Utmost Secrecy.

Utmost secrecy was maintained by
the conference during the night The
doors leading to the conference room
were carefully guarded. Through clos
ed doors of the meeting hall could be
heard sounds of a heated debate. At
times voices were loud and angry.
There appears to be no question that
union officials intend their action to
be bona fide ending of the strike.
'Our greatest fear is that the men
will think we are merely taking this
action to comply with the courts order
and not with the intention of ending
the strike" said one high official. I'VE
are not Withdrawing the strike order
with the wink of an eye. We are go
ing to use everything in our power to
induce the men to return to work"
No Vote Taken.
No vote was taken at conclusion of
the debate. it is understood. All of
the 106 men in the conference who
wished to state their views were giv-
en- an opportunity.
Lewis merely listened" said one
official. The deciding power was in
Lewis hands. After hearing express
sions of other union leaders. he ruled
that the sentiment was undoubtedly
in favor of compliance with the court
order.

HE GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, June 16.-All deliveries of corn rose today to the highest prices yet this season. Persistent buy ing on country account furnished most of the energy. There was a strong close at Sc to 4%c net advance with July $1761s to $1.77 and September $1.7O3s to $1705s. Oats gained 23sc to 41kc. Provisions finished at Toe ad- vance to 40c decline.
 It was big broad market in corn throughout the day, with bullish senti- ment plainly in control from the start. Belief that the new crop was not going to turn out right and that old stocks would be exhausted seemed to be back of many of the orders to purchase Be sides, the fact that hog values had jumped to $26.71, the topmost figures ever known, operated as a further stimulus. The only important reaction came shortly after midday and was due to word that a car of Argentine corn had been received at St. Louis. Selling on this report, however, was quickly absorbed, and rush to cover was in full progress toward the last.
 Houses with country connections were active buyers of oats as well as of corn. December oats ascended to new high price record for the, sea- son.
 Realizing sales weakened provisions despite the bulge in grain and hogs.
