CHICAGO STRIKE ENDED
Freight Handlers Go Back to Work, and
All Is Serene.

Chicago. July 1.-THE strike Of
called off. 7 efore this was done the
teamsters had concluded to begin
keeping their contract again, under
positive orders OF their officers, and
had begun l.auling freight.
The strik' was declared off at a
meeting of the freight handlers at
which Curran declared that the team
sters We're the cause of the defeat be-
cause they Lad not joined. He also
said that since the organization of the
union advances in wages for freight
handlers had been secured aggregat-
ing S131,O52 per year. The men go
back on the scale offered July ! by e
railways.
Curran. in the course of his address
to the men, said: Il am going to organ
lie the freight handlers all over the
country, and when we decide to fight
again it will not be a struggle betwee. .
the freight handlers In Chicago and
the railroads. but between the rail-
roads and the freight handlers al over
the country"
The strike it is estimated. cost the
business men of Chicago $10,OO0.000,
and In order to guard against such a
contingency in the future they are pre-
pairing to inaugurate an educational
campaign In opposition to the sympa-
thetic strike. The labor unions will be
asked to forego the use of this potent
weapon. The business interests which
suffered through tDe strike will join in
pleGging themselves, it Is said, not to
sign union agreements which do not
guard them against these strikes.
On the other hand, the labor unions
are fighting to secure the right to alb
rogate agreements for the purpose Of
ordering sympathetic strikes.

HOW THE DELEGATES FEEL
Generally Speaking They seem To Be
Against a Strike.

The sentiment among the delegates,
as far as it can be determined from
those who are already here. is against
a strike. John Z. Reese. president of
the Iowa L. ". w, declares that he
is for strike only as a last resort
J. w. Howe. president of the Tennes-
see L. NJ. w, viii not declare himself.
saying he will use his best judgment;
bur the members of his delegation say
that they are not in favor of strike
If it can be avoided. Daniel Young.
president Of the Maryland delegation
takes the same position as Howe. ard
his followers as do those of the Tenn
essee man-that they do not wish
strike if they can keep out OF it.
The Missouri men are against Il
strike. and are instructed to fight
against IL on the floor of the cOnven-
ton. Alexander Patterson. who rep
resents the Colorado miners, says that
he does not favor strike, only as the
last resort. Indiana men are against
q strike. The delegates from Illinois
are partly uninstructed, and others
have instructions against strike.
Those who are uninstructed will not
declare what they will do. but many
of them say that they are opposed to a
strike.
". F. Williams. president of the
Michigan delegation, said that the men
from his state have never declared in
favor of a strike. The Michigan dis
trict signed the call for the convention,
and it was generally thought that they
would favor a str4xe; but this. Will
liams declares. is not the fact. I'VE
signed the call" said he. because we
thought that the men on a strike in
the east Were entitled to some consid-
Grafton. and that it was only right
that the organization should meet to
take steps for their relief"
The delegates from the anthracite
regions are strongly in favor of a
strike. but they are urging their views
with moderation. The men who say
that they are against a strike say ct
the same time that they are willing to
strike if the, see no other way to aid
the anthracite miners. 1t is not likely
that vote on the question of striking

indianapolis, Ind. July 17.-This
morning the national convention of the
United Mine Workers assembled in
Tomlinson hall to discuss the advisa-
bility of calling a strike to aid the
anthracite men who have been out in
the east for several weeks. The action
of the convention is uncertain, al
though the situation indicates that
there will be no walk-out o. the soft
coal men. There are so many circum-
stances. however. that may change the
situation that speculation regarding
the result of the convention is practi-
cally worthless. If President Mitchell
would declare his personal preferences
it would rot be difficult to foretell the
outcome.
