and the session lasted till long after II
o'clock.
In the freight yards number OF strike
breakers are doing the best they can to
take care OF the freight as II comes In.
The yards are becoming crowded. how
ever, because most OF the men are green
in the methods used.
The force employed is not as large as
was formerly at work. One OF the most
noticeable features OF the strike Is the
quiet and orderly conduct OF the men who
are out.
The union has pickets out at all the
yards. but they have made no attempts to
molest the men hired since they feel that
the company will realize the futility OF
employing them permanently az they
cannot handle the freight with any degree
OF facility.

TO disrupt the union entirely and to dis

This fact was evidenced by the dis

any other or al, others put together. 1t
is, "what do you think corn is going to
be worth by spring." Who cnn tellS
No one can tell for sure, though there
are some who think they can make a
pretty shrewd guess. We have heard
