Striking Freight Handlers May Re-
turn to Work To-Day.
Chicago, July 12.-Mutual concessions
by the freight handlers and by the rail-
roads have paved the way for confer
ences between the managers and their
employees which, it is hoped, will lead
to the settlement of the freight hand
lers' strike. These conferences which
will be the result of the work of the
Chicago board of arbitration, will be
held to-day in the officers of the re-
spective general managers. After
working all day upon the situation the
board of arbitration last night made
the following recommendation, which
has been accepted by the railroads and
by the freight handlers: ''That a
committee of five. four Of whom must
be employees Of their respective rail-
roads and having full power to act,
meet with the proper officers of the said
railroads during the forenoon of Satur-
day, July II. to settle the existing diff
ferences between the railroads and
the freight handlers While not so
expressed in the recommendation, it is
understood by all parties that the
fifth member of each committee is 20
be member of the executive commit
tee of the freight handlers.

compulsory Arbitration of the
Freight Handlers Strike.
Chicago. July 10.-At the close of the
second day Of the freight handlers
strike every indication pointed to a
settlement of the trouble to-day.
strong pressure yesterday was
brought to bear on the contestants from
all sides. and to-day committees from
each railroad will meet with the man.
ayers and discuss terms, F.. W. Job
and w. T. Mathis Of the state board Of
arbitration paved the way for the
meeting of the managers with their
own employees, and the executive board
of the Chicago Federation Of Labor
practically ordered the men to
Accept the Proposition
" lose the sympathy and support Of
organized labor in the city. A COM
mittee of five from each. of the twenty
four railroads was appointed, and while
these committees have not been vested
with full power to effect settlement,
they have been given sufficient power
to give and take little.
All the committees will meet in joint
session at 2 o'clock to-day, when it is
confidently expected the strike will be
declared off. Unless the railroads agree
to do business with the committees,
then the, Chicago Federation OF Labor
pledges its moral and material support
to the striking freight handlers. This
support mea as that the teamsters, who
have been held in check to great ex-
tent so far by their officers efforts,
Will BE Free From Restraint
and will undoubtedly assist the freight
handlers. There is said to be no
doubt about the managers Of the diff
ferent roads treating with a commit
tee of their own employees, as they have
declared from the first that they were
ready to do so. and blamed the officers
Of the freight handlers union for not
doing business in that way.
Already the operations of the freight
handlers union are making themselves
felt in curtailing the offerings of pro-
duce on 'the street." whence 100000
people draw their food supplies. Ac-
cording to the most conservative COM
mission merchants, however, there is no
serious cause for alarm beyond gen
eral raising of the level of prices They
anticipate no danger of a food famine.

Tracey made another extraordinary

day afternoon. Word was received at
the sheriff's Office that Tracey had been
at the house of Mrs. Gerald, near
Benton, for five hours. Fifty armed
men at once fastened to the scene.
When they reached the place they scat

Seattle Wash, July 12.-Bloodhounds
and scores of deputy sheriffs were UNI
able to stir Outlaw Harry Tracy from
concealment in the brush near Coving-
ton yesterday. Because of the midnight
battle Thursday night the posse were
sure Of the convict's whereabouts. A
Gordon of experienced marksmen en-
clrcled this place early in the evening,
ana there was no possible avenue Of
escape for the fugitive without a fight.
Hounds We're started On the trail early
yesterday morning and worked in every
direction, but without success. Dark
ness fell with less encouragement for
the hunters than on Wednesday even
ing. Every kinchEof rumor was received
from the scene of the deputies search
yesterday. At one time report was
started that a battle had been fought,
resulting in the death of seven deputies
and the wounding Of the convict. Dill
ligent search for the source Of this ru-
NOR met with failure. 1t is believed to
be absolutely groundless, yet it cannot
be branded until every part of

has been heard from. The nature of
the country through which the chase
leads would make it possible for a bat
tie to be fought in Ole Of the ravines
ana little be heard of it in the neigh
boring towns FOR E?any hours.
At dawn yesterday morning the sher-
IFS and deputies of several counties
making their headquarters at Auburn
and Covington started for the country
Immediately adjoining the place where
Tracey was fired upon by four guards
Thursday night. Every part of the
distance for several miles around was
carefully gone over by the men who
expected at any moment to hear the
roar of the convict's rifle. The willy
fugitive, however, was not to be found,
nor was there trace of him. It is be-
lieved that Tracy was but few feet
distant when he was challenged by the
guards Thursday night. He jumped
into the brush at the sound of voices,
but could have gone but a very short
distance before sixteen shots were fired
from their rifles. It is thought that at
least one of the rifle balls must have
found the mark.
