Chicago, Ills, July 1.-Two hundred
men that were employed on the six
large buildings in the process of con-

employment of 100 non-union colored
steam filters in the construction of the

are out. This brings the total men on

ed They were dragged from their seats
and their horses either unhitched or
the harness was cut. At 1890 p. m the
five committeeman of the freight hand
lers returned to the union headquarters

BOILER MAKERS WIN STRIKE.

500 boiler makers of the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad system, which
began July / was settled and the strik-
ers are receiving an increase in wages
with time and half to be paid for
Sundays holidays and night work.
TRUCKMEN GO OUT IN SYMPATHY
Chicago, July 12.- Practically all the
truckmen in the city engaged in freight
teaming, refused to work this morning
pending the settlement or the freight
handlers strike. The strike is simply
a cessation of work by the men as in
dividuals and has not been authorized
by their unions. If the freight hand
lers strike is settled today, the teams
ters will at once resume their work.
Should the settlement fail, it is said
the commission merchants will lose
$50000O through the destruction of per-
ishable goods today. The freight han
dlers. held meetings this morning at
which committees were appointed to
visit the railway managers in accord
ance with the plan proposed by the
Chicago board of arbitration last night.
THE STRIKE MAY SPREAD.
Chicago, July 12.-Finally it was
learned that the managers and super
intendents are holding a meeting in the
Monadnock building, but before mes
had adjourned. The effect of the fail
ure to find the railroad men was almost
instantaneous. The word went out
that meeting will be held at o'clock.
The object of the gathering. it is said,
is to carry the strike order over the
heads of the officials. The sentiment is
SO strong and the fear is generally ex-
pressed that the strike, once called,
would extend to the other unions not
directly interested in the freight hand
ler's strike The action by the ice men
today is regarded as indicative of this.
The ice men refused to haul any ice to
preserve the goods held up by the strike
or take ice to the cars being transfers.
ed to other points. Joy Morton, the
head of the big salt firm of Joy Morton
and Company, delivered load of salt
himself today, forcing his way through
the company of pickets, before whom
his regular drivers turned back. When
Mortons drivers reported that they
could not pass the pickets, he cried to
his superintendent Discharge those
men; now I'll take these wagons
through or block the street." He seiz-
ed the reins first and with the office
employees following as drivers of the
other trucks, he forced the caravan
through.
SWITCHMEN MAY GO OUT.
Chicago, July 12.-At meeting of the
teamsters held this afternoon, it was
stated that a committee would be ap-
pointed to call upon the switchmen,
numbering 5000, to strike If the freight
handlers strike was not settled by to-
night. The teamsters assert that the
switchmen are ready to strike At 2:15
o'clock 1t was reported at the strike
headquarters that practically all the
railroads refused to pay over tic per
hour, thus bringing about a deadlock
Several conferences, however, are still
on.
The executive committee of the
freight handlers union, this afternoon
decided formally to ask the switch
men to strike. The committee imme-
diately started for the various yards to
make the request.
