Freight Handled Today.
BUSINESS is PARALYZED
Committee Appointed by President
curran confers With Railroad Off
cials-No Hope Expressed for
Speedy Settlement of the Strike.

Chicago, July 14.-The second week
of the freight handlers strike began
today with 10000 idle and the shipping
at a standstill. At distance from
each warehouse was company OF
.pickets posted to keep the freight from
entering or leaving the sheds. Nearer
the depots We're guards of police on
duty to protect the men in the ware
houses and quell any disturbances
which might arise. The gangs Of non
union men brought into the city to
take the places of the strikers, loung-
ed about the warehouses or in their
cars with scarcely anything to do.
Committee Visits Railroads.
President Curran of the freight
handlers union, appointed commit
tee to visit the various railroads, but
his proposition had reverted to the
original one, which is further than
ever from the ideas of the railroad
managers. No hope is expressed that
settlement will be made today, or
even this week Wholesale houses
made practically no attempt to send
out freight or receive it.
Business ParaIyzed.
Business on South Water street is
practically dead Thirty cars of per-
ishable stock are reported on the
tracks, while many more cars contain
ing commodities, which will last a few
days longer, lay abandoned.
Three Cars Cared For.
OF today's arrivals by rail only three
cars were cared for promptly. These
contained live poultry. 1t was said
the humane society would not allow
them to perish and permit was Sc
cured to deliver them to the consign-
ees.
lcemen at Work.
| President Field of the knickerbock-
er Ice Co.. stated today that the ice
men We're hauling ice everywhere, in
Guiding the depots and cars. This is
denied by some Of the strikers.
President curran Speaks.
Chicago, July 14.-At 1870 p. M,
President Curran of the freight hand
lers gave out a statement in which he
said, All conferences today have
failed, although we sent committees
of their own men to the managers as
they had requested. Hereafter the
managers will have to confer with the
Fofficials of the union. If they want to
waste 100000 a day over question of
half-cent In wages We will let them
try it,
Railroad Officials Meet.
Previous to the meeting Of the COM
mittees, the railroad managers and
isuperintendents held meeting among
themselves. They remained of the
mind that II cents is the proper com.
fpromise between the l6 cents paid and
the IS cents originally asked by the
truckers. This unanimity of opinion
among the managers is taken in ex.
1planation of the failure of the confer
enee following.

AGAINST THE SOUTH.

The chief desire Of Congressman
Crumpacker, OF Indiana, seems to be
to do something in opposition to the
welfare and progress of the south. It
appears from glance at his career
that he permits no opportunity to
pass without making an effort in this
direction. Two notable instances Of
this: One is his untiring and unceas-
ing effort to cause a reduction OF
congressional representation in the
south The other is his effor the other
day to strike out the appropriation
for the promotion Of fast mail facilities
in the south. 1t seems that he is in
every way possible opposed to any
thing that would be beneficial to the
southern states.
Whether this position suits his
Indiana constituency or not is
question, but it is presumed that it
does, or they would either call a
halt or elect someone else in his
place. This places the Hoosier state
in a rather unenviable position. The
United States is now one country.
under one flag, and the south is as
much a part Of it as any section,
and no state or its representatives
should be permitted to continually
stab it. The Birmingham Age
Herald offers a suggestion which.
while somewhat extreme, would
doubtless nave the desired effect.
ihis paper says it becomes a gus

continue to buy Indiana hay, corn.

So far Mr. Crumpackers efforts
