BEARS RULE IN GRAIN PUS ON CHICAGO BOARD Down Rush Continues Despite Vigorous Resistance to Pressure. Bii United Press CHICAGO, July B.—The bears had their inning on the Chicago board of trade today, when all grains closed ,at levels bGcuv tho§e of Wednesday, despite vigorous resistance to pressure early in the day. W T heat prices have been soaring in the face of the heaviest crop movement of many a .year, so the reaction was not entirely unexpe6ted. , Losses of from % to a cent were recorded at the dose of the wheat pit, and the trend probably will continue downward for some time. Although most of the spring wheat country of the Northwest is still suffering from intense heat, showers were reported from the Dakotas and good rains from the Canadian Northwest and this was felt on the floor. The Dakotas and Minnesota may raise about half of their normal crop, acording to experts* but to do this they must have more rain soon. The Southwestern markets were also closely watched for any reflection of weather conditions in that saction. After a temporary rally rather early hi the day, there was free selling on all bulges, and this brought figures doWn to their present levels. The fact that there were many sales of 5,000 and IOfOOO lots indicated a renewed public interest in the market. Cash prices were steady, while export business was dull. Grain is piling up on the ground in tne Southwest, because the elevators are full and the railroads are unable to fhrnish enough cars to transport the wheat. Corn showed a little more strength ihan wheat, but lost from Va to 3 A oints on the close. A quantity of this grain was bought for the export trade, via Philadelphia. Cash prices were steady to higher. Oats were dull and neglected, the close showing only a very small fractional difference from Wednesday. Provisions lost more than they have for some time on free lard liquidation, despite the fact that the packers were on the buying side of the market. Chicago Grain Table • —July 8— WHEAT — Prev. Open.

A combination of flrcumstances caused the sharp slump in values. For the past week, receipts have been rather heavy and the 9,000 hogs In the pens this morning balanced the market. The local exchange has been “out of line” with other markets for several days and this lowering of prices has placed quotations on a more even basis. The principal competitive market was 10 to 25 cents lower today and this final development probably started the local market on the down trend.

STRIKERS PLAN MOVEON POLICE (Continued Front Page i) most of whom were made by "converts,” men said to have worked on the cars Wednesday and joined the union overnight. “This struggle is winning slowly but surely,” Parker declared. Plans for transporting people to and from the baseball park this afternoon and home from work at the stockyards and various factories were announced. To Carry Passengers Each striker was instructed, if he did not have a car of his own, to secure one from a friend and carry people free of charge. Signs reading “Union Hearts Ride With Me Free” and lapel bafges reading "I Walk” were distributed. International officers! of the union are in conference with a number of the largest stockholders of the local car company in Philadelphia and several points in Connecticut seeking “an amicable adjustment,” it was announced. This announcement explained the failure of W. D. Mahone, president, and W. B. Fitzgerald, first vice president of the international car men’s union to arrive from Detroit, it was said. Parker declared that company service is crippled and that 1,500 people were forced to walk home from McClure Beach Tuesday night. Company officials said the record of about 85 per cent normal operation was made possible by the employment of 280 new men. Forty men were employed this morning and 280 cars will be in service to handle the evening rush hour crowds. At the strikers’ meeting. President Harry Boggs said that with the number of accidents reported to police the public fast was losing its confidence in -these “inexperienced operators” and was utilizing automo-

