From All Appearances the Freight Strike
Is Failure.
CHICAGO, May S.-A visit to the various
freight yards to-day found most of them re-
csiving all the freight offered though at
some of them not much is offered. The
striking workmen with the exception Of
one or two yards, the Wabash and Grand
Trunk, no longer hang around the yards
m SQUADS and indeed there is no hing IN
tue freight department to indicate that
stribe had ever occurred.
Everything was quiet this morning at
the Forty first street crossing o. the West
ern Indians track, and though the striking
,4irch tenders congregated there in num-
bsrs they did not attempt to interfere W tn
the new hands who, under tue protection
of a squad of special deputy sheritfs,
threw switches for back freight and pss-
senyer trains and the business of the road
preceded without delay.
The Northwestern is handling all the
peopls offered. Alltheir striking employees
except freight handlers returned to work
rnis morking. The B. & o. Is handling
freight slowly, but BY Monday Manager
Abbott expects to be prepared to receive
nsri.hsble and eli other freights offered
A few of the striking freight handlers OF
,be Michigan Central, eight or ten IN mum,
bsr returned to work this morning, and all
freight offered is promptly handled.
From what could De learned BY q VISIT
70 a number of freight houses ana yards,
there seems to be general idea that the
backbone of the strike Of the freight han
dlsrs is broken.
