Out of a clear sky, through the will

hauled to several addresses Later on
it was learned that after the en-
ployes had filed their own cellars
they filled the cellars of their rel
atiyes.
An unexpected discovery was made
in this connection. one railroad man
was found to have paid for hauling
coal to the home of a women. During
the grueliing fire of questions to
which he was submitted. he was ask
ed who the woman was to whom he
had sent the coal.
.tShe is my wife's washlady,' came
the answer.
Led Double Life.
u. c. officials questioned the man
wife about her "washlady" and found
she did not have such a person. Upon
running the thing down, it was found
the railroad man had been leading
double life. The consequence was
that he not only got into trouble with
his employers, but found himself en-
tangled in family difficulties that
might not otherwise have arisen.
Eventually fifteen employees We're
drawn into the affair. Altho thc~men
could all have been prosecuted for a
criminal act and probably sent to the
penitentiary, another course was TAX
| en- by the Illinois Central officials. II
appeared to them that In view of the
shortage of cars, the mannar In
which they had held cars contrary
to railroad rules in order to steal
coal was a more serious offense thar
the act of stealing the coal Conse-
quently all were dismissed from SER
vice. This is more serious than ii al
| first appears because it means they
were not given a clearance that will
enable them to find employment with
any other railroad in the United
States.

Strike on in Kansas.

Wichita. Kan, Oct 27.--With SO, O00.-
600 bushels Of wheat In the bins and
stacks of Kansas farmers. represent
ing two-thirds of the years crops,
with empty box cars on nearly every
railroad siding in the state and with
the country elevators ready to pur-
chase wheat. there were just eighteen
carloads of Kansas wheat on the
Wichita market today.
The wheat growers strike is on.
The strike started three weeks ago,
when the officials of the National
Wheat Growers Association, with
Headquarters in Wichita, issued a
proclamation to 10000 members not
to SELF any wheat after o'clock Oct
IS, until the price at their nearest
terminal market reached So lbushel
u Sales Stopped at Once.
Many farmers stopped selling wheat
Vat once and the decline in receipts
has been gradual since that time.
One year ago today. with more than
half the years crop marketed, the
receipts on this market were twenty
six cars.
w. III. McGreevy. secretary of the
wheat growers, association, says he Is
not at all surprised at fthez.nanner in
which the wheat growers have re-
sponded to the proclamation.
"The members of the association
are going to refuse to sell their wheat
until they can obtain for it what it
cost to raise it, he said
"ou7 Price or Boycott"
THAT is all we are asking and that
is what we expect to get. There may
be an occasional exception to the
rule, some man who must have q
little ready money to meet immediate
needs or to pay his banker who is
pressing him for a settlement. but
that is all.
Il believe however. that the bank
ers and the millers. as a rule, will
back the growers, for our interests
are Identical"
