plans for a rising must be given up. at

men returned to work but none of the
superintendents of the dock knew
what the men intended to do.
At noon the scoopers situation was
more complicated than ever and hour
ly growing more serious. When the
scoopers went to the elevators to carry
out their agreement and go to work
they were stopped by the police.
1t is now reliably reported that all
switchmen on railroads in any way
connected with handling grain in cars
will quit work before midnight. This
means four hundred switchmen in the
railroad yards will quit work, paralyz-

and other monthly men at the eleve-
