STRIKE MAY BE AvERTED
Railroads Will Not Increase Freight
Handlers Wages, But Will Make
Other Concessions.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-The Indications
are that the threatened strike Of the
freight handlers employed by the rail-
roads in Chicago and vicinity will not
take place, the union having decided 10
waive the demand for an increase If
ten per cent in wages. Committees
representing each freight house
throughout the city called on the gen.
eral managers. and although in each
instance they met with a fiat refusal
for any increase in wages, were offered
notifications in other ways, such as
working hours and pay while injured.
AT the meeting of the executive COM
nlittee of the international union, called
to hear the reports of the committees.
it was decided to advise the men TO ac-
cept the proposition Of the railroads,
the whole matter to be submitted
to a mass meeting of the rank and file
of the union, probably Saturday night.

the cause of the fire. Some attribute 1t
to an overcharge of electricity.
