Bryan today of Senator Bob Taylor
of Tennessee, the committee of the
Democratic party, with the concur

The plan contemplates the forma-

posed that these clubs shall poll the
voters of the United States, and in
every section where feeling is averse
to the Democratic candidates and to
send literature and speakers.

New York, N. Y, Aug. 6.-Repre-

today at which the question of
grain rates east Of Buffalo was
thoroughly discussed. The steam

high railroad rate on export grain
east of Buffalo and complained of
the rates accepted by the railroads
from the lake ports to Montreal,
which they said was killing the
steamship business from New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Brooklyn.
They ended with an appeal to the
railroad men to adjust the situation
by a reduction in the east grain
rate. No conclusion was reached

the matter under aovisement. 1t is

Today three coaches loaded with
strike breakers reached here from St.

every extra laborer that can be util.
lied by the company, is being pressed
into service. Several mechanics are
expected from the Pacific coast states
while the eastern shops will draw
their supply from the New England
states.
Six union pickets have been placed
on duty at the local shops. At some
shops in far western cities armed pc
lice are on guard, but this is not con

here everything was quiet.
