ChicnxO's Big Strik e..

Chicago, March l2.-Fifty thousand
Chicago workmen idle because OF the big
strike in the building trades, are depend
ent for their daily bread on what money
they have saved or weekly ALLOW ance
per capita OF 80, which comes out Of the
treasures OF their unions. The situation
is rapidly approaching critical point,
The idle carpenters. according to good
authority, have been drawing their So
each week for the last four weeks. The
structural iron workers also have been
lecciving financial aid from their organ
ization, and it is said the nod carriers
emptied their strong box last week IN
payment of strike benefits
The total amount OF money thus dis
bursed during the last four weeks is said
to aggregate $500 200, If reports have beer
accurate as to the number OF idle union
workmen.
1t has been estimated that, including
all trades, at least $4,000 men we're in a
state Of enforced idleness, OF whom 10000
were non union wcrkmen in the employ OF
material manufac turers who were shut out
in the closing of the plants.
This would leave 10000 union worhmen
idle, and conservative estimate OF the
proportion receiving financial help Is re-
ported AZ not much below 10000. Thirty
thousand men at S. a week each make.
payroll, big enough to stagger the lArg
est corporation, Of Sl50,oOo week.
The best information to be obtained on
the subject today was that the funds Of
number of unions had been exhausted
and that the workmen were beginning to
be apprehensive of the future. The idle
workmen have become anxious to see the
troubles ended number OF the business
agents admitting they had been called OF
| by workmen and asked to use all thei'
influence to bring about settlement,
Butchers, grocers and coal dealers II
districts inhabited by the workmen hav'
noted the fact that purchases OF thei
regular customers have grown smaller
and many OF the shrewdest storekeeper
have refused the customary credit.
