Bu United Press CHICAGO, fbly 7.—The bulla still ruled the floor on the Chi--cago Board of Trade and all grains registered gains over Tuesday's final quotations at the close today. Corp showed the most strength, but wheat was not far behind, while oats also gairjpd big fractions. Provisions, however, did not share in the bulge. The Northwestern heat scare has driven the Winnipeg and Minneapolis markets sky-high and their trend was reflected in the local wheat pit when July closed at 137% and gains of from % to lc were held, after prioes had advanced as much as 2 and 3 cents. The sharpest advances were checked by profit-taking. The foreign news, especially the strength of Liverpool, was another cor tributlng factor in the bulge. The mounting southwestern receipts, which at many points are limited only by the number of cars available, seemed to have no effect on the market. There is a good demand from millers and exports for this new wheat and cash prices are generally 2 cents higher. Corn closed from % to l 7 * cents higher today. Small receipts and steady to higher cash prices contributed to the bulge. While crop news Is generally good, the plants are late and some fear was expressed that frosts might touch the corn before It had matured sufficiently. Oats had another dull day. but gained from % to 1 cent lon Tuesday’s close. The lack of real outside interest was noted even more in this pit than in the others. Provisions closed uneven.

SUERS SEEK AID OF UNIONS (Continued From Page 1) and Electric Railway Employes, prohibiting them and “every person having knowledge of this order’’ from interfering with operation of street cars. Five of the men arrested during the night, police said, admitted “cutting loose" with violence^ Denies Advising Violence Harry Boggs, president of the local chapter of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, which voted the strike early Monday, denied advising the rnert to do so, as police declare some men admitted. "I visited each barn last night.” Boggs said, “and the men told me something must be done to stop these cars running; - that too many runs were being made. They asked me what to do. “I told them I wasn't their boss and for them to do what they wanted to.” Boggs said earliest reports from picket-checkers indicated Tretton's estimate that 75 peri cent of cars were running, was abut accurate. The union head declared the ultimatum of car heads giving strikers until 6 p. m. to return to work or lose their *bo far has caused no break in the union ranks. He estimated about 800 conductors and motormen still are on strike, “not more than fifty” having returned to work. Guard Increased Chief of Police Claude F. Johnson ordered tonight's force of police on strike duty increased sixty men. These men were taken off the day strike force. The order puts nearlyi a third of the entire police force on strike duty tonight. Caught with a bale of wire at the Garfield car loop, six men were prevented from throwing the wire over the trolley line to for a short circuit, police said. Such a short circuit would have prevented operation of cars in the northewestern section of the city. Taken to police station, the men signed a statement, according to Acting Inspector Lewis Johnson, that Boggs, the union, president, told them to “cut loose." The men arrested; Oscar Southern, 21. of 137 McLean PL; Everett Tally, 23, and Mervin McXew, CB, of 131 McLlean PI.; Paul Madison, 24, of 715 Roache St.; Joe '.Vigginton, M, of 136 N. Illinois St., and Raymond Cain. 23. of 2154 N. Illinois St. All but Madison, police said, signed a statement that while sitting on Cain's porch early Tuesday evening. Boggs came to them and said: “Well, boys, it’s O. K. Now cut loose. Don't bar anything. I want to 3ee all of you out tonight.” The statement was signed first by Cain and later by the four other i. Threw Rocks The statement said they discussed the matter for some time -tfter Boggs departed and then decided to form a group and go out. ' They said they drove first to Alabama and St. Clair Sts., where one of their group threw rocks at a car. They then went to Thirty Fourth St. and Cen tral Ave., where they threw rocks at two cars but failed to hit them, they said. Later, they went to the Garfield loop and were throwing the wire over the tracks when they were arrested, the statement said. Boggs recalled talking to a crowd of men on a porch in the vicinity of McLean car barns and said it might have been Cain's porch. He flatly denied telling the men to “cut loose." “I told them I wasn't their boss,” he said. Tretton reported 90 per cent of the scheduled cars out of Highland barn by 7 a. m., 80 per cent out of McLean barn, 65 per cent ou: of W. Washington barn and 65 per cent out of Louisiana barn. 170 Men Employed Tretton declared 170 new men have been employed since the strike went into effect and that a number of former employes have reported for work. President Robert I. Todd of the street railway reiterated that the offe to take the strikers back by 6 p. m. does not apply to men discharged some time ago for joining the union and who appealed to the public service commission for reinstatement. The reinstatement of these men, an increase in their 37 to 42 cents an hour wage and recognition of the union are the strikers’ demands. Thei„a verage working dav was ten hours. The men filling their jobs receive a $2 daily bonus, over the pay schedule of 37 to 42 cents an hour. , Augmenting the one-man guard, two policemen will ride cars on a majority of lines tonight, Chief Johnson announced.
