ANOTHER STRIKE AT LANES.
thirty Lnsters Go Out and Other
Employees Mny Follow

Thirty lastcrs employed in Lanes
shoe factory, at Fifth avenue and Ster-
ling place, Brooklyn, went out on a
strike this morning rather than accept
another reduction In wages.
There are about 400 hands employed
in the factory, and, II is said, they
may all go out in sympathy with the
lasters.
Lanes factory is noted in Brooklyn
for its strikes, and nearly every week
small number OF employees strike,
and several times each year the entire
corps of employees quit rather than
submit to some grievance.
The news of the strike this morning
was at once telephoned to Police Head
quarters, and II detail of patrolmen
sent to the factory. During several OF
the strikes there has been trouble but
the police reported this morning that
everything was quiet
The men claim that each time they
strike their employers make conces-
sions that are kept for only a short
| time. The iast general strike among
| the employees was in May, when the
factory was closed for several weeks.

Weeks

Trading in corn was active this morn
ing, and prices were weak. breaking a

Bull speculation has been checked, and
as soon as longs began to sell, the mar
ket promptly gave way amid excited
trading. May corn broke at So IA cents
at New York, and 54l -S cents at
Chicago. Wheat was active. There
was large selling OF long stun for the
account of discouraged holders. The
activity of both markets made the Elk
change livelier than II has been at any
time for weeks. December wheat broke
to 60 l-2 cents at New York, and Sc 10

CHICAGO. Sept. A.-The Herald to-
day says:
Expert Little has given the Interstat tie

body believes convincing. of rebate pay
ments by Atchison officials. Mr. Little
was in Washington last week, and his
testimony is now on record. Two at
least of the Commissioners declare they
Will bring action against all officials
implicated and punish them to the full
extent of the law. This will be testing
the Interstate act with a vengeance as
there Is liability of $4,000 fine and two
years in the penitentiary for every paw
ment of rebates OF which there Is proof.
The Commission has been quietly in
yestigating the charge ever since Expert
Little's report on the Atchison books, in
which he claims 1900 900 had been paid
in rebates to shippers. Photographic
fac-similes were obtained of two rebate
vouchers calling for the return of s., 900
to two shippers who had patroniZed the
Atchison. In addition there was OBJ
tained the affidavit of an employee who
had received large amount OF money
In rebates for his employer.
The Commissioners declare they have
all the proof necessary, but are hesitat-
ing only to take action because of the
knockout blow II would give the Inter-
state act II they were defeated.
