A statement of the situation was I prepared to be presented to President l Roosevelt by strikers committee | which desisted at his request from
 meeting him on the way to Chicago. The labor representatives planned to | inform the President of the legal pro- | ceedfngs which have been taken by the l employers and make proposition that 1 the President act as an arbitrator of the difflculties. choosing as associates | one man from the labor ranks and one | from the employers. The employers say they will not officially approach the President.
 "we have no intention of bothering President Roosevelt with our troubles" said Attorney Levy Mayer, counsel for the employers association today.

 Long before the time set for .he arr
 rival of the special train bearing, Pres ident Roosevelt and his party, the ro-
 lice and special guards began to gath
 CT around the Northwestern Railroad
 depot. No opportunity was given for
 the gathering of any crowds within
 block of the station. While the police
 denied that they anticipated any trou-
 ble while the chief executive was
 guest of the city, they nevertheless
 took all possible precautions.
 The police were joined at the rail- road station by two troops from the 1st Illinois Cavalry under Colonel E. c.
 Young, who were to form the guard of the Presidential party.

 Gufither of the Iroquois Club, arrived at the station early to sec that all preparations were completed for the Presidents arrivak They were joined shortly by members of their own and other reception committees.
 Here and there and around the sta ton stood secret service men and city detectives, which served the more to put on edge the nerves of the party.
 The usual number of police were on strike duty today with the exception of 400 who were withdrawn to act as guards for President Roosevelts Six teen hundred depty sheriffs have been sworn for strike duty and another body also was in service today, but there was seemingly little for them to do.