biles more and more for transportation. Cheered By Pledge Strikers were cheered by the pledge of electrical workers, made in a resolution adopted Wednesday night, not to patronize the street railway or any of its subsidiaries as long as the strike exists, and by the anticipation of a similar pledge by delegates to the Central Labor Union, which will solidify Monday night after two years of internal dissension. Arthur W. Lydav, executive secretary o/ the central body, said a resolution supporting the strikers likely will be adopted. “The strike Is virtually over as far as we're concerned.” James P. Tretton. street railway superintendent declared. Tretton said, however, he is seeking to employ 100 more new men and announced the company will continue to pay an extra $2 a day over the wage scale to workers. The scale is 37 to 42 cents an hour. An increase, recognition of the union, and reinstatement of men discharged for joining the union are the demands of the strikers. Before the walkout street car men worked an average of ten hours a day, earning from $3.70 to $4.20 a day. Little suffering in the strikers’ ranks so far lias been evident, strikers financially able to to do so, sharing their cash with the less fortunate. Wednesday was pay day for the strikers, allelviating strained financial conditions in many strikers’ families. Court May Act United States District Attorney Albert Ward expected to receive a report from Edward McGuff, Department of Justice agent, to form the basis of a bill of information alleging contempt on the part of two organizers. The bill was expected to be filed before Judge Robert C. Baltzell in Federal Court, charging violation of an injunction issued forty-eight hours before the strike was called, prohibiting “all persons knowing of this order” from being involved in
any moves to Interfere operation of the street cars. McGuff's report was expected to supplement affidavits turned over to Ward by attorneys for the street railway that the organizers violated the injunction. In spite of the company's claim that the strike “virtually is over" no orders were issued by Chief pf Police Claude F. Johnson or the board of safety to reduce the heavy police guard of company property. C’apt. Lewis Johnson said the same force of 150'men' would ride the cars again tonight to prevent outbreaks ’of violence which marked Tuesday night when twenty men wore arrested. Most of Wednesday night’s police activity, was caused by reports that automobile loads of men were following busses and street cars. Investigation revealed however the autos contained street car employes, who were acting as guards. Few Arrests Several men said to be carmen were slated on minor charges. Yallie Van Arsdcll, 21, 'of 232 S. Illinois St.; George Du Sang, 22. of ICSO Ashland Ave.; Oran Morris. 25, of 623% Home Place, and James Righthouse, 24, of 322 E. St. Clair St., were all charged with congregating after Sergeant Chitwood end squad said they found them at Georgia nnd Illinois St Leroy Sweeney, 22, of 619 Warren Ave., was arrested on charges of vagrancy, no certificate of title and no lights and his two companions, Mack Edwards. 24, of 920 River Ave., and Louis Montgomery, 23, of Mars Hill, were charged with vagrancy and held under high bond. Sergeant Co* said he found the men riding in Sweeney's auto hlong the Prospect St. car line. John Barter, 2J, of 527 Chase St., and Carl Lucas, 21, of 23 W. Merrill St., said to be strikers were arrested on vagrancy charges by Officer W. R. Thomas. The officer said the men. riding on a Riverside car, attempted to persuade the crew to join the strikers. Patrolman B. Sullivan reported to Capt. George Stone that the English Ave. street car on which he was rifling was deiailed in front of 2232 English Ave. late Wednesday. The

Shot Fired Patrolman Alex Dunwoody reported that a shot was fired though a window of a VV. Tenth St- car at Tenth St. nnd l’ershln* Ave. Search ior the. person who fired the allot was unsuccessful. Police were sent to Tlbb* Ave. and Washington St. after it was reported that strikera were attempting to get carmen on the \V, Washington St. cars to Join their ranks. Same trouble was reported along the E. Michigan St. fine, police sold. Several men In an auto cursed carmen as their earn passed Drover and Morris Sts., police were told, but a searched failed to reveal any trace of them. Two gangs of alleged strikers were dispersed when police sfluads were sent to West und Washington Sts. and Blake nnd Michigan Sts., Wednesday afternoon. Reports were circulated in tlje> strikers' ranks of the possibility of sympathetic strikes, but they were for the moat part unfounded, it waa an Id. It was pointed out. however, that with the solidification of the Central Labor Union, labor generally will ho In n strong position to support the strikers. Bees'll Grove Not Hit Though its seven operators areunion men, there was no Indication of a spread' of the strike to the Beech Grove car line, where the wage “scale is considerably higher. O. F. Schmidt, owner of the line, said the minimum pay is 47 cents an hour with an annual Increase of one cent an hour. Because the nilnumum lias been increased several times since the line began oper atlon in 1911, a maximum never has been reached. Schmidt said. Schmidt said the l>est paid operator was making 55 centa an hour. The men work nine hours daily. All cars are of the one-man type. Operators of one-man cars employed by the street railway; receive a mlnmiunvriof 42 centa aB hour, with an annual one cent increase to a maximum o# 47 cents/ >
