AGREE TO ARBITRATION.
Chicago Freight Handlers win Abide
by Chicago Boards Decision,
RAILROAD MANAGERS NOT WILLING.
Declare that They Do Not See What
There to Arhitrste on Their
Part.

Chicago July 10 Business men OF thu
city took an active part IN attempting ia
settle the strike OF the freight handlers
To-Day, and at midnight although nothing
had been definitely settled. some llttlc prog
tess had been made. An agreement was
secured from the freight handlers union
that the organization would abide by the
decision Of the Chlcnbo board Of arbitra-
tlon II that organization could arrange
meetings With the general managers of the
railroads snd secure their consent a'so to
arbitration.
AT midnight the request for arbitration
had not been submitted to the railroads,
and IT Is not likely that such action viii
be taken before tomorrow morning. There
Is grave doubt that the proposition will be
favorahly received by the railroads Gen
cral Manager Hit Of the Rock Island and
General Manager Barrett Of the Alton said
tonight they had not been requested to ar

| large Western road said that while he did
not care to bc quoted personally, he was
conhdent that no proposition for arhltra-

The strikers are basing their hopes of
success on the sympathetic strike Of, the
transfers. II Is generally conceded that
the freight handlers have hut small
chance 20 win unless they have the support
OF the transfers union. II they secure this

Of the city and II was determined at once
to enlist tho services of the board Of arbi-

its members some OF the most prominent
business men In Chicago. IL was evident to
the business men that unless some truce
