The feeling exists that if the Grand Trunk is successful in combatting the standard wage scale, It would open the door for other roads to make a fight. In Canada, the strikers say they will bring to the attention of the Do minion railway commission the fact that passenger trains are being ope rated against the law, manned by inexperienced men. This may also result in a passenger tie-up. Cross ing the river yesterday to act as strike-breakers In - Windsor, two dozen men were deported by the Ca nadian Immigration officers, assisted by striking trainmen. Telegraph wires between Detroit and Grand' Rapids were cut III sev eral places last night and the train dispatchers were forced to use the telephone. Progress of t' e Strike. Montreal, July 22 With the strike-breakers on the Grand Trunk and the Central Vermont Railroads armed, the lines guarded, the strik ers in an ugly mood and small ricts already raging, serious collisions be tween the opposing forces are feared for today. While the railroad officials say that they are succeeding In op erating the Hues satisfactorily and that they will not yield to the de mands of the men nor even take the strikers back on the old terms, the determination of the strikers to win only grows every day that the strike Js prolonged. The arbitration by the Canadian government through W. L. MacKenzlc, minister of labor, appears to have. small chance of success.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) Baltimore, July 22 The govern ment filed suit here today to dissolve the "bath tub trust", the annual out put of which is $100,000,000. The suit, which was filed in the United States circuit court, is In the form of a bill of equity under the Sherman anti-trust act, asking the dissolution of the sanitary Ironware combination made up of 16 manufac turers. The bill was filed by Edwin P. Grosvener, special assistant to the at torney general, and Joseph Darling, special agent of , the department The investigation disclosed that the 16 manufacturing firms have entered into a combination controlling the prices and terms of sale of their products, throughout the United States. The bill alleges that they compel 'all jobbers to sign iron-bound contracts as a condition of obtaining their goods, and refuse to sell to any one not signing such uniform con tracts. They have also advanced prices, it is charged. Proof is in the possession of the government that the 16 manufactur ers gave complete authority to E. L. Wayman, the former secretary of the Enamelled Ironware Association to dictate prices to the trade. Wayman Introduced himself to the dealers of the country as licensor and claimed to have purchased all of the controlling patents. He said he had granted licensing to the 16 companies to manufacture under these patents a product which was to be stamped with a monogram, meaning "licensed sanitary enameled ironware". :,' ; On June 1 Mr. Mayman issued an ultimatum to all "blue . listed" job bers In the United States that unless they signed a contract with one of the 16 companies, to. buy exclusively from the trust and be governed by the prices he dictated they could not pur chase at all from the combination. The "blue listed" jobbers were also told by Mr. Wayman that If they dealt with the trust they could not resell its wares to any jobbers not on the 'blue list". The "blue list' is a sec ret bulletin Issued by the national committee of the confederate supply association of New York, which Js controlled by a clique o fmanufac turers and "e.elusive" jobbers. The government contends that the noval scheme of perfecting a combi nation through a license agreement is only a screen to hide a flagrant violation of the Sherman law. Way man's claim of purchasing the con trolling patents is characterized as simply a subterfuge. ' The far-reaching effects of the combination, had it been perfected, are emphasized by the fact that It would have imposed an extra tax on the country of $25,000,000 a year. At a secret meeting last spring at the Hotel Astor in New York City the prime movers in the trust planned to raise prices 25 per cent, on a yearly output of $100,000,000. ;f ' The products whose, cost would have been Increased include not only bath tubs, but also drinking fount ains, wash basins, sinks, shower re ceptors, lavatories and practically all other enameled sanitary devices which have become absolutely neces sary In a home equipped according to present! standards of health. . Francis J. Torrance is credited with. being the master mind of the combination. He has long been the dominating spirit, of the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company, of Pittsburg, Pa., which' today controls nearly 65 per cent of this business. FREIGHT KATES ON SALT.
