oDETROIT. March 2l-R-A
blockade Of all entrances and
exits 70 the Detroit Union Pro-
duce terminal this morning tied
up perishable foodstuffs valued
at more than $3.50, 900. Some OBJ
servers regarded the move - m
attempt to restrain retailers
from buying In small lots at the
terminal in competition with
large wholesalers.
Approximately 200 trucks
owned by the wholesalers and
driven by members Of the re-
Gently organized local 337 of the
teamsters union, prevented
movement In or out Of the ter
minal. James O'Laughlin, union
organizer, declined comment on
the action but said 1t was mo
strike"
George Thiowechter, terminal
manager. said more than 100
trucks of retailers were crowded
in nearby streets unable to get
to the loading docks. He ex-
pressed belief that barring re-
tailers from the market would
drive many small dealers out Of
business and cause . rise in
prices to the consumers.
Unless the blockade Is lifted,
Thiowechter said, q shortage of
fresh vegetables would be felt
almost Immediately In city
stores whose stocks have been
depleted by weekend purchas-
ing.
Louis r. Shame, executive
secretary Of the Detroit Retail
Grocers Association, termed the
blockade n bold-faced move
against the retail grocers." He
said association attorneys were
consulting to determine whether
an injunction would be sought
to prevent the drivers from i'm
peding the movement Of food
stuffs.
The terminal is an organiza-
ton Of 30 car-lot receiver firms.
Its employees, not participating
in the blockade, are members Of
the D. U. p. T. Employees Asso-
citation, an independent union.
Among the goods tied up were
26 carloads Of auction produce
belonging to the Detroit Food
Auction Co., Of which Frank N.
lsbey, former state fair manager,
Is president.
Thiowechter said that prior to
the depression only the large
wholesalers bought foodstuffs at
the terminal, and that they In
turn sold these goods to retailers
and small wholesalers at the
Eastern and Western markets
here. Since the depression, he
said, retailers have been able 70
make purchases at the docks for
lower prices.

the quay, within hundred feet of the upper end of the Lake of Luz cerne, and in clear view of 'Pila- tus'-so we did not miss anything of the mighty spectacle.
 From the sudden turning of rnid- day into a total midnight, and the rising of violent shreiking winds natures thrilling drama developed with bewildering speed. A flash of zig-zag lightning from over 'Pila- te's' head illuminated the scene for second and revealed nearby and far distant mountains, and the beautiful lake boiling and foaming thing of horror.
 Then came the ear-splitting crash of thunder, and furious downfall of rain.
 Then followed an hour and a half of widest and maddest tumult of the clements. Intermittant lightn- ing and Egyptian darkness kept our eyes blinking and incessant thun- der was deafening.
 Each clap of thunder started echoes that seemed never to stop, but kept right on going-so there was a continuous bedlam of noise. I remember Walter Eaton's coln- ment on the extraordinary thunder echo effect-"It sounds to me-" said Walter, "as though the mountains were having a kind of thunder car- nival and playing game of pass 1t along, where 'Pilatus" pitched & chunk of thunder to 'Rigi', who, in turn, passed 1t along till 1t got to mighty 'Matterhorn', who likely handed 1t over with his compliments to his big chief, Mont Blanc"
 Next morning the sun shone his very brightest from an unclouded sky, upon lovely Lakes of Lucerne and majestic Alps--and even 'Pila- tus' gave no sign that he was the harborer of evil spirits and had been for nigh twenty centuries.
