One commission merchant said
this morning the markets had not

OF all kinds OF such excellent quail

recollection.
The large quantity" said the
merchant" has caused the prices
TO fall considerably and Will prob
ably create a condition by the in
hux OF more produce. that still low
er prices will prevail tomorrow. The
refusal OF the housewife. many OF
whom have unemployed husbands,
TO make extensive purchase. has
forced the fruit and vegetable mer-
chants and the farmers OF the curb
markets TO reduce the cost OF their
goods"
During the past three weeks.
many OF the farmers have been
compelled to carry a large quantity
OF the produce brought 10 market

that Mrs. Eckrich told her THAT a

This Mrs. Eckrich later denied.

ment at the Todd's Cut shops.
Mr.. Fromm said that he then took
his family home and sat up all night
on guard. He noticed several strlk-
ers pass the house during the night
but no attempts at violence were
made.
Fromm said the reason why they
want TO get him" Is because he
refused to go on strike. He had
previously resigned from the union.
According 70 reports numerous
threats have been made to blow up
houses in the neighborhood in
which Fromm lives. The house IS
part OF row OF dwellings on Marsh
