HYPHENATED PLOT.

A WORD OF WARNING. Australian and V.Z. Cable Association. (Received November 25, 11.40 a.m.) NEW YORK, November 24. The Convention of the American Federation of Labour unanimously voted in favour of an embargo on the export of wheat and other food slulfs until prices are nominal. There is every indication of an attempt to pass such a Bill when Congress is convened on December 4, assisted by German propaganda. The "World" warns Congressmen not to fall into a German-American trap. The embargo would paralyse industry, indicting infinitely greater injury on America than Lhe Allies, and causing new complications at home and abroad.

FARMERS ANTAGONISTIC. Australian arid N.Z. Cable association. (Received November 25, 3 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 24. The convention of the National Grange, the most powerful organisation of farmers, unanimously voted against the embargo on the export of wheat and foodstuffs.
