It. is now the belief Of many persons IN
Clifton and nearby Canadian villages that
the dynamlters were ageats for Buffalo
grain shovelers and sought to blow up
the locks for the purpose Of disabling the
Welland canal, thereby preventing the
passage OF grain through the canal from
Port Colborne to Mqntreal With the

grain handlers OF Buffalo had organized
for the raid and that they would rea b

failed to discover anything to indicate a
movement of Buffalo grain shogelers TO

story when It was told them by news

Mahon OF the Grain Shoyelers' union
