midnight from Toledo wero taken out to

the assistance of tho police succeeded In at-
taching an engine and caboose tn a waiting
rrolght train o( ten cars destined for oouin

momentarily became more threatening.

Finally responding to tho cries of several
laborers the crowd rushed for the police
and turned tlio switches In spite ot them.
A portion of the crowd nt Hie same mo-
ment surged toward tho train which had
commenced to move out but which passing

tho meleo the police succeeded In
making two arrests. One of them Is a

the crowtl about tho switching yards was
still very large and constantly growing In
numbers despite the frequent rain phowers.
Some of the Imported switchmen were at-
tacked by the strikers shortly after noon
and severely Injured. It Is staled that a

was mado to take an engine from tne
roundhouse the crowd made an effort to
run a box-car on Die track. The police
charred them however knocking two men
dowu with their clubs and placed them
under arrest. A third man was also arrested
who was active In tbe efforts to cause the
blockade. The crowd then retired and the

tempt to Capture Mew Wheat.
Sr. Louis June 28. The Chicago eleva-
tors have Inaugurated a cut In the rates ot
storage for wheat ot Je. reducing tho rato
from l)4e to c to go Into effect July 1.
This cut Just on the eve ot tho movement
ot the now crop made considerable stir In
this city when tbe announcement ot the cut
was made to-day. The receivers and ship-
pers regard It as an attempt on tbe part ot
Chicago to get tbo bulge In the new
wheal by giving It a good start In
that direction and are looking to
the local elevators to meet lho cut "This
is tho time to strike" said one "and the St
Louis and Kansas City elevators should
come to the front and meet the cut so that
dealers can know what to do. They should
not wait until they havo lost Irretrievably
a large part of tbo crop. In neutral terri-
tory. Chicago bas less stringent grades
the railroad rate Is nearly as gooLf rom our
territory and thn wheat sells higher there.
With this cut tho Inducements will be
strong for wheat to go there. I believe St.
Louis and Kansas City should meet all tnd
every kind ot competition.
