MILL RESUMED.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 14.-The second
week OF the freight handlers strike be-
gan today with 1000 men idle and
shipping at standstill. President
Curran of the Freight Handlers union
appointed committees to visit the yari-
GUS railroads, but his proposition had
reversed the original one. II was
further than ever from the ideas of
railroad managers and no hope Is ex-
pressed q settlement will be made to-
day, or even this week. The wholesale
houses made practically no attempt to
send out freight or receive it. These
big establishments are all closed down.
The strike has cost them hundreds of
thousands of dollars already and they
stand to lose millions should the condi-
tions which obtained this morning con-
tinue. The loss in wages of striking
freight handlers and teamsters, to the
railroads and other lines of business is
roughly estimated at considerably over
800 900 900 a day. The situation Is
admittedly very grave.
At 1870 p. m, President Curran, of
the freight handlers gave out a state
ment. in which he said:
"All conferences today have failed,
although we sent committees of their
own men to the managers, as they re-
quested. Hereafter the managers VIII
have to confer with the officials of the
union. III they want to waste 500 900
