CHICAGO, May ia large turnout Of
probably 1900 met at the meeting Of
the freight workers yesterday afternoon.
The session was mainly taken up with
details and in perfecting the organization.
| In regard to the attitude Of the union
| toward the railroads, one of the MEM
bers informed reporter that the fight
had been dropped for the present. They
had decided, he said, to join the Knights
of Labor as an organization, and would
| get their charter in few weeks. Then
they would have voice, and would be
| able to command respect. They had,
| he said, acted unwisely to strike, being
| unorganized and without the certainty
| Of cooperation, but were proceeding on
| the right basis now. They would show
the railroad companies before many
months that they had not gained such
victory over the men as they had sup
posed.
