about bv hard and unjust conditions,
which he did not create and over which
he has no control, lacks that fine spirit
of enthusiasm ' and ' volunteer effort
which are the necessary Ingredients of
a great producing entity.
APPLY KEMEDY FOR UNREST
"Let us be frank about this solemn
matter. The evidences of world-wide
unrest, which manifest themselves in
violence throughout .the world. : bid us
pause and consider the -means to be
found to stop the spread of this con
tagloua thing before it saps the very vi
tality of the nation' itself. Do we gain
strength by withholding the remedy? Or
is it not the business of the statqanen to
treat these manifestations of unrest
which meet us op every hand as evi
dences of an economic disorder, and to
apply constructive remedies wherever
necessary, being sure that in the appli
cation of the remedy we touch not the
vital tissues of our ' industrial and eco
nomic life. There can be no recession
of the tide of unrest until constructive
instrumentalities are set up to stem that
tide.
"Governments recognise the right of
men collectively to bargain for humane
objects that have at their base the mu
tual protection and welfare of those en
gaged in all industries. Labor must not
be longer -treated as a commodity." It
must be regarded as the activity of
human beings, possessed of deep yearn
ings and desires. The businessman gives
his best thought to the repair and re
plenishment of his machinery, $0 that its
usefulness will not be impaired and its
power to produce may always be at its
height and kept in full vigor and motion.
No less regard ought to be paid to the
human machine, which after all. propels
the machinery of the world and Is the
great dynamic force that lies back ofall
industry and progress.
KEW 8TANDABD8 ESTABLISHED
"Return to the old standards of wage
and industry''" in employment are un
thinkable. The terrible , tragedy of war
which -lias Just ended and which has
brought the world to the verge of chaos
and disaster would be in vain if there
should ensue a return to the conditions
of the past. Europe itself, whence has
come the unrest which now holds the
world at bay, is an example of stand
patism in these vital human matters
which America might well accept as an
example, not to be followed but studi
ously to be avoided. Europe made labor
the differential, and the price of it all
is enmity and antagonism and pros
trated Industry. . The right of labor to
live- in neaca and comfort must be rec
ognised by governments and America
should be the first to lay the foundation
stones upon which industrial peace shall
be built.
MUST BE FAIR TO BOTH.
"Labor not 'only is entitled to an ade
quate wage, but capital should receive a
reasonable return upon its investment
and is entitled to protection at the hands
of the government In every emergency.
No government worthy of the name can
play' these elements against each other,
for there is a mutuality of interest be
tween them which the government must
seek to express and to safeguard at all
costs.
"The right of individuals to strike is
Inviolate and ought not to be interfered
with by any process of government, but
there is a predominant right, and mat
is the right of the government to pro
tect -all of its people and to assert its
power and majesty against the challenge
of any class. The government, when it
asserts that right, seeks not to antag
onize a class, but simply to defend the
right of the whole people as against the
irreparable harm and injury that might
be done by any class to usurp a power
that only government itself has a right
to exercise as a protection to alL
ADVOCATES ARBITRATION
"In the matter of International dis
putes which have led to war, statesmen
have sought to set up as a remedy arbi
tration for' war. Does this not point the
way for the settlement of industrial dis
putes, by the establishment of a tribun
al, fair and Just alike to all, which will
settle industrial disputes which in the
nast have led to war. and disaster. 1
America, witnessing, the evil conse
quences which have, followed out of
such disputes between these contending
forces, must not admit Itself impotent
to deal with these matters by means of
peaceful processes. Surely there might
be some method of bringing together in
a council of peace and amity, these two
great interests, out of which will come
a happier day of peace and cooperation.
a day that will make men more hopeful
and enthusiastic in their various tasks,
that will make for-more comfort and
happiness in living and a more toler
able condition among all classes of men.
Certainly human intelligence can de--j
visa some acceptable tribunal for adjust
ing the differences between capital and
labor. -
AMERICA'S HOUR OF TRIAL
"This is the hour of test and trial for
America. By her prowess and strength
and the indomitable courage of her sol
diers she demonstrated her power to vin
dicate on foreign battlefields her con
ceptions of liberty and justice. Let not
her influence as a mediator between
capital and labor be wrecked and her
own failure to settle matters of purely
domestic concern be proclaimed to the
world. There are those in this country
who threaten direct action to force their
will upon a majority. Russia, with its
blood and terror, is a painful object les
son of the power of minorities. It makes
little difference what minority it is
whether capital or labor, or any other
class; no sort of privilege will ever be
permitted to dominate this country. We
are a partnership or nothing mat ts
worth while. We are a democracy where
the majority are the masters, or all
the hopes and purposes of the men who
founded this government have been de
feated and forgotten. In America there
is but one way, by which great reforms
can be accompusnea ana tne reuei
sought" by classes obtained: and that is
through the orderly processes of repre
sentative government. Those who would
propose any other method of reform are
enemies of this country.
America will not be daunted by
threats nor lose her composure or calm
ness in these distressing times. We can
afford, in the midst of this day of pas
sion and unrest, to be self-contained and
sure. The instrument of all reform in
America ts the ballot. The road to eco
nomic and social reform in America is
the straight road of Justice to ail classes)

PRIORITY LIST IS THE BASIS , ,
FOR DISTRIBUTION OF COAL
Washington. Dec . Fuel Adminls ' ", .
tralor Garfield's new order declares
that It ia necessary that coal ' be K
used only tor essential purroees. .
Until conditions change, the dlstrlbu- ,
lion of coal will be limited to the first -'

The first five classes over railways

e: Army and navy and other govern . '

and retail dealers. -
".Dr. Garfield's statement concerning
the, new order, Which is calculated to
intrench the government in its fight tor'
carry the situation through a prolonged
contest, follows:
"It la necessary "that coal shall be
used only for essential purposes. Pub-
lie utilities consuming coal should dis
continue to furnish power, heat and light . ..
to non-essential industries and should "
only consume sufficient coal - to pro- ,
duce enough light, power and heat to ;
meet the actual urgent needs of the . -people.
Advertising signs and displays .
of various kinds necessitating the use '
of coal should be curtailed and no coal
ahould be distributed for such purposes, ' ,, -
"pursuant to this policy I have re
quested the railroad administration tn "'
the distribution of coal now or hereafter .
In Its possession to limit distribution
to these essential and urgent uses. As .
far aa practicable until the conditions-'.:
warrant a change, the distribution of?
coal will be limited to the first five ' 1 ,
classes of the priority list f i
"Retail dealers who distribute coal for '
household requirements, heating, hotels, :
buildings, hospitals, etc, should take, -every
precaution to see that coal le only - -

and then only In such limited quantities ;
that the supplies may be' distributed
widely and prevent suffering." ;
