Chicago. July 1.-THE striking
freight handlers have voted TO go
back to work.
The Association Of Railway General
Managers, embracing every road
which enters Chicago, issued the fol-
lowing signed statement: "All Of our
old men not before on hand for
work. reported to the freight houses
at noon Wednesday and were put to
work. No conference was held with
any committee, or otherwise, since
Tuesday, and no agreement was
made with the union or with any
committee. The men simply report
ed for work, and they doubtless ex-
pect, and will receive the pay offered
July / and which the railroad com
panies have been willing all along to
pay"
After ten days Of strife the Chicago
freight handlers strike terminated
Wednesday in an unqualified victory
for the railroads. A meeting of the
strikers, presided over by President
Curran, resulted in an almost unan-
imous vote TO return to work, leaving
the wage scale and other questions
for settlement between the men and
their respective roads. At the conclu-
sion Of the meeting the strikers went
by hundreds to the warehouses TO
apply for their old positions, and the
teamsters who have remained out in
sympathy again took up their reins.
By noon immense quantities Of
freight which had been held back
for days were being rushed to the
railroads, or taken from warehouses
and cars. Where stagnation had
ruled commercial activity again
reigned. Chicago merchants ex-
pressed unbounded relief at the ter
minatlon Of hostilities but they We're
scarcely less happy than the men
themselves, although the strike IS
estimated 20 have cost them $10.00D,-
600. to say nothing Of the trade that
has been permanently lost to them.
The little hall where the meeting
OF the strikers took place was jam
med to suifocation. and thousands
were unable to obtain entrance. It
Was a brief meeting only long
enough for an angry speech by Presi-
dent Curran, and the vote which fol-
lowed. Men," said Curran, 1--WE came
out like men; we have acted like men,
and we should not 60 back like sheep,
but there has been treachery in OR
camp Yesterday, when l was about
to use the telephone the wire got
crossed and heard one Of the mem
hers of the executive committee talk
ing with a railroad manager, He
was encouraging the manager TO hold
out, for he told him that the strike
was almost broken. That is a sample
Of the faith that has been kept with
me. The officials Of the truck
drivers union have not kept faith
either. and it seems useless to con
tinue the Aght any longer"

OUR FRUIT INDUSTRY.
%|**

a.1*.s
Many Of the fruit growers in
this vicinity have of late become
quite discouraged at the outlook
for their industry and some of them
have almost given up in despair,
The scale and other pests have
in many instances, ravaged the
trees, but the growers would feel
more like making the fight if they
could see reasonable prospect Of
profitably marketing their products
A cannery has been talked of
but has thus far failed to develop
any definite push behind it and
consequently the grower has been
compelled to confde his fruit to
the tender mercies of the trans
portation companies and the often
times gross extortion and unfair
dealing of the commission mer-
chants.
On more than one occasion, ship
ments have been made of fruit in
perfect order which has been re-
ported as sold at dead loss to the
shipper and some times with a
charge for freight against him.
We are glad to note that there
is prospect for relief in this mat
ter and hope that matters may be
shaped, before another fruit season
in such way as TO guarantee our
farmers better return for their
labor.
Mr. S. R. Henry, Of Lebanon, N.
j., who is wintering at w. J. Stew
arts house on Railroad Street, is
one of the leading growers and
dealers in his section.
He is looking into fruit matters
here and would be glad to meet as
many growers and shippers as pos
sible with a view, if satisfactory
arrangements can be made, of buy
ing all the fruit of whatever nature
and variety offered, paying cash
for the same at the depot where
shipped.
Many with whom Mr.. Henry has ).
already conversed are much
pleased with the plan and hope it
may be successfully carried out.

They CRUSH The POWERS

This is written in mid October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, snow,-they are coming. You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. Ali the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it MANNED and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp 1t laid on men at work, women
ct home, and children In cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are rachng and tearing them still yes,

were cured by using Benson's Porous Plas-
tsrs. For the soothing and healing power
of these Plasters is wonderful. They con-
