SITUATION IN FREIGHT HAN.
DLERs' STRIKE.
pIckETs HARD AT WORK
Officers Of Teamsters' Union Say
Strike Was lnaugurated Without
Sanction Labor Federation.

Chicago, July 8.-The freight han
dlers' strike, which called out 5000
men yesterday and seriously curtail-
ed the handling of freight, appeared
no nearer settlement this morning
than it did yesterday. Chairman Job
Of the state board of arbitration, when
asked if he had received an answer
from the railroads to his offer of arbi-
t~ration, answered in the negative. At
all the freight houses pickets endeav-
ored to persuade newcomers from TAX
ing jobs and sought to lure away the
men already at work. In the yards of
the Illinois Central the men brought
in last night were at work on perish
able freight. They spent the night
in sleeping cars brought into the city
for them and ate their breakfast in
dining cars mostly of the pattern used
on construction trains. A mar famal-
lar with the present trouble and ex-
perienced in strikes, said today:
IF the teamsters come to the aid
of the freight handlers they will win;
if not, the chances are that they will
lose. 1t is too easy for the railroad
men to bring in new men,"
This statement is full of meaning
in connection with the statement of
officials of the teamsters' union, who
have said the freight handlers pro-
ceeded to strike without the sanction
of the Chicago Federation Of Labor
and that therefore they would be al
lowed to fight out their own salvation.
The jobbing interests of the city are
seriously tied up in their shipping de-
partments. Heavily laden trucks
which left from the freight yards yes
terday are, in many cases, still wait
ing to be loaded. The. roads so far
have had but little chance Of handling
anything save perishable freight.
This afternoon inquiries from Of
fcials of the various railroads ELECTED
the invariable statement that freight
of all kinds was being handled with
scarcely any delay. 1t was claimed
by all that they had sufficient men.
Among the recruits at the Illinois Cen
trail was an old nan and his three
stalwart sons from ''down the state"
81 am a stockholder in a small
way said the old man, "and as l
heard your men were leaving, | came
up with my three boys
The quartette was put to work by
the superintendent, to whom the am
nouncement was made.
President Curran of the freight han
dlers, declared he had been assured
of the support of the teamsters as in
dividuals and it is certain that no
effort will be spared by the freight
handlers to- obtain the support of the
union to which the drivers belong.
National Secretary Turley of the
Transfers said he knew of no action
on the strike being contemplated by
his union and said the drivers were
performing their duties as usual, save
in a few individual cases.

Seattle, Wash, July 8.-Two of the
finest bloodhounds owned by Warden
Carson, of the state ~penitentiary at
Walla Walla, are now hot on the trail
of the convict Tracy and bulletins
state. that his pursuers are only a
short. distance behind him. 1t is be-
lieved he will either be killed or
wounded and captured before many
hours have passed.
Tracy made another star escape
from m of the posses after him early
this evening". Word was received at
the sheriff's office that he had been
at the house of a Mrs. Gerald, near
Renton, for five hours. About SO arm
ed men at once rushed to the scene.
When they reached the place they
scattered and took positions so they
could watch the house to the best ad-
vantage.
The peculiar actions of Mrs. Gerald
convinced them that Tracy was still
in the house. .a
Gave Them the Slip.
On the arrival of Sheriff Cudihee
the posse closed in on the house, only
to learn from Mrs. Gerald that Tracy
had given them the slip. He had left
the house by a rear door ten minutes
previously while the posse were TAX
ing up their positions to watch the
place, hid for a few minutes in some
of the bushes and then quietly slipped
away through the woods toward Palm
er.
The wonderful nerve of the convict
was never more fully e~xemplified than
in this instance. In the back yard of
the Gerald home was found Anderson,
the mar he had kept a prisoner from
the time he had left Port Madison,
tied to- a tree. Tracy had tied Ander-
son to the tree while the posse were
in full view of the house before max
ing his escape.
BIoodhounds on Trail.
The bloodhounds were let loose or
his trail and are reported to be only
a few minutes behind him.
Fully a thousand armed men are
now engaged in the pursuit, including
a posse which has taken the train for
Palmer to try and intercept Tracy
in his flight toward Cedar mountain.
The startling news was received at
the sheriff's office this afternoon that
Outlaw Tracy was at Rancher Ger
AIDS house, two miles below Renton;
on the Cedar mountain road. A lit
tie after 2 o'clock Thomas Gerald, the
~17-year-old son of Rancher Gerald, ar
rived at the sheriff's Office with a gold
and silver watch, saying that Tracy
had arrived at his fathers house at
11:3O O'Clock this morning, and after
eating a hearty meal had sent him to
a neighbours house with the two
watches with instructions to try and
sell them.
He told the lad if he were given
away he would kill the whole family,
the boy included. The boy, knowing
that it was Tracy, concluded to bring
the watches into the sheriff's Office,
hoping that the desperate would re-
main there until a searching party
could arrive. The watches answer
the description Of those stolen from
the Johnsons.
