July 19.—A1l grains Closed well above Saturday's final prices after an active day on the Chicago Board of Trade. Corn and oats led in the advance, but the real strength camefrom the wheat pit. That grain closed from %c to lc higher, although greater advances had been, registered during the day. The early weakness of Liverpool induced selling, but northwestern conditions and an improvement in the tone of the cables caXtsed buying oh all dips. The proflt-Viking on the bulges was well absorbed, and the lack of an export demand hardly noticed. Despite increasingly heavy receipts, Cash prices were firm. All outside markets weer up in sympathy wis>i Chicago. Borrowed strength from wheal as well as the fear of heat damage caused corn to close 2%c to 2%c higher in all positions. Cash prices were lc to l%c higher. Temperatures as high as 101 were reported in Illinois, while Nebraska wires said that the corn was curling and firing. Trade in oats was a little broader and advances of V£c to l%c were registered on the theory that this grain had not sufficiently shared In the recent advance of the market, and that its position was basically sound. Muc hos the grain is being shipped from lowa to Minnesota for feed. Provisions closed lower when packers’ buying did not offset the etarly commission house selling.

GOVERNOR ASKED TO ACTjN STRIKE (Continued From Page 1) Todd's warning indicates that the two men are not agreed upon this form of arbitration action.” With no word from Harry Boggs missing union president, the strikers held their daily meeting at Plumbers' Hall this mortjing. The report follows: After a full Investigation, both sides to the controversy giving as full and bri..*f information, we the citizens’ committee desired to report as follows: 1. Our primary object was to secure arbitration of the question at issue between the street car managers and the striking employes. This the strikers are willing to accept, but tho company is not. 2. Our secondary object was to discover the reasons for the strike and the justice of the causes given, and to inform the public as to merits of the case. This, because the street car company is a quasi-public corporation, the conduct of whose business affects every citizen of the city. 3. YVe find the fundamental grievance of the men to be that of wagew To contend that the wage scale, 37 to 42 cents per hour, to r be one of the lowest if not the lowest, paid by any such company in cities whose population runs from 200.00 ft and up; that the wage is too low to afford a decent standard of living unless the men work about seventy hours a week and that it is too far below the scale prevailing In other occupations in our city, the requirement of skill and responsibility in which are comparable to that of running street cars. 4. We find a secondary grievance to be that there are no adequate arrangements for collective bargaining; that collective bargaining expressly is denied the men. 5. It is contended by the men that the purported contract, which the company claims every employe must and does sign, is not a valid contract; that there is na honest and intelligent meeting or minds and that the men are ready to provide many employes who are willihg to take a oath that they have never signed such contract; that they signed a blank sheet of paper, presumably as a receipt for a badge, without seeing or reading any such contract or having the same read to them, and without so much as knowing any such contract existed. 6. Inasmuch as we have failed to induce the street car company to accept nay ’ sort of mediation, aside from that provided in the purported contract with the men, and since the validity of such contract is a matter of dispute and therefore precludes the public service commissioner from functioning as an arbitration body, we again respectfully petition Governor Jackson to use his powers under the laws of this State to appoint, upon his own motion, a mediating commission, and beg him to use his powers and influence as our chief executive to see that all differences that cannot be settled through conciliation shall be submitted to arbitration, as provided by law. This we ask because we believe that with the refusal of the company to arbitrate without reference to said purported contract there is no other means to a settlement. Moreover, we believe it was the will of the people of this State, in enacting this law, that the chief executive should use it on behalf of public peace. Signed by Frank S. Clarke. Alva W.

Such publication was the first knowledge we had of its contents. “We desire to state that it never has been, nor is now, the intention of this committee, or of any member thereof, ‘to solicit or procufe present employes not involved in the existing controversy to start anew controversy.’ "This committee has at no time considered itself as an arbitration body, as your letter would indicate, but, rather, has been attempting to procure the consent of both parties to submit the controversy to such a body. This the striking men have agreed to do, but the company has refused. "Signed by the citizens committee. "FRANK S. CLARK. Chairman.” Frustration of what might have been the most serious explosion since the advent of the strike, took place at 4 a. m. when the brush on a W. Washington owl car swept three one-pound sticks of dynamite from the rails on the West Washington St. White River bridge. Had the car wheel struck the explosive, the bridge and car both would have been blasted, according to Capt. George Stone. A N.

Grasped Conditions "It did not take him long to grasp the conditions in Canton,” Cox stated. ‘‘His very soul revolted at what he saw on aji sides of him. He won the respect and admiration of the best citizens of Canton. ‘‘ln the short time he had almost driven the leaders of evil to their lairs, when they decided Don R. Mellett must die.

Love always carries with it the possibility of loss. Had we loved him less, the grief would have been less overwhelming. I would not dare stand here now if I thought that Don R. Mellett is not more alive now than when he was here with us in flesh. “Dared" Unto Death” “While with us he had trying days, but he faced them with a smile and daring.
